Maryland Racer Dies

A Maryland man has died from injuries suffered in a race at Summit Point Raceway in the Eastern Panhandle. The National Auto Sport Association announced the death of 28-year-old Cale Kastanek of Hagerstown, Md., on its Web site. The association said Kastanek was injured Sunday in an accident at the Jefferson County track.

Kastanek died Monday at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va. The association said Kastanek participated in Time Trial, autocross and other forms of motorsports. He also was a professional pilot. (thatsracin.com)







Close Truck Points Race

Trying to capture his second consecutive NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship and fourth overall, Ron Hornaday found himself in trouble last weekend at Phoenix.

The only consolation was that points leader Johnny Benson did, too. Both ended the night with severely wrecked trucks and finished one position apart.

"I'm just glad they both pulled a bonehead on the same night," said Hornaday's team owner, Kevin Harvick. "That's pretty much what it boils down to. They both could have had opportunities to put daggers in each other. Luckily, they synchronized their bad nights."

The result is the tightest points battle in series history entering Friday night's Ford 200, the season finale, at Homestead-Miami Speedway (8 p.m. Eastern, Speed). Benson leads Hornaday by three points, a margin that can be overcome by leading a single lap.

Benson, who drives the No. 23 Toyota for Bill Davis Racing, is seeking his first series championship. He also won the 1995 title in what is now known as the Nationwide Series.(thatsracin.com)
