• The garage was buzzing last weekend after 18-year-old rookie Joey Logano (right) won his first Nationwide Series race in only his third career start. Expect to see Logano, who signed a development deal with Joe Gibbs Racing at age 14, in at least one Cup race this season. He could be full time in NASCAR's top series as soon as 2009.

• Kyle Busch is making enemies at every level of NASCAR. On the last lap of Saturday's Craftsmen Truck Series race, he ran into the back of series points leader Ron Hornaday, spinning him out. Afterward Hornaday, who finished 23rd while Busch took seventh, was furious, saying, "I hope I don't hurt him." For drivers who make their living in the series, the move by Busch, who's racing trucks part time, was bush league.
