The ARCA Racing Series heads to the Mobile International Speedway for the third straight year. The trophy has stayed in the state, as Alabama drivers Cale Gale and Grant Enfinger won the first two events.

Heading into this weekend, Enfinger appears as the hands down favorite. He is coming off a win in the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona and is looking to make it two-for-two on the season. Enfinger can become the first driver since Jimmy Horton in 1990 to win the first two ARCA events to start the year.

Since a Sprint Cup race will be on my birthday this season, I decided to re-visit the last time the Cup Series ran a race on my birthday, which was March 23, 2003.

The tour made its first of two dates at Bristol Motor Speedway.  Kurt Busch, then with Roush Racing headed into the race as the defending winner.

His win in 2002 was no easy task, as he had to muscle his way around Jimmy Spencer.  Busch put the bump-and-run on Spencer and pulled away to record his first Cup win of his career.  It started a rivalry between the two, which would last until late in the 2003 season. Continue reading →
