Matt Kenseth Wins The Daytona 500

Good for him. I like Matt Kenseth, and he was truly happy after the win.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Matt Kenseth is leading the Daytona 500 during a rain delay that might hand the former NASCAR champion his first victory in NASCAR’s biggest race of the year.

Matt Kenseth passed Elliott Sadler with 54 laps to go in Sunday’s race. Caution came out moments later for an accident started by Paul Menard, and the rain that had been threatening all day finally arrived.

NASCAR stopped the race two laps later, and the cars were called to pit road. Some drivers climbed from their cars to wait out the delay, but Matt Kenseth is still sitting inside the No. 17 Ford.

Kevin Harvick is in second. AJ Allmendinger, who raced his way into the field in one of Thursday’s qualifying events, is in third.

The rain-shortened result is weak, especially for the season’s biggest race, but NASCAR officials said that the rain was not scheduled to move out of the area until about midnight. They probably made the right call.

Matt Kenseth Is The Rain-Shortened 2009 Daytona 500 Champion

The race was red flagged for rain with 48 laps to go and shortly after, NASCAR called the race, giving Matt Kenseth his first Daytona 500 Victory.

Matt Kenseth had remained in his car during the red flag, only coming out of it when the race was called. When interviewed, he commented first that it was going to be a pretty embarrassing interview, cuz he was crying like a baby. And he did. And I'm betting many cried with him.

It was an eventful race to say the very least. Kyle Busch dominated and led 88 laps. It only took Smoke just over 40 laps to make his way from the very back to the very front. Joe Logano got taken out after a bump with another rookie, Scott Speed.

The biggest wreck, however, came at lap 125 when Jr got into Brian Vickers on the restart. Brian was trying to block Jr, and Jr got into him. The unfortunate part was the wreck took out so many great cars, including the dominant car of the race so far, Kyle Busch.

But the number 17 DeWalt Ford Fusion came thru that wreck unscathed. On the restart, he and Elliott Sadler were up front, where no one expected them to be. Everyone knew the rains were coming and when the 8 and 9 got together and the caution came out, everyone held tight.

Elliott Sadler got passed when Matt Kenseth got a nudge from Happy that sent Matt Kenseth to the front. The yellow flew, then the red, then the checkers.

The Daytona 500 is always controversial. Many say it is a boring race, but this race was anything but boring, and a very deserving driver won. Now he’s off to New York and David Letterman, among other things.

Congratulations Matt Kenseth, to you and your team. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Did Chris Brown Beat Up Rihanna?

Authorities are not revealing the identity of the woman involved in an alleged domestic dispute with singer Chris Brown. It is standard practice not to release the name of a person involved in a DV case.

Although previous reports say there was an unknown woman assaulted by Chris Brown on Sunday, February 8, Us Weekly and TMZ report that Rihanna was the said victim due to a report made in the name of Robyn Fenty… Rihanna’s birth name.

According to the police report, a 19-year-old R&B singer and an ‘unidentified woman’ were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles early Sunday when an argument ensued. Police claim the woman suffered “visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker.” Chris Brown was not on the scene when authorities arrived.

The grapevine also came up with an interesting story that Rihanna had allegedly been spotted at a nearby hospital with bruising and bite marks. The bruising is true, but the bite marks haven’t been proved or disproved.

The couple .. er… the two stars were scheduled to perform at the Grammys and were both nominated for awards. A last minute cancellation for the two seemed strange, but the show went on.

Chris Brown turned himself in at a Los Angeles police station while investigators check out felony battery charges filed against him. They booked him for criminal threats but later him on $50,000 bail.

If all of this pans out, Chris Breezy cold be facing additional charges.

An LAPD spokesperson would not confirm the TMZ reports or nor would they say if Rihanna was the victim. But, they also did not say she wasn’t.

In a previous interviews, Chris Brown has spoken about his abusive stepfather whom he claims he hated for abusing his mother.

As of yet, nothing has been announced by Rihanna’s team.


why did chris brown beat up rihanna

More details have emerged regarding the controversial assault/battery arrest of singer Chris Brown. TMZ is reporting that law enforcement sources have confirmed that Rihanna sustained severe injuries after she and her beau (Chris Brown) got into an altercation around 12:30am Sunday morning.

Brown later turned himself in to the LAPD, faced questioning and was released on $50,000 bail.

According to TMZ, Rihanna was in very poor condition following the incident which reportedly left her with bruises, a black eye and contusions.
TMZ reports the following:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Rihanna's injuries were severe -- two "huge contusions" which swelled up on both sides of her forehead. We're told she also suffered "a bloody lip and nose."

So for those of you asking did Chris Brown beat up Rihanna or did Chris Brown go to jail the answer appears to be yes to both. He did turn himself in to the LAPD and it has been confirmed by many sources that he beat up Rihanna.

Another question many are asking themselves is Why did Chris Brown beat up Rihanna?

The answer is that question remains unknown but there's one rumor fuelling through Hollywood that we're skeptical to believe.

Some media outlets are reporting that the altercation between Rihanna, 20, and Chris, 19, initiated because Rihanna gave Chris Brown herpes.

Despite this exact statement being reported all over the Internet we refuse to believe that this is the truth and think it's really disgusting that media outlets would print this type of information when the poor girl has been put through so much already this week.

Miley Cyrus Trades In Porsche Cayenne For Toyota Prius


I bet the people who make the Prius are so happy today with all the free advertising they are getting from Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus traded in the car that her mom gave her for her birthday, a Porsche, for something Earth friendly, the Prius. Miley Cyrus is trying to be more green these days. There is even a song on her new album, Breakout, called Wake Up America. And it goes something like this…

Oh, the earth is calling out
I wanna learn what it’s all about
But everything I read’s global warming, going green

I don’t know what all this means
But it seems to be saying

Wake up America
We’re all in this together
It’s our home, so let’s take care of it
You know that you want to, you know that you got to

You need to listen to her explaining it…it’s hard to remember that she’s actually a 16 year old. Especially when she says she wants Hello Kitty floor mats and that the Prius is adorable. We all know that’s an important factor in buying a new car.


Miley Cyrus Trades in Mom's Porsche for Prius


Miley Cyrus says her mom's black Porsche -- which she inherited around her 16th birthday -- was driving her crazy. So she ditched it for a new set of wheels.

"I didn't like it 'cause it was bad for the environment, and it was too big," she says in a new video on her Web site. "My dad surprised me last night with a black Prius."

She likes it better because it's "good for the environment, and it's adorable!"

Her first item of decor: "I'm gonna get Hello Kitty floor mats!"

Miley Cyrus, who turned 16 in November and recently obtained her driver's license, had been longing for her dream car for some time.

Last August, she told Radio Disney that she wanted a car that was "big enough for all my friends and to scare all the cars away from me. I'm a good driver but it's everyone else that I'm worried about!"
