Do I understand why David Reutimann felt it necessary to repay Kyle Busch at Kansas?

Certainly.

Reutimann, still battling for respect in NASCAR despite two wins with a team still fighting to be a Chase contender, can't afford take finishes in the doldrums of the running order just because another driver lacked a bit of patience.

I understand his explanation that his No. 00 team didn't have the option of when Kyle Busch was going to wreck. I get that Reutimann -- at Kansas, a track nearly identical to the site of his last win in Chicago -- had a car under him and was looking for a prosperous day.

That's all fine. That's all dandy.

Until the tables are turned.

Tony Stewart owns just about everything there is at the Prelude to the Dream.

He's won it the most (3 times), is the only driver to lead all 30 laps of the feature (2008) and holds the one-lap qualifying record at 116.845 mph.

One other thing: he owns the track. Literally. Bathrooms, concession stands and all.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- That horrific barrel roll at Dover, the one that looked more like a scene from "Talladega Nights" than a real NASCAR wreck?

Turns out it gave Joey Logano confidence, not fear.

Passing points leader Kyle Busch with three laps left, Logano won at Kansas Speedway on Saturday, pulling out his fifth Nationwide victory less than a week after that spectacular crash during a Sprint Cup race.
