Feeling sleepy...

There were 38,000 people who apparently were looking for a nice nap in the early summer sunshine.

That's the crowd they just announced at New Hamshire International Speedway on Saturday, where Kevin Harvick was putting the finishing touches on his win in the Camping World 200 for the Busch Series.

Only one moment of true drama -- other than seeing Clint Bowyer dump Juan Pablo Montoya into the turn 2 fence with about 35 laps left -- and that was when Eric McClure took a backwards spin along the top of the SAFER barrier in turns 3 and 4.

Other than that, it was another Busch Series snooze-fest, one with 18 Cup drivers in the race... The top-10 finishers were all Cup regulars. Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively, with Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin rounding out the top-5.
New England product Bobby Santos III finished 33rd, 11 laps down. He spun in turn 3 while running alone on lap 103.

Oh, by the way, Jimmie Johnson was fastest in the 2 Saturday Cup practices.
