Salem-News.com Sports (June 05, 2006 23:12)NASCAR Takes Playing Hurt to a New Level By JENNA FRYER, AP Auto Racing Writer(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) -  Ricky Rudd once had to duct tape his swollen eyes open to race.

“I`m very, very proud of my guys,“ OSU head coach Pat Casey said. “I think we started out ranked sixth or seventh in the country in most polls and that is difficult to sustain and maintain, so I`m very proud of our club. I thought they played well throughout the regional.“

Salem-News.com Sports (June 04, 2006 19:52)Kenseth Rallies to Win Dover By DAN GELSTON, AP Sports Writer(DOVER, Del.) -  Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray made it a 1-2 finish for Roush Racing.
And what a thrilling finish it was.
McMurray was the driver to beat, holding the lead for most of the final 90 laps Sunday until the patient Kenseth made his move, passing two drivers late before the leader was firmly in view.
Kenseth reached McMurray in lapped traffic, raced side-by-side, then dipped low on a clean pass off the fourth turn with three laps left and pulled away to win at Dover International Speedway.
"They were leaving me plenty of room to pass," Kenseth said. "I just caught him at the right time and was able to just barely squeeze in front."
Kevin Harvick finished third, followed by Jeff Burton and Kyle Busch. Jimmie Johnson maintained the points lead, finishing sixth after starting a season-worst 42nd.
