NASCAR NW: Bliss wins shortened race.










Superior fuel mileage got Mike Bliss out front late in Saturday night's Carquest Auto Parts 300 Nationwide Series race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Rain did the rest.

Three laps after Bliss took the lead from runner-up Brendan Gaughan on Lap 167, NASCAR red-flagged the race because of rain and made Bliss' win official by calling the event 30 laps short of its scheduled distance of 200 laps.

Bliss' only other win in the series also came at Charlotte in 2004.
