Brake trouble slows Kenseth

Oily leakage created the fourth caution of the race in Richmond.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Matt Kenseth was running in the top five less than 80 laps into Saturday night's race when he had brake trouble and headed for the garage.
The problem to Kenseth's Roush Racing Ford caused the fourth caution of the race, and a 12-lap slowdown as crews circled the track trying to soak up the oily leakage.
Kenseth's crew, meantime, discovered that his oil tank had broken, meaning a lengthy repair job and a night spent hoping to minimize the points damage. The former series champion came into the race second in points, 21 behind Jimmie Johnson.
And Kenseth wasn't the only contender with early trouble.
Kasey Kahne, the defending race champion, had to pit under green early in the race and was five laps down, in spite of five cautions, before the race was 100 laps old.
Kahne arrived at Richmond fourth in points and started sixth.
Also in trouble was Dale Jarrett, who arrived 10th in points and qualified 26th, but was sent to the back of the field after his crew did work on his car after it was to have been impounded. NASCAR said more penalties will be forthcoming this week.
After 100 laps, Jarrett had worked his way up to 20th position.
The race was not completed in time for today's edition.
For the kids
The Teutul family -- Paul Sr., Paul Jr. and Mikey -- of the wildly popular television program "American Chopper" came to the track Saturday to present Kyle Petty with a custom made motorcycle to be raffled off this summer.
The proceeds of the raffle will benefit the Victory Junction Gang Camp, founded by Kyle Petty and his wife, Patty, to serve chronically ill children and their families.
Kyle Petty, an avid motorcycling enthusiast who organizes a cross-country charity ride each summer, said he has been "blown away" by the support the camp has received from NASCAR drivers, fans and corporate sponsors since before it opened in 2000.
As part of the project, the Teutuls visited the camp in North Carolina, spent time with some of the children attending and came away impressed by its impact on kids.
"To really make a difference in somebody's life, you have to be there and be a part of it," said Paul Sr., who is often seen in fits of anger on the program.
Paul Sr. took the bike for a spin around the track after unloading it for display, and Richard Petty was asked if he'd like to do the same on the one-of-a-kind ride.
"No sir, buddy," he said. "[Maybe] if it had training wheels."
The motorcycle also will be displayed during Kyle Petty's 12th annual charity ride, which will begin in Idaho on July 22 and end at the camp in Randleman on July 30.
It will be given to the raffle winner later this summer.
Supporting Sam
NASCAR president Mike Helton auctioned off a 2006 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Low on Saturday to benefit former NASCAR Busch Series champion Sam Ard.
Ard was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last May. Ard's wife, Jo, was also diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease that could cause her to go blind.
The motorcycle sold for $8,000, with all proceeds going to Ard's family.
Ard was the 1983-84 Busch champion and a two-time winner at Richmond.
The race track also is holding a silent auction to benefit the family.
