Jeff Fultz crashes out early in his final ASA start of the year. His #30
Jani-King Chevrolet team shut down after this race. Fultz would make
only one further start in the series.

Jimmie Johnson got caught cheating. Seriously!

Johnson tested at this track on Thursday in order to prepare for his
first trip to I-70. ASA Rules state you can't test at a track less then
a week before racing at it and Johnson and his team tested at I-70 the
Thursday of race week. The punishment for Jimmie was being forced out of
Day 1 qualifying. Jimmie was fastest on day 2 and started 11th. The race
was itself marred by a big crash on lap 96 that saw Gus Wasson's car
erupt into flames.

Adam Petty and Jimmie Johnson 1-2 finish pretty cool.

First caution - laps 22-28 - 07 accident turn 4
Second caution - laps 40-49 - 07, 58 accident turn 3
Third caution - laps 51-54 - 68 stalled turn 4
Fourth caution - laps 59-64 - 80 spun frontstretch
Fifth caution - laps 71-75 - 18 spun turn 4
Sixth caution - laps 96-104 - 30, 31, 58, 68, 80 accident frontstretch
Seventh caution - laps 116-121 - 68 stalled turn 2 (rough debut for
Gittemeier, who parked it shortly after his involvement in a 3rd
incident due to fatigue)
Eighth caution - laps 169-174 - 6, 8, 23 accident frontstretch; 7, 44,
80 accident turns 1/2/backstretch (the 7 & 80 crashed trying to get to
pit road just after being involved in the accident on the frontstretch)
Ninth caution - laps 183-194 - 1, 5, 8, 18, 21, 84 accident frontstretch
Tenth caution - laps 224-230 - 32 stalled turn 2
Eleventh caution - laps 258-267 - 40 accident frontstretch
Twelfth caution - laps 274-280 - 64 accident frontstretch

Jeff Fultz drove relief in the 32 and Billy Turner in the 93 after a
pair of driver changes during the ninth caution. Lots of drivers were
complaining of overheating in the car, as the 95 degree start time
temperature took its toll on both drivers and cars. The combination of
heat, a slew of rookies, and a very tricky I-70 track led to a few big
crashes and only 11 cars finishing the race. You could count on one hand
the number of drivers that weren't involved in some kind of dustup
during the race, and nearly everyone had some kind of damage on their car.

The commentators for the race were Dave Burns and Jim Tretow. The pit
road reporter was Chad Myers.
