Great runs for Kimmel and Brad Baker. 8. Alex posted: 07.11.2011 - 11:43 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Brad Baker's only lead lap finish of his Nationwide career as of 2011. 9.

Not a good time at nashville for 5-time. 10. Foyt14 posted: 05.25.2013 - 9:59 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Jay Sauter had Jo Dee Messina on the car with a Curb recored deal. 11.

Here at Nashville, Harvick won the pole and finished...you guessed it...7th. 15.

Sean posted: 09.05.2016 - 8:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I believe it. Biffle was the first Roush development driver. Roush only hired veterans prior to that, even in the trucks (like Chuck Bown and Joe Ruttman). 17.

Dylan posted: 01.23.2017 - 2:46 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #15 - also, this win was Roush's 50th win in the Busch Series, and interestingly enough, Biffle's 20th and final Busch Series win and his 17th with Roush would come at Phoenix in April of 2009, and that win happened to be Roush's 100th Busch Series win. 20.

Ouch. 22. KyleBrown posted: 02.19.2020 - 5:27 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The 49 was a Chevrolet 23.
