Crazy race. Fair enough to stay.

Misprint. Derrike Cope did qualify for this race.

Derrike Cope apparently did not qualify for this race and Jimmy Kitchens
did (42nd according to Nascar.com) although he did not post a qualifying
time.

It's possible that Cope bought his way into the race, in Kitchens' slot;
Cope did start 42nd.

After 5 Busch Series wins in 2004, Greg Biffle gets his only win of 2005
at Phoenix after spinning early.

Greg Biffle spins out and still leads over half the race.... now that's
domination.

Yeah, Biffle did the "spin and win", like Denny Hamlin did at Pocono
this year (though that was a blown tire). Elliott Sadler scored the best
finish for Robert Yates' Busch team (2nd).

Jimmy Kitchens was initially in the #28 car which was locked in to the
field. Cope's #94 entry was a third Jay Robinson Racing car and when
Cope missed the field he took over the #28 from Kitchens.

NASCAR records have Cope in the #28 rather than the #94 for the race.
Owner Jay Robinson had three cars attempt to qualify for the race and
elected to bump Kitchens for Cope when the latter didn't qualify.

Driver change

#28 was "qualified" by Jimmy Kitchens (never put up a time), as previous
comments mentioned

Currently holds the record for the most cautions in a 200 mile XFinity
Series race. The 2007 Memphis race, at 10 miles shorter than this race,
had 11 more cautions to hold the all-time NASCAR record for cautions.

6 crew chief - Ray Evernham

They seemed to tiptoe around the details of what happened, but Elton
Sawyer's brief stint as a crew chief in between his driving career and
his series officiating career came to an end before this race. Nothing
quite like having the boss himself calling the shots for you, especially
since he very rarely retook that role after leaving Hendrick (though I
would swear I remember him occasionally taking that job back up for Erin
Crocker a time or two).

Kahne certainly lived up to the heightened expectations of the booth
early on in this one, prior to some pit crew miscues dropping him back
into the hornets' nest that was the middle of the field on a night where
track position was king over all else. From there, a choppy race flow
and a run-in with Michel Jourdain's battered car - I would call it a
modified but mods have more fenders than what Jourdain was rolling
around with - doomed his chances of delivering his
crew-chief-turned-car-owner-turned-back-crew-chief-for-the-night a victory.

The usual jokes about a wild race on a full moon Friday night went too
far when Jeff Hammond started howling at the moon during one of the red
flags. Wish I was kidding!

Last point: the roof number on Jerry Robertson's Furniture Row car was
flipped the opposite direction, pointed towards the outside of the track
instead of the inside. Oops.
