The Busch Series continues to serve as a several-hundred-mile test
session for Roush Racing (7 drivers out of a 43 car field).

This was a generally successful test, resulting in a victory despite a
couple of blown engines - though even those can be useful: determining
which engine 'experiments' succeed and which ones fail can provide
helpful information for the engine builders at the Cup level.

We went like 100 laps without a caution then we got like 8 of them after
that lmao. Casey Mears almost won his first Busch Series race but the
engine didn't pick up fuel on the final restart and he ended up 4th.
Good run for Kurt, 3/3 in top 5s. :)

Todd Kluever best finishing Busch regular. Two hard crashes in the first
10 laps, Stewart's wreck setup for him breaking his shoulder blade in
the 600.

First career top-10 for Regan Smith. Maybe he should have run with
Powerade sponsorship for the remainder of 2006 and he would have had
more great results.....

Fantastic race overall but filled with adversity.

Jamie McMurray's team suspected problems with RF tire after qualifying
but performed only brief check for start from the back was not
considered an option. Well, on L2 this very RF tire blew up and Jamie
smashed the wall.

The following crash of Tony Stewart was scary to watch. Track bar
failure exiting T4 sends Smoke into the wall, and his car went along for
300-400 feet, sputtering debris all around. Tony was visibly shaken, his
shoulder was hurt, but ultimately he was cleared to drive in Coca-Cola
600. Was astounded with the reaction of two fans who rushed to the
fence, pointing fists and yelling to Smoke. What a bunch of dumbasses!

During one of the cautions Denny Hamlin went to the pits to change
battery, Routine procedure took almost two laps, a crew member was not
able to attach cords properly, maybe even swapping polarity, causing a
short circuit. Luckily Denny as able to continue.

On L133 Kenseth dropped a cylinder. He was going to visit pit lane but
for some reason decided not to do it. The result was him blowing up and
causing another caution. Didn't understand what he was doing.

Brad Parrott made this race much more interesting and it looked like his
call was going to pay off, since Casey Mears was going to make it on
fuel. But on the last restart he had problems with fuel pickup and lost
two positions, eventually giving the win to Edwards. I suppose Carl
would've passed Casey anyway, but still, who knows...

Mark Green spotted for his brother, David, in this race. He was released
from driving the No. 4 GEICO Dodge for the Biagi Brothers following the
previous race.

Jamie Mac checks out to a full second lead during the single lap that he
completes. He then pops a RF tire and is sent to the hospital with a
concussion on lap 2. Perfectly encapsulates his career.
