Looked like it was going to be the first time in a while that a non-Cup
driver was going to win this year, but Edwards snookered it away again.

Also, Jason Leffler didn't even start the race because something broke
on his car during the pace laps. Carl Long didn't start the race till a
few laps in, then a radiator broke.

Note to Webmaster:

Correction to cautions rundown:
L36-39: #1, #9 crash T4

Actually, Cale Gale's car wiggled and he punted Boris Said who, in his
turn, lost control and went into the wall.

This was the first Busch Series race of the 2006 season where the
Cup/Busch schedules conflicted, as the Cup Series was racing at Pocono
Raceway while the Busch Series was in Nashville. (The Busch races in
Mexico City and the April race in Nashville took place during
off-weekends for the Cup Series.) As a result, seven teams had
substitute drivers on-hand in order to accommodate the Cup drivers who
were pulling double-duty on this race weekend. None of those seven
drivers participated in the qualifying session or the race itself, but
they did practice the cars while the regular Cup drivers were busy at
Pocono. Here were the seven substitute drivers:

#2 - Brandon Miller (sub for Clint Bowyer)
#5 - Justin Labonte (sub for Kyle Busch)
#18 - Casey Atwood (sub for J.J. Yeley)
#20 - Kertus Davis (sub for Denny Hamlin)
#21 - Randy LaJoie (sub for Kevin Harvick)
#41 - Kevin Hamlin (sub for Reed Sorenson)
#60 - Hank Parker, Jr. (sub for Carl Edwards)

Those seven Cup drivers were each competing full-time in both the Busch
Series and the Nextel Cup Series during the 2006 season (although Kyle
Busch and Sorenson skipped one Busch race apiece due to schedule
conflicts). It should be noted that Greg Biffle was also pulling
double-duty between Nashville and Pocono, but as far as I know the No.
66 team did not have a substitute driver on hand in Nashville.

In his victory lane interview, Carl Edwards gave a lot of credit to Hank
Parker, Jr. for practicing his car and helping the team get the setup
just right. He said that the car was "perfect" and called Parker "one of
the most underrated drivers there is", and that the team should just
hire him to drive the Busch car full-time. Sadly, Parker never made
another NASCAR start, and left the sport altogether by the end of the
season.
