NASCAR debut for Road Racer Mad Max Papis. Butch Leitzinger returns to
the Busch Series.

Also, I met Regan Smith two days before this race was run. Cool guy!

Awesome battle between Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch!! WOO GO KURT! and
why is Robby listed in the #55? He drove the 7.

Good run for John Andretti. Boris Said was the highest finishing hired
road course ace.

I don't think that kind of driving is dirty when both drivers can laugh
about it after getting out of their cars, and they aren't mad at each
other. John Andretti's first career Top 5 in BGN racing. Harvick extends
his eternal point lead.

Does anyone know why Robby Gordon is listed in the 55, when he
obiviously drove the 7?

The only thing I can figure is that since Robby drove the #55 Fruit of
the Loom car a few years ago, NASCAR scores him as the #55 on the entry
blank because that is the number he has registered with NASCAR, but he
uses the #7 as either a gimmick number for Harrah's (lucky 7 at a
casino), or simply for familiarity as he runs #7 in the Cup series. I
say this because it says he has #55 on the results page on NASCAR.COM.

Andretti took over the ROTY points lead after this race. I wonder if the
people who were laughing at him when he declared for the award are
eating crow now (thought it ain't over yet). Either way, it's impressive
as ppc has been on a shoestring this year.

Not Sure if it will be seen or not, but #49 DNQ was sponsored by John
Finger Mazda.com and was a Taurus.

That move Robby made...I do the same thing in video games, but to see
someone do it in real life was cool. What a bonzai move, driving full
speed into the inner loop, door slamming Kurt and nearly wrecking both
cars. That's called driving with reckless abandon, if I've ever seen it

During PJ Jones' interview, he mentions that his surprisingly fast #0
was owned by Jeff Spraker.
Future Truck crew chief Eddie Troconis fails to make the show in his
only Busch series attempt, though his home country of Mexico was
well-represented by Michel Jourdain, Carlos Contreras and Adrian
Fernandez anyway.
Jourdain was able to lead a few laps by playing the off-strategy to the
frontrunners, but broke late and finished 39th. At least his PPC
teammate, John Andretti, was finally able to put his first Busch top
five on the board after running a strong race of his own. It was a rough
season for series rookie Andretti, whose up-and-down year was much more
in line with that of a traditional rookie rather than a "rookie" who had
over 300 Cup starts (and two wins!) to his credit. However, he was
definitely an upgrade over the occupants of his car the year prior, the
aforementioned Jourdain and Brent Sherman.
