Jon Wood took advantage of Dennis Setzer's mistake and rolled away to
win at his homestate. Dennis Setzer, who led the most laps, decided to
take only 2 tires on his final pit stop. Wood worked the back of Setzer
for nearly 50 laps before finally getting past him. That left Wood to
hold off teammate Carl Edwards for the win...which he easily handled.

Notes:

Edwards' pole was his first career.

Wood had just announced they had lost Graham for President as sponsor.
The car went into the race without details.

Matt Carter made his NASCAR debut. The son of Travis Carter finished 17th.

Matt McCall also made his debut. He finished 21st.

1-2 sweep foir ROush. Great run for D.W. A lot of good runs for seasoned
veterans. Good run for Tracy Hines.

Bob Graham dropped out of the race for the Democratic Party nomination
(eventually won by John Kerry) earilier in the week.

It seems ironic, Wood's first win was the first race with Graham and his
other win was the last race with them as the listed sponsor

To date I think Graham is the only Presidential candiate to be a NASCAR
sponsor as part of their campaign.

Not true. Kirk Shelmerdine ran some races in '04 with "Vote For Bush" as
the sponsorship, but since he was one of the start-and-park drivers that
year, I'm not sure that really counts...

Jon Wood's winning ride was indeed blank and unsponsored. He managed to
score the win after working past the wrecked truck of Andy Petree, who
crashed in turn 4 after the leaders took the white flag.

Wayne Edwards originally did not time into the show, but he took over
the #31 ride in place of a relatively unknown and little-heralded driver
named Dallas Norman. Norman was a regular at Hickory and made just one
lone attempt at going NASCAR racing, only to have his ride pulled out
from under him.

Dallas Norman home - Troutman, NC
