Man, this was a competitive race. There where a ton of lead changes.
Congrats to Dennis Setzer on getting his 1st victory of 2005.

The ending of this race didn't make any sense. Musgrave's engine
grenaded, spilt oil all over the backstretch -- Harvick got an entire
windshield of it ... and they keep the cars going at full speed til they
display the white flag and the caution and end the race? I was really
surprised there wasn't a wreck on the backstretch.

The coverage was horrendous. Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds, at
times, came across as inept; Rick Allen couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Whatever happened to Johnny Benson? Ken Schrader went a lap down in that
green Tundra. What happened to him?

Nevertheless, Setzer was really fast at the end. I think he would've won
even had their been a green / white / checkered finish.

I heard in a post-race interview that Johnny Benson slowed down because
he thought that the caution came out earlier than it actually did when
Musgrave's engine blew. As for Ken Schrader, you're right, Speed Channel
didn't really say what happened to him.

The last crash of the race (Park, Hornaday, and Bobby) was real nasty.
Five or six years ago, that would've been a real bad deal.

I remember being in the pits for this race and the confusion at the end
when some teams thought the caution was out and some people being upset
when the race ultimately ended under caution. It was a shame that NASCAR
waited to make a call like that to throw the yellow AFTER the trucks
took the white flag. Dennis Setzer had a great piece, but the way the
draft is at Michigan someone else might have slipped by. Still a great
race, bad finish, and a large crowd.

Yeah, that was a bad last crash. Hornaday got loose, hooked Steve Park
and Steve slammed into the outside wall, driver's side. Then, Bobby
Labonte had no where to go and slammed into Steve's truck, driver's
side. Everyone was okay.

Chad Chaffin turns in one of his better runs with Germain Racing with a
solid 7th-place effort...and promptly gets fired. It was obviously the
right call to put Todd Bodine in that truck (they became one of the most
dominant teams over the next few years), but I always thought it was odd
that Chad got the boot after this particular race. I guess with the #66
team shutting down and Todd being out of a ride, it made sense, but
still...

Steve Park wrecked huge - no surprise there. Only difference is this
time it wasn't his fault

Also, this race was the beginning of the end for Ricky Craven in NASCAR
