Harvick drove a great race and deserved a win. Congrats to him and his fans. 3. JJ Lehto posted: 04.04.2005 - 8:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yes, many of the had good cars, including Harvick. But (in my opinion at least) Rusty Wallace had the best. This became a race of survival. Congratulations to Kyle. 4.

Nemechek and Kyle Busch had contact coming out of turn 2, this cut down one of Busch's tires. Meanwhile, Nemechek lost control and Mears just pounded into him trying to avoid him. On the other side of the track, Busch spun because of the flat tire. 7.

Anonymous posted: 09.17.2007 - 2:06 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I noticed that about Rusty's car getting no damage. That is one stoutly built car. I wonder if Kurt uses that one, still. Rusty could have still finished better but nascar wouldn't give him the lucky dog because he was penalized a lap after he worked on the car during the red flag. I think that is sorry because I have since seen cars get laps back by lucky dog after being penalized. 20.

The 89 would have been in the 50th position. 30. Ryan M posted: 07.28.2018 - 4:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Only 21 cars didn't spend time in the garage, sheesh. 31.
