Then Michael spun Green back around later on in the race after they had had run-in's several times previous. Michael was held for a lap (why not Green for the first incident?), and both drivers were called to the hauler after the race to talk with NASCAR officials. Ryan Newman brake-checked the field on the final restart; Schrader didn't "spin the tires". It's too bad the FOX broadcast crew seemed to not even be watching the same race that we were all night long. 5. newman posted: 05.08.2005 - 10:12 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) pretty smart/stupid move on newmans part stacking up the field 6.

Congrats to, Biffle, Martin, Jr, and Edwards. 7.

The Drive for Five is going quite well. 8. Chicago posted: 05.12.2005 - 12:50 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Jeff Burton had a loose wheel while running sixth late in the going. 9. Jake posted: 05.14.2005 - 4:10 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yeah that was a shame for Burton, also for Kyle Busch. Kyle ran in the top 5 for the majority of the race, but a cut tire relegated him to 23rd. 10.

And he did!!! :) 17. Darrell posted: 05.19.2007 - 2:22 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Um, what significance could Biffle's win hold for a bridge tragedy in Florida? 18.

Evan posted: 10.19.2012 - 9:49 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I was sick as a dog during this race and I just went to bed a few 100 laps in, but I knew Biffle dominated when I realized nobody had anything for him. * What I do know is Kyle Petty ran a pink Mother's Day car with a young Kyle Petty on the side of the car. * Carl Edwards ran a small business on the quarterpanel in this race, as part of a sweepstakes to have the winning small business on the rear quarterpanels. * The Green-Waltrip fued where they got into a serious of on-track skirmishes, this was one of those. 20.

Matt Yocum, Steve Byrnes and Dr. Dick Berggren were the pit road reporters. Chris Myers and Jeff Hammond were in the Hollywood hotel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
