There were a lot of underrated drives in this race -- Mike Bliss with an eleventh place finish for an underrated team, Sterling Marlin with his first top-ten in ages, Kyle Petty and Jeff Green hanging on at the end for top-fifteen's, Casey Mears coming back from dissapointment in qualifying and an amazing save after contact with Kurt Busch to finish sixth, Michael Waltrip cutting down a tire at halfway and fighting his way back to sixteenth, but it was also tainted by some rough driving by the likes of Kurt Busch, ramming Scott Riggs into the wall, Greg Biffle, banging people down the frontstretch, and Jeff Gordon, banging into Biffle and Schrader on pit road and then nearly wrecking half the field by getting into Mike Bliss. Jimmie Johnson was taken to the hospital after the race with what I assume was a concussion. 3.

I was there, and like Chicago mentioned earlier, it was good to see a lot of "worse than average" teams perform. Waltrip had the fastest car from lap 70 on, and at one point was running half a second faster than anyone else. Great to see Smoke win! He did his burnout right in front of us, and the crowd started chanting "Tony! Tony!" It was by-far the best race I've ever been to! 10.

The Memorial Day weekend running of the former Indy 500, now Target 500 at Indianapolis? Why not? We now have the Nextel Cup which replaced the Winston Cup. 14. tommy posted: 01.07.2007 - 8:11 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, another example of the lack of tradition left in NASCAR. But what do you expect from a series that's more worried about fans showing up(Texas, California) than good racing(Darlington, Rockingham)? 15. biffle16 posted: 04.02.2007 - 9:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Steve, that is the most brilliant thing I've ever heard you say!!! 16.

Hamiliton, at the time the reigning Truck Series champion, finished 27th after starting 35th. It was the first of three starts for the late Hamiliton in 2005, his last year on the tour. 18. most posted: 03.14.2008 - 9:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) No, the Target 500 presented by Reeses at the Amoco Speedway, lol! Don't forget the Hanes starting line-up with rows 1-3 presented by Coke, rows 4-9 presented by John Deere and rows 10-22 presented by Auto Zone. And rounding out the field taking the Prestone Dominos Pizza past champions provisional presented by Midas, Richard Petty!!!! 19.

Probably the most humble I've seen Stewart in a winner's interview, soaking up the win as only he could. But I saw a change in Stewart's style and manner over the 2004 and 2005 seasons. He moved back home to Indiana and loosened up his style a bit. Certainly Tony Stewart has plenty of chances to win the Daytona 500 but if he cannot do so, this will go down as his greatest victory, along with the one that won him the title in 2011. 24.

This completed his turn-a-round from unlikeable jerk to a respected Icon of the sport, and made me a fan. His celebration was one for the ages. From the Middle of June 2005 to this race, he absolutely dominated Nascar. He had a bad wreck at Chicago but if he would have never wrecked and been himself he would have won that race. He deserved that title in 2005, one of the better all around seasons for Nascar. Good drivers winning and many different winners. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch only won 6 times out of 34, that's a major accomplishment compared to now-adays. 26.

He'd run it at Homestead(I know), Atlanta, Darlington, and Pocono. Sources:Jayski.com 27.

Chad Knaus sprinted from his box onto pit road to help his driver out of the car. JJ then gave a glossy-eyed, concussed interview in which he said he didn't even remember hitting the wall or driving onto pit road. 34.
