Kurt Busch was the car to beat but he was going down pit road when the
caution came out and he didn't make it in time and was sent to the back,
even after a wreck he was about to get a top 10 on the last lap before
he spun in the chicane and got 19th.

Exciting late lap duel between Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick. Harvick's
first road course win.

First career start for Marc Goossens.

Wasn't Boris Said in the 60?
Plus the Biffle and Busch chase hopes diminish even more as wrecks doom
both of them.

I am not a Robby Gordon fan, but I would have liked to have see him win!
But a 4th place was not bad for him and his team! Congrats to Kevin
Harvick!

I also heard that this was Sadlers last race for Yates. Happy to see it
was a good run!

What is going on with Kasey Kahne? One top 10, 8th at Loudon, in his
last 7 starts. He if falling like a rock! Ray going to fire him next???

"Wasn't Boris Said in the 60?"

Yes and no. It was a partnership with the #34 and #61/#92 teams (Front
Row Motorsports) because Mark Simo, co-owner of Said's team, is Brian
Simo's brother. It was basically a one-time only partnership, and that
is how FRM gets the No Fear decals sometimes.

And Kevin, as long as Kahne stays single and girls fawn over him, we
won't be seeing him going too far from the #9.

Yes, Boris Said raced a car carrying the points of the #61 Ford (owned
by Jeff Stec), but used the #60 like he had at Infineon, Daytona, and
Indy. Kevin Harvick wins in his 200th Nextel Cup start.

Jeff Burton finished 5th at Fontana and 7th at Las Vegas; other than
that, he finished no better than 25th in the first 6 races. Since then,
he has not finished worse than 15th.

happened to Mayfield!

Great race! Except the Harvick winning part. The whole Front Row
Motorsports team is the most confusing team in racing. I like them, and
I think it's neat that a team with little funding can be in NASCAR, but
they are hard to follow. They run the #34, #61, and #92, and they have
run all 3 manufacturers with these teams as well as seemingly switching
the manufacturers sporadically between the cars. They also seem to swap
drivers between the 3 teams at different times. As if that weren't odd
enough, they have the #60/#61 thing at Watkins Glen. I love Boris and
the team, but keep some continuity guys!

The FRM deal is a little spooky at first, but once you get it down, it's
easy to understand,

Basically the 92 began running in 2004 as a partnership between Bob
Jenkins (No, not from ESPN. I believe he owns a couple of Taco Bell
franchises and the Oak Glove company you see on the car sometimes) and
Jimmy Means. Jenkins became the sole of owner of the team in 2005, but I
think Means is still involved as far as helping the team getting set up
and so on. At the end of the year, they bought the old #34 Mach 1 Racing
team (used to be driven by Larry Gunselman) and that became part of
their opeartion. They bought the #61 PEAK team at Phoenix this season,
hence that's why the switch between the Fords and the Chevys. (Don't
know why they use Dodges sometimes). I have no clue why they brought out
the 92 for this race, as it was supposed to have closed after the PEAK
buyout, unless it was because they had some sort of contract with Johnny
Miller. At any rate, I hope this explains it all.

Said basically bought the 61's owner points for this race so he'd have
them to fall back on if qualifying was rained out, since he's been
burned by that here before.

Front Row is kinda setup like Braun Raching in the "Nationwide" series,
several buyouts and mergers all become 1 super-team.

Bill Elliott's last race for Everham Motorsports in a one-off filling in
for just fired Jeremy Mayfield in the #19 Dodge.
It was not a good run, Elliott spun off into the Inner Loop gravel trap
in route to finishing 27th.

Except FRM is not super.

So down below it should read that Boris was in the #60.

via the Lucky Dog to finish 9th.

This was Awesome Bill from Dawsonville's first road course race in three
years and his last at the Glen.

Busch North staple Dale Quarterley makes his only NEXTEL Cup qualifying
attempt but doesn't make the field.

Boris Said came across the finish line in sixth, but was penalized and
knocked back to 31st after he drove through the chicane on the final lap.

I remember this race... sort of. Apparently, there was a scheduling
conflict with The Cleveland Indians and the network that the race was
on. The Indians game aired from start to finish then after the game
ended, they went to the race, which had about 10 or 15 laps remaining.

Marc Goossens becomes the first Belgian man to race in a NASCAR cup
series race. Christine Beckers raced in the 1977 Firecracker 400, and
she was Belgian
