The Busch race will be live on NASN 1 and there's a live stream on nascar.com. Unfortunaly it's a night race.

Hazza · 26 May 2007, 09:18 (Ref:1921422)

Yay! Don't have to get up too early.

Jacko44 · 26 May 2007, 13:45 (Ref:1921585)

One of very few races that are at a decent time for us aussies.

Got up, watched Busch spin...Dozed off.

Good run by Sugar Kahne

Knowlesy · 27 May 2007, 10:49 (Ref:1921989)

Yep, a nice run for Casey Mears too. And Jimmie Johnson got sixth despite a couple of misdemeanours.

**FIRE** · 27 May 2007, 10:56 (Ref:1921994)

First Dodge victory of the season (besides Montoya's road course victory).

I saw Montoya's car was damaged on the right. Did he hit the wall?

Knowlesy · 27 May 2007, 11:32 (Ref:1922015)

I have no idea what happened there. We saw him damaged and pull in and that was it.

He probably hit the wall I imagine, but the focus was on Kurt Busch's spin at that time.

Good run by Regan Smith finishing 5th. Years down the road he will have proven to been the best driver in this year's group of rookies. The kid "listens" and keeps learning.

Jacko44 · 27 May 2007, 14:12 (Ref:1922128)

Top-20 not bad for Marcos... Beat alot of cup drivers includin Biffle, Ragan, Labonte and Hamlin with a much less profile team in the busch series.

Jacko44 · 27 May 2007, 14:24 (Ref:1922139)

... Also did anyone else see how many hat changes Kasey Kahne had to make for the post-race photos?? Gotta keep every single sponsor happy..

We went from the Juan "overexposure" to the "does any body know what happened to Juan?"

I still don't know and am searching around for the info.

he was doing good then he was "off" - that's all I know.

According autosport.com:

Quote:

Juan Pablo Montoya made contact with the wall on lap 149, hitting it out of turn 2 while running high in the banking. The Colombian had recovered from 37th on the grid all the way up to 15th, despite losing a lap early on.

"It was really bad to start with but I got the lucky dog," Montoya said. "The last few runs I'd been running clean air and got into really dirty air. I had been running on the top all day and for some reason I just went in the gas and I thought it was fine out of the corner, just clipped the wall.

"I came back and the left front was flat. That is a little weird because I hit on the right-side only."

Quote:

Australian Marcos Ambrose was the top rookie of the night finishing 20th and being one of the few first-year drivers not to hit the wall during the night.

"The most important thing is to stop crashing," Ambrose said. "We've had a lot of crashed cars in our team over the five different races across the three series. Not that it's self-induced on our part but we've just got to play our part here and finish some races with a straight car and develop them and that's what we did tonight."
