Kyle Busch on pole,Jeff Burton second andDale Earnhardt Jr third.Race Recap
The race was one of the most memorable in recent memory at MIS. In a mixture of luck, fuel economy and strategy, Earnhardt scored his first win in 76 points races thanks to a late caution due to
Sam Hornish, Jr. 's late-race crash, and agreen-white-checker finish withPatrick Carpentier andMichael Waltrip crashing near the start/finish line to end the race. Instead of completing a victory lap, or doing the traditional burnout, Earnhardt coasted on to pit road where he ran out of fuel.Failed to make race as qualifying was cancelled due to rain:
Jason Leffler (#70),Tony Raines (#34)."NOTE:
Kenny Wallace and the #87 Denver Mattress car, and the #08 car, without a driver, were both withdrawn earlier in the week."
