There were reports this week that most of the NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers running the 2006 Busch Series full time will stop doing that next year. That would probably be a good thing as the Buschwackers have made this season's Busch Series very predictable. Saturday's Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis was another good example. Denny Hamlin won the pole.
As already noted, it's very tough to pass at ORP. Denny Hamlin-#20 Rockwell Automation Chevy led early. Clint Bowyer-#2 AC Delco Chevy was running second when Ron Hornaday-#33 Outdoor Channel Chevy spun him into the inside wall. Bowyer finished 4oth.
Hamlin stayed out while everyone pitted but that strategy didn't work out for him. Kevin Harvick-#21 Coast Guard Chevy passed him for the lead on lap 84 and Hamlin was never able to get back to the front and finished 8th. Harvick extended his lead over Reed Sorenson-#41 Discount Tire Dodge and won the race. Another Buschwacker wins and Harvick leads the points too.
