The NASCAR Busch Series returned to Richmond for the Circuit City 250 on Friday night. Kevin Harvick had won the last three Busch Series races in a row and he was looking to extend the streak. Can Kyle Busch finish the race? Virginia native Denny Hamlin won the pole.
Denny Hamlin's #20 Z-Line Designs/Circuit City Chevy leads at the start. Sam Hornish Jr.'s #12 Mobil 1 Dodge hits the wall and brings out a caution on lap 16. Jeff Burton's #29 Holiday Inn Chevy takes the lead on lap 21. On lap 25, Denny Hamlin makes contact with Matt Kenseth's #17 Dish Network Ford and crashes into the inside wall. It looked like Hamlin drifted up the track into Kenseth. During the caution, Kevin Lepage's #52 Ford catches fire. Burton continues to lead.
Clint Bowyer's #2 BB&T Chevy takes the lead on lap 75. Justin Diercks' #70 Foretravel Chevy crashes to bring out a caution on lap 85. Everyone pits and Burton still leads. Dange Hanniford's #56 SMARTBOX Chevy hits the wall on lap 136. Everyone pits and Burton still leads. Matt Kenseth takes the lead on lap 166 and pulls away from the pack. It looks like he has the win in the bag if the race goes green.
On lap 223, JJ Yeley's #1 Miccosukee Gaming Chevy bumps Derrike Cope's #28 Checkers Restaurants Chevy and Cope hits the wall to bring out a caution. This is not what Kenseth wanted to see. Most of the leaders pit. Kenseth has trouble with the right front tire on his pit stop. Bowyer's stop goes smoothly and he gets out first. Carl Edwards' #60 Scott's Miracle Gro Ford stayed out to take the lead. But his older tires were no match for fresh tires and he would finish 13th. Bowyer took the lead and won easily. And here's a video of the final pit stops. The Busch Series is in Darlington next Friday.
