The pilot of Dodge completed last the 106 returns of race without pausing in pits, undisputedly to remain with his seventh triumph of the year becoming the most winning pilot of the year.
The question of the million is, How made Newman to recover two lost returns and to gain the test? , partly Ryan was beneficiary with a new disposition from NASCAR that gives back a turn to him to the pilot faster than it is not in the return of the leader. And in addition a yellow flag to 12 turns to the end caused that Newman conserved fuel and reached the goal.
Although this controversial new rule of NASCAR benefitted to Newman, this he is one of the main opponents to the same.
“I do not like to see as a pilot recovers a turn without really doing it…”, Ryan said. “Once I recovered the turn everything was strategy question”, ended up saying Ryan. This is the first time in the NASCAR history that a competing one gains a test benefitted by this rule.
Newman recovered the other lost return in turn 328. Then, with tires already very worn away, it heroically contained the pressure imposed by Jeremy Mayfield, with another Dodge Intrepid. In fact Mayfield tried in a pair of occasions to move to Newman, but finally it did not obtain it.
“It made a race very clean”, thought Newman de Mayfield. “I feel that I used everything what had in my car and tried not to block to Jeremy (Mayfield). Everything left extraordinary east weekend, except for the breakage of the tire.”
Mayfield secured its better result of the year, just when the rumors on their replacement in the equipment are more and more strong. “The motor worked very well throughout all the day”, adding, “Without doubts is the best car than I lead during this year.”
About its possible replacement, Mayfield said. “One listens to many rumors and if one quick attention to them becomes crazy… I only want to concentrate myself and to run of the best possible way.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr was protagonist of a ferocious accident in the last turns of the race with its Chevrolet Montecar it. The accident was so strong that Junior had to be transferred urgently in helicopter towards the nearest hospital. Its general state is good, although reserved at the moment.
Lamentably, this accident can mean the aim of the aspirations to the title for Junior, that nowadays are lost important points.
