Apparently whenever the series Winston Cup visits a short oval, the controversy and the excitation arrive at unsuspected limits.
The Chevy Rock & Roll 400 had to be interrupted in 14 occasions with a great variety of I touch, confusions, accidents and until blows of fist in the zone of pits.
All this did not prevent more and more that Ryan Newman was raised with the sixth victory of the season, affirming like the most winning pilot of the year. Newman managed to contain to Jeremy Mayfield on the end, although its rival more duro I turn out to be the Chevrolet Montecar it of Kevin Harvick.
“After seeing the race of the Busch series the previous night, I occurred an idea than it was going to happen”, said Ryan. “It was a race with many incidents, but luckily I stayed besides all, and as much front my paragolpe as back, they finished impeccable…”, explained the pilot of Dodge.
Newman, with six victories, is the unique pilot of the Dodge mark in to have added triumphs, in addition it makes possible to him to the third American mark to only approach a victory of the triumphs of Ford (7), with its Taurus model.
But it has of the undisputed triumph of Newman, the axis of the race turned out to be the incident between the young person Kevin Harvick and the veteran Ricky Rudd. Harvick stayed second behind Newman in turn 394, nevertheless struck it to Rudd deliberately from back sending it against the wall.
This action of Rudd caused a new yellow flag. The pilot of Ford entered to pits and seconds later Harvick did completely infuriated. Kevin crossed its car in front of the Rudd and it recriminated to him hard insulting it and until trying to strike it, while the mechanics of both equipment interceded to calm the spirits, whereas others tried to imitate the action of Harvick.
“Rudd struck”, said Harvick to me deliberately. “It gave a clear intentional blow me to remove to me from track, and I guarantee to him that in the first opportunity that it has I am going it to give back”, Kevin threatened.
On the other hand Rudd did not recognize its error, and in addition I make fun of ironically of Harvick. “This that happened is completely ridiculous”, said Ricky. “Surely he had some problem because he restrained where he did not have to do it”, adding, “Kevin has a language very badly spoken, or perhaps I have interpreted badly from inside of the cabin…”
The incident between Harvick and Rudd was not the unique one, Robby Gordon and Jeff Burton was touched, but in this Burton case it recognized to have mistaken with Gordon.
“The incident is 100% my fault”, admitted Jeff. “Robby did not make anything bad. It strikes unfortunately it and I become person in charge of that.”
Jeremy Mayfield, with another Dodge, was classified second whereas it did it to Rudd in third party in spite of the incident with Harvick. The winner of the past weekend, Terry Labonte, did a good race finishing 8º.
The leader of the contest, the North American Matt Kenseth, culminated 7º more adding 146 points for the championship. Kenseth returned to be distanced of Earnhardt Jr and with the 450 points of advantage that it owns, already almost it takes two races of advantages when still they reduce ten competitions more.
