As pointed out to me earlier in the day, many missed the first 'major' race at Kentucky Speedway due to traffic hazards on Interstate 71. My father and I avoided the logjams by turning just before the I-71 interchange. We went across a bridge over I-71 that led to a home, where we eventually parked. A long but uncomplicated walk allowed us time to get to our seats and take in the big race.
Bryan Refner took the pole and led early. A 21 year old young gun from Las Vegas, Kurt Busch, was still looking for his first win. He was fast in practice and took the lead in the race on lap 95. He led the next 12 laps but wrecked hard into the wall on lap 112 and finished 29th. I didn't know that Kurt and his brother Kyle would go on to take NASCAR by storm. The Busch brother bring their talents in July.
Greg Biffle, Kurt's teammate, went on to win the race by over two seconds over Jack Sprague.
Thanks to Racing-refence.com for the statistics.
