I know this race happened Saturday night but I think it still should be discussed.
The Nextel open, where a drive can still make the big race. The winner was Brian Vickers. Although, somewhat contriversial win. Vickers spinning out race leader Mike Bliss just coming around the dog leg at the start finish line. Causing Bliss to cross the finish line sideways. Made for an exciting finish nonetheless.
The driver that the fans votes in was Martin Truex Jr. The driver of the Dale Earnhardt Jr owned team of Bass Pro Shops #8 Busch Team.
Now the field is set with 24 cars. 24 of Nascar's best drivers. All winners and past winners of this race.
Just before the end of the first segment a 9 car pile up sending a lot of good cars to the garage for repairs.
All in all it was a good race, with Mark Martin, the #6 Viagra car winner a cool million dollars in a winner take all type of race.
Next week they are at the same track in Charolotte NC for the Coca Cola 600
Go Jr Go #8
