Robby Gordon comes in 6th & an “Altercation” after the race.
08/18/2003
Jimmy Spencer and Kurt Busch had it out in the garage area yesterday after the race ended. There are lots of rumors and opinions flying around but nothing official released. What I can figure out: The drivers were bumping each other on the way to the garage. Kurt ran out of fuel in front of Jimmy’s hauler and rumor has it Jimmy smacked Kurt when he was still in the car. The Police are investigating, cars were pulled off the haulers for photos and the drivers are not talking. Robby offers to pay Jimmy's fines saying "he had it comming for a long time."
The finish order: Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Steve Park, Robby Gordon, Michael Waltrip, Ken Schrader, Matt Kenseth and Johnny Benson. From an unusual start to an unexpected finish. Tempers were flaring all day. On lap 64, a caution was thrown for a hard wreck between Todd Bodine and Kenny Wallace. Todd’s car ended up on top of Kenny’s. Both drivers are fine and the new fire suppression system didn’t seem to work. Lap 79 Rusty Wallace ran into Dale Jr. when Rusty decided last second not to pit. Jr. ended up with the most damage and just lapped the track for points the rest of the race he finished 32nd. Lap 106 Rusty’s car catches fire.
Robby stays in the top 10 in points at the end of the day.
