Congrats Jeff Burton!!

Nice to see Jeff Burton win the Busch race today. I was afraid we might have to see one of the Busch Alien brothers in Victory Lane at Dover. Blah!

Kenseth's day started off bad with a bad plug wire or disconnected plug wire and he never could get back on the lead lap. With all the wrecks however, he still ended up with a 26th place finish.
I'm sure this had an impact on Matt's Busch team today...
Traffic accident kills Roush crewman
Roush Racing crewman Michael Fermaglich was killed Friday night in an automobile accident in Concord, N.C., the team reported Saturday.

Fermaglich, 32, was a fabricator for Roush Racing in Mooresville, N.C., and served as pit boss for Matt Kenseth's No. 17 Busch Series team. He had been with Roush for two years.

"This is obviously a sad day for Roush Racing," said Kenseth's crew chief, Jimmy Fennig. "Mike was a hard worker and a valuable part of our team both at home and on the road. He will be greatly missed at Roush Racing and on this 17 team.

"We still have to race today because that's who we are and what we do, but our thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family."

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police told The Charlotte Observer that Fermaglich died when his truck collided with another truck. Police told the newspaper that Fermaglich's truck crossed the double-yellow line and rain might have been a factor.
