A Single Race Remaining

The penultimate race of the NASCAR season, the Ford 300 at Homestead Speedway, saw Kevin Harvick win the years final Busch Grand National event. NEXTEL Cup star Harvick, running part-time in Busch for Richard Childress, won for the second time this year. Jamie McMurray finished second and couldn’t take advantage of “overtime” mandated by a lap 197 crash by Mike Bliss that forced a white-green-checkers finish.

Martin Truex Jr celebrated the series championship he clinched a week ago at Darlington. Truex, who finished ninth Saturday after leading 55 laps early, ended the season 230 points ahead of rookie Kyle Busch. Truex will run another season in Busch with DEI/Chance2. Busch will move up to Nextel Cup with Rick Hendrick.
