Darnell wins in a photo finish - Busch wrecks Hornaday

Erik Darnell edged out Johnny Benson in a photo finish, literally.  NASCAR actually had to look at photos of the finish to call the winner, it was that close.  Congrats to Darnell.

The other big story of the race had to do with the finish also, but a different kind of finish and involved, surprise, surprise, Kyle Busch.  On the last lap, Busch was trying to get by Hornaday, who was in 7th and spun him, leaving Hornaday finishing 23rd, instead of 7th and dropping him from 1st to 3rd in the point standings.  Obviously, Hornaday wasn't thrilled and both him and Harvick went to have words with Busch after the race.

After everything calmed down, they were able to interview Hornaday and he had some pretty strong words to say about Busch...

He just drove into me because he got mad because I took us four wide and passed him cleanly. Halfway through the race, he showed me he was upset because he lifted the back of the truck up. If he is going to race that way, that is pretty chicken. He doesn't deserve to be a racer.

He has a lot of talent, but that is just flat stupid. I don't knock any other driver, but I will tell you what, that kid has just about done wore me out. I don't know if I have to give up this championship to teach him a lesson. I hope I don't hurt him because, if Joe Gibbs lets him do this, I am ashamed for them.

He was definitely upset about the incident and you really can't blame him since it not only dropped where he finished, but made him lose the points lead.  They weren't able to interview Busch after the race because he left right away to get to Kentucky for the Nationwide race, but they were able to talk to him before he got in the car and he just had a short statement and nothing more...

I just got into him. Sorry about that. But remarks from Harvick and Hornaday are what they're going to be, they're big mouths anyway and so we'll take it and get on with it and hopefully beat them out for this championship.

I'm not exactly sure which championship he was talking about, but I highly doubt it was the Truck series one.  But he's one to talk about "big mouths", if I remember right, that's one of the reasons Hendrick got rid of him to get Jr.  Now, I have no problem about a driver speaking his mind and everything, which I admit Harvick does and I think more drivers should do it, but you don't go around calling someone a "big mouth" for something you yourself do too.  I'm sure Busch would have had a completely different view of the situation if the tables were turned.
