Jeff Burton wins Dover Susch Series race

Rain cancelled qualifying at Saturday's Stonebridgeracing.com 200 Busch Series race at Dover, DE. So Kevin Harvick was on the pole via owners points and there would be a lot of good cars in the back of the field.



Carl Edwards-#60 iLevel Trus Joists Ford led the early part of the race. The turning point of the race came when Steve Park-#31 Whelan Engineering Chevy hit the wall and brought out the caution. Leader Edwards pitted but Clint Bowyer-#2 AC Delco Chevy stayed out and took the lead. Jeff Burton-#29 Holiday Inn Chevy, Kurt Busch-#39 Penske Truck Leasing & Ron Hornaday-#33 Outdoor Channel Chevy also stayed out. So would fresh tires give Edwards the win?




Busch & Burton passed Bowyer. Then while Burton had caught up to Busch and was trying to pass him, Edwards moved up to challenge both of them. Burton finally passed Busch with 18 laps remaining but was able to hold off Edwards for the win. Edwards was second, Busch third, & Bowyer fourth. Kevin Harvick finished 13th and still has a big points lead.
