Fontana, California, you really missed a great
finish.. Kyle Busch led 151 of 200 laps, but got
outrun by a couple of Chevrolets at the end.
With three laps to go after a yellow caution
flag, the drivers re-started with Bush leading
Jimmy Johnson into the last lap. Johnson got
around Bush but suddenly found Kevin Harvick
right on his rear bumper. On the backstretch Kevin
pushed Johnson's car into the last turn at a faster
speed than Johnson was ready for and the car
got loose. Harvick passed JJ on the high side of
the track and immediately went to the lower groove
to keep JJ from drafting on him. Harvick started the
race from the 24th spot and most of the announcers
had written him off despite running in the top ten most
of the race. It was the 15th NASCAR victory for Harvick
at the top echelon of the sport, and the win moved him
into 9th place in the points race. Harvick blew an engine
at Daytona on lap number 19 and finished that race in
the 42nd spot. He has slowly been working him way back
to the top, and today's win was all the more sweet as he
out-dueled the top two drivers in the sport at the moment
in Kyle Busch and Jimmy Johnson. Next week the drivers
