Another Turn 4 crash takes out frontrunners


It was beginning to look like Kevin Harvick might give his wife, DeLana, a victory in the couple's No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet but that all went up in smoke as Jeff Burton lost control of the No. 29 RIchard Childress Holiday Inn Chevrolet and spun in front of Harvick's car.
Harvick tried to avoid Burton but he ended up collecting him just past the exit of Turn 4 and destroyed the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet.
Once again, I was all over the action as you can see in this shot of the crash. I will post more later but right now we have been through nine cautions and there are only 14 cars on teh lead lap of the race.
I will try to get a comment from Harvick's PR people about what he saw as Burton was coming across the hood of his car.

Seemed like no matter who you were or how hard you worked to get to the lead, the track had a mind of its own who would be the best. This was almost like the track was going to rule and the drivers were the pawn. Bet everyone was glad to get this race over. Hope it goes better tomorrow for the Cup guys. I really thought Harvick had the best car but the track thought differently. Keep up good work.
