9th place - Kurt Busch (177 points behind)
JIM UTTER
The Charlotte Observer
Sunday, Sep. 30, 2007
Rain altered Kurt Busch’s fuel strategy and put him in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Busch led the most laps (76) in the race, but after several teams – including his – had made green-flag stops for fuel, rain started falling, bringing out the caution.
While battling his way back to the front, Busch ran into the back of Tony Stewart.
“I thought we had a really fast race car, it just didn’t pan out on the fuel strategy,” Busch said.
“Around halfway when the rain came out, what it did is it took all the guys that were about 15th to 25th and put them up front.”
