Results of the Sam’s Town 300 Busch Series Race

by webmaster on Mar.11, 2007, under Jeff Burton, Nationwide Series

The top 8 finishers in the Busch Series race at Las Vegas are all Cup regulars, I bet it gets on the Busch Series drivers nerves, but I believe it is part of the reason that Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, and especially Kevin Harvick did so well last year in the Nextel Cup. My guess is at least 5 of those drivers, maybe 6 or 7, will be in the top 10 in the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 in Las Vegas Sunday, along with Jeff Gordon that is. ;)
