WOW, a large fire in an RV in the infield around 7:20pm/et, the fire company got there quick and got it out fast…nice job! No one seriously hurt, one person had slight burns on their hand.
#17-Kenseth only ran one lap, as the engine started overheating and wanted to protect the engine, if the team has to add water or pressurize the system, is would be an unapproved change and Kenseth would have to go to the rear.
The #0-Bliss team is reporting that they have an engine problem as Bliss had a transmission problem qualifying and over revved the engine, but someone on the team reset the Tach and crew chief Bootie Barker has no proof there is a problem, the team already changed transmissions after practice and will have to go to the rear of the field anyway.
After #18-Labonte went out, there was a slight delay as a turtle was on the track and he track worker seemed afraid of it, the TNT reported later that the turtle was ok and returned to the wild..(7-1-2005)
UPDATE: been told that no drivers will have to go to the rear of the field.(7-2-2005)
