Anthony Lazzaro completed the full 92 laps and finished 28th in the #37 Tequila Patron Dodge at Watkins Glen. But a post-race incident with Nextel Cup rookie #5-Kyle Busch spoiled what had been a successful day. “The punk crashed me on the cooldown lap. It just shows me this guy never built or worked on a car,” Lazzaro said of Kurt Busch’s younger brother. “We don’t go out and try to wreck other people’s equipment.” Lazzaro said the trouble may have resulted when the two made contact late in the race. Lazzaro admitted he made some mistakes, the result of not having enough spotters. He said he got into Scott Pruett and drove underneath Ken Schrader at different points of the race. The #37 crew was so fired up over the incident a fight almost erupted with Kyle Busch’s #5 Kellogg Chevrolet crew. The #37’s acting crew chief, Glenn Darrow, had to calm his guys down by saying, “We’re not going to start anything. But if they want to start something, we’ll finish it.”(Elmira Star Gazette)(8-16-2005)
