Despite 2 long rain delays, 12 cautions, and overtime, Ryan Newman held on to take his 3rd consecutive race in the Busch Series with his win in the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Newman inherited the lead on lap 139 when the rest of the field took scheduled pit stops. When the 2nd rain delay of the race was called, Newman was still in the lead, and resumed the race still in that position after almost 2 hours of delay's. Kasey Kahne was putting continueous pressure on Newman through the numerous restarts that followed the rain delay. Finally after several attempts, Kahne pushed the envelope too far and spun himself out with 30 laps to go.
Once Kahne was out of the picture, Newman had to contend with fellow "Buschwackers" Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick putting on the pressure. Newman would dodge a bullet with 17 to go as Carl Edwards spun and brought out yet another caution just as Biffle was trying to pass. Once racing resumed, Newman was saved by the final caution of the race with 5 laps to go which set up a green-white-checkered finish to send the race into overtime. Holding off all challengers, Newman was able to take the checkered flag in front of Beffle and Harvick who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.
