It looked like he was going to break a winless streak going back to 3 yrs. ago but he cut a tire down w/ 5 to go. He'll be back in Victory Lane soon though. 2.

Boris Said filled in and blew out a tire sparking a chain-reaction wreck that took out regulars Bobby Hamilton and Brendan Gaughan. Terry Cook was dominant, with a sure victory in sights despite a near-tangle with the "human wrecking ball", Shige Hattori, but cut down a tire with five to go handing the lead to ... Dennis Setzer? Todd Bodine? Under further review, Bodine had passed Setzer before the yellow lights came on, but Setzer was given the lead on the g/w/c due to reverting to the previous scoring loop. Setzer held off Bodine to take his third victory in the past four races. 3. Mike posted: 07.10.2005 - 6:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) What bull.... Cook should've won. A cut tire..... will he ever get any good luck. Worst of all it went to that Setzer, total bull. 4.

Boris Said who finished the race in the broadcast booth was called down from the Speed booth about a half hour before the race to fill in for Crawford who was suffered a concussion in a hard qualifying crash on the back stretch. Terry Cook was about two minutes away from breaking a 70 start winless streak but blew a tire and hit the wall hard with 4 to go. Brandon Whitt picked up his first career top 10 with a sixth place finish. Blake Feese made his Craftsman Truck Series debut, finishing 15th for Billy Ballew Motorsports. 5.

He seems to have found his calling in sports car racing though. Who knows how differently his career could have been if he had started racing in NASCAR before age 40. He might have been a whole lot more successful if he was able to start NASCAR races at 20, like many drivers today. Still, he was a truck series regular and a relatively popular driver because of it. 14.

Rick Crawford hit the backstretch wall opening in qualifying that Jeff Fuller more infamously hit the very next year, though Crawford slid in backwards and was going far slower than Fuller had been. The Trucks were still going quite quick in qualifying, though, as polesitter Bill Lester shattered the old track record by 9 mph. Boris Said was drafted in to serve as the substitute driver for the evening, his first Truck race in over five years and his first oval Truck race in nearly six years. He had never raced at Kentucky prior to this night. Said was hopping into a backup truck, completely green, with a scrambling crew that barely got an engine into the truck in time to make it to the pre-race grid as there was a slim window between qualifying and the race. His race went pretty much right as you'd expect it to go, driving away from 36th-place starter Wayne Edwards and briefly passing 34th-place Kelly Sutton before Sutton drove back around him. Said stayed in 35th essentially his entire race until he was involved in setting off the second caution of the day, taking several more solid trucks with him and bringing out a red flag. This was Said's final Truck race. Terry Cook's season from here unraveled much like his tire did at the end of this race. Entering Kentucky 7th in points, Cook was poised to leap into the top five - well behind point leader Dennis Setzer, though - with victory all but assured. Instead, the back half of the 2005 schedule saw Cook struggle and he scored just one top ten the rest of the year, slipping all the way to 15th in the final standings. Cook didn't lead another lap the rest of the season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
