Sportsman driver Todd McGraw broke his arm in hot laps when the drive shaft broke in half and came up and hit his arm.

It was a great 3 way battle to the finish. Babb, Moyer and O'Neal all lead on the final lap. Babb moved O'Neal out of the way coming out of turn four to get the win.
 
I was a little upset with Babb's move on that one. Can't even begin to use the "I owe him one" excuse when it was O'neil involved.
 
More than a tap

I agree, i was sitting in turn four and Babb really gave him a shot in the rear. I think it was more frustration on Babb's part from getting caught behind that lapped car in turn two.

I know rubbin is racing, and moving a guy up is ok in some cases, but I saw Babb floor it out of turn three and hit O'Neal hard in four to move him out of the way. Just how I saw it. I think O'Neal's reaction after the finish would tend to agree also.

But it was one of the best races I have seen in a while. Hope most of these guys give B-town a shot on Sunday.

Can anyone say, Pay Back??????
 
I don't agree with "Rubbin is racing" and "moving over is alright sometimes", but that is all opinion differences...
