This "official" race title is confusing this time. The spring race was titled "Bubba Burger 250". The current name was usually the fall's race name.

So, last year's Spring race winner (Bubba Burger 250) was Denny Hamlin

Last year's Fall Virginia 529 College Savings 250 winner was Kyle Busch

Danica shall place 3rd.

Clive Brown · 25 Apr 2012, 18:59 (Ref:3065523)

Ha! Pastrana will finish nowhere, just around Danica's eventual finishing position.

To be fair to her, I would consider any finish within the top 15 at this this stage in her career to be an acceptable result. I just don't think she can drive sheep....

DanicaFan · 28 Apr 2012, 01:38 (Ref:3066392)

What a great finish!

LOL, spot on assessments there. The two celebrity drivers got beat by the "other" girl, Johanna Long.

And, just like last nights K&N Series race, that was a great finish. I think that was the kind of racing that Bruton rebuilt Bristol for, but the Bristol fans would rather see some demo derbies than real racing.

FordCosworthPanoz · 28 Apr 2012, 10:41 (Ref:3066476)

That was a great race, lots of passing, strategy, and an incredible finish.

And how'bout that Ryan Blaney? Great run, not suprising if you've seen him come up through the ranks.

**gomick** · 29 Apr 2012, 07:28 (Ref:3066790)

Good that Kurt got Kyle Busch Motorsports there 1st win... Where did Pastrana finish, saw half-way thru he was 19th on the lead lap & he joked that he was ahead of the 2 women...

**FIRE** · 29 Apr 2012, 10:56 (Ref:3066886)

Great finish!

He ended up 22nd, right behind both girls, but only because of a late pit road speed infraction and resulting penalty.

I am not his biggest fan, but seeing as he was in his first start in the series, and She has been there for a couple years now, I'd say Travis is the better of the two underqualified celebs.

That was an exceptionable win won well. I don't begrudge the Busch brothers for this one.
