However Kyle Busch recovered from a restart failure and drove after Earnhardt Jr. With 5 laps left, Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. got side by side and Earnhardt Jr. crashed with 3 laps left. The caution flew and the fans were angry with Kyle Busch even though it was clear and obvious that Busch was not at fault; and that he and Earnhardt Jr. were just plain, cleanly racing and refusing to lose. Earnhardt Jr. himself said on the radio and in the post-race ceremonies that Busch was not at fault but nonetheless the fans jeered Busch for the rest of the race and in the days that followed. </p><p>Meanwhile, at the time of the contact RCR driver <a href="/wiki/Clint_Bowyer" title="Clint Bowyer">Clint Bowyer</a> caught up with the two leaders and stole the lead from Kyle Busch. On the final restart Clint Bowyer drove off for his second NSCS victory while Kyle Busch fought Mark Martin for second place. It was Bowyer's last win in NASCAR while numbered as 07, and this win brought Chevrolet to winning the most NASCAR wins in history. </p><p>The other big story of the race was that Michael Waltrip was parked by NASCAR. With 46 laps left a caution flew when Casey Mears crashed. It was seen that Waltrip's hood was locked on Mears' rear and Waltrip was trying frantically to crash Mears. The hits caused Casey Mears to crash and bring out the yellow. Prior to the hits with Casey, Waltrip had hit the wall because of Casey's racing moves. NASCAR instantly parked Michael Waltrip causing Waltrip to face his first disqualification of his career. </p> <table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="9">Top ten finishers </th></tr> <tr> <th>Pos. </th> <th>Car no. </th> <th>Driver </th> <th>Make </th> <th>Team </th></tr> <tr> <td>1 </td> <td>07 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Clint_Bowyer" title="Clint Bowyer">Clint Bowyer</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Chevrolet" title="Chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Richard_Childress_Racing" title="Richard Childress Racing">Richard Childress Racing</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>2 </td> <td>18 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Kyle_Busch" title="Kyle Busch">Kyle Busch</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Toyota" title="Toyota">Toyota</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Joe_Gibbs_Racing" title="Joe Gibbs Racing">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>3 </td> <td>8 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Mark_Martin" title="Mark Martin">Mark Martin</a> </td> <td>Chevrolet </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Dale_Earnhardt,_Inc." title="Dale Earnhardt, Inc.">Dale Earnhardt, Inc.</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>4 </td> <td>20 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tony_Stewart" title="Tony Stewart">Tony Stewart</a> </td> <td>Toyota </td> <td>Joe Gibbs Racing </td></tr> <tr> <td>5 </td> <td>1 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Martin_Truex_Jr." title="Martin Truex Jr.">Martin Truex Jr.</a> </td> <td>Chevrolet </td> <td>Dale Earnhardt, Inc. </td></tr> <tr> <td>6 </td> <td>12 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)" title="Ryan Newman (racing driver)">Ryan Newman</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Dodge" title="Dodge">Dodge</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Penske_Racing" class="mw-redirect" title="Penske Racing">Penske Racing</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>7 </td> <td>99 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Carl_Edwards" title="Carl Edwards">Carl Edwards</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ford_Motor_Company" title="Ford Motor Company">Ford</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Roush_Fenway_Racing" class="mw-redirect" title="Roush Fenway Racing">Roush Fenway Racing</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>8 </td> <td>29 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Kevin_Harvick" title="Kevin Harvick">Kevin Harvick</a> </td> <td>Chevrolet </td> <td>Richard Childress Racing </td></tr> <tr> <td>9 </td> <td>24 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Jeff_Gordon" title="Jeff Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a> </td> <td>Chevrolet </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Hendrick_Motorsports" title="Hendrick Motorsports">Hendrick Motorsports</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>10 </td> <td>9 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Kasey_Kahne" title="Kasey Kahne">Kasey Kahne</a> </td> <td>Dodge </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Gillett_Evernham_Motorsports" class="mw-redirect" title="Gillett Evernham Motorsports">Gillett Evernham Motorsports</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p><i><b>NOTE:</b> Race was extended by eight laps due to <a href="/wiki/Green-white-checker_finish" class="mw-redirect" title="Green-white-checker finish">green-white-checker finish</a>.</i> </p><p>Failed to qualify: <a href="/wiki/Ken_Schrader" title="Ken Schrader">Ken Schrader</a> (#40), <a href="/wiki/Scott_Wimmer" title="Scott Wimmer">Scott Wimmer</a> (#33), <a href="/wiki/Jon_Wood" title="Jon Wood">Jon Wood</a> (#21), <a href="/wiki/John_Andretti" title="John Andretti">John Andretti</a> (#34) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dodge_Challenger_500">Dodge Challenger 500</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2008_NASCAR_Sprint_Cup_Series&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Dodge Challenger 500"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/2008_Dodge_Challenger_500" title="2008 Dodge Challenger 500">2008 Dodge Challenger 500</a></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Dodge_Challenger_500" class="mw-redirect" title="Dodge Challenger 500">Dodge Challenger 500</a> was run May 10 at the newly repaved <a href="/wiki/Darlington_Raceway" title="Darlington Raceway">Darlington Raceway</a> in <a href="/wiki/Darlington,_South_Carolina" title="Darlington, South Carolina">Darlington, South Carolina</a>. <a href="/wiki/Greg_Biffle" title="Greg Biffle">Greg Biffle</a> won the pole, breaking <a href="/wiki/Ward_Burton" title="Ward Burton">Ward Burton</a>'s long standing pole speed by 5.6 mph (9.0 km/h), mostly due to the repaved surface on the track. <a href="/wiki/Kyle_Busch" title="Kyle Busch">Kyle Busch</a> was the winner of the race. this would be the last race under the "Dodge Challenger 500" name;
