The track holds special meaning for some series drivers as they collected
their final career series win at New Hampshire. Tommy Ellis, the 1988 NASCAR
Busch Series champion who won the first race in the spring of 1990, is joined
by Buckshot Jones (1998), Tim Fedewa (2000), Elton Sawyer (1999), Rick Mast
(1990 fall) and Robert Pressley (1993) are among those having won their last
series race at NHIS ... Derrike Cope won the 1994 event for his only series
win, while Bobby Hamilton Jr.'s first career series victory came at New
Hampshire in 2002.

NASCAR BUSCH SERIES "25 SEASONS RUNNING" QUOTABLES

"Down south I was trying to do a little bit of Late Model Sportsman, a little
bit of Cup wherever I could find a ride, and the term was always, "Well, when
I carry it down into Turn One, it does this or that.' Then I moved up to New
England where it's just all short tracks, very competitive, wild racing up
there, and the term was 'Well, when I slam it into Turn One, it does this and
that.' They do a lot of that up there. Rough racin.' I really learned how to
drive traffic up there in New England, I did." -- Chuck Bown, 1990 NASCAR
Busch Series champion.

ON DECK: MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY

The NASCAR Busch Series makes its return to Martinsville on July 22 for the
first time since 1994. Kenny Wallace was the last series driver to win at the
0.526-mile track, the shortest on the 2006 schedule. David Green was the most
recent Busch Pole winner at Martinsville -- he actually captured consecutive
poles in '94 when two races were run at the track.
