FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:

Check back Tuesday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Friday's Answer:
Friday's Answer:
Q: The 2005 Pennsylvania 500 was a four-hour race with 13 cautions won by Kurt Busch. Kasey Kahne was in contention for a great finish until the GWC. What happened to cost him that finish?
A: On the GWC, Kahne went to the outside of Carl Edwards in turn 1 for fourth. The two drivers made contact exiting the turn, resulting in Kahne turning into the wall and scrubbing the concrete down part of the Long Pond Straightaway. The crash can be seen here.
NASCAR waited a full lap to put the yellow out after the wreck. Edwards would maintain his fourth-place at the finish, while Kahne ended up a lap down in 27th.
