TROIS-RIVIERES - Josh Batista had one of the best cars out there tonight, but misfortune strikes him as the tire blows out on the final lap, allowing Nick Phillip to capitalize and win his 7th race of the season and his first in the chase, setting up a final showdown at Atlanta for the championship between Cliff Raymond, Joe Branch, Josh Batista, and (MAYBE) Nick Phillip. Cliff leads by 4 points over Joe, 29 over Batista, and 72 over Nick, who may need some luck to win the title next week.
Among the backmarkers, Tom Delgado was all over the place, sustained heavy damage, and pulled his #73 Joe Tree & Lawn Care Charger into the garage after just 4 of the 44 laps. Delgado was destined to run a short race after a dismal practice session, and his intention was to "start & park" after a handful of laps, but an early caution allowed Delgado to stay out a few more laps. Unfortunately, he got heavy damage on lap 4 overshooting one of the turns and hitting the tire wall, and had to pull it into the garage. This is Delgado's 2nd Cup Series last place finish of the season, and his 2nd last place finish of the weekend.
