· Setzer started the event in the ninth position after posting a lap of 168.660 mph on Saturday afternoon. It was the team’s sixth straight top-10 starting position.

· "It is a tick loose," said Setzer after the race was underway. He had fallen to 12th place on lap five due to the loose condition.

· The second caution flag of the day waved 20 laps later on lap 25 for a spin in turn four. Crew Chief Marcus Richmond made the call to bring the No. 18 United Dodge down pit road for service. The Dodge Racing Team changed right side tires, added fuel and went down one round on the track bar to help the loose condition. He restarted in the eighth position.

· Setzer was running 11th when an accident in turn three brought out the third caution on lap 40. "It has started cutting off down the straightaway," said Setzer. "I tried switching to the backup ignition box, but the problem continued." To be safe Richmond brought Setzer down pit road under the caution. The Dodge Racing Team jumped over the wall and went underneath the hood in search of the problem. They made sure all wires were secure and sent Setzer on his way. He restarted at the rear of the field in 23rd position.

· By lap 53 the ignition problem had disappeared and Setzer was running 18th. "Keep up the great lap times," encouraged Richmond. "Everyone else is falling off and you are staying consistent."

· An accident in turn one brought out the fourth caution of the night. Setzer made his way down pit road for left side tires and fuel before returning to the track. The majority of the lead pack took four tires instead of two allowing Setzer to gain several positions and restart in fifth place.

· "I have lost total grip on these tires," said Setzer while running seventh on lap 76. The caution waved once again on lap 78 for an accident in turn two. "Our fuel window is not until lap 86," said Richmond. "The way caution flags are falling I think we will be fine to go ahead and pit now." On lap 79 Setzer made his way down pit road for right side tires and two cans of fuel. Setzer returned to the track and came back in for a top off before restarting on lap 82 in 19th position.

· Setzer was running 15th when another caution waved just 16 laps later for a spin in turn four. Richmond brought the No. 18 Dodge down pit road for more fuel and a wedge adjustment in the right rear. Once again the majority of the front runners took four tires which allowed Setzer to move up to fifth place on the restart.

· He was running eighth on lap 118 battling a minor tight condition. Another caution waved several laps later for a spin in turn two, but Setzer stayed out.

· On lap 132 Setzer was running ninth when the No. 51 vehicle went underneath him heading into turn four. Setzer was holding his line when the No. 51 truck snapped loose turning into the No. 18 United Dodge. Setzer was sent slamming into the turn four wall suffering major damage.

· He was able to drive the Dodge Ram back down pit road for front end and rear deck lid repairs. The Dodge Racing Team jumped into action with hammers, steel rods and bare bond in hand ready to put the truck back together. They were able to beat back out the front end and bare bond the rear enough to send Setzer back out without going a lap down. They also changed four tires and added fuel. He restarted in on lap 136 in the 21st spot.

· With less than 40 laps remaining Setzer made the best of the situation and used his veteran driving skills to take care of the mangled truck and gain positions at the same time. The No. 18 United Dodge came home 16th after a hard fought night. Despite the disappointing finish Setzer gained points in the NCTS championship standings and remains in ninth position.
