, the team's developmental driver.
Ultra Motorsports, meanwhile, fielded both of their full-time trucks driven by Musgrave and
Andy Houston, who drove the #2 Team ASE Ram.
Tyler Walker, a developmental driver racing part time for Ultra, fielded the #7 Dodge Motorsports Ram as he had in two prior races in the truck he shared with
Tracy Hines. They then drew criticism for two additional entries they prepared specifically for this race. The first truck was prepared for
Marty Houston, a former Truck Series regular and brother of Andy Houston who had been on the #1’s pit crew; he drove the #10 Ram carrying the same sponsorship as his brother in his first NASCAR race of any kind since 2001. The second truck was prepared for
P.J. Jones, a former IndyCar series driver who had not made a start in the Truck Series in eight years and who was largely a
road course ringer; he piloted the #27 Ram sponsored by team owner Jim Smith’s company Ultra Wheels.
Among the critics of the move was the points leader, who felt that by fielding five trucks that Smith was trying to give Musgrave an unfair advantage, especially considering that Marty Houston had not raced in over two years. Gaughan's complaints proved to be valid, as with thirty-four laps to go in the race, his day came to an end. The #62 made contact with the #10, who was running a lap down, and in the process

in the #80 Emerson Electronics Ford F-150 was collected in the wreck. None of the three trucks were able to continue and the accident cost Gaughan his chance at the championship. An angry Gaughan blasted Houston for causing the accident and Smith for his tactics in an interview following the accident.
The next contender to run into trouble was Musgrave. With two laps to go in the race, the race restarted and Musgrave attempted to make a pass on Kvapil's inside before the cars reached the start/finish line. Musgrave completed the pass and then passed Setzer, but NASCAR threw the black flag as Musgrave was judged to have been in violation of race rules. Musgrave never answered the black flag, and when the checkered flag fell on the next lap he crossed it in sixth place behind Sprague and in front of Kvapil, who passed Setzer for seventh. With the penalty, however, Musgrave was listed as the last car on the lead lap in thirteenth place.
For several minutes, NASCAR held off on making the results official as they reviewed Musgrave's penalty. After a 23-minute delay, the black flag was upheld, and Kvapil was declared the series champion. The final margin was nine points, while Musgrave finished eighteen points behind and Gaughan forty (without the black flag, Musgrave would have been the champion over Kvapil by 12 points, with Setzer 21 behind, and Gaughan 52 back).
In a post-race interview, an obviously angry Musgrave, while acknowledging his infraction, blamed it on Kvapil putting the brakes on him and responded with, "That figures. Screw them. All I can say is that next year, you're going to see a whole new Ted Musgrave. He's going to be the dirtiest son of a gun going out there on the racetrack and you might as well throw that rulebook away. I ain't going by it no more."
