Dan MacKay backed his car into the wall during afternoon practice; his crew, helped by others, thrashed to replace the rear-end and ready the car for the racing.


The pits were full, with 33 cars on hand. Bobby White's No. 81 sits in the foreground. White was running third when he got tangled up with Dean MacInnis on lap 37; the two spun, blocking the track in front of a fast pack of cars, resulting in a 10-car pileup. White's racecar landed on top of George Koszkulic's car, against the inside retaining wall.

Rollie MacDonald buckles up for practice in John Flemming's "PASS" car. MacDonald was charging to the front of the pack when he got caught up in "The Big One" on lap 37 of the feature, with the car suffering severe damage. MacDonald was unhurt.


Lonnie Sommerville buckles in behind the wheel of his new racecar, formerly owned by Rollie MacDonald - and piloted to the 05 CARQUEST Tour championship.


MacDonald and Sommerville pitted side by each on the back pit road.


MacDonald (7) and Donald Chisholm (89).


Bobby Nielsen purchased this car from Scott Alexander, but an injured wrist kept him from debuting it at Riverside; Alexander filled in for cousin Bobby.

Ricky Bobby was in the house!

The Big One - Lap 37


Sorry for the fuzzy shot...But check out George Koszkulics climbing up and out of his racecar, which was wedged under Bobby White's car and between Kris Fournier's and Russell Smith's. Rollie MacDonald was the last driver to emerge from his car, not because he was hurt, but because he was surrounded by cars and couldn't get out.


One of the worst wrecks we've seen in 40 years of attending Maritime stock car racing. Thanks goodness no-one was hurt.


Kudos to track management for having five wreckers on hand; it took a relatively short 15 minutes to untangle this mess.


At the end of the day it was Wayne Smith in Victory Lane. Mike Mattie, Nova Construction was the Grand Marshall, presenting Smith with the winner's hardware.
