Winner Earnhardt booed at Michigan

It was the 23rd win by a Nextel Cup regular in 25 Busch races this season.

In a green-white-chequered finish, Edwards was leading when he appeared to slightly lose control of his car at Turn 2, before Earnhardt hit him, spinning in front of Robby Gordon and to the infield.

The caution period was declared immediately, and after NASCAR reviewed the incident, Earnhardt was declared the victor to a series of boos in Victory Lane from the crowd.

Edwards showed his frustration, by parking in Earnhardt's pit box, before then driving back out to collide into him on his slowing down lap.

"I didn't mean to spin him out. I don't go around wrecking people," Earnhardt said. "I wouldn't have waited two years to get back at him for wrecking me in Atlanta in 2004 pretty much the same way.

"We got a run off that corner, and Carl just got sideways and he wasn't in the gas. I guess he was pretty mad at me, but there wasn't much I could do."

Edwards put the blame squarely at the door of Earnhardt. "He just wrecked me off Turn 2," Edwards said.

"I just wanted to make sure he knew I was mad that he wrecked me. It's racing."
