Rudd was given the checker, the black flag and a 5 second penalty that dropped Rudd to 2nd and gave the win to Allison.<BR/><BR/>Dale Jarrett’s victory in the Detroit Gasket 200 Grand National race at MIS was taken away. 3 hours after the checkered flew NASCAR spokesman Andy Hall walked into a nearly empty press room and announced: <I>“I regret to inform you that we have a new winner of the Busch race.”</I><BR/><BR/>Of more recent vintage and at the same level series as Sellers is competing in Mike Olsen, who now owns the car driven by Max Dumarey in the East series, was stripped of his Toyota All-Star Showdown victory at Irwindale Speedway in 2005.marchttp://fullthrottle.cranialcavity.netnoreply@blogger.com
