Bashas' Supermarkets 200 - Phoenix International Raceway

Hamilton Jr. Wins Rain-Delayed, Rain-Shortened Event at Phoenix
Who said that it never rains in the desert? Bobby Hamilton Jr. took the checkered flag in the rain-delayed and rain-shortened Bashas' Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. After being delayed some 2 hours and 24 minutes by rain, the event was cut short by 19 laps once the rain returned. Hamilton was out in front of Kevin Harvick in the closing laps before the caution flag came out at lap 175 due to the rain. It was Hamilton’s series-leading fourth trip to victory lane in 2003 and the fifth win of his career. Harvick crossed the finish line in second, followed by Brian Vickers in third. Joe Nemechek and Ron Hornaday rounded out the top five, while Scott Riggs finished sixth. Riggs moved atop the Busch series point standings, leading Hornaday by 17 points with two races remaining.
