Seven top contenders drive into trouble at MBNA 500.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Ryan Gilchrest
HAMPTON, Ga. _ It was a dreadful day for most of the contenders for the Nextel Cup title.
Seven of the 10 Chase for the Championship contenders ran into trouble and finished deep in the field Sunday in the Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, most notably Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Busch, who finished sixth or better in the previous six races, said he had a gut feeling before the race that he might be due a bad result, and he was right. He blew an engine on the backstretch on lap 52 and finished 42nd.
"You feel like you've done everything you can to produce the results," Busch said immediately afterward. "You know something is going to bite you. You know something is going to come up."
Busch's lead dwindled from 96 to 59 with races at Phoenix, Darlington and Homestead remaining.
"I just had one of those feelings that something was going to happen and today was our day," Busch said. "Next week we've got to come back just as strong."
