Kroger 200
The Kroger 200 benefiting Riley Hospital for Children was held on July 28 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. Aric Almirola won the pole. Fresh from qualifying at the Brickyard, the NEXTEL Cup drivers converged with the Busch regulars at ORP. The race would be dominated by Greg Biffle, who is in the midst of a dismal year. Biffle showed the field that he had not lost any talent, leading 94 of the 200 laps. However, Busch regular Jason Leffler would trump the "Buschwhackers" with a pass on Biffle with 2 to go. Leffler would hold on the get his second career victory since 2004 and the historic first win for Toyota in a stock car.
