Fast, furious finishes
Brack an Indy opportunist; Jeff Burton a NASCAR millionaire in Charlotte
History, ounces and inches took center stage during Sunday's mega-menu of racing. Kenny Brack displayed milk-gulping skills after capitilizing on Robby Gordon's empty fuel tank to win the 83rd Indianapolis 500, while Jeff Burton shook off bumper-hugging Bobby Labonte to claim the Coca-Cola 600 and a $1 million bonus. The constant in both races was Tony Stewart, whose ninth-place showing at Indy and fourth-place at Charlotte made doubleheader history. And another era dawned as two Earnhardts suited up for the same Winston Cup event.
