PHOTO FINISH

What's the difference between victory and defeat?







About .002 seconds.

Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch beat on each other for two laps of the Darlington 1.366-mile superspeedway before they slid across the finish line with the left front corner of Craven's No. 32 Tide Pontiac ahead of Busch's Rubbermaid Ford by inches.

The official margin of victory was .002 seconds, which officials tagged the closest finish in NASCAR since electronic scoring came into use in 1993. It might have been the closest ever.
