MINDY’S MONDAY MINUTE 
Ringers Gloves Weekend Wrap-Up – Season-end NASCAR  Report 

Moorpark,  Calif. -  (November 21, 2005) The 2005 NASCAR  season has come to 
an end in its three premiere series; Nextel Cup, Busch Grand  National and 
Craftsman Truck. 
The Ford Championship weekend at Florida’s Homestead-Miami Speedway saw 
action  in the Ford 200 in Friday night’s Truck race, the Ford 300 in Saturday’s 
Busch  race and the finale of them all, the Ford 400 in the Nextel Cup race on  
Sunday. 
On Friday, the Ringers Gloves team of Billy Ballew Motorsports planted  Kyle 
Busch back in the driver’s seat of the No. 15 Chevrolet for the final race  of 
the year.  Busch continued his  consistency in the truck that he displayed 
throughout the season and brought the  No. 15 home in sixth place. 
The Ringers team of Orleans Racing saw Brendan Gaughan and Scott Lynch  
finish 16th and 17th respectively. 
Gaughan finished 19th in the Craftsman Truck Series season  points. 
Saturday’s Ford 300 saw Ryan Newman continue to dominate the Busch Series  
regulars.  Newman took his fourth  Busch Pole of his short nine-race Busch 
season and also captured his sixth win  of the year, after a battle with Greg 
Biffle in the closing laps of the  race. 
Other Ringers notables in the field were Paul Menard, finished fifth and  
J.J. Yeley in 28th, both were protected with UnderX by  Ringers. 
Menard moved up one position in points to finish sixth on the season and  
Yeley, 11th. 
Not only did Newman capture the pole for the Busch race, he took the  outside 
front row in the Nextel Cup Series’ season finale Ford  400. 
Newman fought a tight race car on and off throughout the day, but rallied  to 
pick up a seventh place finish, ending his season sixth in Nextel Cup Chase  
for the Championship points. 
His Penske Racing South teammate Rusty Wallace completed his “Last Call�??  
Tour with a 13th place finish at Homestead. 
Wallace will pick up his eighth place Championship points paycheck in  New 
York in  early December. 
Their teammate Travis Kvapil ended his rookie Nextel Cup season  33rd in 
season points, with a 32nd place finish in the  Ford 400. 
For 2006, Penske Racing South will have a different driver in the No. 2  
Miller Lite Dodge.  As it’s been  speculated for most of the season and finally 
confirmed a couple weeks ago, the  driver that will fill the seat of the 
legendary Rusty Wallace will be the 2004  Nextel Cup Champion, Kurt Busch. 
The 2006 NASCAR season will begin at the familiar Daytona International  
Speedway in February.
