Power Outage Cause Christopher To Loose Laps In New Hampshire NEXTEL Cup Event


From Fox Sports:


Electrical power to the New Hampshire track blinked out just minutes before the start of Sunday's race. But the 300-mile event started right on time, thanks to generators that kept all of NASCAR's equipment, including timing and scoring, up and running. The TV broadcast by TNT was also able to continue without interruption until full power was restored after just four laps had been run. Ted Christopher's [#27 Chevy] car was held in the garage until after the power came on because his spotter, who apparently was stuck on an elevator, had note reported to the spotters' stand at the top of the grandstand. Christopher started the race four laps behind. Officials said an auto accident away from the racetrack knocked down high voltage lines and caused the brief outage.(FoxSports/AP)(9-18-2006)
