BRISTOL, Tenn. - Crumpled fenders, wadded up sheet metal, name-calling and a whole bunch of angry drivers: Just another day at Bristol Motor Speedway.

There were 17 cautions in the Food City 500 on Sunday - some for accidents, some for drivers just slipping up on the tight, high-banked .533-mile ring.

No one was very happy about it at the end of the day.

"I've never been hit so much in one day," Tony Stewart said after finishing 26th. "It was a bad day. I can't wait to get out of here."

Stewart was just one of the many drivers all over the track.

He made it clear he wasn't too happy with Ricky Rudd after Rudd pinched him against the wall as the two tried to avoid Jamie McMurray's disabled car.

After righting his Chevrolet, he ran up onto Rudd's bumper and forced the nose of his car under Rudd's in a continuous bump.

Jerry Nadeau sprinted over to Ryan Newman's pit to yell at Newman's crew chief after they tangled on the track.

Nadeau was running in fourth when he made contact with Newman, who was a lap down. Nadeau ended up 28th.

"Damn lapped-car can't use his head," Nadeau said. "I don't know what Ryan was thinking."

And Terry Labonte, who was running as high as second, was relegated to a 39th-place finish after he and Brett Bodine wrecked.

"Anytime you race with a Bodine, you're liable to get in a wreck," he grumbled.
