CONCORD, N.C. -- A 10-car accident on lap 230 of the UAW-GM Quality 500 slowed the action down in at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Sunday.

While coming out of Turn 4, heading through the trioval of the 1.5-mile track, the No. 26 Ford of Todd Bodine got down into the grass. He then came back up on the track and into the side of the No. 22 Dodge of Ward Burton -- who then got into the No. 30 Chevrolet of Jeff Green.

Green went up into the wall and all three cars spun. They collected seven other drivers behind them.

Bobby Hamilton, Ricky Craven, Brett Bodine, Kenny Wallace and John Andretti were involved. With Kevin Harvick and Robby Gordon also involved, it made for a bad day for the Richard Childress Racing.

The right side of Harvick's No. 29 Chevrolet became airborne as he ran over Bodine's car.

"They (Burton and Green) jacked up and slowed up," Bodine said. "I was either going to run into the back of Ward or go underneath him. I went under him and hell ...I was in the grass when I go there.

"I hate it, I know everyone is going to blame me for this. But, Jeff and Ward let off and I had to turn."

Burton said Bodine is a good driver, but he wishes Bodine would use a little more patience.

"The No. 30 (Green) went on outside of me and I had to slow down to give him room," Burton said. "The No. 26 (Bodine) went under me.

"Todd's a great driver, I just wish sometimes he'd use a little more patience. It's his responsibility to look ahead and think ahead. I can't do that for him."

Green was running in the mid-pack most of the day in the No. 30 AOL Chevrolet. He said the wreck wasn't the answer to their problems.

"We weren't very good, but not real good now," Green said. "You don't need to be in the grass when it's dry, much less when it's wet."

Craven said accidents like that will happen when a team is running toward the back of the pack.

"The No. 26 went across the grass," Craven said. "I don't know if he got forced down there or he drove there --- you're supposed to be on the asphalt. That's what started the whole thing.

"It's always the same old story, though. If you're back there, you take a greater risk."
