Routed Golden Gate Bridge app and head and for the green and brown Rolling Hills that lead into the wind capital of northern California. That's a signing today for NASCAR's Winston cup tour and their first ever visit the Sears point international raceway in Sonoma California veteran road racer Darren grass field tells us and Sears point and match. Truly unique. Well I would say that it is that this is definitely. He's a wrote words I mean it's hard road courses go I would think Sears point is probably one of the toughest track new master work. That's the master with a car of this week and that fireside. I would say it the toughest course in the country today liar from. Sonoma California. Our Winston cup racing. I am radio. Presents NASCAR today. Sponsored by goodies headache powders and extra strength that. The official pain reliever of NASCAR. Good afternoon everyone from Sears point international raceway in Sonoma California beautiful day here in California northern California's Eli part out just won't go 42 cars are ready to get at it not just exactly what they're gonna get at. Whether or not really sure Eli because they've been around here and they've had some minor stands they've had some major spends an already had some major crashes and Rex for some of the best drivers in the business. This is in my judgment and I've been doing is a long long time I've never seen a race course short track that will demand more of these drivers and their cars we've got here this afternoon. The good news says it all the drivers who have problems and practice and qualifying are okay. But some have just not made the race others have had to repair their cars and replace their cars. Repair them twice in three times over has been that type of a week since the track opened for practice here on Thursday afternoon. 2.5. Two miles around this racetrack but they're probably more strategies and more ideas how to best get around this racetrack. And any other two and a half mile layout anywhere in this country are probably around the world running we're. Well let's get the thought some of the drivers will be in competition here and just won't be going trackside when Jim Phillips and Dick Brooks who we don't ever talk to the front row and work their way back to the field. There's an awful lot of stake for Rusty Wallace here this afternoon he starts on the pole for today's wag your frozen foods 300. There's a lot of money up like 76000 dollars in bonus money from the Unocal folks. And let's get his thoughts right now is gonna I'm Jim Phillips. Good afternoon everybody standing alongside Rusty Wallace whose comic sitting here in the chair allowing your mind rusty first tell us about Lilly Sears point racetrack. Well there's a lot of the road courses that we Ronald Watkins Glen Riverside this road courses totally unlike the rest them is very tight it's a very slow speed racetrack. A lot of uphill slot and down hills and things like batters. Analyzer so there's a lot of place to get off this track Allen Blakey Jeff codeine just name if you found that says union means. You know a year when you go off the track and it doesn't care for little bit cares about those guys are really two of the cars have bad despite sliding off. So the big deal they sustain on the racetrack. I don't teach yourself in a wheel hop position where you get breaking real heavy going down hill and rear tire start happen. It's going to be a situation where I've got to make sure you get singing here perfect every time. And if I think I'm getting a kernel to not mean any visa office just get through the corner find. Track position is going to be important on pit stops making sure you're up front all the time. The things like that Ted oil dri that the U's are here to clean up the racetrack is totally different lover used to it doesn't do a good job and all. And it makes attract very slick so I'll have to keep that mine also. There has been some tire Wear and on this racetrack. Yet this year has we're looking at the first green flag pit stop somewhere around 2225. Laps and that should fall right in we need from 48 hours also. There's a lot on the line today for Rusty Wallace. The series you know there's a lot of points celery Wilson and Paul steamy semi six got Dexter 76000 dollars up for grabs right now affect you when your second taken home. The points and the money and just the first time I hear it's very prestigious to have my name records that first of all be done the first Ron Paul. It was nice having my name in the record books the first on the last inauguration Riverside. And I sure like rather 76 granite top draft list. We've got a good look to today thank you very much a trustee policies that eagle on the pole today here at Sears point if you wanna compare rusty Wallace's run. With previous stock car run this year may have run Winston west competition. Another stock car races here since 1969. Erase that re older one back then. The pole speed the record speed here was Herschel McGrath 87 point 144 miles an hour. At Rusty Wallace on the pole today at ninety point 041. Miles an hour. A West Coast native and a former Winston cup when Arizona right as they have a gentleman on pit road for a share of the shaft around. Big crux of what we're South Carolina has alongside the matter is on the outside of the front row Mark Martin. I marsh get himself strapped in a car here mark give. You've seen you've been right in front I guess you've been a top four qualifier are quite a few times you done it again on brand new racetrack here in new situation and not. I guess one of the best questions asked. From most anybody and on sunny Jim Phillips asked arrest two losses same thing. What do you expect from this racetrack and explain it just a little bit. Well. That's the real good question Dick. We're not sure if the race tracks gonna get real this. Well after winning on a set of tires or it's gonna get real tight. Are what make. We know there are car wreck real fast and it's real comfortable and it doesn't seem to give. But we don't know the conditions that that we're gonna have under braking and he. And acceleration and all those kind of things and you know it's hard to get twenty laps of practice here in one row because somebody was always recommend bringing out the caution so. It's an dating ever went. Expect there have been a lot of wrecks. Yes I really do I I'll be surprised we read more than five laps at a tablet that. I yellow a lot of a lot of the race. I really hope not valid really really live for Redick drained all the way we know we I was at all that I don't expect to see that happens. Well you're and I got a bit of money column won't take all his money only maybe guys are horrendous thing without any cautioned her about that away one other question I think. This give you start right affront even a top qualifier a lot of times and then something happened to just slip away I'm. I don't mean at the sound disrespectful but what happens. Well. You know I don't know. In the last eight races we haven't finished her six I don't think it's definitely too bad. You know we had our strongest threat ever read. At Dover and got beat by Dale Earnhardt I don't think that. I should be embarrassed about matter any of the teams should be embarrassed. Dale had exceptional day and leaders have met tellers do it. Thanks Charl that I had a car that was good enough to win and we broke the transmission. In everything that third and fourth gear that really are because the car I feel was strong enough to win that race and and now we saw that go by the wayside but we were real lucky to finish and continue to get those points. We miss some set ups and we did set up too good about being set up did good. I mean that cautions fell. Late erase it Wilkes-Barre. Oh win. If we'd Iran hundred laps and of the green it works for a the end I think that we would add a shot at Baylor guard there. But the cautions came and he was faster after the cautioned we've been on both sides of the spread spectrum at Darlington the car was. Really really fast for fifteen laps in the it would go away. So we've had at least two races where we're real fast and faded as we ran least two races that we. Dolly might be able to win if we wouldn't get any cautions and got cautions. It's. In order to win races you have to read faster ever race and that's what we're working on. We don't expect to left in the any of these things we expect to race in two home and it's gonna take some time. Well I think is certainly well you can't be this close this close up front and honest way without them. Having a lot of to get a good luck to you today. Give the team showed a lot of promise and is getting closer and closer to Victory Lane and his day will come there's no question let's collected Jim Phillips. Stunning loss on Alec Wiki qualified seventh floor route to today's race Alan he had some trouble yesterday. Yeah we certainly did the first two days your run in oil and everything was going fine and how are off the track in turn six yesterday in mass the car up and and then went and did the same thing again a second time and it. That's pretty hard to take your sort of embarrassing for Meena made a lot of work for the crew but I think they've got the car back in good shape then. As you know I don't see any reason why we can't come back and still have a good round today with dessert Ford Thunderbird if we do do well. I'd say they really deserve the credit for getting the car back together. Give us your thoughts about this racetrack. Well it's very challenging track there's plenty of places that make mistakes in their values talk either either spun out our crash terror and you get I have to really try to sing your toes during the race and and stay out of trouble that's going to be one of the main things is difficult to pass and and these cars are 800000 pounds heavier than the cars it would normally run here they just react a lot slower a lot differently and it's definitely a challenge and like do that thank you that's Alan clicking he goes off seventh this afternoon. One of a man or is always give us the top. Up the starting lineup on a road course is driver Terry robot the in the Budweiser Ford Thunderbird but that's not the story here this weekend Dick Brooks is with a. Well I sure not to Terry love Bonnie has won two races I believe at Riverside Isa don't call a couple of times there. And I had a little bit trouble get started here for some reason on the first of all tell us why your back is worn a black and and what do you think about the racetrack turn. Well it's pretty easy to get back here on display at spun out qualifier and a half though it at a good level and on this stuff. So now we're back here we're ready to be a tough race is so of course our defense on this commitment a quicker way back to the front. I expect he'll do that before it's all over your mood just a short comparison between this and Riverside. There's no comparison rivers that's a piece of cake compared to this. Plot that was short and out and nine bigamy just a little bit better version of that before that but. Coming there on analog era. Well maybe there will later they won't hit last he says it's going to be a really tough road course for them to get around here this afternoon let's go back to Jim Phillips ever standing alongside Ursula Griffin raissi he just keeps rolling along like old man river yesterday Iran and south west race finished second. About today Herschel. Well I feel real comfortable you know we tested yesterday afternoon we were. A top top of the field as far as speed in the car felt real good so I have a lot of confidence for gonna start back quite a ways but. I think we'll this kind of wait and see what happens is going to be I know it's going to be a little more crowded and and of course all of the field will be a lot tighter today you're one of the few drivers you raced on streets and road courses there's nothing you can use in road racing. Well I like it by average does admit I do think it takes. A lot of driving skill. You know to perform all the corners and everything and you have to take care of the equipment saw. There's a lot different role but I like both. Hopefully we'll do really well good luck do thank you are. That's Herschel McGriff. And Sonoma California MR and live coverage of the banquet foods 300 let's go back down to pit road as the feels about set the fire near the shaft then. I'm back to Dick Brooks. But they were gonna get sort of villainous things somewhere another I was born and his fellows do the Stan grant still and Darren Darren is done very very well and on road course races he started out that a way he's practiced up a lot of it. This is a first timer are very few times he's been cards as heavy but he's won a couple races on this racetrack probably got as much mileage knowledge on this track is anybody here. There goes a little bit history on yourself and know what he's back here today. Well you know I've I'm familiar with this track it's a hometown for me. I think these cars you know it's it's taken a lot of time to get used to the 3500 pounds but this track is very tough on cars and I look to see yeah. A high attrition you know race so I can just keep my nose clean for a good two quarters this thing I might be good shape at the end. Now do quarters UT started having at their estimates of a good luck to you then was to Basilan thank you. Now we talked about the different strategies as far as getting around this racetrack Barney hall. Some of the drivers say well do it the way Bob bombed Iran's driving school indicates it ought to be done other drivers like Darren brass field has its own way of getting around this racetrack is on particular line and others Davey Allison you have a great quote yesterday said. Eli Obama's do is wait very but he also sped off the racetrack and I'll dispassionately inside and Matt who knows okay it was going practice yesterday that might indeed be the way to do it. Let's take a look at those who are in the field and those that did not manage to qualify Stan Barrett did not make it into the field.

Film far end radio. Preserves the NASCAR Winston cup series. Good day golf bag and quit lose three. A hundred. We're back at Sonoma California desert. One international raceway and they've always just. About completed that first of two laps before they'll come loose here this afternoon let's take a swing around us at eleven turn road course. And me to generally covering reaction out on at this afternoon first up to cover this the action and turns one and two let's go to Joseph Moore of Hampton Virginia thank you are a good afternoon everyone a beautiful day here in the fertile fields of Sonoma valley. And a lot of action will be watching it this afternoon it turns 12 and three I'm sure after going past this position of the speedway the climbers will breathe a sigh of relief because it's a tough part of the racetrack. At the end of the front straightaway they come underneath the champion bridge didn't hit the first turn. Which of the heart that left hander and it goes uphill so steeply uphill in fact the drivers cannot see over the crest of the hill you're it turned over to. We saw a lot of action yesterday in the southwest tour race cars that got sideways or turn around here pass turned to the cause problems for the drivers to take it. See it once again around the corner at a course that collisions and problems as they passed turnover until it's again a short uphill climb about teamwork. 300 feet long the short chute before they pressed the hill they get short white America. Rhetorical retreat no hard drilling here at the side of the street life all the inside the racetrack played grass a lot of area Philadelphia Flyers to keep the car going to throw. Building inside the racetrack helping outside a dirt embankment pizza cars on the racetrack a lot of action we saw yesterday were looking for a lot of here today. It turns 12 and three. Not many corners on this course or anywhere near like just about everything is totally different to cover the action ethical and we'll be calling the top of the hill appear terse 3 AM four and five let's go to Fred Armstrong the Portland Oregon. Thank you party good afternoon everyone at beautiful view up here this is the highest elevation here at Sears point international raceway. Turns three and reveal the final climb up to the top of the hill a lot of race fans coming up here are some people having picnics this afternoon it's gonna be no picnic for the drivers if you leave the course up here you're gonna head right into about a five foot embankment. Of foot dirt there's only about two or three feet on each side of the course of the drivers leave the course has not a lot of room that there's really no place to go with a come through this area also racing should remain pretty much single file leave it on the pace lap. The cars says they just came by a few moments ago had this sort themselves out and come through BS's single file turned create a left hand turn and then it's up about another forty feet in the air. To turn 3-D what we'll hang a right. They'll go down a short chute and begin to head on back downhill but make a hard right hand turn and that's turned up before they start the steepest descent. Their tour here at Sears point international raceway is they have gone downhill they prove over the right thing hit torched turned fine. And that's one of the most vicious turns on this course here this afternoon to cover the action that disseminate. Let's go to Dan Hubbard from Anaheim California and vicious is the word Barney that is a downhill right hand turn. The drivers to take it flat out in third here imagine going flat out on a downhill turn. Now right at the exit of the turn. They are met with an uphill climb and it is immediate it is ban is now they hit that uphill portion so fast the friend in the targets like the steering goes like in the driver's hands. After they crest the hill they plunged down into turn six and I emphasize the word applied to it is a left hand turn six downhill also known as the carousel. This left hand turn six just keeps going and going and going in the dryers contend week. Turning to the left until they go underneath the Ford bridge here and then make a short shoot a body quarter mile stretch on the way to turns out that. Bridge sets up really the only semi straight away if you will Obama's two and a half mile layout. Out of the end of that straightaway that's what we'll find Rick Benjamin of Davenport Iowa. Thank you Eilat hello again everybody we're gonna see a lot of these race cars today we have a lot of the course of problems with the north end of Sears point international raceway. But the coming out from under the Goodyear bridge out of six an uphill. A quarter mile or more. The road takes a little bit of a left take king event the drivers oh looping right hand turn. It's more than a 180 degrees to send them back for the south and the racetrack uphill all the way into seven and again uphill out of seven. It's a wide sweeper that they startup feel to crest and begin a series investors to go back down the backside of course. Yesterday southwest tour race lots of action that your a lot of passing a lot of drivers trying to get to the inside a route the car head out of the way so they can make the pass and we'll keep all that action for you here this afternoon. The next stop will be atop the Winston cup series bridge that. Looks down towards the turn ten and eleven area coming pastor Rick Benjamin they'll look at another set of ashes and that's where album best record howl New Jersey its position. Well thank you like good afternoon everyone s.'s is the proper way to describe this portion of racetrack after they crashed that little uphill off of turn seven. Billy get a downhill run a very fast in treacherous downhill run to. A series of quick left to rights don't come left through turn eight right through eight days left through nine. And head downhill towards turn tend to get them back down towards the start finish line in various sections of the racetrack. It's very fast. These are very quick and buried so I'd stay sharp turns the drivers who have their hands full to keep all four wheels on the pavement and keep from coming into contact with anyone else I don't see how any side by side racing will happen through here as the field comes down moving through. Side by side getting ready for the start again a series of four left and right hand turns PSAs we'll call them at Sears point. I'm our final member of the broadcast brewer's position atop a tower that is used for drag racing events here at Sears point. But it also gives him an overhead look at turns ten and eleven Ralph Shaheen of Sacramento California. We'll be hearing from Ralph as our afternoon continues he of course has coverage there in turn ten and eleven. NASCAR Winston cup racing except of field there 54. Road course event ever in their history here this afternoon. And if you go back and their record books Barney one thing that does jump out after it the fact that if you don't start twelve or higher. You don't get yourself in a Victory Lane every race has been one on the road course by someone starting twelfth there. Higher that's a change here today the way this course is just to put it into perspective for the fans are listing all around relation to us this afternoon. That this is so different that it has Julia the driver's telling us all day long for the guys that fall out of whatever. There's so many places on this course where you can run off and it's not like Riverside or even Watkins Glen where you get off the course and you have room to save the car don't run into anything here. If you make a mistake you're gonna pay for you could have been something on the car you can break something on that race car and you have trouble. There may be only one or two places on this entire circuit 2.5 two miles that you can get often pretty well say the car otherwise you're going to be and it briefly put us proof. And a lot of drivers have already turned the cars over here is just extremely critical but our guys in the West Coast guys are the best in the world I think they can get it done. Elmo Langley pulling away from the field looking for the green flag. I can we're set to go racing here at Sonoma California. They had to drill more and turned warm up plot Rusty Wallace he's not the end sidelight Mark Martin climbing the loop and gets out of evidence to go back of the cycle bottles they climbed the hill that turned over to single plot except for. Why do caucus I think a big pack of traffic near the tablet. Millen sort of recoup all of the inside the race course the Bill Cooper car watt Evans for the puck in the back machine for a five of the cars and car. Don't look at the hall here. At the top of the hill. Other find out the beginning to drive away leaders already five million creative breathing everybody single file leaders upload the hill after turn five to still Wallace at the point Martin. And Rick erratic third LA and look on the fourth spot followed by wall trip there through the carousel and all the way to current time. Rusty Wallace and mark Martin's setting the pace Ricky Rudd is next in line at third the car single file leaders starting to stretch it out. Bill Elliott is more Darrell Waltrip is Smith Jeff what I'd next deadline Dale Earnhardt is seventh Kuwait he would take pity straighter back on the course is tonight. Morgan Shepherd is to add your leader Rusty Wallace said he shortly answers in the essence now with him tomorrow night's over Mark Martin Wallace under the Goodyear bridge that has Ricky Rudd Bill Elliott then about six. Right hand I was. Had the turnover in line still Wallace with a free mind lately. Insurance dad first time it stated they got a deterrent to an area that second fastest course on the racetrack Rusty Wallace leading money. Now as the voice of Ralph Cheney who's covering that area going towards turn eleven. If you're new to road course racing here but your mind you're again up there can be a caution flag. In one section of the racetrack without caution being shown on the entire two and a half mile layout. This past little moment that shot up there on the corner involved Cooper Richard Petty late speed. Troy Beebe was involved they're so cute Johnny crabs all managed to pull away. Jim Brown is now in front touched off an unscheduled stop put your update on that shortly as the cars climb the hill. Rusty Wallace comes off of turn grille about Hugh Carling son Mark Martin everybody's brains son who's single file it's gonna be Ricky a lot of the third spot and Bill Elliott dropping in the fourth. What car breakaway Dallas they open it up to about five Carling as they get downhill towards fly. Second time around fielder coming out of five it is Wallace starting to open it up just a bit of bottle or car length lead over Mark Martin. Rick you're right now starting to challenge mark for the first plot Eliot all of sports fan wall for a follow guide her heart and collecting fat yarder on the latest turns out. Ricky Rudd trying to reel in Mark Martin rod widely recognized as one of the best road racers at Winston cup racing he's about three colleagues behind Martin. As they break it down ship returned seventy Wallace who later marketed to ride that kept Eliot waltrip whose fifth Jeff what I've heard part of Allen collected an extra month. That is moving from seventh spot on backed down from. BS is Dale Earnhardt and Allen who. He's going wheel to wheel for a moment before falling back in line single file very much we'll get the spot then we need. It's greater than mortgage. Couple of the mothers it's. Flat out of port Garrett they just tell us the right coming into turn ten setting the job. Wallace has a healthy lead of about. Fifteen point colleagues as he comes into the number eleven Corvette as a vicious turn out several cars have already been on pit road and one of those was damage that would certainly been a contender here to win this afternoon was carry the body let's find out what happened and let's go to the pits. Here's a lot of in the lobby that first accident. Yeah I'm glad to have the right front of the Odyssey battle damage to the right brother Jerry about his dark bit more of the underlying he'll be back and report service does that make this next lap. You're chairs for international raceway Sonoma California Rusty Wallace continues to leave the bank with foods 300. Good tussle middle of the field is now uncle Wiki loses a spot to Dale Earnhardt. But then shuts the door on Kenny schrader tried to speak five but there are a couple of cars now with noticeable problems here comes Terry love body back into the pits and Dick Trickle has slowed on the racetrack and update from Dick Brooks pulled that trick. Roland Phil Parsons. Car got together a little bit and at the accident they had earlier I don't think got together nominee had to go to somebody else that was sheet metal damage got. She's now been against tired. How many things. Trickles probably never come back and do some more work on is bound and help them grow and I am. In one of the lines to. We talk recognition later being getting shuffled off course feel it going he's right back up in the top seven great positions as they work back up to. Fourth pretty good battle going on back in the pack for several positions let's pick up the leaders on the course. Rusty Wallace hits on it turn for the good battle for second now is breaking Rhett goes through that corner of having a hard right turn but he's got Mark Martin all of the backside of the good battle for. The second justified keeping an eye on the top three here is Rusty Wallace and boy you really see why now why coming out of turn five minutes. Little bit of breathing room between himself and Mark Martin pillow at all by himself and fourth in the field makes their way to third shot. Wallace leading by about six garlic is equivalent of the Goodyear bridge that mark and run haven't quite a battle and now rod has taken over second spot. So Rick you try to move the Quaker state Buick up around mark Martin's car in his second. Bill Elliott dividend to get billions for the body complex back Darrell Waltrip is Smith right battle going on between Kenny straighter and Alec people like you that's a race for eighth spot as the leaders at the bigger break. Leaders now separating themselves by the rest of the field Wallace moving out to about seven comments over love myself enough to violence on Martin's in third. Then five Carly expected Bill Elliott that seventh place battle isn't that good just provide an Allen. They don't like doing now right through nine has more rides rides that are unlikely. He won't quite get there they had their way now. United States champion he's got the flyers in the track as they ripped through turns out. Chosen leaders come high geared towards the start finish line they'll put the lap on the board Wallace brought in Mark Martin match the front three. Bill Elliott who's running in the fourth spot right now Darrell Waltrip run staff earn artist six jump codeine seventh out of pulling teeth. Penetrator is ninth tenth now is Anderson eleven blocks to Morgan Shepherd to Rutgers twelve Sterling Marlin thirteen. Fourteen this Davey Allison fifteenth Rick Wilson sixteen this Harry Gant seventeen spot here at this juncture of the event. We'll believe Terri Fisher machine caught out of my meal bonnet. Carrie Fisher part of the West Coast rubbish you've done well but probably not nearly as easy secure however were the other West Coast. Good qualifier I'm not it was a matter of maybe weigh in Bill Cooper the 25 starting spot. He goes by us now that car really. Beaten them banged up after that first lap altercation he's probably instructors here of the Bomb Bomb Iran school of high performance driving patty Johnson called how to get around this racetrack.

And it turns out they job and run all over the backside of the client machine Rusty Wallace. Ricky Rudd closing in northern half correlate that hard right hand turn. I'd say slow hair pin if you will not nearly as quick as the first turn at pocono for instance which is a high speed here and but it's allowed Rickie radicals that are within 34 correlate to the race leader. Brett O'Donnell has been on pit road for an unscheduled stop Jim Phillips. Does that by the watercraft lord the lord you.

Let Wallace go single file well it comes to the warrantless rough ride on the backside about two feet behind the rear deck arrest Wallace. They start delving yelled out now that's short shoot and make the right hand turn and turn pork is still Wallace and run and now Mark Martin join that battle with three cars only Rusty Wallace nailed turned five laps. After lap after lap and Ricky Rudd said. Whatever you can feel I can do better meet all of the facts. After the cardiac client cal and Mark Martin start to make it make our battles that go underneath the bridge. On the carousel to turn seven Rusty Wallace is set the pace all the way so far and now Ricky Rudd filling Wallace's bears they come up on the floor tired Johnny grabs. They swing outside Kravitz still Wallace would run right on his back deck lid as they hit seven. Mark Martin brings the throws like Carolina and attitude of making a freak out about what they all get my friend Bill Elliott and take our legs back and forth by nearly as long. To be here right now. You'll under acceleration. It's about two smiling son right now flawless opening up to Arlington on runway opens to Marley son Mark Martin as they come down milk. Standard and Wallace know the kind of like gonna have to lead over. Later single file once again down and it turns out everybody staying on. He also worked their way back towards the start finish line this'll be my number eight on the board. Of seven before our laps in this 300 kilometer race. The leader as Rusty Wallace she's got three Carly talk Ricky ride at seven correlates back to third place Mark Martin Bill Elliott still running in the fourth spot. And then June now three now four seconds all the way back at one car spins patch count on call Wiki spinning in turn number eleven. Others trying to get my Davey Allison merely lost the rear of his car to avoid having Kuwaiti Michael when he had straightened. This year export back out. I mean is again on the racetrack with a spent a lot of time. Track for the Wiki the master here this weekend the had a problem with their he's very lucky didn't get tagged as he spun out right in the middle that vicious turn eleven. And keep them straight line problems aplenty here at Sears point international raceway at Winston cup tour their first ever visit. Do Sonoma California. Lot of smoke from Dale Jarrett machine he's on pit road a lot of smoke from the Ron you saw card he's in for service but they're still concerned as the problems with Allen who Wiki Dick Brooks. Well the crew standing over the Waller target our standard on all ready to go over the wall they were expecting and in the last time. They thought you had a flat tire. As the download the report around the racetrack it doesn't look like he does he came in Mumbai didn't stop and it fits when all by this time. And their talk and trying to find out what they think they're wrong with a card and just missed the chassis years got a little bit too much rear brake maybe this news. I've read and I'm in many within about two laps led less than he ever greater Seattle. On the carburetor that and talk about mourners and had to change a carburetor on it so he's back on the racetrack and run well. Dale Jarrett takes his car threw that ball back to the garage area where we'll find repaired and get it back in the race and keep tabs on. Let's check in which implements protect dog they've Terry nobody situation he doesn't have any. Suspension damage just sheet metal damage to talk to temporary census steering Dalai. But. They didn't have still have seatbelt damage to the right side failed Gerri follows in the transmission they think they have found a link at the rear of the French presidency. They haven't play you know play a little battle here at Sears point in Sonoma California the sadness is that with a lot of green a lot of drivers very cautious about could they race and race really tight on him. It's been a heck of a show so far Rusty Wallace and Ricky run everything given to planned clinical work here this afternoon so far. Alan Cohen here fear following the fortunes of his machine is running back in fifteenth position right now after those who spends just moments ago meal bar that says this is a tough racetrack because. Yeah because of the biggest thing I think about it is not forgiven at all. If rivers that are what is going to get off the racetrack and as the boys walking women going almost riven the guardrail it's bad that. This place here there's very few places you can make a mistake. And get away with it without really care in a car. In the place that makes it happen is almost critical parts of the racetrack everywhere that place is there no place to get off the racetrack so. No I bail out come up before they get off the track here you go a lot of trouble but to run the kind of speeds in the consist of leftists don't take in favor Roger gonna or whether over at all. Steel product heart breaking through turn number eleven gives us a new leader your Sears point. Ricky Wright makes a move in and around Rusty Wallace and their climbing and nobody could turn one to run shows like five to. Colleagues now Rusty Wallace is they hit the green but comes through the corner listen about two car lengths out in front of Rusty Wallace Wallace now come. The takeover could turn three feet run opens it up once again they go down the shorts you know Mark Martin making a lot of pressure on the backs out of all of those regards heading down hill towards turn five leaders in the downhill right hand turn five and is run opening up about five garlic T press thing else. Goes down into the left hand turns six. Flawless and second mark mark really has been handling advantage but he loses a little bit of horsepower when they go down the source Fred's seventh. Ricky Wright takes a look at the Goodyear bridge over Wallace and mark got to be impressed with a run Mark Martin started eight years so far. He's using that short straight away up to seven feet breaking Barry White he's been all over the cars directly at a lot of right now he's given Jake the Rusty Wallace at the battle for second heats up. Bill Elliott back and forth Darrell Waltrip right fit leaders will be BS is now run out. Well putting them. It's like tires and Paul Martin gets loose. Moving internally gets straightened back out for the most. The Wallace now Ricky Rudd legal road might well yeah I like the big guns out of turn ten. What has an advantage of about a second right now over Rusty Wallace he is one of the sweetness on road courses more than sheer racism Riverside. And of course you wanna Watkins Glen last year he seems to have adapted very well this Wallace is falling back just a little bit. In the second spot Mark Martin still rides third the only car we're showing in the garage right now is Dale Jarrett to see if that works is caught up for him. I think. Tim Phillips that they're talking do not want to. We caught up with a third who try to change that transmission all the parties Pontiac but did have a seal leaky in the rear of the transition occurred about trying to change the transmission. Dale Jarrett car. Pick up the leaders on the court. Finally open up that lead to about five Arlington park we're still working on another Rusty Wallace machinists and make the right hand turn down the hill but what continues to build that up. About 12 differential they had down at 5 o'clock in the garage that morning line. State's clean watch out for Ricky Rudd and that's just what. Afternoon run about a ten car length lead over Rusty Wallace Mark Martin again heating up the battle for second Mark Martin all over the back. Ricky rightly too much for the Goodyear bridge jump the short straightaway torque seventies coming up until lap traffic he's opened up a good dozen garlic son Rusty Wallace. We've got Mark Martin right behind him. One of the parents were watching Darrell Waltrip who's been running fifth clunkers car rolled showing a lot of smoke out of the back of the the last time by. You're got Darryl under the Goodyear bridge now slower that he has been running a recent black. As a leader runner bonds. The trying to overtake traffic. I feel bottom line. Meanwhile we now want to start coming down turning out smoking heavily on the back into the car. A definite stand your rear end oil coming up from the cars they pass under the bridge. Regular not all of them. Don't get any money yet thought of anecdotal evidence. So they'll make a move Ricky Rudd will to put veteran road racer Darren grass field a lap down Rusty Wallace now holding off the challenge of Mark Martin. There's also a lot of activity and around the Darrell Waltrip that area Jeff Hammond is on the radio. Our position here is right behind the pants and now we see Walter bailing off the of course near the entrance to turn eleventh you come around a long horseshoe turn. Towards pit road and they'll be attention riveted on the tired Chevrolet. This is a Chevy Illumina although there are some Chevy teams here using the Monte Carlo this weekend the crux. Plus you've been there you know. This thing finally. The front of the cars there's also other smoke coming out of remember Julio. We are jacked up. They haven't found yet there's no little or no final inning it just in a minute just just finish Ritter comes in right in front of him. Walking down and away he pits on lap thirteen finish traders car is also being attended to right now they're dumping fuel than change the right side tires on Kenny schrader and put him back on the racetrack. You know we said lap thirteen and making a stop on lap 212 right now for both Slater and walker took a couple of Hendricks cars are. In the fifth. Foreign tire change for Kenny schrader they go all the way around about regime and then brought to the little white out here and even though this is a road course the fuel. Opening to fuel the regime is on the normal side the left side of the cars here because of the way they approach the pets here in California. And I as soon as they return if you're I mean Turner's racetrack yeah. To the right and simulated Dylan you know down south but they come into the pits and that was left inside the car keys later thank Jane. Arizona starting with. Little emotion back and forth in the car and man they dropped it down most want to go on visa consulates voted any senate armed men are going back and we're. We are Sears point international raceway Sonoma California NASCAR Winston cup racing for the very first time out here for the banquet Bhuj 300. You're due to an MRM radio what our live coverage. Developments on the racetrack with Iraq getting around so very smoothly efficiently oftentimes overlooked Marty we've talked about how many races he's one of how well he's done what. For whatever reason we talk about guys who like to on the road course you talk about Mark Martin will now make a move and heart breaking procedure inside of Rusty Wallace and trying get second spot. Wallace will challenge him back but can't make the position payoff. We've talked about Martin you talk about Wallace who talked about McCarthy oftentimes were heroes name gets kind of lost in the shuffle that's not right. He is very smooth racetrack that had more than their share of problems in 1989 everybody thought that might be one of the toughest teams to beat for the championship and indeed they wait may well be before the season's over they're getting their act together but when you put him on road courses we saw at Watkins Glen last year he can do battle with the best of it just seems to have a natural feel. When it comes to physically getting within a race car he's proving it here this afternoon. He is a leader. Rusty Wallace had been running second that's changed right now mark mark rabbits lot of weight loss felt like the third and won't go there while it's being posted fourth. Dale Earnhardt shows up in fifth position six would be gentle giants seventh Morgan Shepherd the eight position wants to Joseph roughly have a good run Buddy Baker started this afternoon. Right behind him will be Davey Allison Sterling Marlin. That would be the way they're running years ago while the start finish line early in the event this afternoon. Five point six seconds now the advantage for Ricky Rudd over second place Mark Martin. Let's get an update from the Darrell Waltrip that's what's good got a big crux. Are gonna Jeff Hammond right now there are a lot of heads. And uses explain what happened Jeff tells what happened to Darryl start. Pick up the latest is done got to tell you really can't for the transmission can have a way to download an extra. Well under severe lightning. The romantic look let's landing on the economic activity on other things will be okay there's got to. They feel pretty confident about it aren't any idea. And a long long how long what they're gonna do in case something else happened over the net and they just about every senator and. Just join the broadcast only a couple of cars have gone out of the event here this afternoon. In the garage area Dale Jarrett and Kenny traitor traitor out here just a moment goes to show in the two cars out of 42 starters and still get forty cars out there running finally caught up with Dale Jarrett dale sitting on Jackson's control. Well it apparently does something happen to the transmission there were still out work in the back in Poland transmission fluid was going out of the Alpenfels a lot of smoke some news just to run out of reserve for loan from it and turn. Unfortunately calls working pretty good we've made it through the big wreck there called working rather. Also petty traders JG transmissions also get. Problems this transmission replacing it right doctor doom. Verisign is Richard Petty trouble attorney's sex Richard Petty has gone. The carousel legal left hand down a million weighted waging a body slid off the course. And he gets clobbered the tires here just at the foot of the embankment towards workers now are starting to go down. It does not look like he'd choose your situation right now pennies trying to acquire the car back up and maybe back. On course Mark Martin has meanwhile has made a pit stop he gave up that third position Rusty Wallace had moved back in the number two spot and Wallace has been off the road with you forget the story there. Mark Martin is coming in look like for four times and they were a little bit and get the tires. Continental and. He just felt that he had won the 100 million common and coming up things next can't afford to have any kind of war. Way to get around here is why he does he's got a flat right career this problem when mark Martin's car let's follow up again Richard Petty up there. Richard Petty. I'm fired up the car again came up the tires he's probably somewhere around the turn ten area. In turn nine right now this. Like he has come. My body damage. We'll find her more now there's hardly her concert at the same time. So Richard Petty is going behind the wall. We you entered the pit lane he'll come to the attention of Palin and the crew. Ricky Rudd meanwhile takes the Quaker state Buick around put your overlap on the court. This will be lap number eighteen for Ricky privacy comes past the pit area and torrid start finish let's get a word on the Richard Petty stuff. It looks like right side tires so tomorrow on the STV Pontiac. But JD right side tires on behalf of the Peabody the left front bit there is a lot of damage to it also they brought to bear down aren't has been brought it up on the left side. They're gonna take all four tires don't Richard pennies guard on the left side then. That driving it off the vendors in the way on the left side but according to play another tires on it Richard Petty should be out of body weight down to what. We're seeing some very early pit stops on many of the leaders Rusty Wallace is suddenly on pit road they're changing right side tires looked like it maybe a four tire chains on his car let's go track side. Finding them. What hey yeah. A good. I could see the upside to our names. Gardening and lawn like wasn't mark Armstrong week obviously it was flat but then we'll have a we'll we'll check this in the minutes. Which he wrote continues to set the pace here and Carl Hurley. What happened do rusty start becoming sir. I think good enough money as you mentioned earlier these guys don't know exactly what kind of feel my eyes are gonna get you thinking. Riverside pretty well. It's. Got some some you know you go off the other side Evan and I think your. And with a fuel mileage and if you got just a little. Right is slipping back just a little bit it's probably a good a good mood everybody's gonna have to fit another few laps anyway. Did you feel mind you certainly don't want to run out here as they're also bringing ready and he's gonna come in just now. I hear directly in front of us Larry Rick Reynolds hops over the wall he's the crew chief for Ricky writes Quaker state you're in here comes the race leader. How uncle Wiki just ran off the course moments ago but gathered his regime back again. But ridership first stop the crux is getting a good look at it. I as those seen in many prominent I think they're doing the same thing you're just gonna take a safety precaution on. On the racetrack and remembered is like I said earlier he can't afford around this racetrack your history so I think they're just checked and feel they can. It's done and got the left side tires off of just about got the field and put the web site back on and get ready to go. Drop reload and you'll go back out of the course the leader it now becomes Bill Elliott Dale Earnhardt moves up to the number two position will be on pit road here shortly we'll be back.

Bill Elliott continues at this moment to show the way Dale Earnhardt moving in behind him. This in the midst of green flag pit stop preaching stop moments ago for Ricky rudder was the race leader. Mark Martin. Rusty Wallace is in. You're tending to the FTP potting actor Richard Petty and administrators car behind the wall and you're just joining us along the way. He along with Dale Jarrett and Ronnie saw when it first service moments ago here comes out of Kuwait he. He's in for service from Paul Andrews on the crew they'll go to the right side about automobile let's check it will be garage area Jim Phillips whose chatting with Kenny schrader. Getting a lot of guys we're gonna become what's wrong when it well. We must messed up transmission and we come down to them up passes over there and unite here and it was there so we'll. We posted on animals I've known him. About the condition of the track so far. Pranks they ended don't skip a little bit slicker and Duff tracks tracks finally got his hand picked up my drive to yeah I think they'll do a good job. Let's get introduced to a few of the Folgers Coffee Chevrolet. Think there's something that might have been and all the drivers flavor here this afternoon as the fact that we did have so many accidents we first came on the course your Thurston got for getting practicing going off and she remains still feels on the roof. Of course that makes drivers feel a lot more carefully very apprehensive about this racetrack. In the start of the race today I think they can use their hands full effort to enforce the kind of settled out things will be all right Dale Earnhardt is getting his fifth service right now feel like. Let's talk a bit about transmissions for a minute here one of the big get development so if you will end of the road racing his fifth tranche mission you've got the George Cohen now. Most agree replacing a warm water transmission the charcoal you can operate. Without using the clutch pedal you basically just push the shift lever forward and you're either going to hurt down to the next here I was talking about that with Bill Elliott. Well. In Jericho worked out well I came on your head it around the world war and which Jericho Scott's right years and it. No and it'll play. Maybe a little more of the news then a more. I'll with a different happening here. But. You know Barrick yet what you need you they look like they've put a lot of desire or can hear. This guy. Good reliability and I'm like that's great got a pain. Now Bill Elliott that Susan what are you feel about it just the Jericho transmission for Amanda was not a normal road racer in the case of the Obama. He said that I would Jericho always the best stuff for they've ever made with a without a clutch. Where you can use that he left but that's the biggest thing ever help me on road courses. We came the came out this Jericho videos and fortunately the did she never had detected. You can down your pitiful grovel mode chip enabling one they've only effective lever you better be ready for go to next year because. But in the past Leo bookkeeper to grab shipper. We get ready than you showing your religion and dear to your return regret that thing is move into the next year's we've got to kind of be careful don't ever. That's going to help me morning thing and more so right now my right leg out a still can't walk it back or like I used could do it so if anything it really helps me here now. Phil Elliott is on pit road just over the stuff. Thanks retains enough. Aren't due out thank Susan a lot of feels they can drive inside the left side. Unocal is okay. If you run is gone back and believe he has really getting around the sports UNICEF and they've had a good. Pit stop I'm only go to get back out there the attrition rate has been very lonely three cars are being shown in the garage area right now Dale Jarrett is out. Kelly Slater is out of Ronnie saw has parked his car up on the course but far out of harm's way as it apparently has mechanical problem. I cannot cure so he will be out today so we're showing only three cars out of the event here as Darrell Waltrip on pit road let's collected at Brooks. Sterling and is also outfitted. Just then one by. One of stars say here's my. Little bit out underneath software. If they still battling someone just not prevent another dramatic change right side they're not on the left side yeah. In fact they're gonna gonna gonna gonna come we're just gonna go on there tonight now wondering is this where one. Right here again it's just that it they've changed more time in his car and time from the Pentagon. Lake speeders made his pit stop just seconds ago all Ricky Rudd has re inherited believe feel honored as the first service from the wood Brothers through. They got to just say Ricky Rudd has taken over the lead now Walter's car now that the board sits on pit road the board begins to smoke from beneath the automobile. Like this it's got enough I think we're probably gonna have an answer this question just a minute Jeff Hammond got out from under the car camera live. They certainly got. Even there we got out of concern that we got started here. And going down that road. Shepperd we'll keep the car in a straight line all the traffic we'll get bias he swings into turn number eleven here we may see him making a stop on pit road in the come out of the former green card in the Morgan Shepherd for the scary ride there for just a moment but so far the races and basically clean no major problems on the course at all for the drivers but still the pit stop for Morgan Shepherd. Ali and I think it's just a routine stop for the right side of that community out gasoline and stuck a water jug and give him a little drink they've got good size loose. Well and put it back together to look at slow and no problem right where I dropped the right side coming around on the left side. So the service record tire change for Morgan Shepherd. Meanwhile Ricky Wright continues to show the way he's about to put a lot on the Modesto California driver Ernie Irvin. Let's pick up Ricky run on the racetrack and you ride using the middle part of the racetrack you'll lap it turns out it's been really interesting to watch these leaders work turn seven but here's a challenge for second spot just what I did Mark Martin right behind him. Like using a creative lying through seven swing sitting inside as they have a short straight away they're door to door for second box. Side by side in the I decided that's no. Why aren't Smart move. Then the second now as they head through turnover rate we'll run will be in the third spot and Rusty Wallace is closed right up my nose to report is ahead. We're already into the. An area. I'm coming really are come. That battle continues to Rajon alabaster but it seems as always they weren't your possession out there on the racetrack if it's whoever gets his tires over that ripple strip almost under the dirt is able to pull away. It's really interesting to watch your line position on top. He made some pillows across the racetrack. Literally looking straight down. It turned numbers eight and nine and music. Red and White Stripes kind of like the wall the outside retaining wall on many of the southern. The drivers setting her left side and right side tires are plotted and you're correct they are trying to look. Either the left the right side tires depending on the corner on the very well. Sure they get the car back on the surface quickly jerked the wheel of the right. As they had returned hate to say the same thing the right side we'll talk under the it's very easy to look at that and tell who's really must were in the car. They've got those wheels on the ragged edge. He's the only problem at Riverside river troops there were so different got up there a lot of time to reflect hitter or something help him out of the car not the case here. It's very strong run for Ricky rode in the early going here this afternoon at Sears point international raceway in the plant which fruits. 300% for those having outstanding run continues to set the pace here right now fast Ricky yesterday what do you need to do not even drive this road course. Well I think it's a daily. Once you learn the limits of the car and how hard you can't afford to run and stay on the track and not use them right. Then we can race each other out like just first rate setters having pretty much done. You know sort of a hot and I feel you know and nobody really gonna know how hard they can. They just see guys. Different faces a run and now I've been iteration if they do we chose the right place at Holloman air no one really knows. Thoughts of Ricky run but he knows right now he's got a hooked up that he is getting around this course. We are 25 laps completed your Sears point international raceway Sonoma California. Eli gold Barney hall the entire MR improve and we do need not to the full assessed and announcers bring you. Coverage of the banquet groups 300. Next weekend back cross country to pocono international raceway for the better highlight 500 need to be more about that is our afternoon continues. At the moment it's been eight and a half second lead Ford driver Ricky Rudd over the rest of the field. Rick and management from your vantage point of seeing results. There are a number of different lines being utilized rather different race leaders. As we watch them come through turns seventy Laver Everett right can't turn the cars come from more than a 180 degrees to get from the north end of the race track back itself. Right very smooth that you pointed out earlier he relays the right side tires of the car on the inside early and takes a very early inside line. Many of the other hot runners and Mark Martin waiting a long time making it very late apex is fifth in the middle of the racetrack almost halfway through the reporter Jeff what I did the same thing then they cut it down tight to the right as they come to the end of the quarter. The set themselves up and get a lot of things right away. What's different. We watch Rusty Wallace come through here sideways. Treating this wars and dirt track more than anything else really interesting watching the different. Tell Walker's car has gone to the garage area they continue to work on it he is standing atop a small platform you're just left to our Booth watching the progression of this race. Apparently was a little bit disgusted earlier he waved off everyone would get more talk from the moment perhaps a few minutes we'll get a word within. Walker has to be thoroughly disgusted this will be two weeks in Raleigh said not major problems courses a major problem here this afternoon for a news. Currently. Planning the women with a cup championship and anytime you're standing in the garage watching everybody else go by you're losing these valuable points. Meanwhile directly in front of us from our location here behind pit road we're able look down on to be Ricky Wright hit area big crux is there anything. Shouting over the last few minutes with the crew chief Larry Mac Reynolds and everything looks is complement that deck as sir Ricky Rudd is on the racetrack. What's going on and rightfully so it does seem like he's. Well it's been so. We think it'd make lots and lots of caution you know especially in the early going but tonight everybody settled down sooner. Concern field. I certainly doesn't it didn't really say anything stranger and thing getting vibration and Anthony just said you're right yeah I mean you know he's sitting here. You know winning keeping panicky about a eight to 102 lead over mark and rusty you know hopefully leaving. I think everybody is very happy you know especially me I'm getting most money's money for another thousand. It's still earlier nick Bruck says there will wait and see what happens eight point 67 seconds. Eight point 67 that's the advantage currently enjoyed by Ricky Rudd over the remainder of the field. Good spirited battle on the course right now between Sterling Marlin. I'm sure a lot went right and as in the Buddy Baker car here this weekend and they're battling for position among the top ten let's pick up Marlon. And rock and on the course we're watching him come out of turn Kenny why they got down into the area here they trick play out finally gets. Don't run into one of those drivers who really likes road racing I asked if there is really such a thing as a good road racer forged just a good racer in general. Well I think fortunately that's probably what got me there right right here is ready realized that I enjoy road racing and I'm not sure he. Realize I've ever raced here before but I didn't rangers' attention. And Miller coming from the motel right Atlanta where they don't ignore the track is much less now and I'd want him. At that point you are for the first time I have never been here. Mentality that I got all the way up here you know felt. I would think it that was the reason I haven't gotten a ride you know like anybody have a lot of respect. Army of the road racer and hopefully I can it happen. How big might it one of the great stories of the weekend running a yard everything's dry run for the trip every road course in the world. Like so you look somebody that just plays and especially all the way out here in California Olson's got Glavine has never been here he's doing great job out there this afternoon. It continues SA seven and a half second advantage for a Ricky ride over second place Mark Martin. Rusty Wallace third then Bill Elliott and Dale Earnhardt that's your top five lap number thirty pit stops continued for some good journalism for service right now but. Darrell Waltrip was looking up in the garage area or repairs are under way to discard the crux. Well is a nasty bit disappointing you get this close and points and playing other seasons get halfway over and these kind of things happen and then they happen occasionally this little bit strange thing that's funny to me and I thought you know more about not do except you're standing here wait what happen. I don't really know good day. First all star blown out of the race. We came in left and then it got some rags around every their own thing and I think it makes for awhile and now. What happened there isn't running out of Greece now and it cooked itself. For whatever reason I think the boys had broken case so random but I'll be here box car. I'm here. We will get it fixed get back racing events we do for today but not a very good day for us. Darryl isn't you know if you know everybody noses are our deal but this is a part of racing you've been around long time and you've won and lost them. Stuff like this so everybody kind of feels about it but that's part of it I guess and I really has done. You gotta thank the good the bad again the news in the hope but I don't know government wants. I straight at bat out and let's begin good fit as a big disappointment we call ahead all the good chance to win in straight today Eleanor on the real hard and done. There have been other day will be a very good pocono next Sunday night we'll get America I'm sure you. Now walker food for the moment is out of the view this afternoon John cramps has also gone to the garage area called for the day here. At. Sears point people wanna say Riverside raceway you know how hard it is to keep from saying now. One thing about Mark Martin. He is now just six point six seconds down to Ricky run with a over the last couple of laps. He has jumped off just about two seconds on the lead that Ricky really enjoys let's pick up Mark Martin because obviously he's getting the job done right now as we near halfway remember. There's 101000 dollars on the line. From right guard has the right guard half great challenges and effect here today so we'll maybe mark trying to get within shooting distance of the halfway point. With that money on the line here just a short while let's pick up Mark Martin on the course and he was final full hearted life. 35 Mark Martin got appointed a little bit lose almost lost control and able to gather up. He's chasing Rick you're ready to turn seven mark Israeli got the hammer down he's closed it up on the left are record heading into the middle of the track through seven. He's within hailing distance of right now as we exit seven a head down looking good you're breaking. What is also got a lap traffic in front of him Dave Marcus in the smoking bar talent pool. Right in front of the leader right now I think. Senior leader as they come down. Area now. They want Ricky Rudd is really driving as hard out here this afternoon he is throwing the car left. After ride right to left and being able to keep it on the course is still getting some outstanding lap times here. Well the course of attested to his catching some traffic in different places we can see a whole lot of passing practice when the cars were out there but he has got to look out. He's very comfortable on this mark Martins and right now shows up there about six point seven seconds so we. Was just about saying he isn't gaining that much but he isn't easy. Ricky Rudd was leader Martin a second third still Rusty Wallace for Bill Elliott fifth right now I'm sure you aren't part six Jeff pulled I'd settle for. Want to Sterling Marlin Joseph Ruffin is being hosted eight night. That's Davey Allison rounding out the top ten. Would be Morgan Shepherd still posting 41 cars on the lead lap so some pretty good competition is still going on here this afternoon let's pick up the leader on the course why don't. Is through turn five he goes through your right hand down yelled out fresh they know why he didn't care soldier's six and he's got about a fifteen car lately you know Mark Martin Martin T. Really strong mind he's really in the leader. If you run in his trademark green card to keep racing Quaker state Buick moving up by Dave Marcus kind of remark like that market has turned in a very strong right here this afternoon. Two cars Alan collecting here's Mark Martin now moving into turn seven he's got a problem. Or car build a bit but it looks as though Ricky Rudd had things all go away from home. In turn they pay coming. To make the pass in lap traffic now the way. 100 day mark Vincent in front of now. The reality though. There comes Ricky Rudd to the inside of Dave Marcus Marcus running into when he first possession. He does shuts down the inside I'm Ricky rather modest not gonna force the issue right here he'll bide his time and trying get around Dave Marcus they have towards turn number one. He's still really is smooth the way around this racetrack I asked out of the veteran Herschel McGrath. Well you are constantly man handling car here but you really have to have the car working good and I was here and tested about a month and a half ago. And we had a car running very well not as fast unlike Baghdad the other day they feel pretty good and then we hope do the other big government senator do. And like all my and I am. We'd like to be enough heart rendering again. Personal grip running well. Good battle on the racetrack now Morgan Shepherd and Davey Allison. I'm just rock possessions let's pick them up for ninth and tenth place down through BS is coming up on these Sterling Marlin car marlin is not the case waving his hand the traffic is they don't fly this little gold will be a marlin is off the pace it's Morgan Shepherd leading. And Alison like Carly. All those positions as they come down. Those cars worked their way through turn eleven now housed Morgan Shepherd leads Davey Allison might just about a Carling and a half. Working our way now a lot number thirty. Warren 37 will be the halfway point again that right guard halfway challenge on the line here today 101000 dollars up for grabs there. Directly in front of us Darryl Bryant in the group awaiting the arrival of Sterling Marlin in the sonoco cars he limps around a racetrack. Heading down towards the pit lane right now we'll get an update as she comes in first got here and just a moment or so meanwhile the league continues to be in the hands of Ricky Wright. Who's running through turn number eleven. Virtually flawless run forum here today here comes Sterling Marlin now for some local culture of machinery Oldsmobile to a halt let's go to Dick Brooks. Was driven out exactly what's wrong in thinking of James they love Shaq and Karl. Got a good laughs tonight. Well I got all I'd rather do that Danica looking better and find out what's wrong witnesses say do I find it very well as Carlos Silva Jack promoting this crew. Would take a look at safely confined to probably get him back with a right and that's basically the oil underneath the Moneyline maybe there's Iran's dictator rockers nothing but there's an awful lot all torn up underneath I think. Here it's your point international raceway Rickie run closing in on a 101000 dollar bonus as he leaves here on the you're right guard halfway challenge he's going to beat the Goodyear bridge towards halfway. And turn seven not unlike me. And every night. You Mark Martin and the car Dave Marcus Marcus now holding off Martin as they move. Overnight. But there is a big difference right now as they come to within 50600. Yards to the start finish line. Ricky Rudd still has three and a half seconds on the Mark Martin right comes passed he'll take home 101000 dollars less than halfway leader complements of right guard. But all of a sudden. That last lap for Ricky Rudd was some choose second slower than the previous ones are minute forty. Laura my last lap and Mark Martin continues to close as they head up hill towards turn one and it. Iran takeaways they got a turnover rate bond market has not knowing what this blue we for the quarters here turns one and then he saw the car from side to slow the racetrack. It's really jumping around on it. But it's allowing him to chase down Ricky Rudd could take as much force. Live from the speedway come on aren't really crashing through turn three that time he went up on the we're in the dark mark got up on two wheels now it's heading downhill towards live home run a story. Applied over the hill and the six foot right now is a question mark because he's way off the throttle. Some reason. Is not driving through. 56 as part the other competitors and Mark Martin is catching up perhaps there is a problem developing on the run out of we feel like come towards seven last night by I think he lost time because he hobbled badly here at seventy apparently missed the breaks early and he got way I have a great night last night. This time though very smooth back to a normal racing line on the inside got about twelve highlights of an advantage over Mark Martin that they had you with your room. Coming up on the back of a lot of scar right in front of you'll find the smoking Allen who would you settings. Get right now the attorney mark into turn eight about two seconds back now I think head down the night on the back. Slower cars. I'm Ricky Rudd still setting a blistering pace doesn't seem to be all that much concern down on pit road let's go that route he isn't that pill. Well I am I have this thing you know I don't know finance things to learn Reynolds do you look it's Solomon as well it's an. Looked like he might feel a lot return to grace and well designed. Ricky Wright having just gone behind the race day another lap car Alan Cole when he. We see a lot of smoke now from behind the co Wiki Xerox machine as they work for deeply Winston cup series bridge. Ricky Rudd pulling away by Kuwait he's problems seem to intensify. And that's unfortunate because here's a man who was looking forward to a lot of good things here that we go back Michael Wiki now. Happens then it turns seventy alliance the automobile being driven by Carrie Fisher from boring architecture galactic. Nailed the brakes hard to get fired. Fisher has been sliding more and more than seventy did a complete 360 at the middle of the speedway gets it gathered back up furcal gets viva they're off racing downhill. Carrie Fisher is a nine year NASCAR veteran who since 198614. Races at Riverside. I'm three up at Portland international raceway in one here at Sears point so he knows his way around the road courses built covers Rusty Wallace in for service joke we'll have directly. They haven't called Wiki car thick brush. I came in they're gonna ring rusty lost scarring and here I think now I'm on the fact that Rooney sent out. He turned me any surprises and I'm ready to midnight thank you guys aren't and NASA didn't they just below the line out of Cartagena. Change the way did. And then heroin and these are well last time I. Hello rusty had to turn to get in front of him but then there was really probably both down in changed four tires and golf. I'm there's oil on the racetrack can turn number seven there is going to be an all of course caution. Now displayed again we told you earlier you're just joining us on a road course many times you see the caution put out. Only one particular quarter where there might be an incident. But that's brought the turn number seven and a lot of oil is now down on the racetrack. Eli we're watching the situation as the corner workers blue route and tell the drivers to move up a little higher on the street life. Perhaps this is an outcome of this bid by Carrie Fisher a moment ago we've been watching Fisher coming. Seven dirt track it and hang in the rear end out of that got it right hand corner last night by he was way too hot. Spun the car completely get furcal had a jam the brakes not to get by him so far the corner workers have not made a move. Toward the track and try to get to the oil dried out. We're waiting to see just exactly what they will do the last couple of times fighting fierce wallpaper mobile has been throwing a lot of smoke out of there that commercial crap that they be contributing something to. After weeks it. Cautions on the speedway with a fortunately afternoon a full course caution is he like pointed out they're just a moment ago it came out on lap number 39 unofficially for oil on the speedway. And I imagine we'll see just about everyone on the racetrack how this new procedure that NASCAR has come up we have. They of course had the pace car picked up the entire field. Reopened Ricky Rudd will be first on the pit road this if we cover this stuff. Value was about the first one to stop when he got that it got the right sign off the thing all right they get the left side lose the right size tied. They definitely exciting card just to make a regular stop I think no one thing is that rusty Wallace's car. They came in changed four tires on his car already there I'm really gonna have to do that anymore they've he can snow on the racetrack can make a five time and a big good. If you read just goes by is unmarked cars aren't dropped then he goes away Bill Elliott sending got the last sign off his car put an. Right side back on. Why go about another rescue lost car there's really no reason for them to stop. They've already done. Going to be right back and another man. Coach Jim Phillips and visit the pit road Dale Earnhardt came and got four tires on the Goodrich Chevrolet also at the fifth suit Larry Pearson got more tired. Also it is don't run a driving Buddy Baker story done a good run this afternoon he's getting bored tired also Davey Allison visit on this in the pit road. Terry love's body gazette reports iron. Under caution here this afternoon quietly look. I was looking about what you scarf parties come and again. And this time the cars are sitting up on min Max stands and doesn't look as those of a hurry to do what they were carjacked. They are there. There is oil driven from. I've just run on Jack stand still I'll hold the car up they've got they mustered four guys over there now. And they're putting Greisen transmission he got a great. And her company Grayson the transmission so evident is generally. Nice that we can better than sitting early this afternoon just about everybody in the field was hoping for some kind of a caution flag get a feel tight back definitely get lucky and get it. To change a whole complexion of this race. We are Sears point international raceway Sonoma California MR and we're live coverage of the banquet foods 300 don't forget next Sunday we'll be with you from pocono international raceway.

Close on one half. Looks like we'll frank saying snow cold front and real good I think the seventh place and and just I don't and they know what's going on there they're known for some wrote god got to what's Conan is coming up next violently broke ranks and broke off. What does this racetrack. It's a daisy you know he's that's they only tell and I'll Sampras many. So many turns and ease up field and the other is to be on the tell his old man but and it's only does he was first and I hear all it would have been routed through this. You don't pull them back. Well look actually thank you now back early money's not a racist after the the surge of roughly up nature how they're running here after this round of fit play. Pit stops and after this caution flag came out a moment ago road is still league posted as leader rusty Wallace's second mark Marge show's third fourth would be Dale Earnhardt fifth bill Elliott's six Jeff Levine and in seventh position they're still posting Joseph revenue running very well there Morgan Shepherd would be eighth ninth Davey Allison rounding out the top ten. Flakes beats are quite a few drivers having a good run Harry Gant is still on the lead lap and eleventh. Bobby hill junior now shows up in twelfth position. As they work around so they're showing fifteen cars on the lead lap. Elsewhere on the armor NASCAR scoreboard Busch grand national series event he lashed out at Orange County speedway and route one North Carolina Jimmy Spencer led all but ten laps he left the entire field. Tommy Houston comes home and second ahead of Rick mast Kenny Wallace and Ronnie sue over a good run on the post cereals car.

Ken Schrader regime on pit road opening up of Folgers Coffee cart back in the race Darrell Waltrip climbing back into the tide Chevrolet. All of that machine is still in the garage area. Not a good eighth place run for Joseph rut when he's running my Buddy Baker Chris goal machine here this weekend. Jim Phillips I'm sure there are smiles and not an area. Well Charlie getting guys just checking out the statue flooding last few that's he's had a good run today through Jones and again we're in we've been right just smooth consistent place. And try to get the shot European media hopefully some sort farm. We'll see if it works out. Get shot guns and wallet and let them. That's generally the case crew chief forward Joseph welcome today jewel of horse. Debasement drove last week Joseph wrote this week and play makers just go on again. Thanks to are beginning to pick up speed move off the course right now as we get ready to go back to green here at the start finish line Ricky Rudd as a leader Rusty Wallace getting really I. Anxious to get after him a lot of Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt the green flag is out of they take to determine. One works Natalie and slammed the racetrack he's fifty lap cars ahead Rusty Wallace meanwhile as track. Traffic Taylor an artist one who gets away he's run a full beard down pretty well. The way it's Ricky Rudd everybody single file for the quarter of personal look grip on another car in front that's Roy. Little less drivers. Baylor heart albums lot of puddle where Deco what you lot don't go side by side for the lead for the quarter now they stretch it out single file there at Kelly okay. Clive field why did the downhill right hand turn five it is right at the point Earnhardt takes about half three different. Backfires trying to get my love Bernhard being very aggressive driver at this point and want to hold up the fact why it feels like now. Underneath the bridge. Dale Earnhardt really movement on really getting some moves underway to chase Ricky Rudd as they come out from under the bridge net or seven. Earnhardt quietly sifting through the track Iraqis on the outside arrive challenging for the lead here at seven. Two lap cars right ahead but it's still low water Mark Wallace had now Mark Martin dropping back support come down now through the answer is running single file to. Are still running ahead of the leaders to run veteran like Ben Wallace on the roof over my. Failed pondering an attorney general of the engine that pulls on this time biases they come out Earnhardt takes a look at the outside. But factor here is going to be the demographic Roy Smith cars are art course outside Smith spends around. Dave Marcus just misses him the lead cars picked their way through McGriff got by he is not on the lead lap but he is the first car coming through towards the start finish line. I'm Rick Iran managed to get buy and hold off the challenge of her heart but right Smith loop they're rounded turn number eleven it was a close call but. Maybe there won't move of the day for Dave Marcus missing Smith's machine it was staring him right there ahead on. The leaders worked their way up towards the hill what you but still. Try to get around commercials look great they all come through the quarter. Now dale earnhardt's sitting right behind a little distance going back to Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin. Now Rudd looks to the inside of the left no room at the end they all get downhill par five coming through five it is still regret nasty in front of Ricky Rudd are hard sensing you may not be disclosed to the front ever again. I don't want making it. Under the bridge on their way to seven. Earnhardt unheralded early Iran really putting on the show for the fans as the cars move back up the short straight away toward the right hand turn seven. But establishing two car lengths over Bernhard commercial program the last the racing line he's going to go all laugh. They're riding like you get fired up its Ryder Earnhardt Wallace's mark those sports cars under tight like it has they had outdoor. They like took a quick look on the outside of her. It falls back in line single filed out when they come through Diaz is a very hard right on Roger Crawford just barely missed making contact and that's what got a little squirrelly. Yes supporters and delegates. They'll hold their positions that they got into the turns out area. Run run on the backside first but revved up for the Al. Employment cornered door to door and after wondering why Herschel doesn't move over and let the leader go Herschel lives on the lead lap he's directly ahead Richie wrote the leader on the Taylor on the lead lap he certainly doesn't wanna go a lap down and run knows that. He drops back a little bit here at the start finish line the battle now for second spot it's a bevy. As they work into the corner and get back up the hill. That's what fans Davis and his close quarter racing and we're seeing now back. Back at the turn of the one Rusty Wallace holds on the third spot he's trying to build wider to get around. What Brett Favre in green Ricky Rudd merciless grip come through pre K now we. Wallace all over the are those two cars go nose to tail now they'll hit it in the water off single file as they take to heart might yet turn blue Ford is still Ricky Rudd trying to get a most of the draft Rudd has got to be Steven Hirsch a blueprint which you really can't blame the grip he's just out there race and it is run in the top spot Earnhardt just talk. I want out Talladega Earnhardt for second Mark Martin. Start to get into the battle and started billowing into the five are battle for the lane just ignore it turns out. Virtual book written out giving way to Ricky Rudd as they come under the bridge at start up the hill towards seventh so ride has broken ray had put McGrath a lap down. Here's Rusty Wallace to the outside of RR that brings the fans to their feet here at seven. Our guard down low wallet stuffed tigers seven they're door to door marked as for the Bill Elliott right Daryn back. Earnhardt called the third. Why this fourth calendar this fifth person was right now still running between first place run in second place Rusty Wallace now at the field makes them. In turn nine. Ricky Rudd comes into the turn ten area for the first time when nobody in front of after the restart right behind a personal lives still holding up well. I lost. It rusty trying to move around Herschel to the outside they'll make them hard horseshoe turn number eleven back towards the main straightaway. The leaders still Ricky ride he has disposed of Herschel McGrath and now Rusty Wallace we'll try and make a move inside of the veteran from Oregon. Rusty gets by economic growth will settle in line between a lot. Us that are and aren't or weren't aren't kept fine art art does get five regret those why it's so our heart goes for the end finally dragging its line of credit card. Now let's mark Martin's return to try to get by with Brad again takes of why there's porn movie valiant fight and Ricky Rudd opens it up to about two Carling. Thank you rusty Wallace's second. Dale earnhardt's third Mark Martin all those cars clearing the traffic. Phil Elliott L also getting by Herschel drift out to fish for up for a five car battle for the lead as they head down the hill leaders coming down towards turn five it is Ricky Rudd with a bottom three Carly laid over Rusty Wallace in for coming back to Dale Earnhardt and Mark Martin challenging and hard for Dale Earnhardt for the third position troubling turn three car pulling off. The race course that just a slight contact with a tire wall now it's Roy Smith and it was 79. Ford Thunderbird also the outside of the race course workers coming down to the side of that guard no damage on the car but he is that a dead in the water on the outside of Reading Mark Martin to the outside of Bernhard had seven mark now breaks our heart goes by every play third spot. It all in the quick succession. Leaders through. I'm headed down to the front part of the scores. Market or are trying their best to catch back up to the talk to machine does Ricky rod leads Rusty Wallace threw. First time tropical. It all makes it way down over allotment. I'm there will be an all course caution put out for the Royce mission Roy Smith machine. In turn number three I've had been described by Brett Armstrong leave Ford Thunderbird from the West Coast campaign here. Pulled off the racetrack. But I guess is as close enough to the running surfaced now and it needs to be a caution flag just about two feet off the course of once again as we said in the beginning there's only about three or four feet off the race course here before you get right up to a five foot embankment. The car trying to roll forward Roy Smith trying to put it into gear but he gave it up and he still sitting inside the car shaking his head now to turn workers. Apparently asking him some questions out there for the car capital in harm's way to turn. Three days. We're about to see a rash of pit stops at least we speculate that we are we seeing Ricky Rudd diving around the pace car at the corner he'll take you behind the pit wall and just about half the field looks like they're an come down with a and so. Anybody that might have elected to stay up there right now here come all the front runners on the payroll let's go to Dick Brooks. Various races and try to get back Canada's. Rusty Wallace comes and is now well known up front headline bush in Thailand content so life has forever Roddick dropped his guard let him go. And it doesn't change off court I don't find car. And also 127. Normal people mark Martin's cruiser they can make it all away. There's a little. There's a behind her and mark. There's a tire off mark Martin's car bouncing down the racetrack the bounce is completely over scoreboard Martin lost the right rear tire off the car when he came off pit road. But the back part of the course and does anyone okay. Command treasury tell it back a little while he knew they didn't get in time I'm Mark Martin. Lance flipped his automobile he is okay. Walking away from a car I believe diversity yesterday's market walking away from the car but the stroll lite Ford is up against the embankment on its roof. But Mark Martin as walking away from the regime so evidently he is all right. But that's what this racetrack we'll do your part we've seen it for Jimmy means in practice we saw Michael Waltrip seemingly innocently enough get off the course and next thing you know the cars on a true. They're such a variation in the course of the terrain that joins in some places like going down a banker. If you go often idealists like running often your passenger car the car just rolls overturn don't plus he lost to relook their members of mark Martin's car. Has turned around spun down the course a couple of times. Hits the outside embankment fence they have tires all along there than digs into the dirt and we'll roll up on its side and just slowly roll over and stop on its roof Mark Martin did climb out of the car walked away under his own power so apparently he's all right. A multiple or two incidents bringing out this caution flag first Roy Smith who in turn number three stalled his car. Then Mark Martin and his party described seconds ago flipping his car to attack in the tire wall. I'm now here on the main straightaway wide look there's always going to be a four tire changer Ricky Rudd became a two tire change and now runs cars stopped here. On the main straight as rug pulled out of pit lane and this car attack on the left rear of the inside left rear jump both drivers Levi Garrett car and then Brooks is down they're getting all the notes in order. Gonna take a little time to sort this one out against Holler at me and said we've got up first down there all of a sudden while everybody collapse of snow. That's surveilling him and find out what your what really happened. They're checking out with a NASCAR officials right now part of the Quaker state proof of Ricky Rudd talking with one of the NASCAR inspectors down there to get a ruling find out exactly what they're saying about that innocent we get any further word on it. Be foolish for us to speculate as to what they're talking about right now we'll wait and find out things really happen very. Let's watch a parked car went up through there he is okay he's back here in the pits and hopefully we. For too long. We can see from here that he is very very upset and very very disgusted and I don't play the running for the top free like that I have something like that happens he's got hurt. Slater went back in a moment ago we didn't document we've they did to elect him but he. 26 laps behind so he has a long ways back. Also Darrell Waltrip scar back in the race she was running a number of laps down obviously after the transmission change. But we are continuing under caution here at Sears point let's go down to the mark Martin's pit area I get a further update on the east stroll life for that his condition Jim Phillips OK we have mark mark mark what happened. Well some iron rather. The nets got head taken off the last three and we were playing on a guessing go to jail and whoever whale came. They got upside down when they go on out there like not like a bad deal. You know no no big deal just to the stroke like then burnout and a contingent win in your own up physically. It's the first time for everything I've never been outside and what is better than I thought it would be. OK mark Martin's okay well Mark Martin to laugh about it after putting the car on his roof here that's goodies in good shape but he's. With the situation UNICEF loose are Mark Martin will join alpha Wiki Sterling Marlin John grabs different Darrell Waltrip who was up for quite awhile and wrongly Saul and Dale Jarrett course. Members of the media in attendance today will be voting the goodies medical ward of the drivers suffers the hardest luck. During the running of the preparation for this race there but all sorts of candidates but today at least so far you've gotta think the 750 bucks to be having. Toward show Mark Martin Darren grass field has served just abandon his machine. Near the entrance to turn number eleven of them go to road racer had high hopes here this weekend. But just what hasn't panned out as best you would like he's got an interesting dilemma going right now Barney. He is trying to decide whether we go IndyCar Racing or Winston cup racing he's an I'd like to go work. Winston cup and now grass fields car re fires and is gonna continue on around them. Back in line behind Phil Parsons and Ricky ride but in any event he says he'd like to go Winston cup racing but he doesn't all that's what is gonna do or possibly go the route to the big cars. Well this kind of mixed emotions I'm sure Dick Brooks who knows that family very well. Dick I think his father bought even in the car just kind of play where did he. Is. Then popped in my first race card we went from for a little to Daytona winner in a while they've been on. Supporter racing for a long long time and and he was really liked seeing Darren yeah Phil moderation and they're once noon. I'm opportunities early and there's an open we don't want cars or not you like running stock cars and live out here and in fact close by here. And I have to move back east and investments haven't done yet but. Parents and that he would really realize that there's some of the city. As far as finding the car they did anybody year old. Championship car IndyCar just so they become better practice once a while and then try to get a feel for. I'm Dick Brooks you're down that pit area remarkably Mark Martin is now back in the race. Well it brought the car back up on on on a strap finished banana strapped around career and brought back and looked at it. Cardinal look too bad that. They remember. Davey Allison rent a car after that at Daytona finish a race within so I'd like this could happen here anyone out. On the track and got about halfway around got a comment on the backside or someplace stopped for something in that inning got going against I don't know the exact find out for sure what's wrong. There is quite a bit of some discussion going on down pit road right now between Ricky Rudd strewn NASCAR officials Dick Brooks anywhere what's going on there. Well they're saying that he came he came in and got fuel only and took off everybody else got four tires and Hussein is he went out to pass a stop sign. So I understand anyway that's what the discussion about how they Helen Helen not collapse. Because of that another talking about they wanna analyzing whether or they're saying that they want to penalize them laugh. For running a stop sign so I don't think they've got their resolved anywhere near yet they're going to be at question about it just a little bit longer so lose weight as it comes out. Fully value if you knew NASCAR radio channel and apparently they're saying that Ricky Rudd is still the leader. Exactly the same rookie right now can say exactly. Where he is the lights are out atop the safety car Phil Parsons machine is behind the safety car then the race leader Ricky Rudd we are. The greens here at Sears point got my number 54 we have twenty laps remaining in the lead cars are climbing the hill at the turn over wanted to help market. He's going to wind and hear what you might want to go live run my family. You know Rusty Wallace looking to get around for another lap traffic Bill Parcells and also what. A couple of other cars in front of him Wallace looks idiots out of the race courses level leads the field down through the the water everybody shuffling for position that they had a five field flies into the downhill turn why rod rod slighted towards the lap run opening up his lead. All of it. He'll pardon the rest of the field Rusty Wallace caught up behind. Rusty Wallace trying to get my I'm. Run all by himself but they could not run the the bridge to head towards seven reds got open racetrack and run around out of these players Phil Martin's car. So it's ride your leader now Wallace going by the floor card they've market for the outside but still almost a second Bill Elliott from the outside as well for a third Dale Earnhardt is likely item before. That little problem getting my. Barnes is a mob run to get away now he's. Robbers still only. I'm mark moving around the same mark as arguably the fourth place run. Clear sailing for our literate you rotted he's lying down and turned down right. Take advantage to be in command here via from the package Ricky Rudd is right now and no traffic and everybody kind of getting out of your way back there Rusty Wallace got hung up the traffic and that's cost him. I'm quite a bit of ground although he is now about three seconds behind leader I tell you gotta keep dry out as billowing. He's been steady all day. Long right up there in the top Marine Corps there. The third spot now he's about freightcar. Her heart related pornography here. It's a good return rate probably stayed single file Drew Brees now Elliott you get a good game. A little Rusty Wallace six shot lead lead down to about three or four college. Now that the do nothing edited or other top mark Cardwell also those that failed they come off that quarter. Once again Ricky Rudd methodically adds to his lead lap after lap he threw five very cleanly off over the hill now in the downhill turn six. Wallace goes inside Phil Parsons of the carousel turn that turns next top. I Rusty Wallace for the joint guaranteed handicap drive and Wallace gets himself around Phil Parsons and sets sail out behind the leader in Iraq. Meantime Bill Elliott gonna have to contend with Parsons as they move it at third seven. Elliott in the worst car right in the middle of the racetracks setting up markets for an outside cat here but he got to worry cover the flight was Dale Earnhardt charging right at behind him. Meanwhile now Wallace who was is up to about six. Fine and I had a good run going in the early part of the race now back in the mid march with a ill handling car probably aren't seven we've got driving at least one other race cars cars going every which way to get my babies are you still cross weighs in the middle of the road here and everybody gets my sickly babies not those stalled on the racetrack. Meanwhile those BB machine pulls away others won't talk to the inside and the outside of him and we remain under eight green flag condition. As Troy BP pulls away Davey Allison it's a good drive and get around him. The leader is Ricky Wright second Rusty Wallace. Third now is Bill Elliott that the last car Phil Parsons and fourth places are in March 5 as Jeff oh god you don't get that cleared using in 1988. Ford Thunderbird here this weekend how come bill. I would get I've always had an hour's news you know we are so far behind in the job. Try to get hard work I'm Hal nine got me here. Her heart now won't challenge Elliott let's pick up that panel on the track. We put out about one car like behind Bill Elliott as they go return war Elliot car out of breaks about a quarter. As our shots and those under the rear deck there had to survive an art had migrated run in the top one Wallace really closing that gap up over the league. Check out that battle for third it'd feel how it ended six. Heartbreaking twilight. Earnhardt saving his break relating catches up village for the third spot. Right and Wallace starting this up right now but a good battle for third Elliott has Earnhardt villain is bears as they climb the hill who returned seven. Right setting the pace a little right side body damage on the Quaker state dark. Wallace three cars behind him five more car like back Alley and at third are hard right there weather report. Remembering how. Wallace following right in his tracks now what gets a little. Wallace the clothes that are probably now downhill. Left in turn number nine still a problem. Rides on this inconsistent data keen to be quick on the road course that's exactly what Ricky Rudd met all afternoon. Joseph Reitman is really hanging things that we're watching him go around this course he had the thing up on three wheels to wheels a couple of times to continues to stay up in the top five or six currently no reason and posted in seventh position. We're just sitting here watching cars go around here I'm impressed you this place so it wasn't that much in the first came here because the driver. Especially scared a that we just very leery about getting around the course but as they work around here now they've got a lot of confidence and I. The fans here in northern California and see what NASCAR racing is all about. Exactly and her only the doomsayers of first time we went to Watkins Glen race course in New York for those type. Guard rails right. Making a very narrow tracker that. All sorts of problems all sorts of problems we never had the problems there nor are we really having them here. The only metal as a problem right now and that's Ricky right not a probably in his own car for the fact that Rusty Wallace is closed end to a nose to tail battle. For the lead let's pick them up. Leaders are often out of my you have to carve out. Think drives. We'll very smooth to the floor Rusty Wallace is all over the place it's almost like he's trying to force routed to a mistake there on the way to turn seven. Finally nailed towards seven Wallace right in on the back deck lid of the run automobile owners while custody outside of fans rise to watch the action throughout holding out but Wallace dirt tracks the Kodiak product try to get around on the high side he can't notre titles not to believe. Corporate mountain passes Wallace. Bronson like 1038 balls back. As part of the racetrack. Feeling like meanwhile has fallen back toppled the you know what district court probably get a Karzai but it's again an automobile maker on the right Eric Thatcher who spends a force of the field this Saturday get that fired up again now. The leader sweep back in the term number eleven to put another lap on the board here at Sears point this afternoon Ricky Rudd really has his hands full of Rusty Wallace and the fans really don't know what to watch his good battles back of the pack as much as there is that the from the packets across alive. And so on another circuit around a scorched rubble will be able to hang on. Believe we have fourteen laps remaining as the field we'll come back for the start finish line this next time. Fourteen laps to go and you wonder whether Ricky Wright and Rusty Wallace can keep up the page. Rudd started the fourth spot right now showing believing that we told you earlier in the day. That never has a NASCAR Winston cup race on the road course been won by a man who started from. Further back then twelve position. Rusty Wallace has three road course wins and as Winston cup your career. Ricky reds' last win. Came 22 races ago what Watkins Glen International so these are two proven road course veterans let's pick up on a course battling for the lead heading down. I'm like this it. Glued to the back bumper right Rickie rot is rusty bosses they got their turn to god still. Maternal love. We backed into turn eleven available just about the same Wallace controls when they get in real tight in the corners almost anywhere around this racetrack but you can't get around Ricky Rudd and run he's using up every inch of this thing he's got the card now then. But in the last ten circus around here rusty has laid Ricky really hang that car out I'm sure a little bit more than you want to keep you back here this week back up to turn to. And we were talking earlier today Ricky Rudd wants a smoother lines go into the corners played being forced to really hang it out he returns to a great pick it up why. The short chute heading returner and great until Wallace braille at drive them down inside ride up on the rear deck as Wallace saw as the dark. Run opens it up to about one car like this they get down a short period. Now they get the right answer six of those Saturday they go single file. But what itself out and played coming off turn five and if Ricky Rudd Rudd driving the perfect line around Sears point and that's what makes him so difficult for rusty. Around on the inside the outside he's got a late. Think there on the way to turns up front and Wallace about the exit six they have driven away from Bill Elliott who would turn it pulled away they'll learn how to run sport. Right now free darlings ahead of Wallace is they climbed the hill. And back it down getting it is evident brought against those boot to the inside of seven. This time Wallace takes that in sideline tonight soup but he closes right up on rod as they exit turn seven. This is right still holding a smiling lead over Wallace Wallace getting from the first UBS's. Good luck getting the acceleration off the second a little better opens up and out of Fort Collins is again. Rusty Wallace looking for line is better daylight this techno know that his money on inside them you know it does they following. Turn eleven could be one of those pivotal spots heartbreaking allows Rusty Wallace to drive to the McFarlane gonna happen. Of the race leader not just the Carly put off the corner Ricky Rudd continues to pull away if you're just joining us on our coverage from Sears point here in Sonoma California. Average speed of the moment 75 point 828 miles an hour. Ricky Rudd has led 39 of the 61 laps run so far we have got to caution periods for twelve laps three different leaders of the race today. I've got the 42 starters. 38 have managed to remain on the tractors to cars spin in turn number eleven. That's Richard Petty one of those the other is Dick Johnson. The Australian driver was running well in the top fifteen today. But both men have managed now to pull away from a close call for Richard Petty and outside of the Australian Nick Johnson doing a heck of the job are they running eleventh spot. And very impressive he's been right up there in the top 1250 positions all day and staying up there on the lead lap the fans are really getting their Nickels worth here this afternoon. At Sears point first visit here for the NASCAR Winston cup drivers Bobby masterly RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company in sports marketing incorporated. Is up here representing the Winston racing program Bobby you've had a chance to walk around here and see these plans this afternoon. What kind of crowd doesn't look like it's hard pressed to see the whole place but it looks like from everybody's point that we can't see their everywhere hillsides grandstands everything. Barneys just the right now we just finished like you said one lap following around the outside. You really get their money where their own speaker Howland scream and then there's hardly a place to stand just around this entire circuit. But you folks gotten request. From the West Coast to different layers of the United States that RJ Reynolds in the western division took to bring the cars to different tracks around the country like this. Well certainly it would double points and kept fans throughout the country everybody wants to raise and marry in not turning NASCAR's done all they can do to make sure that we go where we. Think it's much of their credit than in the management here Sears point going along in particular and the job of zero point guard Devin. Davey Allison and Terry Johnson they've been going after each other they got together at seven both cars lined quickly both cars three fire and leave the scene. We're also seeing just quote I'm not come to a stop directly in front of us a lot of smoke from the Levi Garrett Chevrolet Dick Brooks. Well I don't know for sure what's wrong with the car yet it just. Spoken out many good they've raised I don't. Started not change tired and wanted to do it but now they're looking at 100 something on the right rear wheels so I think you know I'm losing it finally. Frustrating day for diplomatic with a lot of unscheduled pit stop golf courses couple. Along with about fifteen other drivers who had more than their share of problems here this afternoon with the goods going down they'll send him back of course Bobby just summing up. All up real quick like it looks like that we may be coming back Henderson Moore right now. I can promise of running the Winston cup fans out here have anything to do with a guy we will be back next week here at home. What else learning a lot out what happened. And then got in on the way don't. And rubbed it placed on it you know what you're saying the right front oblivious Dominican. About ten minutes is sure what it was almost tough to. I don't know what the something why they didn't say but that tire was cut up pretty bad it was kind of strange it was like he got even lucky caught it because it was almost cut it to. That's there was another car that show that in their whoever wants to he's got a lot of cheap little wrinkle up on the machine. In Lubbock coming down a conclusion here very shortly whether anybody can do you think Ricky Rudd Bobby thanks for stopping by and appreciate your thoughts on the folks here in northern California who says the Connecticut race this afternoon. Even oppressed this thing as much as we have. Sure haven't been great road race and I think Winston cup has been I've been shown off out here and fans certainly. Quick congratulations to remind the junk yard day on the you're not used to work in this way either Worcestershire doing great job today. Appreciate. Your Sears point international raceway Sonoma California there will be nine laps remaining as the field circulates around this road course. Michael Waltrip is on pit road for service they're having to peel away some of offenders on what remains of the country time lemonade machine they've got a long weekend. We'll make up their car here and then the other day they thought they would go to their backup car that's their hope I don't machine they decided not to chance next week. They fix the car they have here for this weekend but they've had to do some more work haven't yet again here this afternoon. Ricky Rudd still hold off the challenge of Rusty Wallace eleven all tying out of the racetrack lets the come up. All over the S is both cars heading into wheels off the left side of the track off the right side of the track Wallace all over right now headed for. You run out of. And manipulate data total. Best road racing I think videos have ever seen is going on is definitely a turn of eleven Wallace tries to get inside Ricky Rudd and run again pitches in Los makes you stay back there. And refuel I don't believe in west you'll lose about seven great Carly is a sweep past the start finish line back up from one. 31 little bit too sharp decline of moving outside so Wallace has the poet single mile wide behind Ricky here they come up the hill down towards turn to the hard right turn. Plus my car lengths over. That great Ricky Rudd Rusty Wallace Caroline Georgia head. Traficant to a median Mark Martin right out and put those two cars come through the corner. Massive error free ball wobbles what's sitting inside rubble but not out a short chute part of the breakthrough both cars that they have few cars and run on the nose to tail off the court good battle for the latest run two cars of people power to drivers in the we're seeing here this afternoon at Sears point international is run by Bob Orr. They do have a slower cars that morning the portrait. One car spins at turn number eleven record time the motor craft forward. Everybody manages to go one way or the other and avoid him as other cars begin to head towards the pit lane let Brett go Diana post ball and turn number eleven. And you know barring that turn is gonna if this holds up. I've ever felt it was mentioned to us during the commercial break it's like that last lap Watkins Glen last year again Ricky run it Rusty Wallace. It's worth. All the drivers predicted that most of the passing or any critical passing were two cars are pretty well equal would probably happen in turn number eleven just forcing each other go of their little harder than maybe the leader wanted to the second place car didn't somebody make a mistake. Another driver will come out the other side winning this race if it comes down that well fitted for getting out of the conclusion here this afternoon. Trouble at Georgia Tech jobs and as well off the course and upholding dirt event and all the outside the racetrack became off the corner a little bit too wide rant what all the banking. Because almost on its side but it has come to arrest here while the event but just in the top of the military to use Ricky Rudd crossing the start finish line. Rusty Wallace two car lengths behind them. And again they're heading for another lap around the circuit they're heading for turn one and two Wallace tries to pitch off down the inside to get underneath Ricky rod there is caution this portion of the speedway the carpet. Of course the slow down a bit Wallace falls back a bit about falling behind life. Just a moment ago any fears fulfilling buy that car not a under powered and he's gonna be able to posted downhill but that might cost of problems at the bottom of the our leaders as they come by about one college differential was. Now what goes into the water right behind Troy PDs of trafficking and those two cars as they had downhill there's a lot of traffic any bears won is now very slow through. Through the carousel he should stick to the outside. Troy Bibi is just in front of Ricky Wright. Let's play he tries to go to the inside of Matt Beebe cannot do it this portion of the track. She wants to close right up on the tail end of regular. It is right still holding off Wallace appears won't make the hard turn for the runoff area they're coming up finding these lap car right yeah. Go inside BP gives both drivers and signal that they can move to the low side intern seven again quiet to get out of their life. Because a lot of Wallace again nose to tail like sitting seven Wallace dirt tracks the Kodiak Kodiak. Loses some time derided they had very. Back to the answer is no rusty makes it up put. The quarter short on both side. I didn't ask. Wheels off the track the targets sideways get it straightened out but he lost a couple more Darlington right now in nine. Rusty Wallace has gone back to Benedict. Find out his wallet. Deep into the corner again trying to get out Ricky Rudd and run again just uses up all that racetrack and he can't do anything with a cautions. Racetrack as a NASCAR officials say look they yell out and get that situation cleared up and that's not change the whole complexion of the outcome of the race to. While we are the controversy Australian driver Dick Johnson his car hung up on the tire wall outside of the turn. The leaders took a quick caution on lap number 67. Which means we have just six laps remaining Jeff both times car limping around the Levi Garrett Chevrolet were a lot of smoke from behind him. The big story now will be the tire situation hope that directly in front of us the Ricky Wright seems set to make a stop. We've also looking down pit road rules leave me. Kodiak cardiac crew off to our left getting set to bring in Rusty Wallace and first stop will you are those stops in just the second. Behind the safety car at the lead regime's head towards the entrance to pit road Rickie rather staying on the racetrack. So too is Rusty Wallace here comes the pace car leaving them back towards turn. Number one past the pit straight area I'm missile but lap number 68 of 74. Up on the scoreboard let's go to Dick Brooks. Well I think. The decision had to be made then it was everybody knew exactly what the lead car. As it's extremely hard to pass on the you get further behind it never gonna get caught up you can get caught up like weekend at Daytona Talladega some place we've got to. Double file start you can run now through traffic and stuff. And I it was going to be an interesting thing just to see what the cat and mouse game was. Yeah couldn't find out what they were gonna Dillon read scarred. But everybody else know what they were gonna do they're gonna do I read this drive is going to be an interesting day off and they say you know I raced one Austin since. Now what event man and a fifth in the first person out probably would have been a winner at least have an offer that opportunity to do it but since then I'll stay out now I have to go. We really couldn't afford to give up track position every team we talked to sit for tire war. We'll be worth anything to be in the final laps in this race if you give up track position from Sears point international raceway this is MR and radio. The Daytona 500 it's the race that defines what. World's only motor sports stadium Daytona International Speedway is the place that we defines what a race can be. You can experience and on and witness the next career defining NASCAR moment. Great American race but hurry the 2016. Race sold out so don't miss out in 2017. The Daytona 500. Sunday February 26 guaranteed your seats at 1800 get shot. We are in northern California Sonoma California for the running of the banquet foods 300. The reason for this most recent caution flag Dick Johnson driving the Ford the Australian driver. He has now been helped off the tire wall in turn number three is now driven back around towards the pit area. For attention from the rest of the crew and it'll be five laps of racing remaining. When the field comes past gosh this next time bye at the conclusion of the bank of foods 300 body I gonna select Babbitt Tampa close but no cigar award winner. The winning driver getting 200 dollars from Hav a Tampa cigars and the rest of the MR and crew also ordering a peak performance award for the driver of the crew chief for the team. Making the cool move here today and 500 dollars is on the line and back to battle playing as well. So here we ship time to roll the dice as they say. See what happens in Ohio four laps of green flag racing. Remaining there are five laps to go on May come across this time they'll get the one to go signal to allow for a laps of green flag racing woman. Yeah I got a parallel that is the engine builder and and and probably team leader of one of the team leaders along with the very Dotson 127 car. You guys elected not to fit into. Been keeping up good but you're not trying to close a choice. Well that would make him rest oil field and Ricky hit a bunker and didn't get. Live anywhere and I can't call them today to my plans are better because as we've been trying to take care of the tired coming into the hallway so. You know they can't get around my name. I you've been. He's in an even chance to talk to him now since cautions on wanna rush to say about the car. And relaxing the mind right now said Rick these girls golf but it's just not safe. I've made it. That was a tough decision for anybody to make it and see what's gonna happen now it's. Time. Donna believe Quaker state Buick let us Jim Phillips is positioned there with the crew chief Larry Mac Reynolds married jumped over the Wally stuck up four fingers but the big gulf war. Now you know Ricky didn't really thank him off that well on his car that you know. When he said he thought their professional race thing they do things based on what their cars doing enough tonight monkey see monkey do that it will hurt the track. Are you ready for the finish well we hope so looks like watching him all over Ian. That's led to penalties to crew chief for the road also he's been named the TRW mechanic for the race. We almost seventieth lap of racing former Maine Mark Martin goes off a course on the restart up the hill towards turn one and two but the leaders are continuing on their way. Ricky routed watching Wallace just one car like the Smart as they get down to turn for all of what's really outside they drop at a single file formation now though. Two car battle good verges on the turn five as a bit all afternoon rod that clean smooth flying through the turn. Wallace on the other hand all over the track values and. The latest earned seven. Ricky Rudd Rusty Wallace and Wallace as the whip out as they give out from under the Goodyear bridge their climb the hill towards seven the hard right hand corner. While yesterday outside Wallace tried to outbreak rod hold the inside glad they're door to door they are side by side Wallace on the outside Iraq throughout. He's not as they thought they now are off the track Wallace gets back not let anything I'd ride. Contact as they exit of the corner rod wanted to live in Wallace who's inside trying to teach him off as they reach CS is now three car. Surveys down at turn nine. Rod pulling away now they get five Marlins who turned nine. Down and it turned down thank god let this fantastic battle rages on Ricky run out and run around. Wallace. Rusty Wallace got off the course for just a second there Rusty Wallace right now could Biden nail into I'm sure he had Ricky Rudd given leaves fans something to talk about prolong life time he's lost a lot of ground leader Ricky Rudd. He is now a full second behind it was still plenty of time to get it done their back in one. It's not here a couple away trouble on the main straightaway as Harry Gant and Bobby hill and got together both sped away as a matter of fact Hillary continues on the track. Can't spins toward the infield well out of everybody's way let's pick the leaders up on the course Ricky Rudd comes off the quarter at Reno appropriate. And Greenpeace the left of the right is colonel Wallace all the way up one too tired to detect the verve they go to the searching all the hard. Can't terror threat locks up the breaks for the quarter Wallace got that one car like ride going downhill and turn fly that tied. Right hander right now over the hill the steering goes like momentarily. Wallace just bought for Carly behind some minor damage on the car but he's still giving chase director. Wallace trying to reel ride it as they work out of six of under the bridge and start up the short straightaway tortured seven. This is where the two cars came together last time by. But this time rod has about a seven car length advantage Wallace takes that much deeper into the corner brings the Kodiak funny Economos side with two wheels off the right side of the racetrack. Closes the gap but rod only about to come right back down. The gearbox now. Love left hand turn hey hey. MITRE they've now won car like they come down they yelled. Overnight it's Rodham Wallace running one car length apart. Got to get it turned down flat and again don't let just a little trouble if there are seven there Ernie Irvin has spotted turns seven. Ernie Irvin spins but the leaders are now in turn eleven and work their way towards had a hard tight hairpin turn. As Ernie Irvin clears the portion of the race track where he was other cars will make their move to the inside and Ricky right here on the pit. Pit straight continues to lead Rusty Wallace two laps to go off the margin of seven correlation between first and second. Here's one of the tournament one making the hard left turn it still enjoying a four car length lead. Wallace tries to shut it down tries to go to the inside. Not going to be able to make the move again in single file Ricky run up they'll start of the play black Harley Cooper Wallace Ricky Rudd loses that garlic now as Wallace stuff settles underneath Wallace what's really inside it please please don't Goodell resorts are now thing yet now they yell at deterrent force. Wallace got right up on the rear deck gets nose to tail elite SAS SATA five. There's no question Rusty Wallace has that handling advantage he's able to close it out through the corners here at Sears point. But does he have the horsepower to get the job done down the short stretch all these leaders are underneath the bridge there all the way to seven. Right shows the way as they come out of the carousel corner. Run and Wallace stretching the lead now over Bill Elliott who is third Abby about twelve car lengths back. And run a little stronger this time up they know towards seventh Wallace again go out breaks it takes it in Deep Purple cars slice slow. Wallace says I'll go a little higher thank you need closes it up on rod he's a car like back as they move out of seven. Run a little wide now coming into the essence Wallace causes blood on the part of what. Right now right hand through turn eight day right gets off the corner a little. I better get away by another car like let. Coming in at turn ten Jack as much because they can't try to keep the cars on the racetrack and on the list rusty Waltham. One more time. Wallace wheel drive and indeed try to get on the threat here in turn number eleven now he swings to the outside they'll come off the corner side by side Ricky punch in the throttle he'll pull away and if Wallace can get up there there's already been contact between these two cars one lap to go. As they flashed across a lot of little Rusty Wallace for college behind. Deja blue Watkins Glen years ago for the final lap here's Ricky run it deterrent they want you make the hard left turn up the hill and yet decided to recover soon Wallace tries to grab some real estate nothing's there it'll be cycle while. 33 still single violent rain now Wallace makes a talent sitting inside no Roman turn brave. Robin Wallace almost coming together through the corner now don't go down resorts you bill's basic pilot turned or it's just about a half a Carly played for the final time. I'm down I can help its ranking right up. Last chance for Wallace he had been blocked my ride he's been bugged my ride jogged off the course by arrived yet Wallace still keeps on coming he's got about a two carlin's. Before it catches up Mickey for the lead. They're on the way to seven Rick you ride and Rusty Wallace it comes down to a shootout last dive under the Goodyear bridge and up the hill toward turns seven and it's run by seven garlic since they break first up and run at the middle of the racetrack after watching the very takes a while. Wallace like the back end of the Kodak tiger on dirt track and try to close it out rod he's about to Darlington behind that they had returning. Why don't kind of BS is a left right left right combination luck this time gets through lovely. Leave Wallace had in the left side tires off the track gets sideways. The flyers off the track again interrogate but now with a five car length lead. As they come down and it turned numbered Janet's going to be turn eleven that'll tell a story troubling turn number 1112 are off this feeling all the way up the bank commercial McGrath. But meanwhile the lead cars going through into turn number eleven here's Rusty Wallace closing hard Rusty Wallace about a smoke from the break she goes why would he run holds an inside groove. Ricky Rudd won't try and break a 22 race winless streak he won at Watkins Glen he wins here at Sears point raceway Sonoma California. How they're celebrating whip Jim Phillips at the Rusty Wallace Atlantic Reynolds. You finally did it I'm telling you it's. I never thought this certainly on the Indian. I want to congratulate him when he selling car owners living right Ryan and being very Harold rusty you know I can't say enough they. Always skinny was seeing this kind of celebrating living another Leonard Little the last hole I had kicked the united. My dog has this been area a player Ricky run earn that win that may partly when they when they leave on each other there on the corner and somebody was gonna give him Ricky Rudd just made up his mind he was not going to. Best piece of driving I've seen between two drivers like that in the long long time of the best road course race we've ever seen Ricky Rudd has got to be totally. Just out of his free so to speak when he gets into Victory Lane he's going around the course right now waving and all the fans and I'm sure the fans you're gonna love this finished just briefly. Rebel wind finishing second Wallace and third we'll go to delight particularly for the back when we come back. Promise there's broad international raceway this is AMR in radio.

For Ricky ran his fourth career road course victory his first since 22 races ago at Watkins Glen. Behind Rodham Rusty Wallace artificially. Bill Elliott who finished third Earnhardt fourth fifth won't go to lake speed super run for him a fine sixth place run for Joseph rough and he has a road course racer no doubt about it. We've got Morgan Shepherd showing at the moment and seventh. Eighth were belongs to Rick Wilson Davey Allison didn't like road course racing doing well in mind today and Michael Waltrip they're showing on officially in the tenth spot. While we wait for a moment to chat with Ricky run and Victory Lane let's get the thought to be MR and crew probably peak performance whom over the racial ward 500 dollars from began to freeze in summer coolant on the line. Draw more often turns one and share what do you think. I'll cast my vote for Joseph rough but first time ever serious point even though he is a road racer first time ever with this particular team did a great job to pose a sixth place finish my vote did you run and Fred Armstrong ought to double that show up at a real cool through these corners he's the grueling part of the race course up here and now Rutland network traffic real well this dribble drive all day Dan Robert I would get my vote the Rusty Wallace no one but no one was all over the track like rusty I mean he discovered new lines here. As there's more international but he still kept it on the track. I vote for rusty Rick Benjamin has to be your gear idealize Rusty Wallace went along side of him on the grass to try to get the lead with a couple laps to go Ricky held his ground and forced to to back down I would say Ricky Wright gets the vote here Allen passed quick and not for Dave Marcus from this court earlier in the race down in turn eleven mark he set had someone SpinRite in front of them did a great job as we described getting around bidding continuing onto a good finish so I give a nomination to Dave Marcus Ralph shaking your thoughts. I'll put my voting for Ricky rod having announced here in the past dad knowing that turn eleven as word all comes doubt on the last lap for direct get this goal and made the right decisions and he took the checkered flag. The fellows in the past surge eventually affect. Well we give my vote to Ricky Rudd because he kept the main position in the first place position for Rusty Wallace of your bubble similar caught up with Bill Elliott failed third place today. Well car really work good Salazar and a Fella car without regard eleven whatever war real solid real good if approximate. You know how by at our house select the track got you know I thought I'll try and rated by I had one anybody catch me. No right Erica Carson right I didn't know how hard Iran and its can't let them go all over yet. No radio bit more what I could but still I hardly real by external evidence and you know even if you have been laid to rice turn eleven have been more innately champ. You said coming out your unscathed once they do well no doubt about it you know come out here with a one page you're pretty good guys. Eleven he finished third this afternoon. Let's continue our voting on the peak award I'm gonna say Dave Marcus as well for missing Roy Smith there in that span and turn eleven what do you think part. I have to go Ricky ready for after school all day long via the heat on him. Leading all of this race and everybody took shots at him he comes home in Victory Lane my vote was there and I would get Dick Brooks is thought as he also it appears the race where Ricky rash. Already updated. Excited me is force's cars road course racing whether it be here like Atlanta Riverside and myself. You guys put on a heck of a show again and I'm title death be a part of and I'm back to new artist. Fast lesson today the way out don't turn out to those Quaker state Buick. Wright didn't just click on Taylor the roads into not a great job all the guys in the crew did a good job this is the Bob Riley but hats off dilemma Crennel and all his crew are. You know it was just the kind of a day that nobody knew what to expect going in when I came out here and there. It began a practice I felt really get us a little bit let down myself that we didn't win the pole the car was capable of and I made some mistakes leading get the pole. Barely got Bateman rested get a good job there of it. Its largest rice guess nobody knew what to expect and now was China play a little bit conservative almost tired of one China working too hard. Some of the guys took off work their tires though are so they came back to me so it in the race I was thank you just conserve as much tires Beckett in. You know I've battled rusty in the south and it demarcate dictate too much rather. I would have been nice to be in Victory Lane a little bit easier out really out of work for. Everybody around track kept talking about how smooth you were run turns and and an official at the little bit everybody you know it brought attention to it because he had been smooth. And rescuers slip and slide a little bit. Did you ever. But I know an annulment I almost never turn every lap we probably thought well this could be the last about Barney gets away but did you ever really get the feeling that maybe I'm not gonna slip up and I'm motivated. Well I thought I could be Timothy indirectly you know he had a good car this car was real good under braking handle that better brake system or something that we did. Did the corners of rusty was a real good. In the right handers but. On CNN right handers in my car was better him in the left handers and most everybody sets up to the right and the key factor Gus was running fast and left handers had good breaks but not as good as rusty in nine day was coming off a heart felt like. We can hold him off and I needed and behind me but I knew you gonna try to spending. And anywhere is gonna trust them now elected it was going in against not a lot and he tried Mitt in it the drag strip any Mac backing. We drove up beside me. I would just glad he did that up I can get a shot or buffer when he got to the son Matt just sort of moved out a into the racing groove and and he knew that in darting around pretty good out there and had their you know Alice Peterson Walken went out there but there's a lot of excitement too much for me. I said when he talked a while ago senate then he enjoyed that wheel to wheel stuff and and and a little bit of bank and any any kind enjoyed a racetrack and now I know we certainly did so. Good luck to you never see hear and you guys put on the show force I signed it. Croats are far from victory anyway you like crappy pick award Dick Brooks well I know Redmond got a few I could see an increment down here whether it was good or bad but Redmond got a few votes. And now I know Becker short needs the money someone about a mile. Plus the money does go to Ricky Rudd as four votes in his direction will yield for him 500 dollars from began a freeze in summer coolant. They have a Tampa Philly cigar award winner probably 200 dollars close but no cigar party and I've talked about it. Avenue where about one Rusty Wallace coming as close as the man could without taking home a whole enchilada here today. And the members of the precedent tenants going to be good he's heading toward. To Mark Martin and we had speculated about Barney was is as good as any candidate 750 dollars in the to mark Martin's hands as the winner of the goodies headache award. And the 250 dollar donation in mark Martin's name going to the Brenner Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem North Carolina back to the garage Jim fill up. Should have a cup of Dale Earnhardt dale a fourth place finish today do you look pretty happy fourth railway are really out of the house John zarrella hard and try to get Canada. We Israeli apple applies dark RN NN. Say can send sound elitist really get them noon being more with the leaders while we were day and in the you know early tickled to finish like we did. And a setup man I think we've got to point laid back and now Soledad did a good job and and a stayed on course and it run off course when it dropped will off some of the riveting golf union troublesome. I feel good about. About this race course after you brought it one full race now. Not take 40 rollovers Colorado Colorado forward and one day not to run here at a everybody was a good way forward well than.

Coming back to fifth place finish after that was up. Well after they let it go Lorne had been our side for sure gonna know we started way back anyway get that answer I guess we came up that corner almost last. And had to work our way I'll let that they'd have failed had a good run a car ran good all night never. Had a miss or any thing that had. Bullseye barbecues south winds car care products Oldsmobile. Just hung tough and we just kept working no lanes and are blamed on our way to the front Larry that they and we had a chance to get everybody group backed up. And just had to re hard race and not their thing you know made some real hard race I guess it is the thing today to keep your tires on the pavement. Well all uptight but also allows China those kind of conserve my thought I have some right there into the race when it really counted and it turned out it was really get out here because the the way to caution they'll layer and nobody can going to get new rubber sides saved a little tired. And it played golf all round pick up a few positions about the breaks today.
