Good afternoon everyone and there's a gorgeous day in Daytona Beach, Florida and we are down to it all the practice all the qualifying all the preliminary races are done and now it's time to find out who can win the main event the Daytona 500 biased TP. That's what it's all about. 41 drivers of the day's race is very likely alive forty of those are wondering the same thing how strong is Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet. Plus for sure there's no question about earnhardt's driving ability I think the big question in the race today as is the car is rated a win has dale earnhardt's. Well Dale Earnhardt is ready so too is the cars seemingly we also have to remind everybody that many many times we wrap up our Daytona 500 broadcast by saying I have again the fastest car has not found its way to Victory Lane so many different variables. Can give you the good luck and the bad luck during the 200 laps the 500 miles here. And of course many of the top teams have to go to backup cars prior to the running of the Gatorade twin one to forty fives here on Thursday. They've been working on those cars over the last few days. But even their spirits are high today by the reminder that it was a year ago that Davey Allison rectum practiced. Kind of won the Daytona 500 in his backup cars shall he got strong cars all the way through this 41 car field and it's a glorious day you could not sure warn of a race man into the speedway this afternoon. We're set to get 1993. Season under way. We'll go trackside right now I get the thoughts of the two gentlemen there up on that role Kyle Petty of ram North Carolina won 89 point four to six in the drafting speeds have been even faster than that out here when they've been in competition. Let's get his thoughts as he approaches the 500 here with Dick Brooks. So kind you only get one chance a year to settle the pole for the Daytona 500 it's all gone after that first lap of qualifying and each year you've done it this year. You've been and you've been on a poll Ali. What's it been like. Pretty hectic stated truth you know it's surprising how much it's just qualifying there and how much attention he gets that I guess is the pitcher Daniel for a solid week this is the biggest race of the year. And people are looking for things to write enough. You know this year wouldn't. The in my father's first race not and 500 this year in May come back and sat on the pole it's a little bit bigger and funny accidental trouble keeping everyone in on the ground they got a brand new front in England Jason back a little bit. To get this thing looked up sort of stay we're say listen I didn't run. We know we we weren't slated to and a one point five mile races and we got a little bit better and you know we tried a few different things and come back to guru Warren went 25 mile races an as much as anything I think the racetrack just came around a little bit so hopefully all right. And I know it's a happy bunch of people appear their defenders cross they think they can win a race. A course aside from a few trips to Bristol Tennessee a few years ago when Dale Jarrett drove for the wood Brothers. It really hasn't been until this week that he has gone. Honestly felt he was in a race car that could go out and win if not flag the flag that certainly by the time the afternoon managed Dale Jarrett the interstate batteries Chevrolet. Just missing the pole by that 6 o'clock wanted to nine point 274 miles an hour Jim Phillips is within. We've been fast all league deal what's the thing you had to work till the most to keep this tour approved. Well I think the biggest thing is Akita from cushion now that seems to be the problem and everybody said he wouldn't. Big rear strollers and not not got a good gap for that Jimmy make car in this interstate batteries Chevrolet has been strong enough hopefully today we can just keep it out of trouble and stay at Georgia friend. It's this team's season and that's to win the Daytona 500. I'm really believe we are we had some good runs here last year finished third in the July race finished third only thirst doubly that we have what it takes to win this race. 36 year old Dale Jarrett hopes to put the name Jarrett didn't Victory Lane here the Daytona 500 by his TP. But there's no doubt that we've got the best proper rookie drivers in 1993 it was a tough racing that we've had a long time and one of those has been so impressive all week long here. Jeff Gordon won the qualifying race the other day Winston Kelley is with him step. Up to Winston cup racing and a big lie on Thursday with that win but the question is can you hang with the veterans today and win. Well you know no 125 mile races as bad as good a chance you can have thank. It's still a long day today and you know age is gonna be there at the end we just can't turn around longer it is does suit doesn't work where in cook. This DuPont crews from off of your car needs before this weekend and we're awfully happy we just hoped you were there at the end and then.

Refrigerant fun Bernhard did attorney Irvin running third or fourth this Jeff Gordon hit the side by side. But your first fourth in the lineup now on the Wiki mark it down the inside of Ricky mine running right behind them and seven today to be Kyle Petty and Sterling Marlin double wide behind them jet boat ride down the inside of Mark Martin. Couple spots farther back here's Bobby hill and down three wide trying to move up. Bobby Nolan talks down to the inside of the racetrack and a pie goes Bill Elliott hill little dust off another car now go side by side with Dale Jarrett for about the deposition that he stays in the bottom of the racetrack. And we've been watching some of those cars back in about the middle tax Bill Elliott is one of those he's had a lot of trouble getting in the draft and working his way to the front street there. So definitely had a crappy. You get single filed for at least 340 plus even if somebody lets you back in just no way to keep it up there to back to turn one battle to. Believe it down Lillian signed the racetrack it's Earnhardt once again take the inside wind blowing by can't traitor murder harks back down in front authority ever tried to go with him following her heart throughput couldn't quite keep up so he's had a fall back in line in the third spots running right behind urban of the fourth spot now is Jeff Gordon Ricky Rudd is destined to Wiki Marlins wildcat.

When garage thing colonel Jimmie was going. Last last lap Bernhard legion there was 124. After Schrager let the 23 lap and Jeff Gordon the 22 lap Kyle Petty the 21 lap. That's how it's changing here at Daytona there on the.

Mark Martin on the inside idol Scotty velocity continues to drop backward as a couple of Ford shut down the inside lane meanwhile the top court tighten it up as they race off turn four. And this is the first time this afternoon that we've seen any kind of a separation in the field a front for full Labonte and maybe a hundred feet or more. Now the front three every. Getting the full Wimbledon. The driver Jeff Gordon. Ricky runs for tomorrow why plan. What are not internal warnings and a hard time getting back in line first had to deal with the body killing our he was able flashes night that's Kyle Petty and outside Leiter Rick he's trying to get info on him and allow.

That certainly goes higher heart opening the door Natalie inside hurting everywhere try to make the same move he tries to bullied and furthermore they are holding outside live. We're picky man in this game legal would you go with urban Allen to which he would put out of the inside of Gordon and forced him back outside so it's urban and our heart goes Wiki and Gordon's side by side by two battle for the second and for the fourth positions that they shuffle deterred ever break meanwhile can't shredder that gets open up the lead all by himself giving five complex off turn four. It was a ten car draft their real close together for just a moment ago and all the sudden it's fifteen again this trader with a door to door racing going on behind him has opened up Leyland didn't. Hot battle still for second place Ernie Irvin and Dale Earnhardt door to door nobody gets rich back. The second number one right behind him as well. When you can't coordinate your side by side behind them it's Sterling Marlin Bobby Dylan Jagger and the same way back to the next four lines not fun. Don't get traitor leads. Still. Wide all the way back through about the fourteenth through sixteenth place now here's Allen to Wiki he's gonna drop down the inside of Ernie Irvin they'll go three wide are artists on the outside. Publicly but support right down the inside you'll battled side by side with Dale Earnhardt for the second position now to what he slides up the banking committee for dessert cart iPod they say side by side. Before a typical Wiki and Bobby hill I'm beginning to rubber ball while before governor Jimmy means and Jimmy Hensley is done for the day to read it was late. I was just accidentally and I feel. Here senator Winston Kelley it's yeah. It's genuine happy. I'm Irish no less on women however are tired and don't talk to Motorola guy who does a lot of smoke wobbly leverage our went down disturbing going on no more cold. Not shy emerging remains is that rove weakest regularly got hurt and told partner and I get ready give me a fugitive Palin Foreman now. Let's say an apple reports alone hold running a pretty good to die just like I may turn his call witnesses that's when in trying to have some time doing that just got to wall in the. Second retiree to amusement out this afternoon. Of all the teams that just don't need that kind of luck to be mean to Jimmy Hemsley. It's just been one of those weeks out of turnover for the strike to complete lap number 32 of the leader is kept trader current artist second call Wiki third earlier report. Jeff Gordon six Sterling Marlin and Johnny Miller running seventh and final reading now in the eighth spot ahead of mark mark Ryan the rounding up. His Dale Jarrett. Single file draft now has at least 45 cars in its past Jimmy Slater. Earnhardt and now we can take them back into turn one then the next second packet traffic with the reclusive like their own Chad little. Hasn't worked often turn one Joseph Moore who has a pretty good racing going on toward the tail end of the field at least towards the back of the pack. The other is one of those cars Al Unser junior who moved up the tail end of the field up to its high sixteen right now. Also positioned Rick Wilson. But now I try to pick off one I don't look back at the front group of cars is everywhere to stop racing side by side for the moment they forgot to close it off now for about forty. Can't trader at the entrance of the corner now swings the Chevrolet after the high side Dale Earnhardt thought about look at the inside their but here comes dirty air that now at a different bird offer more. He took a look inside elect to stay put weary as it almost looked like don't prepare for a minute Barney and upping their cars covering everything didn't surrealist things. Working wherever their car was best able to handle down low in the middle of the hot hot. I would see guys usually you'll Richard Henne proved here today told weren't I'm watching this story enduring the speedway and at least not quite as pronounced as it turns three of. Four they're really trying to stay single file come into the center of the track Eli wants to come off the bank the we see it sort of walk down the inside. Is it going into the turn this single file. The challenge for the second spot Allen to Wiki goes after Dale Earnhardt but no one goes liberties. Loosen fly like he loses one now two positions as Jeff Gordon slides the high side of the backing down below support of Velika Wiki this is a battle for the fourth position as they come. Off the corner Alec a Wiki getting a little test early to find out what that Ford can do hanging out there by himself is gonna find out hurry whether no matter what make of car you're in if you don't have a drafting. Carter who's around and start sliding back a little bit Jeff Gordon drives on the outside of him back into turn one. You tell us what are we looking at pit stops until the other they certainly they can go 125 miles enough fuel because they did in the qualifying races. I just talked to Mike beam and crew chief bill Elliot Easton about fifty laps on the first off that's a very conservative. Graves if they could probably go to sit through but probably around fifty the parts that didn't stop a little while ago. Candela look at from our vantage point here the towers almost like a view from the helicopter I don't think have ever seen as many crew members in the first thirty laps of this race stand still they just. They are fascinated but what's going on that racetrack the way the lead been swapping back and forth and guys that would be a third first and second they're subtly dropped back to twelfth and fourteenth it has been some race thus far. I'd like an exercise to see how long you can hold your breath also because you don't know what's gonna happen where your driver's going to be introducing this you don't want to go backwards. I'm gonna let us do not. I'm very systematically gone back to the front case in point what happens now in turn one. Earnhardt once again dives down the inside of the track all along and blows my Kenny schrader and Earnhardt back up front. Your friend tried to go third hard again was not able to do it so he'll have to stay in line in third spot behind traitor and here's Allen to Wiki dropping out of fifth spot try to pick up forth from Jeff Courtney. Outside Gordon takes it up to the high side to what he sport down aliens out of the racetrack nobody going to launch what it the next car back Atlanta's Kyle Petty Pontiac but penny stays in line. We're left with 39 laps on the scoreboard as Kyle Petty has tested at Pontiac which just about everybody up and topped it all afternoon with ties to the bottom of the racetrack and drives are. Jeff Gordon tries lie back and move up in the fifth position. They must maintain tires going and I noticed one answer Jimmy Spencer and PP Allison have caught Rick Wilson. What he separated then license three correlates. On the next group of about seventy cars meanwhile Harry Gant we children mean to unscheduled stops earlier he's running 37 any further word from the school then Winston. On the second stop the into all is not leading up to the proper running temperature site blocked off the oil radiators. So it wouldn't get quite as much there and it and he's just riding along they're hoping to stay on the lead lap in the lead draft going to be there at the end. We're watching one of the best. Daytona 500 so we've seen a long long time in the early going as we pointed out the window it looked like it was the last lap of the race the way there again at the three wide going off and turn. Wanna like the fifth position to the outside is Jeff Gordon in the middle was segment mr. Obama. Eight North Atlantic side by side. Her forehand down lol Michael Waltrip will get his Claudia couple long behind Kyle Petty is now he'll abandon that drafting effort not able to quite close and open up you'll slide in behind Bobby hill. Mark Martin Chevrolet and Pontiac and at that for the fourth position now they get the deposition had a turnover at break Kyle Petty Pontiac stays download Jeff Gordon Chevrolet a pie as they exit for. Off the local group that's where Kyle Petty has been running so very well he doesn't again as the Pontiac move strongly backup for the fifth spot that now begins to ring the cars behind them. One man told finds himself on the line and Pennzoil machine that's Michael Waltrip trying to get in line and those screams just it back to. The ninth position making tips now is Mark Martin pulled alongside Michael Waltrip wallow dalliance finally finest best interactive online as they come off. If Mark Martin racing side by side or ninth intent is they come down the straightaway three cars in about five Darlington the fourth place car then another five Carly took Kyle Petty. Finally Ricky Rudd opens up the door looked like what was gonna go along with Walter and try to draft to the inside of the racetrack but rod opened up the hole and now Michael Waltrip talked back and blinded turnover for. With 46 laps complete Baylor heart is a leader kitty straighter rides in the number two position second or third right now that is Allen a Wiki for this Ernie Irvin Kyle Petty back to fifth. And six the rookie driver Jeff Gordon hangs right in their Sterling Marlin is being posted seventh and Bobby hill and junior in that highly Mayer's new brand new race team this year. A genie Donovan they've really put together good when. Had a great run here at Daytona. Front three yep pulled away by perhaps sixty or seventy feet over Kyle Petty who now scoops up in the fourth place Ernie Irvin tries to latch on of the draft and come along with him. Jeff Gordon back their single file most of the racing right now the top twenty seems to me. Just things. We don't look like the front four was laying on Sunday to more recent hey we've attacked back in your instance right awarded north from drifting relief. It's interesting com for a while it seems that it was being kind of tough to stay in line for a long time after a while you've got to jump out and what now. Just drive right here from the fourth position. You can slap back slip back in line in front of Ernie Irvin now the challenge for the lead here comes can't trader and Allen to Wiki doubting inside of our mind Chevrolet side by side of the Ford helped put out on the inside and can shredder will grab the lead now to what he goes to the side by side bet with Dale Earnhardt for second. That's a good battle for second spot that before it won't went off the lows on the racetrack. Called Wiki in second spot now has penetrator who led laps 313 38. And after they aren't heartless to. Watching that segment continues swap Bentley around seven we'll lower the according to an eight spot Bobby Nolan junior tonight this Mark Martin and Jeff what time Michael Waltrip whose eleventh Dale Jarrett twelfth. Thirteen and Bobby won't want your heart myself thirteen there's Rick Wilson fourteen spot now is Bill Elliott Ricky Wright running in fifty. Sixty has Wally Donald backed junior Davey Allison is seventy. Leaks speed and eighteen spot nineteenth is beat Jimmy Spencer car twentieth is Al Unser junior in 21 Rusty Wallace should not talk. What should not rusty this afternoon decent middle of the pack at 21 42 position will be hot Strickland. 23 belongs to tell rely upon to 844 now Brent quote time with a written. Nationally there. They won't host dream Derek pulled the car. Palin Yarborough motorsports and 47 position that we could mean flower colors return equivalent to 48 it's Ted musgrave. It ninth 20 run that kind of thirtieth spot they're posting Morgan Shepherd who of course missed winning the Daytona 500. I just want spot a year ago and 31 possession they will show Phil Parsons 32 it's Bobby look Bobby Bobby how altered his 33. 34 now Jim sauter narrow Walter prison 35. 36 belongs to Kenny Wallace Harry Gant who's thirty separate. 38 place now is Jimmy Horton and 39 Dave Marcus the other two cars that started and now the garage. And here comes quite a few of the car stealing off the banking up intern before to make that first pit stop of the afternoon. And it will come under green flag conditions Kenny Slater comes down its talent which he dale earnhardt's funeral also Kyle Petty Ernie or. Rookie driver Jeff Gordon Bobby Nolan juniors then so is movie Jeff Ryan Budweiser Ford lets them out of Jim Phillips. Nobody breaks his board and Charles Ryan and Scott maybe tar Jay before the Junior Johnson to go around right side Bobby Miller and Suzanne. Michael while Walter who's been dreadful dynasty at all these tires are loaded two tire stop for all these people this is the fifth rose. Dick Brooks. OK in my entire. Here it's they know Jesse doesn't. Racetrack here could have been getting enemies knowing. Now I'm glad he was in Cannes regulars and they got two tires and are still have my. What scintilla. Of cardiac on this in the pit road coming in getting too tired that's lame. Rusty Wallace had Jimmy brings her brings it toward the. To the Bobby Allison through they got to work on the right side of the car Rick mast and for service. In two tire stop for mass group Morgan Shepherd and her service. Along with Joseph Blanton and there again here comes the neon pink Morton under guard Bobby Hamilton and only two tires and gasoline for all these drivers. Did you laugh throughout the school board.

Speedway a one man there was not accustomed to being employed at Daytona is currently showing the way having get to pet that is Derek Cole. Who's driving the kale Yarborough forge angles chicken automobile. Leaves after so many others have already left today and Jeff Gordon Dale Jarrett Dale Earnhardt Kyle Petty they have all my soldiers can be greater. Jon Corzine and throughout these caution nor Jimmy green flag stop Rick Wilson. And also led asked does have her say Derrick cope. We are working here under green we are proud to caution periods one on lap three when Dick Trickle lost an engine. Another run lap number eleven when problems forced the Jimmy had a sweet car into the wall but they're also some problems developing on pit road right now. Belichick it would Dick Brooks well Ricky Rudd centenary started to take off after the pit stop many had to stop Freddy what happened. Dick I'm not really sure it broke Sutton and draw blown late in the pits don't really know what it is just you know not decide the race and attending an effective. Living and working on thank you mr. McFarlane is not enough now that drives some of the system. It's. Playing our racetracks go. Like people are now think Arnold. You always think what a tough break it is for the driver to go out to Serbia's biggest race here but he also feels that. True they work all winter long they come down here intestine do everything they can't and then watch all their efforts as far as wins go out the window real Ernie Fletcher. Mind everybody that Derrick cope pitted on lap number thirteen and he was one of a handful of cars there are actually six cars that came in on lap thirteen. Jury in that second caution period consequently he is able to stay out of the racetrack now considerably longer. Than those that did not pit earlier that's why he has inherited the lead and has yet to make a pit stop behind him his Darrell Waltrip. Darryl drum up number fourteen sold fuel wise he is in the same situation. Jim sauter finished third he also put her on the fourteenth flap and Kenny Wallace is out there also at this point being joined the fourth spot ahead of Harry Gant and Jeff. All of those drivers probably would have been different stops scheduled on the majority of the field. Harry Gant is really had some tough breaks all week long they've been working on a car trying to get right now talking very little bit the other day about have you ever. Won some close to winning this race the Daytona 500. Not all I saw tiger got the white flag over them in the port deal are racing yup my though was Levin never had a problem is that why is that just a hard. This relationship has had headlights look in direct in his all marred the make up. I'm Dele they get got a governor favor lies about your love America aren't the only oil is at two problems of one member of the river like. Boiled over your headline. Perry can't still looking to get all four wheels looked into this racetrack and a he's still on the lead lap have a good run out there although they had some problems with the car. In this race as we set point things happen. They have a fairly consistent push all week as well and I didn't thirty leadership let's check back it up pit road probably one of the rookies in the race is afternoon Kenny Wallace's car sounds and it's an hour to comply talk with Jim Evans said a lot of broken up now from all the Claudia. So far today ninth different race leaders. The record is fifteen. Set for the first time back in 1974. But the pace we are going nine leaders in the first 59 laps at 200 lap event we could see that record gold final voyage. The cars that are shown asked the race leaders there's a pretty good round underway. Rob the place on the back that's the draft of cars coming up at turn one right now led by Allen who Wiki Wiki handset. I didn't dealer it's more important. We're joined by Kyle Petty Jeff put time. Trade will be shown in the twelve position these two cars that didn't make it green flag pit stop running about a happily on the back straightaway back from trader. And Dale Jarrett Kyle Petty there in the battle for the seventh position looked like he wanted to take a look to the inside of Mark Martin on the entrance of turn every break but Martin's slams it down the inside of the racetrack can hold position. They're driven hard to get a handle on who had the best car because as we have talked about several times there's been a lot of leaders in the early going and I mean not just. Second for some of those cars have come from as far back as fourteen. To get up to lead the leftists in this afternoon not like it's not clearly just like drafting using the draft. And the engine in this car so we've got some strong cars right now from fifth place on back again their back did you warn turn to now. And WikiLeaks attack still there's simply got. It's trainer Rex online trader running in twelve trying to grab eleven the way from really he's got no drafting help there's nobody behind it who's gonna have to fall back in line with Taylor and Elliott running right. Longhorn tighten up behind Dale Earnhardt that'd be the battle for the seventh position as they shuffle at the turn every break also won Carlos live way up the banking it's definitely not almost lose. The commission Moneyline. Here come the cars back off a turnover for a while Darrell Waltrip who did it again remember that backhand. We're seeing him for his pit stop now also the drivers Derek Cole. Along with the general Walter Harrington. Kenny Wallace knows we're not good here most recently and now beginning to get into that window of opportunity for women must remember shortstop Derek I don't remember. Man who is given one. Great opportunity to grab at Daytona 500 my ass to you being here in 1990. When he was running behind Dale Earnhardt came around mile and a half shy. I'll Victory Lane and that afternoon and one thing you always got to remembrance stressed during okay we're not really can't. Handed the win so much is that he was. In second place available that take advantage of the opportunity that was given to him. Here's the dirt double Pontiac now just happened in the group waiting Kenny Wallace on pit road let's cover that stopped. They go around the right side you. Making the right side. Ordinary Joseph. Looking at 62 laps complete here's the Daytona International Speedway and today's Daytona. 500 night ES TV and now the field is really pretty well strung out around here. And here comes a leader in the hysterical woman this Donna let's go to pit road. Fair enough. Is not a parent about tangles dollars. They got to work on the right side of the car coming into the game inning now Nancy lane David armour putting on the right rear tire they're putting in. Roundup when Mike. Being young man. You can offer letters lord more fun to learn new tires and gasoline revenge. So hysterical way to stop Harry Gant and things that we. Okay now the second contract is hot wanted to turn one now penny drops to the inside the track up alongside Allen the Wiki doesn't mean he isn't funny in recent road here's. We Helen hill died down under the Wiki and make a lot of artists that around all of those cars Earnhardt now leads that second draft the cars behind the leaders who haven't made there pit stop yet it's Earnhardt Kyle Petty Bobby militants. Jeff mood I'm in Michael Waltrip and then back for the seven. Possession as they enter turnover rate Michael Waltrip spotty at all by himself down on the inside drafting help promote Diana applied waltrip still not out flow. Dale Earnhardt and leader of the Daytona 500 last team meeting. Larry Kantor is finally peeled off the racetrack to make his pit stop on lap number 66. So our heart is the leader. Not me a little junior or assume. A young man in Midland Texas driving and gotten teal colored car for Judy Don Levy in the highly Myers sponsorship. He runs and secondly Kyle Petty now and third good strong fourth place run for Mark Martin who has gotten a monopoly board backup supports. Ahead of skittish reader PS the Kodiak Chevrolet at the Michael Waltrip now next in line in the Pennzoil Pontiac runs sex. Followed by jumping more time Bill Elliott and vent and Ernie urban meanwhile Dave Marcus is cars in the garage Winston Kelley. Okay. Again today but they've got transmission problems the cars slipped out of gear they can't get an empty chairs designed. In the corner here or they'll change the transmission on Dave Marcus Chevrolet. It's a story on Dave Marcus was 68 laps on the board they continue to watch it around in the Daytona 500 this afternoon thus far. Just about what everyone's worst nightmare for the event was at Baylor heart indeed was a strong as he has appeared to be Paul speed weeks thus far turn heart takes a back up and it turns three and four. The surprising run I won't say it's always surprising in a way that was Bobby eulogy here he has done such a masterful job all afternoon to work the draft and keep that car right up there on. In the top 45 I don't think he's been any further back to about eighth or ninth all afternoon and each time is running. Way right back to. I have taught me estimated still needing good run to get that respect the garage area. Well you know any time you run really well and especially I'm not a highly there's no. Right like isn't gonna help you know. I'm done. Things like dominating start last year that really helped in a minute situations and alertness is not done. You know bounce around a little bit when you when you start the whole another experience like out there and ninjas rice rice rice here and as lord tonight unite some mistakes and and I guess I it doesn't overcome it and maybe outside my day you never know. Well I don't know for sure now as the crowd rises to watch as he goes for the lead in Atlanta trying to grab the lead for Bernhard here at Daytona. And he's been awful big jump let's see if he could shoot it he will lead draft right to the bottom of the racetrack and her heart gives it a little breathing room he had the lead for a moment here comes dale right back on and as it worked to turn one are now getting mentally and if let's try to like block for the 31 degree ranking of turnover while the honig Myers fla game gets out. At least that now. I was out in front Earnhardt pulls. Even on the outside my ex yeah I signed it anyway I'll start soon. These jazz drafting help Michael Waltrip is down behind Miller in the inside of the outside his sin is second trader behind Dale Earnhardt now Michael Waltrip abandon ship. John set the outside light a fire. Felicia relays gang up on on the body healing cars they shuffling outside of the banking now no one tags along with Hillary. Here comes Mark Martin to get in some drafting help as they exit dirt floor. Told Bobby Nolan who wanted to Talladega back in 1986. Get shuffled back just admit he's now running in third spot. Rookie driver then turn it down lobbying team and how they have everywhere. Anyway doesn't themselves. They're probably rooting for Jimmy not let me the most popular guy at the garage area we can we count. Plus drew the line is there anything that. I don't drive far. I drove it hard for six years off and on and tomorrow the bronze winner will lead the race is airlock and raises a lot of plays like OK it's never gonna make it happen all. On top of Daniel and his design is a good smooth racetrack or how little unexpected thing isn't as close as front or there's playing. Erasing them boys look like pretty good. Into an awfully well having started here in men and a good strong showing. And now works his way back towards the front he went from ninth place at the front now settles down on third single file we'll thanks a Democrat. Courses or. Aren't there a way around this extra 76 laps complete we've had a couple of cautions this afternoon Dick Trickle lost an engine that brought up the first caution. And a tire cut down Jimmy into his car put him in the long of them that we have been caution free Dale Earnhardt is a leader. Riding the number two spot is still kitty straighter and Bobby Taylor junior arrives to urge the Daytona International Speedway this is Itamar in radio. The Daytona 500.

We have Kenny straighter rattling with Dale Earnhardt they swapped the lead around the Dennis rader goes to the point here about 178. Ricky Rudd is back on the racetrack after his problems of earlier and he talked about the bill in the driver line problems he has 24 laps down being posted in 39 position but back on the racetrack nevertheless. Things aren't quite as rosy goal for Allen Coe Wiki the cars sounding rough down there on math. The racetrack is currently don't match well and n.'s. And talking about what they can no matter. Trying to get his. They of course don't. Now this letter run. Until it is something happens startling get a chance coming in. 79 laps strip on the scoreboard we talked about the great run that Bobby hill and juniors having. Highly Myers furniture car and this afternoon let's see if we get report from his. And are in the pits when Judy Don Levy there are older more Bobby Nolan. Did you started there. My pleasure of the third rider of the carbon and it's good. Nobody really doing a good job with fifth we've been pretty quick game yet has been in. He's gotten it like he had go to bed Justin please. We've run really good. And got a little excited while ago when he got belief. That's the first time that Bobby got eleven Atlanta laughed for five years aggressive pricing will be glad I left 71. He latte the thing that a lot of folks are going to be shocked at this year to talk about Bobby Nolan wouldn't talk about Rick Wilson Phil Parsons the guys that have been out of the business. At a given time Bobby Nolan set out for quite appeared in was to tell racing. Of course noted Bali killing along with some of the other guys have come back this year. Tennis week. Talked a couple of times when you're player in this business at any given time UBS you've been competitive car. You're out of it like Kyle Petty said all of a sudden you're sitting home listening to it tricky may never get back in it he says if you ever get a second chance you're gonna make every. Effort to really stay there as long as you can these guys are doing right now. They are doing that there's three of the nicest guys in the business Bobby hill and Rick Wilson Phil Parsons always have time for us then we'll talk and share a story or two okay. Bobby scores probably on the men and laughed and smiled all week his wife Kim is that it may be you know we give a half two weeks ago. Patty said there's extra responsibility now being a father and it's not once we get out there shall folks that I deserve to be here. Can drive a race car I don't know if you saw it last year's probably took that little interview we heard before Robert Gates to scream running his race cars.

Many inside of Michael Waltrip billow leaders in the outside lane he's not gonna like I'll get back in line so Elliott look. We'll go up to the six spot. Tile will now slide headline seven. Sucks it live as they enter the corner now the scramble into the fourth position Michael Waltrip yellow Pontiac to the inside against writers like Chevrolet they'll hit side by side of the quarterly reports Michael Waltrip very strong remember he was leading this race last year with thirty laps to goal you might remember that from last February. And with a ten laps remaining last year. Michael was riding in the leading three car drafts before you lost an engine with those ten laps remaining source he settles in single file now on fourth spot. Not really surprised to see the Pennzoil Pontiac up there. Plummeted to the other day in the garage is that you know a lot of folks have probably forgotten that a couple of times you almost won the Daytona 500. Yeah I need whether you buy us members and not do that means a lot to me and it makes me. Really look forward coming down here both February until I was at theater and you know as well so hopefully we'll have a good good kitty F.

I'd do a summer on Saturday to make up for last year's western and I think sandy. But that's MA laps to go last year we're at a second had a shot to win and got away from a so. Hopefully we can erase all those bad things in 92 make Kamal good night very. Well that's exactly what he's doing here this afternoon very determined Michael Waltrip had a good attitude do they were talking and laughing and joking. Crusade is a really upbeat and I think it's going to be good ear for likely several outstanding run as he has that talent best returns three. Leader Dale Earnhardt about to encounter some lap traffic to one of the first times today that Chad little car Kenny Wallace she's. Inside Taylor models like get up to the high side of the banking lobby healing goes along wouldn't use slower cars will swing down on the inside of the racetrack the lead draft comes off for high. The team cars still tied tightly together that leave draft Jeff bullet time the man on the move now. As he works himself up on me rear deck of the Dale Earnhardt car. Still three Ford cars on the lead lap and only three cars in the garage area. Dick Trickle Jimmy Hensley and Dave Marcus once story that I paid you one after Jeff Gordon led LAPD number one and and again 122. We were not certain what to grab the young man from Indiana he's running in nineteen spot right now lets you hear an update on that story on pit road or. I'm talking just repeat forever and everything. Cars extremely tight right now that means that it does not want to turn get in the corners and we only have about 440 horsepower to push these machines around. For the cars what does not want to turn it takes a lot more horsepower to push it that's reviews falling back we'll hopefully get a pit stop. Well just to close that nobody got blue. Electric car over a little bit looser or more loosen up you know around the racetrack. We got eleven cars up to lead draft nose to tail with that second draft hitting over to Joseph Moore Ernie Irvin got his hands full back there for that spot targets. It's got the inside line finally handed is going the wrong way like by. Cars Kenny Wallace is there it's a good. Totally went Jimmy Spencer and demonstrate that went behind those cars had been right up with a back up through the front trap from all racing side by side has allowed the front eleven cars to get away. Now word Earvin has more trouble on the inside of the racetrack the lapped car Kenny Wallace was there. Putting already are on the inside of the racetrack to the rest of that draft swings around to the outside it looks fervent all the way to the back. It may get a comment or two from Tony Glover Donna that Kodak's big here adjustable results matter of fact. You're turning off the racetrack right now to a supposedly turns were telling you something not quite right. Public Kodak film Chevrolet Latin number nine being Ernie is Jennifer pit stop. We'll get update from the pit lane here he came and went over fifty or so forty laps after the initial stop hurting or what is it again let's go to Dick Brooks. Well again I'm tired change on the car they have made it jazzy. Earlier on the first and it's not. I'm the last time I don't see any adjustments made on it on a cart all their and on the right sign on the left side to lose. Or so left field single sign on while Mike seminal American. Earlier this car about to be dropped off the Jack can go back on the speedway a couple of times he's been up in the lead pack but a couple of times he's fallen back and not been able to get back up there also so. The first part of the Daytona 500 biased GT is not going to Ernie Irvin and teams like he had all but one laps around scoreboard. A little later on today's Daytona 500 broadcast room.

From the pole an additional 22800. Dollars could be his he's still running in third earnhardt's leader Jeff Conine to second when Kyle Petty ahead of Bobby Ewing junior. That can illustrator and meanwhile on that role it's certainly a departure from Tony Glover the crew chief on earlier in Scarborough earnings came in that it stop.

Went around we're going down in you know luckily nailed it and got things in your zone. Males and driver was going flat. So that's me a paper on the planet has a work getting attention is riveted. Upon all of these race cars they have a race like this 42 it's very few caution periods. Just two very quick caution periods now as we near halfway. It really makes strategy major factor it also puts a premium content through word because things don't change as stable as these cars are. It's gonna be who's in and out of pit road here very very quickly that could that be the story the San. It's a whole lot easier to gain two positions or move up a couple of notches violet quick pit stop and it is to do without their traffic the way things are going here this afternoon good battled door to door out of turn over to that's for second place sweeping down the backstretch. Kyle Petty Bobby Miller dropped out of the. The inside of Jeff Levine trying to build line not only provide the pull alongside leader Dale Earnhardt Kyle is five Japanese dried up on our cars how committees blackened Dick look Pontiac touchdown aliens out of the racetrack drafting help from Bobby hill and up high as Dale Earnhardt and his black Chevrolet. And petty little dusty buffalo they exit of four. So Kyle many goes to the front here at lap number 96. I was telling me yesterday in the lead draft pretty well with the forged although it is testing right so he would like your client Bill Elliott directly in front of that reason for some reason I've seen the draft the best. When Bill Elliott is directly in front of me and I'm running behind him in this instance he just ran in front of robbing a little bit left villain behind as he swept around Dale Earnhardt. That was the 23 lead changes among eleven drivers here at Daytona this afternoon not a random numbers we are yet to reach halfway. In the 500 Kyle Petty backup and turn three. Dale Earnhardt is second Jeff Conine is third that side by side for fourth dreadful time. Trip but not put supreme court of the inside of Bonnie Mellon side by side through the middle of the corner still side by side as he approaching exit of turn four that's the way they go down to short right away.

Candidates are running go comes down off the flanking a little bit tries to get the car hitting downhill so to speak they're still door to door and turn wanted. Finally inside bombing only outside car subtly colored it's almost difficult to see in the morning. It's like one big car coming concern at this time Hilton goes high in the banking codeine down low they're still. Even as an exit turn two helpful to pick up some drafting help Rusty Wallace and drop down behind Bret the line just for a moment now he darts back. The outside line of traffic meanwhile Jeff photo I'm running in third place touchdown of the. They'll go side by side as they enter the quarter in the green Ford of rep food lion the teal Florida Bobby Nolan junior's side by side with a Rusty Wallace try to help output but on the other side. Rusty Wallace should not talk much about his body equities now very much in the next house Kyle Petty leaves the 500 back to the stripe. This will be a championship here quicktime. I'll you know and that's all we can't hear the good lord. You know winning on the winning Daytona 500 and sat on the pole and then and I knew we came down here just start off our season and I know and begin going toward a championship here maybe now and then last night would you recommend nickel and I'm honored championship and the island in the Daytona 500 of them had a small battle and entertainment every animate your war and do you we'd like Illinois Nevada this.

Chevrolet is aborted another shabby at the back of the draft that's can shred or he dress up way up pile the backing down low as Jeff Foote I know room to make the move there they'll talk back and line up for it. Thank you can never count anybody out of the event here at Daytona river early this afternoon if you with a sort of broadcaster first came on Ernie Irvin dropped way back in the field. Had a hard time getting back up there analogy is there he's able to ride like with the two leaders of the sore about what the other cars are back in turn want. And all those details about a car like separated each modeled on the Clinton cars traitor again at this over the racetrack goes way up the banking collapse car Ricky Rudd pulls up behind him. They're running right behind Jeff Levine who is his fourth and that. At lap car and Rusty Wallace who's running in sixth seventh did you Rick mast and eight these Jeff Gordon Red Bull by the time. Dale Jarrett blackened greens Chevrolet touchdown on the inside the racetrack the black Chevrolet of Dale Earnhardt is there by a car length off the corner earlier than tucks in behind as they exit turn four. Winston Kelley had mentioned before that Joseph might limit ticket his car towards the garage area engine failure of the report there at Joseph was out of the day we'll. Houses Bill Elliott Jimmie had his way and Dick Trickle up. Auxiliary type draft at the front of the field dealer mark I'll tell all the facts right however Wilson gets you don't want caught that provided the outside wallets dropping. It's hard. The back of the field scatters. Both drivers do an outstanding job keeping their cars up against the outside wall and the rest of the field will get by without any further incident a close call in the middle of traffic on the back straightaway. And as a come out of line caution is on the speedway Earnhardt lead them back in line and continue to be the leader Ernie Irvin comes across right behind him and then Dale Jarrett but cautioned. On the racetrack lets elect turn three look back towards the end of the great big long lead draft of cars that were running tightly together on the restart Barney a couple of guys started jumping out of line it looked like somebody might have come off the throttle looked ahead of the pack might have been Hamilton running on the outside who had a problem. Came off the throttle and when he did in the pac scattered behind him someone bumped Rick Wilson who got turned over into Bobby Hamilton's car. The two of them got in the outside wall. And both drivers did a fantastic job keeping those cars up on the outside of the racetrack from coming back across in the traffic into the rest of the field to clear them. Floyd is amazing to see an accident happened with 25 cars or twenty cars around a couple of cars get together and everybody else gets by without getting tangled up and it and we're kind of glad we did yes. Curious Winston Kelley you're standing up missing it right down there and be Rick Wilson Richard Petty pets. First race for Richard is a car owner he's hears about his car accident what was his reaction to be they take your comedy throw is not what he do. Epochal petty reaction very calm out he's turned and walked toward the garage areas the SDP Pontiac. With heavy heavy damage to the right front Rick Wilson having trouble. Turning it in at the end of the up pit road here and whether Unocal station is bound toward turn Foreman Richard very calm Bobby Hamilton brings his car. I'm still around now he pulls away he's got damage to both the left and right side of the car. This still drivable but like we said Richard as many as per usual very calm and not just taking of this turn of events and we'll go try to get a comment from Rick Wilson. And is there such a little getting used to for Richard Petty in this position here today not to be in the car and to watch it come into the Roger crumpled up a little bit from the Daytona International Speedway this is DeMarre and radio.

On lap 141. We have seen a few pit stops made jump quote I'm has been in. Davey Allison has been at Wally Golombek junior now in for service have so truly Bobby Hamilton's car one more time shall. A few teams taking advantage of this caution periods for some quick pit stops. Go ahead they allow it caught up with a brick Wilson Rick. Not the way you wanna be your first right there with the SDP Pontiac what happened in Iowa no nasty people on it was running good enough we had a no bad pit stop start with the team and we work it to not enough. Some have no were bombing was coming off course I don't know somebody heating or whatever but he just checked you know just not nice what these guys went around him when we come back out. My guy in ten mean. No terming I don't know. Haven't been Winston cup car for just ride at a years it got like getting back on a bicycle or does it take awhile to get used to. I don't think a lot of get used to I you don't ever get you somebody hit you as many out but. You know I know it's just writes in an like a Sam thanks so much money did you want everybody out. You know what I get a car fixed in you know go out and run as much as we can't ask Rick Wilson new driver this DP Pontiac. Sealed a deal look at as they come down at the starter Stanley gets the indication one lap to go and several cars will peel off the banking and elect to come to pit road. Your skinny straighter coming in Ricky Rudd Brett vote on Kyle Petty. Several top cars all right deciding to make a late pit stop let's announced that Brooks. Arnie are becoming the last time mine and they feel them and put on miers and Karl real good. Now that is and now they're doing the same thing. Hey I'm doing not to tires on traders thought they check your good name back on the racetrack you know these guys maybe gonna try to on this the end I don't know. 57 laps is that dual bullets into every darn close certainly are Jim Phillips you can hear the man who follows fuel mileage down there as best and they want. They were saying fifty laps earlier was conservative. Can they push at 57 if we go green. When they pushed up the laps on Thursday lives. 55 laps the most I saw them. Just hold their computers they are about Bernhard Peters 54 point five but I think conceivably they get a cut caution to the good look at all the way. Where the Hilton story all of a sudden. Well one thing on the fuel deal everybody I've talked to down there says if you're leading it's changed little bit from what it was a year or so though if you're leading this race now they say if you are the front car that you would use a little bit more gasoline that you will your back there about second or third fourth just kind of being pulled along. In the draft so whoever. Decides to go for all the marbles you're sluggish car strong mostly the thing we have to take that into consideration we just have to wait and see 143 laps all the more quick provider two weeks from today. NASCAR doubleheader from the North Carolina motor speedway in Rockingham Friday afternoon the Busch pole updates began at 2:30 eastern. On motor racing network Saturday the Goodrich 203 NASCAR Busch grand national series we're on the air 1 o'clock in the afternoon Sunday of course to Goodrich 500. That was a cup series we're on the air at 1230 up there the Pontiac 400. In the coming up in which. And Virginia on March 7. Green flag goes up in the air and we are back at it one more time as they chase Dale Earnhardt downturn one Earnhardt leads the way with Dale Jarrett look at him outside lane getting by some of the slower traffic. Rusty Wallace runs third that threatened mass followed by Jeff Gordon. Bobby Nolan junior and Morgan Shepherd and all of a lot of the outside lane getting by the slower traffic all the good. Sale on the back straightaway Morgan Shepherd running in the seventh spot Mark Martin is right behind him in the eighth position as the field begins to clear some of that lap traffic Dale Earnhardt Bob's a little bit down the inside Dale Jarrett right it has tire tracks as. Fine cars the lead lap cars all those details now dusting off the lap cars to the inside beginning to scramble it up and turn over three and four the front five C knows detailed below side of the racetrack coming exit of the corner. So the single file formation remains intact as everyone holds their positions look who's back in the picture now Morgan Shepherd we're hearing oh Minnesota to. Analyzing we close to Davey Allison trying to get that when it couldn't quite do it Morgan's have to be this morning all viewers pick up one possession from last year he's in the picture and turn one. Jeffords running the seventh spot right behind Bobby delicatessen drafting up for the fourth behind it as well Mark Martin is there an all star. They're watching Ernie Irvin one of those cars who made that late pit stop work his way back through the trafficker. Past five cars in the back straightaway last lap five right now he's got no drafting help bottle. Trader about two colleagues behind the next car birdie or the new deal with the star in the body should now shredder and urban look up on the bottom of the racetrack the two Chevrolet is trying to swarthmore. Talk about Morgan Shepherd being back in the picture to win the Daytona 500 you'd better get a wide angle lens if you're gonna get all the cars in the same shot then have a. Or in the picture here so to speak there's at least fifteen of them definitely pack including Kyle Petty would really drop back and won't go do this to his gasoline problem. And also the rookie driver Jeff Gordon is up there and Joseph Moore he looks good. Gordon is there as well as Rick mast and we haven't heard one come today mask running toward the north might finally best spot. Ten cars now all nose to tail on the back straightaway then another three or four car likes before you get to that second group charging down the stretch Bobby nobody in the middle of that group gave markets is there. Earlier than trying to close up. Jeff Gordon trying to make the move on Rick mast at the entrance of turnover rate that nothing doing NASCAR sticks out of the inside of the racetrack also plotting out looks lighting up the banking try to commit for the. Bobby Nolan who led earlier in this race if you're just joining us he took the lead for the very first time midway through the MS and that he was there a lot and personally. Showing the strain on how McGwire scored single file formation still live everybody chasing Dale Earnhardt as they have been doing most of the week. 148. Laps run a lot of Formula One car in the wall right in the middle of the field spinning around down the stretch into the outside wall as the field scattered clients. But I've torn up on the right side ever. Everyone else we'll get caught but urban is in the wall on the backstretch. Caution is on a speedway the field yet to get it here they come off turn before Ernie Irvin scrubbed off a lot of speed hold in the car up against the wall is now down on the apron the racetrack lets go. Back to turn 31 out of kind of wait for that to happen all the way these guys when they come shooting off of turn over two largest tantalizingly close to that outside wall I was just kind of waiting for somebody to just slip. Those 56 inches that they've been giving themselves between the U. Where they've been taking the line off the corner in the outside wall and that was the case that Tom I think urban scar just slipped when he came off the corner I didn't see any contact from behind. What is the right side wall did a great job driving the car got it off the wall kept it straight every once scattered behind it he was running about two thirds of the way towards the front through the field. So good twenty cars went by him that he brought the car down onto the apron Gurney or its cars heavily damaged in the right front. There was C money for the racetrack hitting for pit road right now on Ernie Irvin who has won the Daytona 500 I'm not gonna win it here today but he's certainly been a contender in the Kodak car. You've been right at the front of the pack now he slams into the wall off pit road it looked as though there's car would not steer and that's where it stopped just at the entrance to the pit road coming out of turner before. Under caution with fifty laps to go the cars on the lead lap have not elected to pet shop that our lap down to have done so. Meanwhile earlier this climb from the Kodak film Chevrolet water. The garage in Winston Kelley is right along side. Morning walk by you say just Zune had a few minutes to gather his thoughts he's had a real tough afternoon a real tough week in 1991. Daytona 500 champion just like in a few minutes. To work together solved before we get a comment from. We can understand that because he had a good run going here this afternoon announced he gets how the car Mona your take a look at it and see that it's all over. Not a good feeling. So caution on the speedway for the fifth time this afternoon. Time again the question is do you make a stop at this point Barney and take an extra splash of purity of triumph. And force of the rest of the way remember most everybody pitted at lap 142143. They were looking at 57 laps of racing and let their green flag conditions to go the distance you know obviously a precaution. You wanna expand quite as much fuel but to the moment now to lead lap cars have chosen to make a stop. Got a feeling that maybe her harder coupled and the guys that are running first second or third are gonna make that call if you see one or two of them drop off the banking is pretty much likely. That everybody else will follow suit. Well let's do it happened now more likely that Pontiac. Comes down off turn four Earnhardt is gonna make a move now is he faking everybody hears it gonna call. He comes to the inside of that broken white line and here comes the parade of cars down pit road so at lap 151. 49 laps remaining the lead lap cars will make a stop Bernhard Jarrett Wallace. Rick masters in Jeff Gordon Morgan Shepherd Bobby Helen likewise Mark Martin also wait now Bobby what punting and here comes Terry upon the end Candace rader lake speed vision virtually the entire lead lap and Dick Brooks and house leaders down near him. Well Dale Jarrett. He's they're just gonna feel I'm so tired it's greater than they're going to love but tired right side tires and still how many. Have there got to feel confident. Think things are putting our cent level ligament turned all the way they're still working on maybe I'll start I just haven't. And drive killing Elaine. Announces a little bet that a lot of good shots inside so they have been working on stocks amid final is when our man one yeah they worked on a front for awhile I can fine a line now learn a rare. They can't find any thanks so. I just now another lender can find that to him the cards not Robin Wright. Jim Phillips some different strategies on this in a pit road Dale Earnhardt put gasoline only know tires for him. Jeff Gordon the rookie might go rookie mistake or just a minute ago we Kevin do script. And he had a back up because who's crossed a line for the good do service on him and he lost some positions there. Bobby look bodies still sits on the pit lane he got some of that thirty urban. Wreck over there and it knocked the front to repair them the right side of it all we're trying to keep track that I. Also in the fifth was Jeff codeine Mark Martin got tires and gasoline so that much Strickland. Well it was hard to tell what it looked like a couple of cars also might have just topped off the fuel tanks have knocked out bothered to change the Goodyear Eagles on the car just.

Congratulations from Jasper engine and transmission student Robert just keep. Treasurer I'm. Island Florida every thanks to quick up and have a race car out there to drive when the morning. Now if we wanna wolf what we do it we didn't find us a driver that's for my girls driver. Well let's get serious because very shortly here this thing is going to be settled at Daytona 500 by STP her heart still very much in contention he's dodged a lot of bullets and long lived to about ten or fifteen other cars still very much in this thing Alan rhetoric over funny youth. If you had to pick somebody that's gonna be tough to deal with he doesn't have a problem it's going to be number three. Wallis thanks so far he's been strong on the straight aways all day and although the car hasn't necessarily turn in the quarters as well as he might like it too. They've never been able to get very far away from him and he's the only one that's been at the front of the pack puts a lot of other stuff to the front page to the back come back to the front again. But earnhardt's only one that's been at the front of the pack all afternoon long. Of course this point dale is going to have to work his way through some race traffic has not the green flag you've still got Derrick cope ahead of Sterling Marlin. But Strickland rental car and Al Unser junior car tech chosen not to permit during this most recent caution period. Green flag from the oil floor they'll hold their position to slide two back to turn one. Derrick Low blades of going back into the water lapped cars Perry can't first he'll deal with Natalie and sidelined for about eight deadline as Bernhard since he's like behind the Dale Jarrett car. Do why do they make their way could turn to. On the backs right away. Still not able to clear the lap traffic now the lap cars will move down the inside a little they give the leaders of room to run the outside but at the head of that pact Derek Kobe is not able to do anything with Harry get. So double why don't go to three at about the eight position Rusty Wallace looks to the inside of Dale Earnhardt at lap cars are there are they inside of the racetrack so no rim to make the move. Although lead lap cars on the outside traveling defied try to find their way around. And right now traffic is the problem for a lot of cars that are anywhere from us seventh and eighth on back and feel that's where the real strong cars and at the front of the pack all they are position. Dale Jarrett runs just ahead of Dale Earnhardt as they were back into turn one looking for a place to go three wide. Jarrett is the seventh place Tarik does the work personal Michael Waltrip pulling Galilee in signing him to try to get by Bernard fall's final rear deck of Walton started the climate. Still the leader Derrick cope is not able to clear the lap car Harry again of the other lap cars and that in sidelines of the gonna stay bottled up double wide as they come to the end of the back straightaway cold chilly. Apple pulling just admitted in the corner get about a fender up in front right behind as the Sterling Marlin car Marlins lights up the backing but still likes to bite to bite you all the way back through about the first half rose bush or. Got a long way to go your lap 15545. Laps remaining here they come back to the stripes still Derrick cope better Sterling Marlin. Wanting to win over Atlanta you know there was never an excellent car there for Sterling Marlin and after it got slam or not. During an accident that earlier and running as well as it is in testimony of the crew for the steamroller Brothers that got that rate fastest Ford built as well obviously kind of how. Has been and still two by two out of turn number two. Now Dale Jarrett Dale Earnhardt trying to get sick of being bottled up behind that traffic they've dropped down to the inside line of cars that are trying to plow their way to the front dealt bypass a couple of more Rusty Wallace is gonna go down with. It moves up to about the deposition and here goes our heart to the top of the banking you'll like it three wide back we're about the fifth position on the inside his Rusty Wallace hit it pays off Bernardo game once. And that's why they talk about you need a handling race trouble coming out of little dogleg to cars get together. Bobby hill and juniors out of control Al Unser also junior is out of control. Both spin Donnelly apron of the racetrack remarkably everybody will get by as they have slid about twelve or 15100 feet putt at the last second. Kyle Petty cool slamming into Bobby Hillary Jeter had absolutely no word go. Unbelievable. And it happened coming out of turn number four. Whether there was actual contact with a in the Airways disturb we'll have to wait and find out. But the cars that broke loose is Marty told you were Al Unser junior and Bobby hill and they were posting Bobby hill and in thirteenth spot. Al Unser junior who's being shown right around ten. Position they were working in traffic. Then all of a sudden they broke loose when sliding sideways. Kind of Stewart matchup everybody managed to get by until literally the very last second. Win Bobby Helen's cars slid her across the grass Kyle Petty contact him and now both Nolan and Kyle. My client from their cars. Here it's start finish Kyle's somewhat bit distressed. With some my hand motion was certain he goes across the grass so to Bobby hill and now who drives after an Helen wants to have a few words with Kyle Petty and they are literally nose to nose. Face to face hand to hand the 'cause they try to explain things to one another they do shelf ones now a couple of times and finally stop. How's the discussion continues. Bobby Nolan junior lessening at the moment is Kyle Petty and with this man that bear. It makes it rather emphatic point in time both men try to walk off but again he'll and is talking until one of the NASCAR officials Carl Simmons comes out of the pit lane. I'm now again Hillary and Kyle credit this time on pit road. Begin to show all rather emphatically number NASCAR officials will finally moved them across Shia joy. Why did not pursue every year has this accident draw mostly higher pump a couple of drivers in particular let's go to pit road. Balance or get him drink the water looks like you're all right what happened. I don't know dale bit me on the outside. Going into turn three in. And then I tried to come back up in between him and now and then he got my. My right rear quarter panel turned me sideways into the wall so to learn aren't cut out there today. Dow's a lot of fun you know it's just saying for thirteen down the lane in now. And the whole Hendricks motorsports as we were we were gonna go get him there at the end you know but to. It just got too crowded too many plays coming off four and now president. So I'll answer is acceleration this afternoon. And it. Three of the top cars in the race will go out of the event here before it is all over Al Unser junior has gone of the drug trial phase out and Bobby Taylor what a shame because all had a good run. How Unser junior viewers directly in front of Dale Earnhardt fan Earnhardt had a bird's eye view of that one. And as the cars hit the first time they also went back directly in front of Michael Waltrip. Who is still running out on the racetrack and that was a very close call when Hillary came back. Back up the banking he nosed into the outside retaining wall. That Kyle that he made the impact with him some few hundred feet past start finish. I'm both cars eventually came to a stop so obviously it's a rather short and disappointed man because all of those cars even Al junior as we just heard. Running very very well to get this close to the finish and come up with a late race accident constantly most disheartening. It's kind of hard to swallow as we said when you've got a chance to win the biggest stock car race in the world. No matter whose fault it is an emphasis beat these things travel what somebody touches. You might think so and so hit yours did this should do that a lot of time tempers flair I'm sure that you will work it out. But there irregardless as we said it is taken out three of the top cars Al Unser junior Kyle pace certainly had a chance to win this thing and so did. Bob Dylan but unfortunately his short nay column very sad side going up pit road right now the mellow yellow Pontiac of Kyle Petty hooked up for the record he certainly felt like he had a chance to win it here this afternoon he is out of the car visibly upset here just a moment ago. As a little shoving match between himself and Bobby hill and we'll try to follow up on them hopefully get a word with maybe both loomed after they have it's not a little time to cool down to get their thoughts together let's get. Update from Winston Kelley. Bobby Nolan has climbed out of the car he's been talking news remembers it felt like he had. The strongest car all day long like to give him a minute too astute to gather his thoughts. Doctors crewmembers talk to Judy Don Levy follow pony Ernie Irvin situation. Ernie very uncharacteristically. I ask for a few minutes he felt like he got hit by somebody else who's very uncharacteristic tourney. Tool to walk away and not talkies normally one of the first drivers to come up and say this is what happened. You know in particular situation. We should be able to get a comment from Bobby Gelman here momentarily. And Rick Wilson has gone back into the race in the SDP Pontiac of Richard Petty being posted 21 laps down and 35 position with they'll go out there and collect as many Winston cup points as they can't. Talk about drama in a stock car race at Daytona 500 always seems to find all kinds of things whether it's. Gas mileage factor that wins a race or little temper flare up like we saw a moment ago or whatever we've had a little bit of everything here today it is far from being over there still 39 more laps. Villanova weighted to match or when Al Unser junior came through the grass. The car came back up constantly racetrack main straightaway which took many folks might look flat put itself is back some eighteen degrees. He got that hard to control and yanked him back towards the grass out of everybody's way get we've already heard from Al junior and we talked about what he had to say. But there was a mice that are driving for a man who obviously is used to. Working with a very delicate piece of machinery and an IndyCar announced the naval ports of that to use here as well with a as Winston cup car. Let's check in with the Winston Kelley candidacy if he's gotten a chance even a closer to out of Bobby Nolan junior. Yes we have Bobby out today you had a while the car out there what happened I'm tired I don't know what happened you know we're all right so we'll win in my lower Morgan's OK I'm going to sunshine and and there's got up there and amendment presently has I don't know edges there I'm going for the win. For me anyway honestly. I'm OK there's nothing else and I know it's there is always difficult right after a situation like that you can count committee discussed the situation what was sit there well. He jumped army because he's done around the breaks in the grass I had no price has gone to the floor and I had no control my car went back I'm proud racetrack it's just. He's not so I'm sending you not designed to sound very thankful we got a very understand sponsor how it myers' their first time on rice and her great common thread they've only Soledad Johnson winner. Rice formed a tough return Winston cup racing the body element Geneva on Libby team show that they're going to be one of the teams to reckon with in 1990 very. 162. Laps or on the board and give us 38 more circuits around here will see things can happen. Don't know I have. I would be really silly enough to try and guess at this point. We have had six caution flags a lot of drama today. We've kind of dominant run for Dale Earnhardt we've had some surprises at the front taking advantage of some opportunities Derrick cope is again leaving the Daytona 500 plants TP. Sterling Marlin salute picture all of a sudden putts Strickland now running in third spot. With just 37 laps ago. Pontiac police cars on pit road they dropped the green flag and Gary Coke comes after the gearbox. Takes it off turn one I remember. About four or five of those front cars did not get that last round of pit stops and whether they've got enough fuel to go the distance or something else might play out we'll have to wait and see they're all back to turn to Derek. Cubs got a souvenir make family inside Kerry can't still now they're the lap lanes side trying to get back at least one lap from the help but behind go to startled. Cars all lined up on the outside single file select group of about nine lap cars down on the inside and hope not able to clear Harry yet again just like on the last restart so they'll stay bottled up three. Are trying to they have moved to the inside the Kenny Wallace's lapped car is now there's no room to make the vote was a matter of fact nobody the outside lane stepping out of widely inside as they shuffle off turn four what a story this would be for Derrick cope and kale Yarborough motor sports are very from a state near the front. But again still a lot of racing to go. Running in the second spot Marlon I'm gonna talk. They only parent record I'm Rusty Wallace Dale Earnhardt the Michael Waltrip called tie didn't. They're together to try to bracket according. Monetary coComment Charlotte while unable to get away from the Harry can't let's check that follows as well as an outsider. Line advances here's Dale Jarrett running along the fourth spot he now pulls up alongside America. Press club I'm behind yeah. Rusty Wallace is running in six now all single file on the outside as the leaders begin to finally clear that lap traffic the front four have gotten by again now Brett bovine Rusty Wallace today. Alison boost to the high side and get try to get on bias the inside lane begins to shuffled backward the outside lane shuffles forward. Now let's rabble for the lead as they come off turn port city. The outside. Derrick cope brought out against the wall as they scramble up there at the front of the pack now blood dotting down to the bottom of the racetrack here comes during Marlon. And bringing winning putt strictly limit McDonald's car they get three deep heading for turn one. This is going to be exciting. Not Strickland might down in the bottom of the racetrack gets an opposable McDonald's car out. Out in front and hot Strickland leads at Daytona 500 it appeared on the inside start Obama makes his move he'll get my Derrick Pope was well. Dale Jarrett drops down the inside line of cars to try and give Sterling Marlin to drafting help now dropping down three wide as Michael Waltrip he'll pull by Dale Jarrett. Jacquelyn. I Walters yellow Pontiac picking up two positions Dale Earnhardt also with a mix now as he goes three wide once again with Rusty Wallace on the outside of the racetrack. Hot Strickland leads off turn four. He is the thirteenth different leader of this Daytona 500 by ST EP. The record is fifteen different leaders sold just a couple of shy of tying the all time mark. Hot as mayor and he's got company can right behind him. Derrick Knight is there run on his rear deck and looking back and also the Dale Earnhardt car he runs along the third spot and Earnhardt on the move again to put a bottle racetrack. He goes by Derrek helped current market. I try to take. The lead away all the drafting help was on the outside lane Earnhardt got nobody would have put five or six darlings to you get back to Sterling Marlin still he's able to stay alongside. Now Strickland. Taylor and Hart goes back about a half a garlic now as he shuffles down to the bottom of the racetrack picking up some drafting help from Michael Waltrip but our heart struggling inside makes a move for the lead off turn four. If you ever wanted to watch a race car work clear driver talk about my car's not working earnhardt's car is working he can drive it right out against the wall as we saw through three of four you watching that time. Get right to the bottom of the racetrack it's not over they may get three deep on the front rolled back in turn one like. A Walter sit right behind her aren't looking for a chance to go underneath that are hard to write down a little white line no more room there. So waltrip balls back in line of single file for now Earnhardt left to battle we'll Derrick coach. That's not true but later. When all by himself on the outside then Derrick cope then about a car length back to Rusty Wallace on the inside lane it's Earnhardt Michael Waltrip now Dale Jarrett on the charge for fifth. Erica hill loses two positions now as he tries to shuffle back in line Michael Walter try to take the third place away but here comes up to the outside he puts his Florida the high side the Pennzoil Pontiac to the inside battle. Matsuzaka just a heck of a race here are made to fight to everybody looking and waiting and watching now Jeff Gordon from further back. He'll make it three wide going wide open Ted musgrave in record time cars no work its way to the front Wallace double wide family you know our heart. Ozolinsh not a much pregnant again Strickland season common blocks the move our heart goes up the banking event now right behind them Dale Jarrett saw the move the inside of Michael Waltrip who goes next. A lot of pride yeah. Popped up to what mark has really got me why did they push ups walking the great not the dark birds to vibrations on the backs right away still. Having finally coming to a rest about halfway down the backs right away the cars involved Michael Waltrip deadly inside Derek Kobe involved at Rusty Wallace met. And we mega money accurate the next right. Playing rusty Wallace's car got off in the grass and doggedly and into the sand apparently and with the end ovary and at least four are five times she. Metal flies everywhere the car has come to rest out on the apron of the racetrack the safety crews are there immediately lets elect the backstretch. Rusty Wallace's car again about halfway down the backs right away one of the wildest rides we've seen a long time. Good luck similar to the situation yesterday in the Busch grand national race would not put signs car broke loose it looked like together back in in this case it was Michael Waltrip started broke loose and looks like he headed candidate back in the just off the corner the rear end McCain to come around when it data collected all these other parts of the course they dumped the inside to get away. Not Derrick cope moved down the inside. Rolled over to the the berm here that separates the racetrack from like Lloyd. His car they're bigots into new by safety personnel and the wildest final fall again by Rusty Wallace as he ended up about halfway down the back straightaway. And Eli are sitting here the boost for the taking a look at the backstretch seeing that accident reminders of I don't remember how many years ago it was Rusty Wallace almost that identical ride right out of turn over to his a safety crews continue to work on his car. I wanna say it was the first year that we have the cars down size tonight I'm Mike Meehan correct John Madden. But that is what I believe again Michael Waltrip broke loose as Derrick Kohl tried to get my. That's why Rusty Wallace got out of shape be up to avoid first one car. Then a second car and then as the car got onto the grass and the ash fall wolf it was a Joseph Morissette Dave many times a barrel roll down the backs for. Great lion update from the facts straight away Rusty Wallace is walked away from his race car he's just client from the car and walk to the ambulance good news for rusty. That is the kind of crash that is so scary to see their cargo airborne flipping and ovary and. But it is it. Sometimes it can be the best kind of crashing convenient. And let me explain why as long as that car is rolling turning not hitting anything not stopping instantly at leads off all their energy remember a few years ago when Richard Petty. Had a severe crash coming off turnover for the car tumbled end over inside oversized but it never hit anything solid really. The impact was not that severe I guess and Darrell Waltrip had the same type of crash in the backstretch here at Daytona a couple of years ago but to look at it it is a frightening sight to watch that car literally trying to terror itself to pieces. That's exactly what it did coming down the backstretch the great news is again Rusty Wallace walks away from it. Let's give all the credit in the world and NASCAR from putting the safety factors in these cars that roll cage. And everything else that they require in Winston cup stock car. Pace scary moment but now with thirty laps to go the fact that rusty Wallace's all right we'll allow us to examine. Focus our attention on the remaining laps of this Daytona 500 by ST pretty Dale Earnhardt leads. Dale Jarrett his second putt Strickland who runs in third. Fourth is now the Sterling Marlin car and running in fifth after that gutsy three wide move peer through the tri oval is Jeff Gordon.

Now here at Daytona International Speedway party asked you before what next Luther anticipated that but again the news was good that Rusty Wallace walked from his Pontiac to the ambulance. He has already been taken meant to be infield care center. Where are Winston Kelley is standing by Winston. Would there are countries just pulled behind the Wally was involved in the accident Parse there we tell your okay what happened. All well you know we're all Hezbollah but there in turn not turn it barely come up profits aren't Michael and you know got in front of me and it. You know he's got a push from behind you know I got in the distant back I'm Michael couldn't stop me now he gets sideways and exciting Atalanta and you know like the rest easy come by. There's hysterical episode ten we talked to Max Nelson who's a minister who travels a Winston cup circuit with us. He said he talked to Rusty Wallace is eroding into the infield care Center City was a large. He knew he was there all had all his faculties together talked to a select a given their for a mandatory checkup. We did attempt to talk to Kyle Petty he came directly from the racetrack on the back of one of the security motorcycles and went. Into the regular mail yellow Pontiac he's back there talking to his car owner. I Felix Abbas and understandably wants a few minutes. To just get his thoughts together after having the quickest car here most of the week the pole sitter for the Daytona 500 so we'll still try to get a comment from both Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace. So I guess not think Kyle had a lot of reasons to be upset we have talked about today but how is a car owner. Felix about his flood posted a million dollar bonus for him if he won this race in addition to everything else that goes where the race itself. Can you can understand as I say if you got a car like he's handled it long certainly he and Earnhardt probably. If I had to pick two cars it looked a three to the cream of the crop not putting anybody else down those would be the two and a watch it all go up in smoke like that. Hit it how could you not. The ups and certainly upset man nobody knows what's going on the other man's car Bobby Alon told us he had no breakthroughs on the pedal to the floor. Kyle apparently at least from what Bobby hill and told us a feels differently hopefully we'll get a comment from someone on the Miller your team a bit later on. 35 lead changes among thirteen drivers. Seven caution flags now for thirty laps an average speed of 153. Point 469 miles an hour. With nine drivers out of the race the remaining 32 are set to settle list Daytona 500. By ST EP just 48 laps to go. 28 laps to get it done Dale Earnhardt just that far away from tasting. Victory for the first time in Daytona 500 Dale Jarrett blocks until it was a green flag goes up in the air. It's strictly on the McDonald's car is in third place they're all heading for turn 10 avowed right. Along in fourth Jeff Gordon is fifth sixth now all the Morgan Shepherd dark seventh as Jeff put on Watergate this Ted musgrave. Here they come working by the slower traffic hurt hard and Jarrett getting my at a slower traffic. Now we get in a breakaway for the rest of the our Phil Parsons he's gonna slide in between second place Jared and third place Strickland and fill that. Apple now some smoke as the cars run through some of the state drive put down the back straightaway there's not trickle trying to move. Start early model given help to the inside of the racetrack Parsons slips up the backing of those two slide down the inside now the top five packed together as they cannot turn floor. Dale Earnhardt still nose to tail just ahead of Dale Jarrett Jarrett wearing the Dallas Cowboys head gear is part of his associate sponsorship of the the National Football League. So why not us now pursuing all we cowboys for the Super Bowl champions they hold possession the front seven do not gonna turn one. As the tail following Dale Earnhardt who goes right down the bottom line on the racetrack turns one and soon Jaret Wright behind a little hot Strickland Sterling Marlin. You see a six car breakaway Morgan Shepherd the sixth place car with about three for Carlin son's seventh place Jeff Levine then there's some lap traffic behind alive so he's got notre. Dale Jarrett look at the outside as they entered the tournament now thinking better of it now dale earnhardt's slides up the banking just a definite no room for Jarrett to make it loses they exit. Turn four and as the laps are winding down six cars nose to tail ultimately draft trying to get away from the rest of the field and. Shut it down maybe 23 or four as well as few as they can't the senate for winning the Daytona 500 by STD however nobody gets away that draft is just as tight as it moves back to turn to deal. Jaret Wright just inches off the rear deck of dale earnhardt's car look at the inside also has not Strickland now Boone. And the outside Jeff Gordon don't like three why because outside of. And Dale Earnhardt loves the inside as they come down the back straightaway that's not gonna help Gordon Getty now the lead draft moves back to the outside so gore has hit acclaim for the Marlins. Harlan to the outside shepherd to the inside to the deposition that I Shepperd will pick up some drafting help has just put I've slipped out of the inside of Sterling Marlin loses a position off floor. Now hold single file formation a lot of folks probably look at each other saying no to that young man who witnessed things speaking of Jeff Gordon believes cause a Strickland Dale Jarrett Dale Earnhardt. The question is the experience level on the Winston cup series. A lot of the same time worry Jeff Gordon has run big tracks many times and in Busch Series competition and so on the confidence level I would think he's there for no other reason he's attacking. I should be running up here I've got it all my career. He's been racing a long time when asked Dale Earnhardt after the qualifying race the other day when Jeff was so impressive here's a battle bullied in turn three on the back straightaway Dale Jarrett crashed out of the inside of dale. Our party grab. It's strictly goes along with him Dale Earnhardt shuffled back to the third position now struck puts the cart goes why up the back gate here comes your heart to be inside for the second spot. While that door to door was going on there just a moment ago it will allow. Dale Jarrett to slip away but not for long her heart breaks out of it Choo Choo train behind him so sales sniffs out the draft on the leader in hits back into turn one. Morgan Shepherd now comes a little bit sees jump into the fourth position they'll battle for the fifth spot side by side. Jeff Lodi Italy and sign books trick the machine Strickland who wins that battle still fall back in line in single file they get Sarah up my current artist second. That Jeff Gordon Morgan Shepherd. We'll try and line up now to not let the lead cars get away sit down the back straightaway now a group of about twenty cars beginning this sort itself out one at a time it's Jarrett Earnhardt Gordon. Then shepherded. Free Chevrolet show the way what Morgan Shepherd the first forty Lionel all stayed out of the inside of the racetrack the top five cars nobody steps out of line they draft together off the corner. We'll come back single file. Those top fifteen still tied tightly together and nobody making a move for the moment while we want somebody 921 laps to go dale earnhardt's that I like the view far better from the front. He'll make a move around Dale Jarrett bring Jeff Gordon with him. Morgan Shepherd also follows through remembered war it was running second at the conclusion of this race one year Eric Olsen he's back at the front. Had to work now with twenty laps remaining.

With nineteen laps remaining Baylor heart continues to leave the Daytona 500 by ST I mean Jeff Gordon runs in the second. That you've got Morgan Shepherd ahead of Dale Jarrett those in the top fourth and fifth places Jeff quote I'm 22 laps down. Kyle Petty has just come back on the racetrack in the mellow yellow Pontiac. But if he runs the final laps are now at some degree of decent speed not giving lap so much he could pick up at least six positions. Potentially eighth seventh position he's right now on 33 spot. Could end up as high as about 26 before it's over it's well worth it throughout these last eighteen laps almost. Closest it was to get championship has been in recent years. Even a couple of points make up. A big difference and Kyle Petty very wisely as team gets it back out there of course to get back in a race car to get out there drive if you left seeking a kind of bleed off some of the emotions that things went up your first few minutes ago let's go to the pit road. Morning hours and Dale Jarrett fans didn't make aren't there me now. I'm hale seems like he can go to the front occasionally the loan trouble stay in or does he thank you can just get up there and slayer. Well I'm not really sure he hadn't said much on the radio I think what would build a mobile is John and I just figure out just how strong he's cleared everybody else. John it's a setup here from another race you still real early as flock can happen. He's right about now a lot can happen a lot happened in the last one I laughed so. Maybe they can do this seems like when he wants to he can get a thin air especially on fresh tyres not tires and no one can. Jeff Gordon the rookie driver 21 years old finds himself riding in second place behind Dale Earnhardt here in the biggest stock car race in the world Daytona 500 by ES TP. He won a qualifying race here the other day. And we're not the same minute to go ask her heart message you know you had a good chance to look you over. That win wasn't a fluke this youngster your stay is an eight. I think he is out says several time and in this international race and he's he's got a lot of talent talented people don't realize he's got enough. His decision naturally gets an feel that race car knows what he's doing enough Vietnam wars creating years of batteries don't give in and start off her win and at Daytona that's a good that's a good natured good deal they'll if you keep. Keep her procrastinating as in the very international learning and knowledge. I know that you Karl on the other side like you know he's. You know the dollar keeps learning. That's like me today on some still learn and you know you gotta keep an open mind and good attitude and I think he will cause he's he's came this far is edited news got a good attitude. Yes beginning got the talent I think he's still making Big Ten. He's got the best teacher in the world right now arriving just in front of him Dale Earnhardt know what you can do the mastering as they say is going to be anybody's guess there's a little backstretch in the laps are winding down and right now single file back through the front nine cars can trader has cystic. Three Chevrolet sleep delay as they shuffled through the corner nobody stepping out of line and about the top seven cars as they get off turn four single file. Hit about ten minutes time we'll know how the story unfolds Dale Earnhardt with fifteen laps to go has Jeff Gordon right behind him that Dale Jarrett. Just quote I'm not strictly Sterling Marlin Morgan Shepherd Mark Martin Kenny schrader they're all within me mortified she answered taking the lead here in the 500. High speed freight train heading back indiscernible on the only one mile line is Dale Jarrett he's third in line has been taken at a higher ground returns wanna do here at the corner of courage to mix it. Right away. Back in single file got three Chevrolet is that the head of the line then to forage in fourth and fifth another Ford in sixth and seventh and eighth zealot even split among the banks is they rumbled off the three. First borderline is Jeff codeine codeine looks at the inside as again Dale Jarrett slides up the banking in three and four as well as what a joke but no real for what I did make the move everybody holds position. And Jim Phillips now pit road I've watched it all day long here in this 500 the one of the most interesting ones we've ever seen it almost looks like everybody in pit road is frozen in position that's just how intensely on watching this race. OK okay. Stronger rather probably have to deal. Richard Childress it Richard is double down the game time. But veteran kids. I know how I can morale right now but there's multiple strong car you know G ups and understood. Right now all all week down here in. So intelligent so you know it's just going to be tough you know with this that the driver right now. The last time we did not take on tires a lot of teams it has effect Vicario beat Hillary difference. Now not really city reluctant senate tiresome we wanted to stick with a he's got about seven more laps on his tires that does Jeff Gordon Dale Jarrett so effect could make you different has. So far just looking at the way they started you know earlier this afternoon Eli three of the front for well actually the top three positions right now started up in the front four spots and the only car that's missing and there's Kyle Petty. Elliott said earlier how often times a fastest car doesn't win the 500. This year it appears that. The fastest cars will have a chance of settling up. How they work our way towards twelve laps remaining in 1989 Dale Earnhardt led as late as lap 190. He has led as late as lap 194. And again lap 199. And then three very. Close but no cigar finishes for him. Have a Daytona 500 by ES TP. Now he's leaving as we come to lap 1919. Revolution to the speedway remain with Jeff Gordon is second Dale Jarrett third jump won't 9 o'clock strictly. Rounding out the top five cars in the infield near the carriers that are Winston Kelley got a report. Patty Wallace trustees' wife came out of the chairs in a moment ago and said rusty had a couple cuts on his chin and other than that. He's OK he still when they're getting a couple of stitches but the good news after that wild ride he's rusty Wallace's all right. Let's go to pit road for a and they Jeff Gordon Smith and his crew chief ray ever have. Ten laps to go you've got the rookie of the champion can get around. You know I don't know if we cannot digest not saying much you know three cars feel strong we're gonna try. Another took car was pushing earlier in the race and that's correct. Gallon while we hit a tire on the way out pit road and not tear him down a little bit and we kept working on working and we were pretty much I don't know. Or did everybody looks pretty calm for this rookie driver screws so. Third top doctor history. Eight laps to go three cars real tight together in a couple more certainly within striking distance in turn to Earnhardt Jeff Gordon and dale. Madonna knocks Maclin. Farther back than that came traitor wanted by the sixth spot but 61 back has fallen off just a bit from the front five bumper to bumper those first five in the. JetBlue dined tightens it up behind the other three Chevrolet is leading and once again sliding up the banking is Dale Jarrett Chevrolet. Jeff Levine looks to the inside know when to make the move and each time returned to Shreveport Dale Jarrett goes about a half group higher than do the other Ford cars that leave draft. Of course it all evens out what's coming out of the corner and it's against single file here at the start finish line seven laps to go makes steam not gonna turn number one. Earnhardt leads the way Jeff Gordon went behind him looking up an outside chance to be clear he looks to the inside slower traffic. The wrecked cars throughout many lives along the inside lane and it's Gordon right behind Earnhardt. Dale Jarrett following. Everybody single file on the high side of the racetrack is they clear the Kyle Petty Clark Kent trader running sixth as Morgan Shepherd right behind him. Then comes the Mark Martin Sterling Marlin tried every. Morgan Shepherd that they can move on trader at the end of the back straightaway the trader takes his car right down to the inside of the racetrack they'll hot Strickland losing the draft of the front porch just about opera performed. This is the 35 running of the Daytona 500 and I've seen all the ballots say this is one of the best ones I've seen it all those years and it is still far from being over Dale Earnhardt. Trying to silence some of his critics say he can't win the big one reason to land very much so right now. He's got three and possibly as many as five cars yet with a chance to take a shot and it went back to turn to. Re Chevrolet sleep late to forge plant and behind the Earnhardt takes it why don't go on record peaks are now open again they fall back singles. For now everyone content to ride in line all the way back through the front twelve cards as they rocket down the back straightaway beginning to approach of lap traffic as they head out of the bank plus. Oakland still losing the draft with a front for now is everybody starts to drift up the banking just to that is lap traffic is only if you Carling they had they'll stay down all the exit return for his Dale Earnhardt leads again. The start finish the indication now will be five laps to go as oil forward lean job over the started stamp. Kind of sway your toes five fingers in the direction of the drivers they get that signal that back in return number one closing in on one lapped car Bob. Applied in a kind of clothes and online season coming against the clock down aliens on the racetrack Earnhardt leads the right as they come into turn number two. Gordon right behind him Jaret looking down low single cloud and look back. Act begins to split apart what had been closing together to be a nine car draft is now split off the floor one and more than another four although there's not much distance between all four groups. Getting around eleven car splitting up the the top for just a bit and not just good I'm loses the draft with the top three Chevrolet Dale Jarrett car slides of the banking but he'll bring it back down low as they exit for. Well if there is an unknown in this. Four car group coming out of turn before it settled a total 500 biased deeply asserting the rookie driver Jeff Gordon nice impressed us and Busch grand national racing and also. What she was too tough races he's been in. Dale Earnhardt got the car he's got the experience Dale Jarrett been here long enough to get it or not. Now it's a three car breakaway and that's how it may end up settling the 500 they're back in turn two just. Jordan Scottie looking back I wondered if Dale Jarrett default and Helton and drastic course Jarrett trying to figure out if Jordan had fallen behind him when he makes his move. Right now a single wild look back straightaway everybody running nose to tail nobody dodging down the mark not making a move to try and break the draft Earnhardt and Gordon Jarrett who. Gordon tied it up just a minute the into the backs right away can't Dale Jarrett car slides up the banking but not quite so high this time he keeps it to the bottom of the racetrack on the exit of the corner as the three Shelley's rubble back. The start finish nobody's making a move nobody is yet snaking down the main straight away they'll hold their positions knows that Dale Earnhardt Gordon. Dale Jarrett or three laps to go they're heading back return number one. Goodrich Chevrolet finally DuPont Chevrolet followed by the interstate batteries Chevrolet singles while once again the women's side. There followed the blueprint for a general time at McDonald's for a much Strickland singles while working golf turn to shadows beginning. Our car. What he's ready for just about one Carling cup back literally Dale Jarrett is again Jerry slides up the banking it's sticking download Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt as they lead off the corner. Here they come back to start finish again still holding their positions nobody making a movie each time through the tribal Gordon looks inside. Jarrett looks outside or Dale Jarrett won the second spot besides Jonathan you're not gonna make a move I'll try and Dale Jarrett tries to grab second place. Sales swings at wide open during the one getting around Gordon currently has an opinion Gordon holds the inside line tries to bully that didn't turn to boot Jarrett look at why now. I'm gonna just Gordon and Dale Earnhardt did not get away most importantly while they were racing side by side if you're Jarrett fan he is there he's on our hearts back water. Knows detailed look front five as they rocket off into three minute upcoming get a turnover free Jeff Gordon trying to make the move to the inside anticipating perhaps Jerry sliding up the banking that that's funny doesn't. Our hearts like tuck the backing comes terribly excited trying to lead the Daytona 500. Little less than three miles down the checkered flag him down to the inside comes Dale Jarrett now late draft. To the start finish line and the rookie driver is gonna draft with Dale Earnhardt to try and pushing back to the front there heading for Jordan won the final time any little. Ron it's Dale Jarrett family and sign her money outside lane drifting out behind Jarrett is general Don. It'll slide Jarrett and but he didn't flood of Bernhard. What's bug I'm not going to be it's not guilty to believe there like Strickland draws up behind Jeff Levine three cars on the outside to Karzai the inside play down the back straightaway. Jarrett pleading by scarlet Bernhard played back. Is this corporate general it's my dream job but I finish coupled with a backhand now battles with Jeff Gordon for the third spot. Dale Jarrett leads Dale Earnhardt off turn four I want Charlie back to the checkered. Here they come off turn over Florida Dale Jarrett got the lead he goes to the inside her heart's not. Old Jared is going to win the Daytona quietly. Steve mile march 2 load times burnt out I'm all for fourth place coming across the line side by side. Always in the Booth next to us from where CBS sources tell. Analyzing this event meant Jared just jumping around with a big smile on his greatest mark that Jarrett the mother of that.

Passed Dale Earnhardt me didn't didn't get this Big Brother you have to get all week long we had the strongest. Think this'll probably heard Baylor heart as much as Indy 500 that he's ever had get away certainly had a car everything you're doing a lot of circumstances going on that final apple returned to there was a lot of shuffling around by a lot of cars up there. And the the best laid plans of mice and men as they say sometimes you could hear her arch voice. You hate to lose this kind that he did. Also a true champion though a lot of fellows might have a taken the time to talk to us either have Dale Earnhardt did cops they had there are a lot of teams that are very well prepared obviously. They tell me that this dale chair interstate batteries team. Has as many cars as many engines as many parts already. Set to go to Rockingham to Richmond they work do tirelessly all winter.

And at Indiana last my lapses they are ran about 250 degrees out and obviously just stay together but. Just needed little help the other Ford driver just couldn't run into corners like I could they couldn't push me out fire in there at the and I got under Jarrett after he passed Earnhardt. Her later right move just hit a teammate. So nobody up there to help get all the GM players play with a third good guys write well. I mean magic. Dale Jarrett there at the end down a straightaway because that was my best chance to get the front and I got underneath him I just needed some help underneath that to keep trying gauntlet.

Dale Jarrett winning the Daytona finally got to him a lot of credit he never lost just two all day long couple times he went pretty far back in the pack every time he came back and. With 45 laps to go he just sit up there road by the time play the right flu season Victory Lane. And once it Richard Childress or was it to Dick Brooks after talking to RC. Who at one point late in the race setup the car that that team feared the most. Was Dale Jarrett and at that point remember that Jarrett was not to running second at the year's third or fourth stick was not what are your observations who is not something we have heard from Richard Childress at the time. I think that was Tim Duncan the Jonas nick does yeah smuggling. And I think this is the second year in a row and the second generation many won this thing do right if that's for the debut last year now on it this year I mean military. That's right of course never did never found his way to Victory Lane here. And different leaders Winston Kelley lead changed hands 38 times and average speed of 154. Point 972. Miles an hour go ahead Winston. One of the gentleman that was brought up there in the thick of things we talked to him before the rise to say if he could be up there at the finish and you definitely war. Jeff Gordon tell us about those last few laughs. Man what a day like today and that's a memory. I'll never forget army run in with Dale Earnhardt and endowed chair in his gasoline. Is just. Incredibly not just I never ever anticipated had the daily do we fell behind the middle portion of the race and how we can never come back thank. OK we had we had locked our side.
