This is MRN's throwback Thursday brought to you by Sunoco also sponsored by Hercules tire ride on our strength this is Ken Squier. Time now for MRN dot coms to roll back Thursday. Classic NASCAR races from the motor racing network actual race. The motor racing network presents NASCAR today. Sponsored by goodies headache powders and extra strength tablets. The official pain reliever of NASCAR. Hello everyone from the Atlanta international raceway well the Winston cup season just going into the fourth. Race of the year the racing so far has been furious three different winners already bowed out of Daytona Kyle Petty Richmond Terry nobody a couple of weeks ago at Rockingham there's no reason to believe the racing you'll be any different here today in Atlanta some of the teams have stepped. Showing a muscle. Anbari it's a familiar name of the top of the port operators we had a race ever forward Darrell Waltrip the defending Winston cup champion what 490 points just pulled ahead of Rockingham what are Terry the body Dale Earnhardt. Jeff bovine. Kyle Petty the latter two race winners along with Rusty Wallace like speed Ron Rashard Bill Elliott Neil bought round out the top ten in the point standings and it seems this year more than ever you start talking about championship right from the drop for the first green flag in the season and the watch no sports and it's kinda close he just can't afford to give up Purdue badly and even one race if you're gonna run for the championship and so many teams are. Or are ironically at least three of the former champions are atop the points standings right now. For a lot of the drivers the season has not been all that good for Ricky dale Yarborough and the man who took it all last year Bill Elliott they have yet to run up potential as they expected to an. 86 that could change here today. They've all put in dozens of extra hours in recent weeks to turn things around fact many of the teams are saying that they'll find out here to Atlanta weather this. Indeed the Fords are a little bit further behind than they thought they were when they went to Daytona. I think so Barneys has always been known as the for the racetrack the turns here to Atlanta. Are of such a big radius most of this track is corners can elect good riding around in a in a bigs vegetable serving bowl a few well. You're in the corner so much more than her on the straightaway and that really seems to help the characteristics. Of the Ford engine. And as such this has been afford racetrack for many years surely GM cars have won here a lot but chances are. If the Fords are going to be at the front of the pack at any track on the circuit this will be the one. Had to be the fastest field in history of Atlanta to qualify here for days motor craft 500 the weather's turned out to be simply beautiful lots of sunshine right now there's just few clouds in the sky from here to there was overcast at the racetrack this morning a little light drizzle in some areas of Atlanta. But it will be perfect racing conditions here this afternoon 42 cars are ready to go. Lot of those teams Marty came out here and tested down at the speedway during their off days in mid week either last week. I would that we can off of a circuit or the week before and seem like a really made a difference in qualifying every racetrack that we go to. Is really going to be quite a different set up for all of the General Motors teams Chevrolet and Pontiac have new back windows in the money exit new slope nose in the Buick tunnels a brand new body style seems like everybody who came here tested. Wild up near the front of the field qualifying let's surprise a lot of folks you might expect to have seen up there. But we're just talking about the Fords might be a little bit behind and maybe they're not they'll find us here today let's go trackside with doctor Jerry punch and I think he's with Ricky Rudd. Barney Ricky Estandia standing with me indeed Ricky Atlanta has not been a great track for you that last year you had a good strong fourth place finish your best finish ever for third here. Your sponsor sponsors the race here today to motor craft sponsor for the bud Moore for it would really turn your team around to have a good run today. Well again not a little little slow start this year and it would be a really great time to come here and have a run good here no land on. Our cars traditionally run pretty good here we go enable the latest race the last time we are on a second third only had engine problems out. It is a good racetrack horse which is up there weren't or get a not to compete against a GM cars and. Lot of fourteen Hughes Atlanta of the gauges how well look forward to how strong the port to going to be for the year. What have you learned thus far this week here and about what kind of season pasta with a Ford products have Brady six. Well I think David hit it this week is any indication they got to work it out what since our year but you know qualified as one thing Grayson is another I'm so anxious to get everything underway in love. This thing that we did stack up against an Atlanta which is traditionally get court threat. Well Bonnie Ricky run restarting back in the pack when he third in the motor craft fourth. You heard a loud noise the background you can probably guess who just introduced on the podium. It was Darrell Waltrip to answer Jeff Jeff be to tell by that wasn't a big cheers but he got his Buddy Baker just gets once we're the Atlanta Hawks game the other night in and Walter was there and was introduced in the house sitting in the stands with a another driver who shall go nameless. And a comment was made. This Fella said that I guess nobody knows Jerrells here and Asomugha and obviously nobody boot. That there was a receptive crowd that was good ballgame and. He enjoyed it going up there understand. That Jarrett is with us this afternoon it recovering it's part of the connection along with doctor Jerry punch let's check in with right now. Aren't qualified fourth for the motor craft 500 here today Greg did get the car back together in our do you feel comfortable. Well the cars find it didn't do any chassis damaged really does she know. Feeling they did do was it to Glen last practice session from a so we didn't. We don't really know we stand a star the race but over a little off and surely can make the adjustments on the first caution for reluctantly thank you dad. PLO problem in that final practice session yesterday afternoon but they think they'll be okay for the race. The field is just loaded with talent looking down through the starting lineup 42 car strong this afternoon and a lot of the hot dogs as we said are starting far back in the pack this afternoon we'll have to work their way to the front. I think the further back anybody as one race starting here in Atlanta would have been 31 position that's been a lot of years ago. But just about any driver will tell you it's a little bit easier to run up front at the start up there but the fact that you start twentieth 25 whatever really doesn't cut your chances that much to win this race. Well qualifying is is probably not a great indication of who will run how well or how badly during the race they only have one qualifying session here Atlanta they had two sessions scheduled for Saturday. But due to the reins over on speed where most of the day the team got very little practice time Richard Petty said he had about four laps before he had to qualify that was true all up and down the line so. It maybe not so surprising to see disqualifying orders to jumbled up to what we might expect but I think now that her British had a lot of track time yesterday. Especially that last practice session. That will sequester earlier today that a lot of those he's moving up to the front rather quickly. What first game all we talked about how furious the racing has been at they told it was that way at Richmond it definitely was that way of course at Rockingham Elizabeth show that we've seen Rockingham and a lot of years three wide racing and it stay that way most of the day up there. I talk we kneeled on it yesterday he's one of the young hard charging drivers who go to the front as quickly he can't like Baylor heart and Tim Richman. Why are so many of the drivers this particular season this early running like there. Trying to dictate we have to do that there's a there's so much underline registered. Whose father Jim was team wise going and then and the fans you can say well why did I give him a bit show world are today and we run thirty race and we're gonna win three or four by at least things. Nowadays it takes an exam no move move something out of the ordinary a little more aggressive drive in the bid going and so what's happened is passing them through the ranks some of these guys that. May became an race as they're walking when a burst through three years they got a win they got they got to produce for the sponsors. So the pressure to win has more than it's ever van and an intern there begin with a possibility when it. There are under way against you because so many good right guard to just snowball and thing I'd like got three music from a big men banging his job and no courtesy anymore. When a parked at right guard right I can't say boy somebody kept it bigamy slack or don't want you moving out away you have to do that brought a broad. Thought of the Obama why everyone is driving so hard and I guess we'll see that all season long just about everybody we talk to about that subject of the garage area. Kind of echoed his sentiments Tim Richmond just being introduced to the crowd and he is pump higher than cloud nine here this afternoon. He's been that way all week long felt like he had a good strong run to win the pole here almost pulled it off but his lake Norman neighbor Dale Earnhardt knock him off by just threw a little bit in the final analysis it was her heart ending up on the pole with a record speed. But Richmond as high as we sit today and I think he feels like he can win this race and he and Harry kind of been all smile since Friday afternoon when they rolled in here. What's that the second race eroded Richmond has had the pole on. And only had it for that he'd heard a matter of minutes or or matter of ten minutes or so before getting knocked off at this time was Earnhardt just have Barney a 170. Point seven miles per hour was earnhardt's. Speed here in qualifying and winning his hold on one thing that. I saw Jan shapers excellent good bouncer at the speedway the first super speedway pole for Earnhardt. Since march of 1982 I didn't realize have been that long since he won one. Here to ai are so. I realize of them along let's go back to the pits. Barney are standing beside AJ Foyt and you draw the company taking your morals mobile and AJ you have. Starting back in fact they even get even gaining only Toobin away from NASCAR racing and now running up a more intensive schedule this year and what are your thoughts about today's growth. Well I don't know you know wouldn't have much practice not a must anthrax synod did have to wait and see you had a good race motor in the car and we lost a year sitting unifil water so we went back are they knew and so. But is he and his best we can I think we're around pretty good and talk about having a strong horse back in the feel you have another strong horse in your stable a possible Kentucky Derby entry. But Olerud and he's been out six times and won all six races in if he keeps going on he is nominee for the nerve in this keep our fingers crossed maybe should bring in the Talladega. May you wish you. AJ Foyt he's been a pretty good mood all week also what do you like a lot of the drivers they had limited practice here on Friday in little rain at the speedway in the morning. But for the most part that final practice session yesterday afternoon just about everybody seemed awfully happy. Let's take a look at the starting lineup here for today's motor craft 500.

Barney Bill Elliott is in the course smelling Ford back in fifth spot in billion won both races here last year had a look to you today well on all got more cut out farming today. I feel like you'll be a good race but still yet. Know a lot of the GM cars are running good and it's really made par on us this year.

The sun is out very bright right now and it should be ideal the rest of the afternoon. 42 cars sitting on pit road ready to go here very shortly let's go down to Jerry punch.

Well I sure hope so law. I'm pure water allow overdue so we will restore our audio today okay good luck credit. Well Cahill is the all time winner this racetrack he's won seven races in nearly half a million dollars more than anyone else and has led more laps more miles. And anyone here so if there's a driver here that knows how to get to the front and stay there certainly it would be Cahill. Today's motor craft 500 is another event the Gatorade circle of champions that is made up of seven different NASCAR racing series. Another race going on today if you're in the North Carolina area you might be headed toward a Rosemont North Carolina. And the 2 PM start today's goodies 150 the inaugural event in this year's NASCAR Winston modified series. Hopefully we'll have a report on that one later on today. Well there's absolutely beautiful here this afternoon let's take a swing around this one point five to two mile circuit. To familiarize you with the voices of the gentlemen of becoming action on the turns force this afternoon. First in the east in the speedway in terms wanna tune let's go to Eli gold. Barney as you say it is a simply magnificent afternoon weather wise. Now for the drivers for it to be a magnificent afternoon they need to have a car that handles well Mike touched on the fact earlier. Cut off the mile and a half that make up this racetrack the backstretch is less than a quarter a mile. The front stretch is rat at a quarter mile which means that turns one and chew on this end of the speedway and the other end as well. Our full one half mile around you spend much of the last from the turn it. It's a wide racetrack that you do have broom with which to work. But those who work well are on the low end of the track they're entered turn number one somewhat to the high side coming off that short front stretch. They'll then kind of cut the corner down to the low side if they're working well. Haven't swing off turn number shoot towards the outside retaining wall down that short back straightaway it's an exciting under the track turns one and you aren't will be updating you throughout the afternoon. Plot maneuvers her lead going into turn 33. Like a pass getting into that corner it's a very critical part of the racetrack early action in Korea for this afternoon let's go to Dave Sutherland files thanks party three and four as. Eli has already eluded very much the same as one until ducks get around quickly gonna wanna run with your left tires right down to the apron right at the transition point between the 24 degrees of banking. And the asphalt apron. Also here in turns three and for a brand new concrete retaining wall has been installed all the way around the inside of the track something was not there last year. To get by as we said they're gonna wanna run low elbow Richard Petty in the November race been a great deal of time might up near the outside wall seem to get around pretty nicely but. Richard has been known to be an exception when running the high lines through the turns. The fans are just packed in here I would say. There's very little wrong to do anything except probably walk between vehicles are enjoying their usual pastimes barbecuing beer and bogging. Some water has collected somewhere in the infield and I've been enjoying a lot of four Wheeling in the mud today someone's gonna behind laundry bill and an exciting race as well. But we certainly hope so bogging us that's always been a better story here. Today at motor racing network has a microphone in body Baker's Chris goals mobile and we'll try to get a word with the bakers we know we strap him down their buddy this is motor racing network and your stellar in the car. We're a minister ability may not yet haven't held a novel to get ordinance and saying okay it's just could become a two year. Okay yes but we've got to value you have such a good run going with petals at Daytona and until as you told us the whole world seemed and right in front of in that wreck in turn number four bit. That also looks like it's been a going to be a pretty good super speedway car for you. Pro apparently denied didn't pick up that time honored and Ernie time nineties and thank well. Okay that's crew chief and know will work on the problem and hopefully we will get word remote Crisco kid. As the afternoon goes on here to let me ask you quickly airplane and that Oldsmobile guards. For the bank. Yeah I think we'll go home in good shape and had card then real good in practice then. I hope when we get away get a little distance from we will be able pick get better Iraqi. Same to pick your very good clip right now but the current limits are shape and it's a great day for rights and I'm looking forward to. While sure yeah I'll be disclosed in reports mr. invective and they're beginning to clear pit road and the drivers have climbed to their cars fire the machines are very shortly they'll be on the speedway. We understand they'll take at least three laps before they turn them loose here this afternoon. Ed Hinton is they are racing writer for the Atlanta papers and did a very excellent treatment on former driver Wendell Scott the other day complete with photos and tripled to when the straw to demand a Virginian joint jarred. Scott was a NASCAR's premier black or his driver and a lot of the attention that surrounds him. In these last couple weeks is due to Willie T ribs attempted entry into NASCAR racing and rivers is here about the car and he was scheduled driving is not that I guard Ford was wrecked in a practice incidents. A last week and could not be repaired in time there's a bit of the car finished. But couldn't get here to meet the 2 PM NASCAR inspection deadline on qualifying day that isn't instituted to make sure. That all teams have adequate time to practice and get ready for qualifying and the race so that has been. Put off a bit further and paste artists out pit road leading Dale Earnhardt Tim Richman and the rest of the starting lineup 42 car strong for the motor craft 500 looks like everyone is fired on. Pit road against the pull away it. Bill like at about three laps before they turn it was to the center I think we'll see some of the best racing we've seen here a long long time as we said strongest field that has qualified here perhaps the last fifteen or twenty years vs the days of the factories back in the early sixties. There is good equipment all the way through that 42 position. Field is loaded with some young driving talent who's out to flex their muscles here in Atlanta this afternoon. There's an awful lot of veterans of the field you were just looking down the starting lineup yesterday afternoon qualifying was completed on Friday of the drivers who have been coming here for some fifteen to eighteen years and won races at this place. And it's kind of going to be the young vs the old much as we've seen a lot of the tracks last year. Well it has and it's going to be another traditional matchup between the GM cars and the forwards this is always been traditionally. Kind of afford racetrack because the engine characteristic and ask Jerry gaps well here we are chevys vs boards again re going to be able to run with them are they going to be around to do. Like to board. Where dynamics is a little bit better still go to General Motors cars have. Picked up a lot in that turned story here leather coach in charge of some greatness dinner again delegates orange dust bowl much better you know Chevrolet engine. Because our premiums are still higher range precocious did you make things didn't turn me. Thoughts of pair again. Feel just passing by the start finish line and heading back to determine a lot of silly tightening up this time around getting ready for start the motor craft 500. We touched on briefly we came on the air that this is handling racetrack if the handle goes away on the race card here you're in the world of hurt in the that you put a lot of miles on this track over the years of that. That is the one key to winning here almost every driver will tell you. Who art when you look at the fact that it turns like that two thirds of this racetrack no question about it handling is the people's cars imported don't Indy racetrack but when you have. Each stern taking up half a mile territorial bring your own the head handling characteristics off a car. Then when the car's handling good it doesn't put the pressure on the tires is there much of as much and so you're able to run faster when the towers get heated up they slowed. They'll be a big factor here that we'll be watching this afternoon is when the tires go away on the car here to Atlanta also it really affects the characteristic to the machine. You could see it gentleman who's been leading the race for fifty laps all the sudden go all the way back to tenth or fifteenth position as the field is clutching tightly in front they've settled. Feel like you got behind the terrible thunderbird these cars it begins to pick up midst made little thing feel tight stuff there. Since then I'm ready for a start. Field up in turn four now coming up they'll be in the shade for a bit as it's partly cloudy here at the racetrack. Based garments are sharp left turn it comes down the banking on the pit road worse set for the start. Feel about a 150 yards away from the start finish line is they're gets set to put a letter green here this afternoon gene pack when the actor will drop the green flag they. 500 Phillies. Hard nosed racing that first lap as they hit turn one. Everyone seems to be able to get up to speed fairly well with the exception of Richard Petty who dropped. Going in a hurry anyway offline. Earnhardt enrichment site for the latest Morgan Shepherd looking Wally has no around her aren't we'll leave the field in. Not very far. Earnhardt's car stuck run at the bottom of the racetrack and that was a key getting into turn three he'll lead the first lap here as they come down across the line. Or in New Orleans. Still Richmond is relegated back to the fourth spot grapes that's working well on the racetrack itself. Yarborough settles in behind sacks Earnhardt leads Morgan Shepherd into turn three that come into my hip right now. Is he still leading by two Carlin. Single file back to about what his second spot the some of those drivers and started way back in the pack trying to move up. Hard to do in this early going afield as a little bit struck out just to darlings of the lead turn finally suffered a sudden we have third still single mild temperature at this point this. John Carlos. Third dates right now Darrell Waltrip fourteenth this Richard Petty fit. Good scramble going on about 25 position back there AJ points locked up and that's always Dave Marcus so is Ricky Rudd as they've been running door to door leader across the line. Burkhardt takes a back and one again single file like through about the 6 o'clock. IMAP idle for six that's the joy in between kale Yarborough and breaks it was essential home the end of the moment I'm. Kinda shuffled around here's a look at the inside your girl hi Rusty Wallace Wallace can't fill here. Slams that are. Out of turnover for the complete the fourth lap this time by colonel Hart a two car length leader. Shepherd is second Elliott's lock dried out it was rear bumper it's five darlings back to Richmond on the spot satellite back. The Greg Sachs and kale Yarborough. I've been strong we've snacks holes now I have mail. Rusty Wallace right there nose to tail. Wallace takes a peek inside government can't do it anywhere that right behind him Jeff Conine right. Airport later. Car the fans are watching now will be Bill Elliott he's just bide his time the early laps here this afternoon picked his way up the third spot as he looks over Morgan Shepherd who rides the number two position back if you want to look for Elliott to make a move very shortly. About bills holding his own for the moment the knowing him for fifth place failing and Carl. Makes a low growth rates thanks goes way. But I'm working inside of sexy so tire smoke last time and attorneys on the outside your. Last lap a 164 miles per hour. Ricky Rudd moving up in the field so too is AJ Foyt trying to climb the ladder with. Not having much golf but as drivers coming up through the back include Terry Bonnie Bobby Allison Neal bonnet. It's not going to. Dropped a cylinder already running on seven cylinders spoiled all the bad luck they've had this season and last season hoping to get things turned around here to Atlanta and all of a sudden they have problems early this afternoon brought before heading for turn four it's still her heart viable full half second over Morgan Shepherd then it's Bill Elliott riding third. Right behind him as they come down the line Tim Richmond even dropping back since they put him under green Taylor Yarborough was fifth sixth as they weren't back into the corner is a good battle there. The battle for six spot Rusty Wallace holding off junk food time. The battle back behind here again always. Right now Carol lost her mind. Quickly. And home poised and tough to climb the ladder Neil bottom started back in nineteen spot he's only been able to gain one possession since they dropped the green flag run for open. The big separation now Taylor's fifth. Wallace's sixth vote minus seven Sterling Marlin as they Terry love hockey moms find Harry can't send development as. There's Walter brings. I have heel. Fires all strung out single. We'll make a move the the pass anyone if they all run low through the turn one. Quickest car to beat Tommy Ellis and it's Friedlander mortgage car he's picked up by eleven positions that they put a hundred green here this afternoon but he's having to work so. Palin in the field and really tiptoe through traffic literally the leaders are back in turn to. Dale Earnhardt coming off my stuff. Once the pieces. Right Elliot looks at the end side now Morgan Shepherd and it set him up and it turned Sheppard dropped out of the apron and closes the door on on the floor Elliott. Tires smoke copier and our time. Well Elliott may be biding his time and then again he may not because shepherd has been one of the fastest cars on the speedway in both practice and qualifying. It's a Chevrolet Buick before a Chevrolet a port a potty and if they have backed returned 11 run coming particularly tough time. The corners eighteen point. The tires are squealing and smoking as he tries. Down the backstretch now Bernhard is really opening up only got Morgan Shepherd and Bill Elliott. That's about ten Carling. And keep yourself back. The fifth place car failed god. Dale Earnhardt leads the field here in Atlanta merely going to motor craft 500 here is across a line puts lap fourteen on the board. The battle is that a good thing for second spot Morgan Shepherd currently holds onto it Elliott took a look. Outside inside hadn't been able to do anything within their into. Earnhardt finally Lotta loss of other cars he looks now the best setup any assurance dream. On top five top stunning keeps a long way. Shepherd and really got going on banning Elliott taking a higher lineman Jeff Burton driver her crime benefits a moment ago Perry gets to moving up the field as he comes. Side by side on turn to perform a Sterling Marlin and can't work in the bottom of the racetrack couldn't do it and whether he went underneath and pass Terry the body just a lap or two ago and now attacking her. Wanna give my thanks iron again. I'll make up again still has the inside position to pick up carry the body right behind him. On the racetrack it looks like it puts underneath Marlon coming off turn four. Perry get we'll get that position as they come out of well he won't get it either because Marlins plays in the probably come off the corner and sterling has done chopping off as they came out of the corner good move the young Tennessee driver. As he is giving investors a lesson early here this afternoon yet strong run at Daytona very impressive down there they're back in turn to. The Marlins win. Nobody behind him again this time he's able to take a long line. Here comes the battle for second spot village goes to the bottom of the racetrack gets underneath Morgan Shepherd they'll race door to door back into the number one corner. Are you going to turn over one now has shepherd mix up my mind really. Elliot seems. Now it keeps the pressure on his work to the inside of Morgan Shepherd areas slowing turned dream at Richmond trailing. Phil Elliott download separate case. The little girl but he may be a stay there. They are side by side they enable Earnhardt to pull out a lead of 2.2 seconds Elliott the port at the bottom of the racetrack against the shepherd of Buick and it shepherd by about. Happen garlic the start finish drives that rest and feel pretty much single file that battle for second still look at one. Still Morgan Shepherd takes a higher growth. There's been sucked into the Italian pizza Gordon wound up. He'll hold the now it looks at the inside again separate pass on my mind here's rich good looking three wide down Molly Paulson behind Elliott. Now it's still a large part determine Morgan Shepherd on the outside. Don't be surprised for. Uzbeks and three wide here in the front straightaway takes a look coming out of the corner can't. Can't get down there this time but it's still a door to door battle for second spot Elliott can't do anything with a Morgan Shepherd revised version of back and watch me. Myers tonight. Those kind of racetrack. It's been able to inch up just a little bit each time he may happen this time here's Richmond down always terrific gonna try to sign underneath. Now Elliott just ignoring those that. Two point nine seconds now is our hearts lead further back here again is finally got underneath Sterling Marlin takes away tonight spot. Off turn four it shepherd by happened garlic. Elliott comes down the front straightaway with a little more power this time and draws ride alongside it turned one this time bill trying to make. Famine Jumbo time work since I don't want us now offensive. Now it won't pull up ahead of Morgan Shepherd and looks like del Ali has won that battle for second place jeopardy comes up in the middle groove nowadays running much time as. Returns an earlier. Hard to decide which race you wanna watch the one up front for second spot of the one back for fifth. 71 back for that twelfth and fourteenth that's kind of racing we're seeing in Atlanta this afternoon. Elliott finally secures the number two spot hits back in the one. Kale Yarborough beginning to ramble a bit now he's joppy interval down Eli gold and he's catching a run for. Claims that. Turn artwork displayed at a high sign that he cares Whaley coming off my plane carrying ten driver of all eyes and just ahead of the Jimmy means he has to go for the middle group. But race traffic with a back markers though. Single file comes second third and fourth now that's Elliott Morgan Shepherd and Tim Richman kale Yarborough script. Six now is Kerry get seven this Rusty Wallace eight will be vote on their single file now Sterling Marlin night. Terror in the lobby in the tenth spot and eleventh is Darrell Waltrip will get a quick word with the honorary starter this race Gene Hackman. Those cars was a virus on your reading quite a hurry.

Good race going on here to Atlanta right now we're just what do five laps into it 328. Make up the motor craft 500 this afternoon as Dale Earnhardt. Takes a bribery left off a couple of weeks ago up at North Carolina motor speedway. And stayed there for quite awhile hearing Gilles at the turn of the three his lead just about the same as it was a little better than four seconds the bill Elliot tries really man. Elliott has nothing but daylight between himself and leaders they were Jennifer perform back down the line. In all the car that it really on the move right now right here. Okay. You know me. He's in turn one. Away the run and again brings. Again those around Jimmy V genre what happens Arlington County to life behind has. Head off a deterrent for again is pulling away yeah. We'll get a moment ago on the situation we talked about yesterday drafting along with the Florida race cars are you better off with the Chevrolet and leaving the port in the draft the following. No really no orders Bernhard and I don't know goods. The C stay with the was ordered to. And until way after a car. We'll turn because of the windows supplements your hardest they would do it turns in this best you stay in front of the bush is they would possible.

Good race going on back there for third spot a moment ago it was almost three wide and it may be before they get back the start finish line is Joseph run we'll make an unscheduled pit stop what's your comment a moment here come that battle for. Part comes the battle of the but the third spot Morgan Shepherd manages to hang onto its emirates has been underneath him a couple of times and Harry Gant has been knocking on the doors they moved Eli gold. I'm Morgan shepherd's tires consistently been riding up. I have my good. What a great reflect badly for the last few laps that's kept. And helps Morgan again as they come around us our vehicle coming in turn three that's a 100. Shocking headlines and again more fantastic Ohio around lake speedway things. Last gotten my Richmond now on we'll send them. Born here cern art across the line Bill Elliott comes past 3.3 seconds back it's about rehab seconds back then. The third place Morgan Shepherd Jerry punch in the garage. First kind of broad market but poncho Carter in the Kmart Ford until the problem. We Elmo finally heard Jack in the car they haven't objects in the gonna try to get podshow back out. That battle for third spots open to turn green and Curtis Martin separate us whining pulling away from Harry can't Spybot for a car lengths right now but can't reels of man. Jauron and is on pit row they have the hook up on the Kenny Bernstein currently Quaker state bureau computer work hand in a moment. On the morality of Joseph Rutland. And it. They reported just on a lap down as leader came across a line of all we go swept off an eternal one Dale Earnhardt puts Ford eleven now. Very early this afternoon just 34 completed. And troubles on the road cars that could continues to remain up and it looks like a couple of crew members are working frantically over there let's check in with the NC it was report. Cars definitely meaningful I think cardholders squirting water cannon and not trying to get it through them think like you have that problem Rockingham. Around there where they run and they have a good back now manner about defendant away when you look a lot of. They've been hot and cold all week long practice session they would go out and be delighted with the car that'd go back out the next practice session all of a sudden it just seemed to get the job done for. And coming up and down all week long but he's still sitting up. Road losing a lap after lap to the front runners were 35 into the motor craft 500 here this afternoon as Dale Earnhardt leads Bill Elliott the separation of what we go in thinking. Just a little more than three seconds. And it does not shortening up all that quick as Earnhardt comes across the line hits back at the turn number one here comes Elliott right behind him. And they're heading for Eli gold and turn to. They're more behind the mask was born prior channeling here. They're going a lap down Harry can't has finally take advantage of Morgan Shepherd who's not just a group in the quarter down on the highest point of the race. On the cart goes my shot. Dad got five nice move the last time fine and looks like mortgage shepard's dark. Comes into turn three just wants to shoot right up the bank he's gone way up in the top groove now it turns floor. We know Rodman and don't back down into like. Let's check rent Laird who. I couldn't understand it and I'm sure you're asking what. We're over me again just like within Iraq. Look at all last two weeks trying to change stuff evidently. The clock coming along thanks for your round loss to the the couple laps to get a work scoring here will delayed an update you exactly where he has but he did lose at least two left so it's going to be a long day for revenue and sales. Good battle going on back about twentieth spot Phil Parsons and Dave Marcus and part of Eli gold they come. And fill the post on the racetrack Marcus and Rick Wilson goes trying some money. That's been a good battling cancer earlier wants forestry why would Bobby Allison Alex Wilson leading Marcus and done Phil Parsons and you have to go pretty high to turn. Mark has taken only up.

Coming up let's pick up a winning position he's 22 bombing when junior thirty. Now the backstretch here I was about to catch a group or race cars. The tail end of which is on Bouchard is because my body while walking ahead Kenny straighter and Kyle Petty and deal bonding. Jerry brought to senator Joseph Rutland. What do it's been a short day for you what put you out. It the engines decision miracle that Warman. We really can't figure out what the problem has been I'm sure it's nothing major we just don't wanna. When I heard the car up below the motor up because it's just wait wait too costly even on that. About the condition of the racetrack itself yesterday at The New Yorker writes a lot of acid attack was awfully slick. I think it has spent it didn't act any differently than what we thought it was going to use so I think everybody is probably close enough they gonna just now from where they're at right now. We don't run of the Quaker state Buick park in your Atlanta. What good battle on the track is back about thirteen spot. Winston cup champion Darrell Waltrip is battling Georgia short tracker Jody Ridley Ridley driving a Ford in mesa wants auto parts tellers pulls right up on Walter returned three. Just like there is comparable cars running through the middle broke Walter had trouble all day launch things always are way up near the wall right now greatly taken out of the game. Darrell Waltrip drifts extremely high up and turn it reinforce that come back down the line. Ridley is right there they'll race door to door back at turn number one for that position. Don't you give a good run here in Atlanta got given a good life. We'll be back Chevrolet wound up just a bit more.

The motor craft 500 we're seeing a half a dozen cars or more that are having severe handling problem you can either in the racetrack Westin and three and 41 and two down. Still speedway. But you Eli golden seal comes through there you go right up against the wall. They really well we've talked earlier about Morgan Shepherd. Here comes Richard Petty and mean. It's the same thing. The Obama. Like Dover Delaware to one. No portion of the racetrack lets go to generic. Wow we're gonna come and purchase them on this and pit road and they now. There aren't what they needed due to a level there are other independent wrote a very long standing now without a father. We're in the room here in the air again they're. It still awfully good here and it requires Roland hooked up real well. Okay she's. Let's get you know my. Did you know that thing possibly. It's just the. I got another. Have a daughter. Good battle for who hit a lot of pregnant women urgent phone Bill Walton aren't everything. And anything else. Yeah man around town cars limitless. We had to move upstairs. There's just Robin guy right now. Where Randy it's not unlike. Omar the one thing. Towers they don't have to make an adjustment to do them or they can. We're gonna have to do something because as bands are getting through the corners losing an awful lot of ground good battle for seven. Position a moment ago and it's going to be four cars involved in that very shortly as it's going off turn over to Rusty Wallace currently holds onto it. The Sterling Marlin and find taken away and so is Jeff Levine. Right now honestly it's an industry marlin behind him next job. Terry how funny the funny thing my mind he's. Some handling problems are due at the front of the field as three point seven seconds from Earnhardt back to second place Elliott and another. Gap back to Harry gets about three seconds separate again and Morgan Shepherd and Mary Lou Cannon right middle of that as he runs down the back straightaway workday Sutherland. Here again right now is closing in on two's Smart. Money Harrington Kyle Petty but he can see easily kilometer ahead of the missing exit. Earnhardt in the crew apparently really done their homework fears they have and most of the tracks they've been through all season long in the department of getting the card to stick where they needed to and that's the bottom of the racetrack. That they put mustard greens this afternoon that he made a move real quick to hold on the one hand he's been able to run right at the bottom of the speedway all day long. Party told me yesterday the coming your last week to test for this race played a big difference for his team. You know I am. Right now everybody's got anybody's foul everybody in this this situation now we've got to know existed at the racetrack and see what cardinal may come. You might have changed a lot in together racetrack and just practice time and adventure race. He had really got enough time to sort car I would say what you want and they then we do anyway try to go in you know doing little dance some more we get to the race and Halloween just card you're trying to present heads into a car loans. The issue you know ahead of the game has big. Whatever they have got to sort it out. Phil Parsons made an unscheduled pit stop the moment going coming out of the pits ran over the air posed. And thus he will come back campers stop go penalty and they may take down an opportunity if you look. Award tires on it. Dropping off the viking up in turnover for the backup pit road here just a moment only a couple of cars have gone out of the event here this afternoon if you just showing her broadcast. Poncho Carter had problems in the 64 cars would. Eleven point nine. Joseph runs the latest retiree has taken his Quaker state machine behind the wall apparently. 55 laps are now complete in the motor craft 500 and back on him. Still machine junk filled hearts getting right side tires on a machine Dale Earnhardt continues to set the pace of this afternoon. Again. Even at 55 laps on the tires he's able to hang. And right at the bottom of the racetrack that's been the difference born June sentencing works author of before and back to the line a moment ago Elliott head shorten up just about a half second yourself. Now the interval is just about the same doesn't seem to be gaining any ground is losing everything they certainly isn't gaining anything it's a move to Eli go. They don't think the race traffic offense better than his Bill Elliott Earnhardt with a laugh I'm Michael Waltrip Dave Marcus Rick Wilson Tommy Ellis got by the the racetrack that was kind of trying to take different mindset coming up slower cars and where are resilient and able strictly literally had. It's only about eighteen or nineteen cars left on the lead lap at this point has put 55 laps of green flag racing from the drop in a stream of new warrior. There are dips underneath Trevor boys the boys two laps down in turn one. Once again earnhardt's. It's up maybe a half. Elliott. We're gonna go take a negotiators break through five slower cars and car because. Molly's doing that area again is. Closing in rather rapidly now five cars ahead of Elliott again is probably fifteen Carlin saw mr. walker coming up. Thinking way outside the tourniquet time. Here is an AJ Foyt bringing his car on the pit road and at this could be a regular stop for him. It's. Right now the minority. Again. Ten season grew red jumping into a lot of those cars to make Jesse just Morgan Shepherd Richard Petty probably half a dozen cars running way up near the wall. And this racetrack that is the long way around. As Dale Earnhardt came out the back straightaway at a car slowed in dipped down off the banking the crew was ready for to make his stop and is dale called in on a radio. All of a sudden season Gordon standing there holding a sign were started jumping up and down. Yelling in frustration Bernhard has run out of gas and he's now lost 23 seconds on that broad. They pushed him down that road is gone one lap down the field and he's up on the racetrack that makes the leader. Bill Elliott's. Dale Earnhardt apparently running out of fuel making that stop cost him a lot of time we're seeing pit stop right now and quite a few of the cars beneath parts available to go so is Bill Elliott so is kale Yarborough. And Tim Richman let's go to pit road. Elliott in many parts of almost. Barney hall today. Welcome extra time and hit it enhances their response. And thank you went back now. Look father down they broke him right. Woke up around. Well Greg Sachs making routine pit stop it okay. TR deadly car outstanding in the Dale Earnhardt did with this car owner Rick your children in Madrid over the scheduled pit stop anyway but he ran out of fuel over there. You know if things get mileage you know I don't know what it is we didn't. We just thank you know. Details of the cars OK go now yeah I side we just didn't get an hour. All the best to you as a couple other cars many here now. Lord now pit road feel. Wanted her wedding ring is part. Routine green flag pit stop putting problem also put aliens aren't Pontiac Rusty Wallace from NASCAR to return to the very much off the patient. Possibly could be out of fuel and and it's kind of strains that are hardest hit fuel problems at least three races this season here's Richard Petty bringing the FDP Pontiac onto pit road it would be a routine stop for him along with buddy Eric and to Wiki as they get ready to go back out of the racetrack here. So we'll see everyone in the pits here in just a moment here's Jody Ridley making a stop this afternoon is good to see Joey back on the list of tour also. And he ran well battling their along side by side ten or eleven laps Trevor boys and Michael Waltrip making their respective stops here's Rusty Wallace coasting down that road and I'm surprised that so many teams seem to have guessed wrong on fuel mileage and only getting about ninety to 94 miles. Here on this first tanker gas to Billy Graham the holes. Since the drop of the green flag. Under the green. Net maybe the barometer change since early morning and they they set up the carvers what I don't know what I would have expected most of these cars to get better mileage and I have. Good to block out of the window most commonly six happily now we have here. Our year long now. Like I don't want causes them to get a hundred miles and then some some more or less jet boat he's still out there just easier around the racetrack is here is Darrell Waltrip back on the pit road. Collect it okay this would be news. No not hard enough. Spending bow waiting for doubtful about. That's good judgment on this car. You still have their dad their moms. Well Perry gets a pit road right in front of a jerk but his end of the fifth changed right sides on this golf library in Travis Carter recruit good hits. Like to be something to keep in mind here a little bit later this afternoon show of these races remain green the final hundred miles or so and gas become a factor it'll be interesting to see who will. We'll try to Campbell. Apparently earnhardt's. We cannot because he ran out of fuel very early. Morgan Shepherd to lead shepherd of the race so far spirit and had yet to make he has pit stop and now he's slowing down and turn dude Greg Sachs goes underneath them. Here's what I'm not pit road that team which has got great gas mileage at Daytona wound up in Victor dateline. We all both legally deadlocked real life joined right in front of me. You'll back him up very little lines and pull our network sound like he blew a tire there and had. He's just starting. I turned off. What else. My opinion Buick. Are raging inside making take children making it. Funnel that Hardwicke. Good run for shepherd here this afternoon he would Jake elders seem to have hit it off well they dropped the Jack on his cars he rolls back out of the speedway. And I'll just about all the pro. Back out on the racetrack and here is Jeff we'll the Levi Garrett car making a second appearance on pit road let's go back and it. And brighter than. I'm going to think. That road here and you. Netted them. We're working on the left side. Let's play with a little Kim Richmond's guard everybody else and I'm thinking right now. NASCAR's posting Ricky Rudd as the race leader rod was one of the first cars on the road in the bud Moore motor craft towards their event here today. Right now he is a driver in front there's joined Bryan in second part of your stocks are plotting. Up to the front of the pack let's make it Kerry camp in second and Bill Elliott third doing it from NASCAR has things will get sorted out. In the scoring here. We've really rod may in fact be either a lap down a run on the tail and I believe that part of a double check that. Here is Neil wanna down pit road of the crew go to work on his car for real change right side tires let's go to this. Right side tire change the mind wander through my mind not running threat right right. My career for Tim romantic music seals on. It's not for real mother they get him back on the racetrack and this is jumbled up the standings considerably there's still showing Ricky Rudd as the leader can't would be second right now. It looks like Britain. Third place car Eliot would be fourth. And that is the way they're running after this round of pit stop we emirates and has just come off pit road and dusted the field all of a sudden as he is zip around everybody to assume the lead here this afternoon is beginning to pull away from second place Kerry camp. Let's see if Ned Jarrett and his bits are spending. Well we know that the love of gardening and Amanda. Remind Tyler that. And I handed Martin got okay well now Marvin always loved doing that whether or not. Kind enough. Well then I guess they make submitted Jesse James. The Coast Guard since the days that you race back in and not just in because actually they do it every month announcing like that somebody comes up when you've accomplished. Littered race whatever it is. Getting rich from around the racetrack a lot quicker than anyone else he just doesn't feel. It's ailment. Not really what if you remember last year when he had vote I'm here than it a couple of tire changes on the car and he was about to run away with the race they had some problems in the latter part Evan in the course a couple of tracks we saw last year thinking. That's done at the Darlington someplace. The left side tire suddenly made a great deal of difference and Harry get star when he just that literally. Blew everybody away up there so we'll watch that this afternoon the drivers can tell you hear the tires are very big backer. Part of what we get from NASCAR Tim Richman is the leader he is just garlic to Seoul ahead of Perry get a moment ago and is now. Stretched that advantage quite a bit Bill Elliott is the third place guard Elliot is about a dozen car likes. Behind again. It's almost like the straightaway back to Morgan Shepherd shepherd is posted here at fourth and Dale Earnhardt is the birthplace cars six is Rusty Wallace seven to skill Yarborough. And eight is Benny Parsons. What we have the rest of the field has gone a lap down after making those green flag pit stops due to the distance that Bernhard. And Elliott could put on the field just prior to making those stops we have not had a caution yet here in Atlanta 79 laps are completely motor craft. 500. Feels bringing out a little bit after that round of pit stops grit and as we told you we first came on bears really been pumped up all week long. Ours that goes into the policy seems to be as happy we've seen a long long time of the wave running here this afternoon he should be. We cornered him in the garage area here the other day and ask him. As a relationship with the Harry Hyde as good as it appears to be for you. And now. I got you know I got a baby boy Harry and I like cream and her mom are like I'm being green. Now. We've really mix well we may do better than anything we have we're not Michael Weiner. Now they look like I'm okay nine we have not. Agree totally in big CNN. It does not. You know I didn't like you're gonna find out to make that they. Radio broadcasters and make suppress stay off our back. This is back and win it I'm back here fails and no lie but I believe everything. You know I've done contact me means that you think they've been pretty darn good and now you don't think they're gonna change and I just don't think. Eight million. I don't know I gotta go and I'm in Maryland beginning thought well dug in on. He says he'll do whatever Harry Hyde tells you what they've been running I don't blame. And help Atlanta move you very high was hiding behind to watch. But that didn't know it was there he was looking for an expression like the coffee cream or coffee sugar or whatever and hairy stuff. Two bucks and so how but nitro and dynamite he. Definitely that would force all over. A Morgan's efforts plus the panel on his car once again whatever change they made it. Morgan is still running way over the top of the racetrack one driver that seems to have picked up his kale Yarborough kill was running toward the back end of the lead lap. Again he's got that party support glued right now to the bottom of the racetrack. Three wide to come off turnover for its Darrell Waltrip up on the outside try to gain some advantage here Trevor lawyers the man in the middle. Jimmie being too that's fine run enrichment a letter part of that race trouble cratered very we've got one car that's Rick Wilson spinning an intern Lauren is got to straighten out. It goes up and just taps downside while keeping an eye right in front of Morgan Shepherd separates my smiled almost. Sheppard played a good move to keep out of that car as Rick Wilson drifts now out on the apron of the track it puts us on the first caution flag for the end Jeff Levine introduced the basic driving up there who want an accident also. We see Rick Wilson now with a car under power coming on around the speedway. But this'll put everybody back on pit road as it will be the first caution of the day for Rick Wilson spinning up at turner before they just lightly tapping the wall. We've got to grinding grass under the caution flag of returned Maria Jimmy needs coming in under the caution into turn three a cart has seen a break loose slits on the bottom of the racetrack right up to the wall about midway through the turns back in first. Rip the back of the car off this battle all of the racetrack Jimmy is moving around in the car right now. Probably on fox when they get out as the rest of the cars go by but he really rip the back off that car parked on the wall but he seems to be okay. Car looked like a stick of dynamite went off and when it came off the outside wall and slid down to the apron of the track in the emergency crews are at his position right now we'll get a word on him just as quickly as we can we'll see more cars coming onto pit road again let's collect the pits. Practically everyone invited him stop your news culture and Barney and most other ban on this end of pit road and then you know import cars even though there was a moment though that they. But right it's. A good time. Nevertheless they all things sports car during this Dawson okay. On him. Let's go back to turn three and they've settlement. Change is out of the car now and walking away from that I'll tell you how bad things word he just walked over to the infield and picked up one of his coil springs. That's so much the Bakken got ripped apart he picked it up soon in the car and eyes walking off toward pit road to rather dejected but more on that stuff from Jerry punch. Top of the hour is like a car Kerry gets hit in the for the caution car got on the racetrack it's at right side tires only had to come off the Jackson go by caps keep losing a lap has come back in the take left side tires meanwhile Kyle Petty also took four tires back here. I'm pretty heavy duty Jesse James on the Kyle Petty 7-Eleven Ford. As Leonard what was jacking some weight in the right front of the car most of the crew's day here have completed their work they're still waiting. But the reason for this caution that's Rick Wilson is a captain Tony's Morgan McClure Oldsmobile has yet to make it back the pit road they're standing here with a clipboard out waiting for Rick decree settled the bill back. On the pit lane. Rick Wilson brought the caution out just O'Neil he spun up at terminal four and tapped the wall Jerry punch is in his fits. We're Tony Glover the current chief for the captain Tony's old love bill and Tony have some really damages the car knowledge is not so happy anyway have a travel with the flags I don't know what it is we're. Some magic blessing gain seats here sound to touch the wall they have been turned for now. Okay Tony Glover they have played four tire chains they were make it to just. Marie Hartman again you can hear the car would not. Catcher to try to leave pit road they had to push the car all the cool clutches he said would not can barely limping on the apron of the track authority like gold position not coming up to speed at all. He is on the apron of the racetrack maybe a dead fifteen miles an hour now the cars seems to kick him just event. How does he comes towards the exit of turn number two you'll hear the cars are covered by all by itself. Trying to pick up some speed. We're so very much off the page. Really a heartbreaker for Jimmy means he led a few laps up at Richmond fairgrounds raceway a few weeks ago and a lot of plans were up cheering for the young likeable driver up there one of the top independents on the circuit who struggle for a lot of years hoping for a good Winston cup ride one of these days. And one of the heavy sponsored cars to really display what he can do with a race car. That is probably what makes most of the guys hang on because there's so much talent out there a lot of just never get a chance to get in the kind of car show what they really can't do. Well mr. remains just told us it's not easy being an independent on this circuit. Bob all muttered I'm forcing them out not only got a real good that in order for the Carter says an eight MI output and hours thanks. Now another big thing to realize boys get that done him some good motivate his name out then we get into what we're doing now. He did get out of the car under his own power over there just won't go but he may have now been taken to the infield care center in the analyst justice precautionary measure. And perhaps Jerry punch can find out and give assume a word on and maybe even get a word with him. When he comes out of the infield care center here in just a moment. 989 laps are complete and the motor craft 500 this afternoon 328 make up the distances across the start finish line. Tim Richman is that the head of the pack but there's still sorting the field up because most of them laid a couple of pit stops under this caution. The accident with two means happen intern number three he would come out of the pits it was coming around trying to catch up to the tail end of the field and that's why he was running at speeds sufficient enough to. Damage that car severely the Bakken and a car when he hit the wall up in the third corner he was not running along with the pack at the pace car speed which here. His about seventy miles an hour. Tom chambers is join us in the Booth for the moment he's the Chief Executive Officer goodies had a cars enough I'm sure it's only coincidence that as soon as you come by we've also got three or four good candidates to reduce medical. Warren well my sister and a thing about that Mike we've also made it found it six laps then all of a sudden. Here they go every which way the real exciting I'll decide then it's going to be hard decided to deserve to get his head recorded this time. You know the folks downstairs thrust in the press box approach that an oven it's a tough thing to do if they sign that ballot more than five Lester for the end of the race with their choice. The chances are it may not be right on the way these races ago on labor. Well I did example there was Richmond on the tour that started voted then on the next to last laughter we had that famous Saxton and I would another sure they would vote again then broke Richard Petty told we have today eases you you win their duties at a court. The 500 dollars is nice is to return up with 50000 dollar race car to win it is is not good economics. Well Lester misses there's thank all the fans realize. This is just a way up for us to say we're sorry you cataract but here's some good is it like routers. And some money did you repair the damaged or can't get the race trim 500 dollars but to sample a good as they come in the gate and of that covenant ground we are doing that. Thanks Tom thank you my top favorite for goodies. 91 laps or complete here at the racetrack right now we're still working under caution this afternoon. And there indicating that Tim Richman might be the leader he is that the head of the pack he made good pit workable ego when a couple of stops got in and out. Funny neon hitch came in immediately as you pointed out assuming that that caution flag came out he took on four tires there's some confusion here in his fifth. That's the whether he might have gone a lap down. The other cars were still going at a pretty good clip but there of course get that straight now Buddy Baker. Came back in the held him laugh them that according to what was being said here in the fifth that he had picked up a lamp and they just took it back away from. When cardiac came on their road just to the exact same time that Tim Richmond didn't get his lineup for the reckon I feel so when it. For score history with Seles who wrecked him well but Perry can only took on two tires when he came in came back later and took on the other side tires. So more respect cap NASCAR's chief scorer will have to sort this all out forests and will update scoring for your. In a moment. Next Sunday motor racing network will be going up to play year old beautiful Martinsville Speedway and usher hope all the dog wouldn't Izzo you're in bloom but. The racing is going to be fantastic it's racing's biggest triple header it's Miller time 500. It has NASCAR late model stock cars NASCAR Winston modified cars and NASCAR Busch grand national received some they Winston cup drivers going up drop their one of those is Greg Sachs. So glad to be going to come on it's automotive more. I haven't. There last year what that we don't like them not now when. That fury 44 pretty much clean house down at new Smyrna in February and many people feel what sex is climbing in what is right at this moment the best car that circuit. Well Carlos got down there. We're ready to driver and America doesn't stop for the Japanese OK can get a good combination. At Ron Rashard Lewis to drivers who may compete up but player rules racetrack next weekend motor racing network will bring all the action. I'm racing wildest triple header on Sunday after 1 PM eastern standard time on many of these station. Mike joy we can't we do remain just been released from the infield care sitter Jamie first of all UK I'm found them alive and no hum another wrong made car store up. What happened over there has that you lose my everything was just look at that level one and at the rate either blew a tire blew moderate in this turnaround backed in the wall. Would like to get awfully hard well it's wired sinners no no link to make it to swap the car. What do remains one of the independent driver too far city out of that he's okay but the car is real used up. It's tough break for Jimmy means is Rick Wilson makes other pit stop here in the front straightaway trying to get his clutch problems straightened out next Winston cup race. It's sunny April 6 the high banks high flying Bristol international raceway that'll be the valley dale 500 the Busch grand national cars will also take on Bristol Saturday of that weekend April 5 in the Budweiser 200.

And tomorrow it'll close out the month of April back at Martinsville Speedway for the sovereign bank 500 Sunday April 27 all of these be ways have a ticket offices open right now so. While during this caution period of I wanna call often reserved your seats for the best show in racing NASCAR Winston cup style. Like speeds turner lost lower gears is that Bush's base wants auto parts Pontiac back out after a pit stop HB Bailey. He is on pit road looks like they've affected the driver change in the number 54 car was what jobs replacing. Any Beers while they make a pit stop here as will be going back to green fairly shortly in Atlanta international raceway this is that our revved the motor racing network. Yeah. I'm. When it comes to safety nothing is more important than your vehicle's brakes if it's hard to stop where you hear squealing their grinding noises during braking stop by O'Reilly auto parts you'll find a brake parts you need from trusted brands like Greg best of break best select that everyday low prices. Play it safe with breaks from O'Reilly auto parts better cars better prices every day. Mubarak's. The racetrack to the road home fill up the Sunoco the official fuel of NASCAR. So who make high quality performance fuels for the greatest drivers in the world both on and off the track whether you're pulling up to the pump. Or into the pit. You can trust sonoco to speed of fuel that feeds you go second campus and a coach feels going. Fill up with the official fuel of NASCAR's sonoco BS and so grateful. NASCAR inspectors along that broader explaining to the crews via. Possible liabilities and getting too early for a caution car picks of the field as net surmise that is exactly what happened to Tim Richman and also caught Benny Parsons. And kale Yarborough putting before the caution flag picked up the field. Perry GAAP ducked into the pits and got out and around the safety car and he is the race leader it was gold at a Chevrolet. Dale Earnhardt good network from the team won the world championship pit crew contest up at Rockingham a couple of weeks ago that as Dale Earnhardt. And their car is posted in the second position Morgan Shepherd is lined up third Richard Petty is for a Bill Elliott is fifth. Six this Rusty Wallace seventh. He is Terry the body ate this Darrell Waltrip and ninth is Ricky rod. Those that's the way they'll line up behind the safety car now right behind the pace car but in front of Barry get the race leader on the tail end of the lead lap. Will be Tim Richmond Benny Parsons and kale Yarborough. Coffee cream and sugar theft. They're not gonna be all unhappy about being on the Taylor into the lead lap but a lot of times when you duck under the pit road a little bit earlier and it points out a lot of our broadcast it can cost you would think myth that after years and years and years of doing this. That it would not happen but it happens to the best in the business. Integrated. Barney and win when you come home and road and things like you know later this man is gonna get back home and might come up next minute burst back. That it's the leader of the right to come down. And everybody else is still running had a pretty good clip. You can't live and on the left of the cars are going to have a pretty good player. We're hearing that was the key to this one he and Richmond came down together and and Richmond getting four tires cost him but yet getting quick service and getting back out by the time the pace car had the field in Tokyo was there and he had caught everybody else he caught those three cars. Richmond. Benny Parsons and kale Yarborough by getting service and and pace car coming around and catching them so they are just barely on the tail end of the lead lap. This has been a lengthy caution flag that the original thing that brought about Rick Wilson spending up and turner before is not the reason has lasted this long. Jimmy means he told us just a moment ago that something broke on the car going to turn over three to sit him backwards into the wall almost squarely. Running full race speed in just demolish the tail end of the car. Belong clean up period over there and again if you just order broadcast Jimmy did go to the infield care center he came out of that he is fine but the car is in really bad shape. There for many years we called a current Broadway motors' Pontiac and and Jamie wanted to step date he is getting some help from Broadway motors but he is looking for a major sponsor for the season and summary of like who might be listening wanna help out one of the top independent beholden to means open for a city North Carolina is one of many teams here. They're looking for some sponsorship help and he certainly hasn't been one of the top and a tennis in the tour for several years.

February 1987 as our grand prize winner. Hillary at double file restart is gonna put a whole new complexion of things this kale Yarborough and some of the cars are right up there a moment ago now find themselves down the inside the racetrack will be scrambling to get back up there with a front runners as they bunch up for start and turn three. And don't forget Tim Richman and Benny Parsons sit in front of Harry Gant has taken off the greens are living inside rolls down. Will be Jeff Conine kale Yarborough sterling. All they are getting set to try to stay ahead of your race leader again as they come off turn four. Everyone took on at least four tires you this afternoon they couldn't take off anymore relentlessly got a spare in there somewhere so they're set to go do some racing here very serious style for a few minutes as they dropped the green Richmond brings them down in a hurry. They love him we let one Harry can't get himself caught up in traffic now bust loose quickly three tires and got back on the for the moment Tim Richmond. And right behind get you'll find Dale Earnhardt and kale Yarborough running side by side in market share. Earnhardt's quickest thing on the racetrack he came up alongside tail coming out of turn two. Wasn't faster down the straightaway but in the corner. Just managed to pull away from Yarborough who is now a lap down in the race leader their racquet one sorry can't continues to show the way her. In Arkansas an eight car lanes down behind Harry Gant. Still ahead in the race later he shot. Racing to catch up let's see what happens when a very Gaddis a committed attorneys about eight. And Bill Elliott show exclusive Richard Petty and he'll move up another spot on the feels he threads his way through traffic trying to chase down the leaders got to get a little high coming out of turn over. For fans can't call them back in the turnover one Eliot's on the blue. Bill Elliott in the evening go to the high sign of the racetrack for the moment and keep that Ford Motor wound up it may be the way to help he can. Oakville penalty. Let's go to Jerry putts unscheduled pit stop for Ricky Rudd. Ricky Rudd has a tire going on the left front tire apparently going flat load of crap ordering a change left side tires unscheduled green flag stop. Hello leaders will come by a little left in the pit stop break for Roddy was the right place Carly dropped the green flag for the restart Morgan Shepherd moves up underneath feeling Yarborough shepherd is on the lead lap. Joining me very proud and here comes Phil Elliott knocking on the back door bill. Timing of moving inside Sterling Marlin unable to pass into the high shine last time. Bill's point. On the racetrack. Behind kale Yarborough things up I know what to the inside government now sickening okay geography is of the Roman. Plus drop down. I had a lot of cars that were caught back on that restart playback in the middle feel really having trouble getting out of traffic and up toward the front of the pack do you wanna Carroll walked a couple of those. Also right now field Yarborough is going back to. Wars Elliott gets underneath him and turn one. As Bill Elliott makes a move to get past K okay well. Dale Earnhardt. Good Morning America. Earnhardt's able to get off turn to lower them again. It's not a lot to Tomlinson park called running very normally. In our line brought his back in the pits this time for left side tires leaders swing off turn number four back to the start finish drives. Gary again by just about a car length over Earnhardt at Morgan shot for economics and every car battle Morgan Shepherd joins them tightening things up sun shine so this and it was. He didn't blow off turn two runs right side by side there are coming into the fray anything. Shepherd it was a little minor heart with a high airliner. No that's that's a good racing like they're the last three laps throughout his no over here comes shepherd getting down the inside gets offender alongside of her heart as they come out alive now he's gonna tuck back in single file at the front realized together quickly let's go to new road. Ricky Rudd back in the head still standing beside Greg Lauren Gregg got hot looking car. Their starting. Left wrist bracelet they brought it back again have a liver Tyrell the rejuvenate the rear of the car and Rudd still sits in the fifth two. Percent when it rains it pours. Sure is applying some of the racing teams in the early 1986 Winston cup season front three knows details are worked out of turn over four going to be a good battle player for the lead this time. Hasn't worked out a start finish line this camp in front Bernhard is right behind it behind him was Morgan Shepherd and those three cars working extremely well. I must not forget the native son Bill Elliott barely two more car. On planes down to Morgan Shepherd it's still. Hail balls from the inside drives it down inside he's dry understated inside and yet they draw alongside yeah they aren't. It's very hard and shepherds living underneath there. Again being connected on my side and it's. Dale Earnhardt jobs is way to the front of the pack Morgan Shepherd right within both drivers known as the chargers. As Ricky Rudd come back on the racetrack and it's now third. And Eliot continues to watch her fourth spot maybe not for long. You got to be impressed with the handling of Bernhard you've got to be a freshman Bill Elliott who picked. It's not a good you want a second behind Richard Petty and also impressive of course Morgan Shepherd one at the end of and running here. Jake elders and crew chief but right now they're running right on here. Ricky Rudd is back on pit road for the third time Jerry. Well they were saying that a guy like that. The way it's golden. Let's get back on the road and now blood. The photograph broke. Dale Earnhardt just getting under Jeff Foote that will not be the leader Bernhard is a leader but he has all what he can snap Morgan Shepherd turned very shepherd is good right earnhardt's bumper to Vicki got underneath but not as well they'll stay there. Outstanding run this afternoon for Morgan Shepherd and I think Ned Jarrett is standing by with a crew chief plummet car Dick Gilbert. What Jenkins looking. The company could not afford them. To download. It's not a good. And we hear people. Hurt or get up popcorn. We don't they look like her awhile to handle it. It is fine. Looking at people around flooded to get can't put an end zone next double political. But the one of the big differences in the way that car and has performed the way that team has jelled as a shepherd has completely changed his driving style around with a comment from him at a moment right now Billy Elliot is running down here again for third spot. He's an underneath there again. Trades and Elliott has taken over that spot away from Danny's about to start chasing down Morgan Shepherd last lost its. Now honor. Here's a comment from jeopardy round and and last year I just really sent down I don't know what myself. You know racism and problems that makes my okay. Nonunion faces a few months. You base yourself all alone and so I was kind of big myself. And I said listen here does Charlotte Milan. No one knew there were. Impossible to make every level down a mile run. The first lap the last. I'm just alive and and that's what I'm starting to run and that's what I want to until I Delmon to slow the car down. Okay my guess it's all sit back relax. Don't think Jake's gonna tell that anytime soon no I don't think so he's he's completely change is thinking about this whole business. The only thing sold back in February and he felt like he needed changes complete image no way to know race car but everything that he is really trying to make it. It in the sport having a good run here this afternoon as he's about that do you like comics behind Dale Earnhardt. Right behind him again right Villa he's not a second back now. It's about another half a second back here again the fourth place car and put their back the field is really strong out as Richard Henne running along and fifth position. His car still running very high again even though they've only been back out there under green about fifteen or twenty laps Eli go we're seeing cars right up against the wall again. What the situation seems to me that so. Tires are pushing some power. You itinerant college however the original run high one lap. Next time I know that none of the games. Atlanta right now when he does that he has lost the chance to gain some ground on him because last time by your spot. Richard was down home launcher was up high this time librarian or they both went off line Walter was still getting Karen and Richard there was no way out of the night you'll. That's an. Well he's very open walker was in sixth place car and moving up on the miss Terri the Bonnie he has now posted in seventh and run down a minute ago that showed Jody Ridley is the eighth place car ahead of him on the lead left. He's been running very strong all week long practice of having a good run here this afternoon there is a possibility that Jodi may be back around and for the season is over and possibly the full time ride talk pedestrians. Said he doesn't think cooking. And it looked awfully good in the coming weeks 118 laps around the court here in Atlanta Motor craft 500. As Dale Earnhardt is pretty much been the dominant car in the early going here this afternoon still a lot of racing left. Harry Gant suddenly sticking right at the bottom of the racetrack. Travis Carter say they made a few adjustments on the car and again it's so close to winning the seasonal flu without their rock. Physical drivers there is as far as being in shape that he can take I think Travis then sent. And taken ill handling car was much witted as many drivers ever seen things. You'll Yarborough but he says he's as good or better in the field and making things happen in the car that's not quite right. He's one of the last of the old time drivers that can do that as Walter pulls alongside Richard Petty in the backstretch and he will hold. Hold off the charge that he will move up on the leaderboard now in the fifth position with a Walter. Dropping to the six spot Bernhard had lost about twelve seconds to the field when his car ran out of gas picked him first pit stop under green what kind of back to the front. When the caution drop his team went to work economy in and out of the news. Have a right back toward the front of the field so he could challenge Hillary can't. But the race leader dessert cart told us yesterday. His crew is still really pumped up after winning that world championship pit crew cut this Rockingham two weeks ago for the second year in Rome. Oh yeah you know you got your card. And that's why Colorado and now I have my work hard and it's. Mineral we'll learn more zone in the car window and and I remember in God's name happened. And you know I am it's. At home. It's engineers in a row now and your own problem. And I know win again. Earnhardt's race leader of 120 laps to take you back through the field Morgan Shepherd his second Bill Elliott third Harry Gant is fourth. Richard Petty is better in six the Walter seventy bodies and eight this Jody Ridley a night Tim Richman. Those cars are on the lead lap one lap down at Tampa's Benny Parsons eleven. Just pull behind twelfth the Sterling Marlin thirteenth a lap down a skill Yarborough fourteen despondent. I'm back in the fifties by Rusty Wallace sixty Tommy Ellis seventeen style that he eighteen is breaks Saxon nineteenth Bobby Allison. Wanna you is can trader Tony first is Dave Marcus and 22 run these hard. Two laps down Buddy Baker and Phil Parsons Trevor boys alum called Wiki and Rick Wilson and AJ Foyt. Dale Earnhardt takes a lot turnover board a complete 126. Of the 328 laps it'll make up the motor craft 500 this afternoon and Atlanta international raceway. He just about eight tenths of a second over and over Morgan jumped. For Ricky Rudd is still with Roger let's check in with your punch. Barney the photographed earlier earning their tricky this afternoon is but boy is proven welding in the rear of the car they are just about completed with the work. They are gonna remove the Jack says we're gonna get a couple of rookie that they have put the net backup and elegant and dropped the motor craft poured down off the deck and up to getting back out the had a well. A broken away its bowl that's the way both the left rear of the car that maintains. The series jobless. The latest vision of the car you hear the car firing it back down Ryan will be headed back on the street life. I wanna pile up as many Winston cup points as they can because they also have a goal in mind this year that would be for the national championship with a cup championship. Perry gets in heavy traffic down. One area. Harry can't. Free fall so it's been kilometers. Coming just coming into turn three now and look beyond the Benny Parsons I'm seeing Morgan Shepherd Morgan Shepherd don't have Dale Earnhardt your leader insightful. Her heart can set its own place here this afternoon pretty much wherever you want to put the car that's exactly what he can do if he runs upon traffic and needs taken up Freeport lanes in the corners he can do it. If there's nobody there he just picks it right down the white line which is almost on the web part of the racetrack and goes through attorneys back in terms of. One reason when behind the I have my. Available Hillary yeah. Please find cars spinning around on us out of Tim Richmond who are going to carry nine as we heard sitting in front of the morning scoring. And the lead lap and that's the case and I think the accident he would put it down one. Richard Petty having a good run here this afternoon yes. Who would Darrell Waltrip now Richard's car gets way high over in turns three and pour the water dives underneath him and that should be for about fifty. Incidentally worked back in the front straightaway there racing door to door as they say that way heading for turn one. Come all the way the most time. Wanted to make use not a perfect in water. Falling behind Richard as they come way off line alone back to. Here all day long trip follows through. Just nine cars on the lead lap that's a good battle there for the fifth spot Bernhardt the race leader. Morgan Shepherd a second Elliott is third. Fourth belongs to Harry get a fifth to swap hands. Richard Petty thing fifth Walter is six Terry the body of seven. Great run for Jody Ridley he has eight and on the tail end of that lead lap struggling to catch back up would be the temperature and automobile. Police. Problematic turn one Kyle Petty has. Break loose she accidentally outside retaining wall Buddy Baker a bullet took a beautiful but it drivers so dutifully other management and development now of the oh boy I hope made some great timing has piled up to rest now on the apron of the racetrack. They'll put us under caution for the second time this afternoon and again we'll see everyone on pit road as Kyle Petty. Scattered at the viking we see the car moving now let's collect Eli gold. Came off turn number. Why haven't been kept me area back flat out victory in the just hasn't helped them spot the crime scene to break loose. The banking the wall sat there precariously while others bashed in and out Kyle comes my smoke from behind the carpeting having around the pit road. That Costa be a big break for Tim Richmond because Richmond comes all the way around the racetrack memory was running just a couple of seconds ahead of Earnhardt. And comes around he'll be back on the lead. Lap and here comes just about the whole field on the pit road making this will be a routine itself for them as we always see them come down under caution let's first go to net product. I think everybody effect on 4 tires once again morning all and they didn't get down on emotion on this stuff you're looking different right in front of no one around on the. Go to Jerry punch. Here again thank you know golf course darn well right side Todd started almost all that is Chevrolet scandal hit left side tires meanwhile I'd probably is now many in the blood runs out trying to. Moves up with a few Madeleine. The sent eleven Florida's. Pretty heavily damaged in the left rare almost the center of the rear of the car pushed down some exaggerated if not hostility started crying sheet metal away Leonard wood has a big Brian Barton. Up against the left rear tire they didn't get them treatment includes a way to change attire looks like pretty heavy damage them 7-Eleven Ford for Kyle no problem delivery. That's how often he's taking longer than the others that well. Championship crew Dale Earnhardt and my own version now Morgan Shepherd here. Today is yet another race in media Ingersoll Rand national pit crew season long title of the car that spends the least amount of time. On pit road from the hash marks or even rent during the running interest rates will receive a cash sort of Ingersoll Rand. Air attack tools and also points toward the season long championship. Based Archos past we have 132. Laps completed were under the caution this will be actually the second caution of the day third incident the second caution flag. Atlanta international raceway one more lap or we racing here at Atlanta Dick Campbell join us he's the Kentucky fried chicken. District directory does have a little fun at the omni the other night though with with Darrell Waltrip and yeah. Sure. We had a great basketball game and you know barrels one pick for best television estate executives you know when he was the blue grass W basketball fan. Sales especially fan of Larry Bird but you know he's really into Israel and a Budweiser thank you for a chicken overload Monte Carlo. Off Darryl as a good day today is birdie on the basketball court Friday night you folks are probably every had a director line it was quite a game that she was. He talks about an anorexic to big wave backing not one but the two Junior Johnson cars of of Neil bonnet and Darrell Waltrip looks like it's been a good promotion for you folks. Fisher hasn't you know we're going to be real aggressive and then and Mora promotions with the NASCAR group. Surely we're gonna announce a big promotion with the other Winston race on May the eleventh and one of which a lot of the fans are going to be involved Friday night as as you're probably aware. And Darryl gave away one of the many cars at that Theresa one of them will be the winner was from Macon Georgia. Swim a lot of fun down there without him but do we're going to be more aggressive business and getting the fans involved should with westerners. Article enjoy the razor Atlanta. Full tank of fuel and four tires for Goodyear wished tired old machines are set to go racing again here at lap 135 is what they'll cut him loose under green after this caution here and everybody has been in the pits a couple of times at least most of the cars work her heart is a leader gets right behind him a second this waltrip and Bill Elliott and Terry the body and Richard Petty of that will be the top five. As the place targets and behind pit wall they come three wide off turn over four back there for fifth position. Now they inside the racetrack at bottom card can be Sterling Marlin and he's going to be pin right to the bottom of the racetrack. Sterling is down low Benny Parsons gets shuffled out of the equation on the front guys breaking news though. Hit certain hi I have a. These cars I get a call a lot to be started and fifteenth now is up to third right behind Kerry can't look sitting inside hoping they can vote. Out of turn a before Earnhardt has a healthy lead on the field call a twelve car length scanners right. In second spot waltrip third Elliott right up against Walter rear bumper. Can we Terry the body trying to break out of the pack and run up for the leaders want Jerry Johns alongside the Sterling Marlin kayak he's still some eight con lanes are still behind many passions and for a second. Parsons won a lap backe didn't get it here's Walter are working to the inside a very can't return straight laughter. You're coming off form. That nobody thing had to come out of throttle in fact he's gonna lose a couple of colleagues is Ron Bouchard will make an unscheduled pit stop is just as they go back to green here earnhardt's a leader. He's continuing to pull away from Harry Gant the scrambles goalie from second on back and Bobby like old. Can't stays right where he ends when waltrip and Elliott behind him Morgan Shepherd and Richard Petty. Patty I can't think about. Betty ceased to be going backwards but right now our heart is just going forward he's got about eight darling son Danny now want to go. Side last time around Walter had come out of trouble in the corner he does again as the car drifted high and he's got a handful of Bill Elliott they'll race door to door crossed a line that will be for third position there's still that way as they work to turn one. Side by side with Elliott holding the inside groove Darrell goes hi it's bill can. Make that jump off the low side of the racetrack this time but it won't just. Bill not closes down on Harry get a ticket and it turned straight got underneath watch he's handling very well down I'll join. Tire smoke almost breaks the Warwick hills and nail. Gap has got a mirror full of Bill Elliott as they come off the corner both those cars working really well right at the bottom of the racetrack. Walter can't get past Benny Parsons Parsons is a lap down battle for second at turn one it's waltrip again or at least delegate we should say trying to take a running start all over Harry can't on the low side of the track. There's an opening. That drag race down that short backstretch and here's Elliott just nosing ahead and it turns right back Alley. Place right now a lot of people they tell thought Bill Elliott might come out of the 86 season sandbag a little bit I don't think that's been the case he every time anybody talks to improve media or anybody for that matter he says he has been running his tail off this year just the whole we have on the racetrack. Today he's trying to chase down leader Dale Earnhardt and he's beginning to do it a little bit and turned to his. Still new. Earn our running down the short backstretch again looks comes up why I dropped it right down the for the track going. I doubt that bottom row. Where everybody else seemed secure now meanwhile waltrip is going straight backwards through the field Sterling Marlin got underneath him and Walter was back reduced to battling with Jeff quote on quote I'm as a lap down. Look Bonnie and Morgan Shepherd are both caught in the second wave of that back and they can't gain any ground. The track again bathed in bright sunshine as Morgan Shepherd takes. The spot battle earlier he has. Earnhardt still pulling away from your leader. Right now want to still have to go way up there. The racetrack right against the law to make it any time off and on return. Betty Parsons has been up in the front pack all day long at one time he was on the lead lap he is now being posted a lap down but he is drafting ride along and they're trying to get himself back on the lead lap but he talked yesterday just about how furiously racing had been all year long. We are by now they put together enjoy it because as you said there's tremendous pressure to win. Many other. Again I want them really blood must sponsored Copenhagen because. Of all of they love everybody's been involved where there is no pressure to win most people. They don't say they go out in and win win win they say you know destroyed and rivers and as an you know reasonable fashion. And what they want you just can't believe what that does to me and our team not to have that kind of pressure on himself. When you have that pressure has other teams do I know I've been there I've seen that. It becomes almost in Maryland and you start you have taken a chance that. You're trying to press wants us another call when you really truly should've backed all the way to the next corner but you went ahead. British sooners are reckon when that happens three or four innocent they would get involved any action. Can't see any harder racing that we want here this afternoon and I'm sitting here thinking a moment ago there are three of the best cars in this field linked up for the good tight draft and they couldn't do any thing with a through hard at all. Then at Richmond then of course Rockingham and feel. Well we'll limit. Morgan Shepherd battle sterile water side by side bets for the fourth place let's go to the garage. Ron we chart display and again family potty can run up it's been a rough day for you all day long what puts you up fire. Now I really was it's Ventrilo thirtieth only glancing punches and slipped them. And now we had a flat tire there at the end and I went back out in the end you just Diana Erica and get it up just made no clutch would never catch up and it finally blew the clutch right out of it. Rob Broussard talked to family taught him about mentioning how many still in the 7-Eleven Ford behind the wall pit road littered blood is using its hard to try to cut some sheet metal plate in the left rear of the car. Powell says he cut a tire going into turn one was called in the spin and hit the wall they're trying to get that Carter was seven back on the street right. Ricky Rudd had some problems a moment also spent a lot of time in the garage dvds prankster. He is all right but his cars out Joseph run when retired for the they brought the charges will only go part of Carter's spent a great deal of time to rock that he is now back on the speedway. 148 laps complete with Bernhardt leading Phil Elliott Harry Gant Morgan Shepherd. And Darrell Waltrip from Atlanta international raceway this is MR I on the motor racing network. Whatever you drive wherever you go Hercules tires we'll get there whether he'll run on third. Are dependable high quality tires of a perfect fit for your knee. Strong match value selection in warranty would industry leading road hazard protection there's only one choice.

Laps are complete at this juncture with 328. Making up the distance this afternoon when her heart is still the leader. Guess have been challenged that's strong all afternoon although Bill Elliott has him in sight right now less than a second behind it. Harry Gant rides third the fourth position car is still Morgan Shepherd as they work back to turn over one. Riding along a fifth position is Darrell Waltrip. To go might mention that morning. Inside right. And Morgan Shepherd a 112 seconds ahead of general law. Sheppard has run very nicely here so far right now it's raping a long way. Carson Sterling Marlin Rusty Wallace both know. I'm Shepard is now taking a very fine line off turn. Or plus two weeks in Rhode Morgan Shepherd scars run extremely well Rockingham and here in Atlanta he's just getting around this racetrack. Race recently grandstand but it turns looked pretty much the same but not for his race car. We find out are good good distance you want them out. And then just temporary home. Another cargo handlers are then burned more but we're gonna wanna do not cross and you know you can. You want him. That's reflected by the lower lines take down a woman souvenirs at the other restaurant. He's had an awfully good run here this afternoon that Jake elders who calls the shots on the car as one of the best Jesse in the business field a springing up pretty well all the way around the Atlanta raceway right now on the motor ran 500 and Dale Earnhardt still setting the pace nobody. Putting an healed up for the moment bill Elliott's dropped back just about a second behind it and give us a chance to talk to Roger where the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company who has a whole pack. McEnroe expect appear I think he's been planning this for years it. Got a half hour speech burning just for just ready for you if you can do it in sixty seconds your. No you folks have really been overwhelmed by the response you got not only. Bringing the Winston here's the race plays eleventh at Atlanta raceway but the companion race two at the Atlanta imitate. Responses I think it's even surprise you folks as an. Tied. And I know what have Barney and today I understand we've had over 50000. Injuries from race fans who want to vote for the fourteen drivers. It that will race in that that outstanding event at 300000 dollar raise not a bad grace as a matter fact. Let's take a personal question about that and about every driver we've talked to hear that has a shot to get an invitational on the gentlemen are going to be in the Winston are using this kind of as a test session that day even though they wanna win this race of course. Wanna learn as much as they can't because they're going to be coming back here for. For those to raise money body mass and I took special attention in the first hundred miles of this race and then if the first hundred miles of this race. Are any indication now recognize that the checkered flag would have fallen about a hundred miles into the race and you see some savage competition at the end. We're gonna have a pair of outstanding outstanding events here on May eleventh with a plan invitational. And the Winston both on that day could you update us a little bit elusive. In the running imminent official right now. What Kyle Petty continues to lead Richard Petty a second and many Carson's third Buddy Baker fourth late speed Tim Richmond Bobby Allison run. Chart Dave Marcus Rusty Wallace Joseph Redmond JD but nothing David Pearson and Morgan Shepherd. But the fourteen drivers if the event if that voting ended today instead of on march 28. Who would be in the event very very close our buddy Arrington Bobby Dylan Phil Parsons that Tommy Ellis can trader and it. Virtually the rest of the field are very very close it is extremely important. Or race fans of these particular drivers to get a ballot or and one of the racing papers mark their ballot up that thing is spreading in the racing papers and sanded and before march 28 so those votes can be counted because. We'll be announcing that field at Darlington on Friday before the race a darling of the friends of 500. We'll we'll still have playing time to get their votes ahead. The big payoff the mid season payoff something the folks at RJ Reynolds went back to this year a lot of money up for grabs there. Part of the race today is roughly 500000 dollar race there will be 500000. Dollars a locked up say in July. Did the midseason pay off with a 150000. The first 100000 the second 101000 dollars to tenth place in Iraq. I notice there's twelve points difference between Darrell Waltrip. Return the money for first that's a 50000 dollar difference. Should Vivian and today and the 101000 dollars is that there's a virtual tie up between Neil bonnet and Bobby Miller. So it's important for these drivers to stay in that top ten through the July race that's the reason we're seeing guys go schooling even thirty or forty laps in the pit saloon in the garage or repair the car and put it back out. Are troubling one in Juarez and along right. Come on Tucker New York rip rides around the wall near turn one in June he'll take it back down. Think wall itself with a stuffed up right side he will continue around towards him. Everybody's way. We'll stay under green as he keeps the car out of any problem all over there so apparel can look them over so they'll definitely direct you raise your power. And they have electorally green is great puts the card out of the contract would you be on pit road here at the moment. Let's go to Jerry crimes. Rick Wilson just pulled the captain Tony's old Louisville in the garage area and talked to Rick what puts you around Alex Robinson and I regret. A quarter revenue drops them. The clones running awfully well you had a good run in Daytona you had a good run earlier today. Now we had a little bit of from the Bay Area which meant that little bit off staggered changes. Garlic lose then went to a civilian I would just fine thank you you know against zone Barack Hussein Obama got and we as well plus Rick and only when I was fourteen years we had a hard time keeping up all day and we'll come back really is that are probably never will be returning. Rick Wilson the fourth car here in the garage area. Net charities data for Greg Sachs bear its. Mind nor the left right and bland they're working on the right side. Running into the wall and got something peddling you over the air when I flew. All. They're thinking. Medal away from. It's not here. Usually when you see a cardinal in the corner and go into the wall as quickly as great if not times until they cut a tire down that we'll just send them right where it belongs Darrell walker says if you lose that right front tire that's your steering tiring can't do a thing with a race car. It just gonna get away from me. He's garnered little now Barney homered to left front car is almost equally as important. Live and let me. Back when I was running a race car sometimes you almost here. Hard working winning. Kyle Petty comes back onto the racetrack after repairs behind the pit wall before they the subject the wisdom moments in the MR and will broadcast that race from a latter coming up. In May and you can still get a ballot by sending them. A letter to Winston invitational 906 oak wood Rochester Michigan battle for the lead out a turnover for Elliott has caught Earnhardt in race traffic. I think it added return number one looks like he'll stay single file and go around those lap automobiles. At the Atlanta international raceway running the motor craft 500 just past the halfway Mark Few laps to go. Relapse ago as a matter of fact we're 167 right now it's still all Dale Earnhardt has this afternoon that Wrangler jeans she. Bill Elliott has been up there to take a nip battled through pocket time you couldn't do anything within minutes now fallen back about ten or twelve car lengths as he rides along in the number two spot. Harry Gant has his hands full with Morgan Shepherd as they come off the fourth quarter and Shepperd we'll take a third spot away from him as they race back into turn one. I have been a side by side battle for the last three or four laps now Morgan Shepherd. For the search. Tiring and really. Coming up follies like Johnson automobile. But Morgan Shepherd that can't just little. Running out of ways to go to catch up Earnhardt and Eliot Bernhard I noticed coming through turn street course it's. It's great finally gets a little loose about halfway three through three Clark present some problems. Greg Sachs are still being repaired on pit road cars and spent a lot of time their Kyle Petty is now down 32 laps and win. Your prayers and Ricky Rudd is now 25 laps behind the race leaders in his bed Jerry punch. Blood nor of the defense Carla. I know buffalo medical problem. How wings. Am very bad. Reliever Kevin I don't know why I look brand new. I didn't read the next room around out there are they okay what would you right now. I can't wait got it back with that both live and. Well then let's get. Wait a minute ago what brought up my. I think good luck here today. Another car it's been a lot of time on pit road is Greg sacks and sacks made a rather prophetic comment yesterday when asked him. They got a Chevrolet here the start of the season with a body actually had a different winning a race car each week. I was fast memory militiamen are the facts can't you relatively at present their factories. I know it was can't. I hope we want to you might read news they're having a lot of problems in that team right now the leader Dale Earnhardt just weeks across the start finish line hit back to turn over one. And for the moment he'd like only the Bill Elliott can't get Timorese content just keeping an insight. I guess only Bill Elliott knows exactly answer the point shepherd for the moment means hiring again my a couple of carnage they'll work for the inside of the kind of prime time. The outside of a turn comfort zone also running my lonesome but nobody can. Walked to the the ticking along fine line through the turns against right out of the top drove nine point in the top group analyses runs down that white line. Doing great now online along and turned toward back into the field. Perry gets try to retake their third spot is running the bottom of the racetrack at Morgan Shepherd is gone back up the run high side again Eli may be catching up little by little. I'm doing that and South Carolina maybe a fault violate those behind them. Think Wallace I should say gets together with slick. They've called Catherine back in I don't want to kind of the moment your point comeback king most do but meanwhile shepherd and can't work. Over nutrient poor right now. Come on my side tonight to Carly OK yeah. Richard Petty had a pretty good run here this afternoon and it's it's almost a brandy Richard Petty for the enthusiasm he has displayed beginning 1986 season he had a pretty good run going at things. That wreck down there in the wall going off. And then of course in Richmond he got I think the bank ground. So everybody up there for that matter but he still ran pretty well. Live quite a bit of the race up at Rockingham North Carolina a couple of weeks ago and was all smiles when he came in here this week he could not to place ahead. This season and good anytime for that matter but it's been all smiles this season lasting yesterday are you as happy as he appears a car that good. My thing you know got a good Louisville game back we're gonna give you Rhode donated. How much an important factor workforce and made it did years ago won a lot of races. I'm never say no you won't win it about ten dollars. Really Bob Dylan man. But right domain noses at the beta on win races but I know the cars cable Leunen down. And NN makes me feel better and his legs and you know legal battle renal or go to another. Had to laugh a little bit. We'll preview program yesterday and he was talking about record a lot of times the communication between the two that was still there felt like he'd never delay and whatever. And he says a lot of time with call answer our sleeves and dale city Mattel and on the radio when it. The left town hall it's still loose and you'll see he has slandered as authorities they would you've got a good. The Clinton. Wanted to. Elliott down here on pit road bill running second run. They are crying you know yeah. We noticed a moment ago that bill pulled up on the bomber on the. You are hard to slow Campbell in our hardball. Well over here you can. And lose them. Greg Sachs is back on the racetrack after spending many laps there and you heard Larry say that Earnhardt had slowed down and slow the basin and a lot of so we'll ask us how these race cars that qualified 170 miles an hour and then go out during the race the home run about a 16364. Wheel Dale Earnhardt explains. Well good track here. Conditions for you know the track get a little brief appearance later now. Here race in which our you know that's a darn good morning no matter what we've heard laps on tires slow down some. And you noticed rather the day. You know consistent laps then you use there probably. Nobody is a national. Tour and you can't run on the qualifying pace all day long is no way hard. Burn marks the race leader by 12 over Bill Elliott and Morgan Shepherd. No change in the running order among the front five or six cars still her heart out front of 182 laps 328 make up the event this afternoon the motor craft 500. Bill Elliott continues to hold on the second position not much change in the inner layers are buried anywhere from five or six darlings the last thirty laps around. Morgan Shepherd still rides third quarter. It's Harry Gant and fifth is Darrell Waltrip as they work their way around your pretty well strung out around the racetrack lets go live here we're in the Piedmont airlines pit stop. Two weeks ago. Rockingham was he went on to win the good breaks. Literally. Now I had had an attack against Carlos and now when now it is not an avalanche can't survive an exact time is up to my son would actually run the irony. Another long green flag and went OK okay probably no brainer as well I about how mailing him a little rain and as I'm now. Okay certainly. Well on those home sales. Most of the drivers say that here that you can live a little bit loose car and maybe do something with a key for the lead lap but if you get a card really pushing. Downfall for. Are you. Got down quick hits me in the back and I was kind of. They'll her heart that pile up an awful lot of money here in Atlanta today there's 55000. Dollars bailout money available here this afternoon and that means if Bernhard should go on and win the race. Collect collect money at the rate he's been out right now he's really an uphill over a 100000 dollar payday. They Kodak film company is paying the Kodak film lovely. That left 198 to 31 to 64 to 97328. Affected at ten laps starting left 33. Spaced out through the field that pays 4000 dollars if you leave those last. So far he's led for most of them in that category and will be coming up on lap 198 here in about us. Sold twelve more circuits around racetracks and you pick up another 4000 dollars and you really piling up some left money. Today is motor craft 500 has been a bit of a letdown for jets fellow if you pardon that honestly effective driver rookie contender takes his starting garage area.

Kale Yarborough and several others Dale Earnhardt. I know. For the first time. He's got a sports cars as well as the most everybody thank you know four times. They wanna see some of the best network at Atlanta this afternoon honestly long time especially given earnhardt's crew the Richard Childress ranked team. A lot of credit has almost every time they've been able to get him in and out ahead of everybody Elliott has done an outstanding job today and Travis Carter in this gold team. It really doesn't pass that worked to get him back out there almost every time they hit in also. Unscheduled pit stop for Harry Gant here's jury putts.

Well that's it possibly a broken left per axle and it could be along afternoon for area. Immigrants so well here this afternoon was the third place car as they came in for pit stops under the caution. This Tuesday every Tuesday night you could ask your questions of the folks that make the news and auto racing by calling all free to NASCAR alive auto racing's or stock car racing's nationwide talk show. Happens every Tuesday night at 7 eastern time with the like gold here on the MR ban. The way they're running at 190 laps under the caution Earnhardt the leader fast network once again gets him out with the lead Bill Elliott second Morgan Shepherd is third. Fourth is Darrell Waltrip fifth Terry the bodies six is Richard Petty seven this Tim Richman and the last car on the lead lap eight is Harry again. Still working caution here this afternoon looks like it's going to be a lap or so before we go black degree. And it'll give us a chance maybe to chat with Buddy Baker in the Crisco Oldsmobile this afternoon has our in car radio. But he has been kind of a frustrating day for you out there. No we talked a lot of the drivers this week and we've told our listening audience this afternoon just how critical good handling car is here I guess you can attest to that if the cars a little bit off he really got some problems. From what you've been watching out there Earnhardt in the cars up front they're that strong particularly remark. A. That's that is her heart is as strong as he appears he's just about led all this thing this afternoon on William and run up there running around in that close with. You've been close to a few times afternoon is that car as strong as it appears to be. Okay they're giving you signals one more to go next time around you guys who go back to full bore. Have a good afternoon. They have been working under the hood of lake speed nationwide auto parts Pontiac now borrow all of the length of this caution period for a few good report for May edit if they're able to complete that service to get him back out and Jerry budget still mayor Harry gets bits for the try to change a rear axle. They do at the left for Axel out Mike Allen on this Bill Bennett Chevrolet they're putting the other axle back in the Axl looks like someone took it in minutes and sign a strength tests of some sort that you are getting the left we'll put back together here again should be up. Going back in about a lap or two is already sent here to left the pits under caution let's go to net. They do have a good up on the nation must funny acolytes prayed that he lost a cylinder early in the race Mike joined the pillars in the final frame so they've taken a valve cover all. Trying to think they can find out what the problem we have. But the attrition rate up until about fifteen or twenty laps ago had not been that high here to Atlanta this afternoon now all of a sudden we're seeing a lot of cars have some problems pace cars picking up speed over in turn over three UB diving on the pit road. We're set to go back to green as they come down this time. The leader is Earnhardt right behind him is Elliott Elliott challenged him a couple of times this afternoon he's been up there but has not been able to do anything within no one has for that matter Harold Pinter waves the green flag and they go back to full speed. In the motor craft 500 as they raced back. One they can't Earnhardt comes up through that gearbox and pulls away about four colleagues even before they get to the corner. I've been part of his deal all day long getting a superstar to Benny Parsons though on the low side of the racetrack. If they put us. Earnhardt right behind Benny Parsons now Phil Parsons trying to get a lap back if you enjoy. Here later served hard went Elliott and Morgan Shepherd and Gary GAAP two laps down leaves as just seven cars on the lead lap they wind up turn of reform and Earnhardt chasing down Benny Parsons who step ahead of the parade. Bill Elliott right with Earnhardt Morgan Shepherd right there as well these two and a half car lengths behind the Bill Elliott machine. Bill going to get bit higher than the corner this time I'm. Earnhardt's been able to come off too low and strong every time body does it again but Earnhardt has Eliot really man. The straightaway this. I'm on inside the front three got it all hooked up with four brand new tires all the way around her heart rips a little bit low Elliot takes a look on the outside gets a run adamant. Crashed out of the inside of her heart and turn one they still have to believe. You know we have no there aren't going to get higher in the car than maybe he would have liked this time again Earnhardt trend and maybe just a quarter of a groovy. Turner comes in those terms why not alien goes out to the inside that Earnhardt dropped down. Fedora and vale might fall. Little that was found on the track here meanwhile midfield to emirates and it is really slicing his way up through traffic he wants to get up mix it up for the lead. Front to separated by just about the with the bumpers they run out of turn one Elliott looks inside Elliott again takes that people that are current quickly says no room on the low side. Benny Parsons has not been able to put away. Any stronger or parent comes in those terms with a high approach it and drops down low turnouts try to slide underneath. An hour strike down the line line of the. Elliott strong suit has been in the corner he's been awfully strong coming off the term ability at the straightaway doesn't seem to be able to do anything with the Earnhardt at all again they just talk cinema. Has it right back. Not the same time Terry Aponte is finally worked his way free of race traffic. He's drawn to within a couple of correlates of Darrell Waltrip. It's all quiet morning guys coming. Kelly is trying to close in time is right on the back bumper now but after having tests. Any other close. Now Eliot dress the way up in the banking. 200 laps complete 320 it'll make up. The motor craft 500 here this afternoon and Earnhardt the leader Elliott second Morgan Shepherd is third fourth is Darrell Waltrip and fifth is Terry the Bonnie. One of the best running cars in the field here to Atlanta is Benny Parsons that Copenhagen machine the Oldsmobile is out there in this afternoon but unfortunately he is a lap while the place. Really isn't it he's gone back on the tailored to the lead lap he's writing directly. Dale Earnhardt now he can get a caution flag and get back up there he could mix it up pretty good he's having a pretty good mix up. Twosome anyway. Aren't you as the very first time all day especially in the center of the speedway and wanna assume that many if not for. Particularly highlighted in red riding went to the afternoon now all of a sudden he's in the room with the leaders. It was fast dale earnhardt's run all day he has not been able to laugh Benny Parsons daily has just been sitting there waiting for Bernhard to commit one way or other. And give him a place to go up or down on the racetrack and battle her heart for the lead but Parsons is holding Arizona that's up once placed back in 1984 and ask you the other thing. You hear they had practice times is the car strong enough to do it again. The one we have been on the racetrack but just a few laps and so hard it feels good it was certainly an hour speed was not your thing. And smashes up the rest of them are. You always have to wait and see if maybe there will be extended practice session sometime on Saturday and we can do it may we can find out how good our car. His cars awfully good right now AJ Foyt drops off the banking up internal report here he comes on the pit road. He's his car's not working up to par four in the center let's go to it here. Here right now we're not really. The car looks awfully good there right now had to make some. Hello readily as my. An event was to make admit it their all time ago now that we're just trying to Ohio right. When her husband. Intelligent life. We got a little troubling turn corn yield monitor just rode up the banking and tagged the wall is coming down off the banking and Florida heading. Wrote a break for bottom who've been running around one lap down the field this group awaits his presence on that road let's go to the garage. Makes me really isn't so startup market here at the Houston Texas driver's standing with the HBO what we'll put you out of here today. Hasn't done a stair and round about now.

We'll find me riding ahead of them on the leaderboard offers new skills side by side Richmond I'm. It's a good coming on fairly strong he's still working inside shots and grabbing no doubt but I think you'll might wanna watch star what is called the inside of turn during. There comes a stage door to door as they worked through the blacking up and three and four and come back into the straightaway and neither wanted to crack at throttle as caution comes out of the speedway. They cross the line and caution is out looking to find the reason we don't see any cars and trouble around the racetrack.

The track hospital here for tech. What really makes a crash really herta driver is is when you lose it or something happens at the bottom of the racetrack you go up. Us all the way up that banking and get into the wall and you have such a long ways to go without killing off any speed or whatever. Despite the long most of the drivers that's why Richard Petty says he runs close to the wall everywhere he goes because if anything happens he says you don't have far to go. To hit the wall and he feels like it's a lot bigger safety factor for. And I'll tell you when you hit the wolves had a sideways glance the way that they Obama did it here do that makes the wave of a difference because. The the cars are built of course or hit only X or are rare and listen and that kind of thing although they're very strong without Withrow bars out in the south that.

Talk about real money is so strange because this has been one of his best racetrack he's been down and out almost ended his career here to Atlanta some years ago we didn't have a rider would runs picking up factory. He won one of the iiroc races here and he talked yesterday about that coming back to Atlanta and hope to get things. Turnaround hopefully work again well you know we got to go muscles are we better. Debated race car mostly along and and better positioned to run up front but. We just haven't you know been able to win a race and I don't know what clearly in the sleek and slim lead warning yet this year but just like every team here that first win and one Unita. I certainly only Orlando as much as possible so you can do right here.

Here comes Bobby Allison on the bottom of the racetrack he was trying to get underneath Tommy Ellis so too was kale Yarborough in allowed shepherd this right away. And our heart breaks free of race traffic out at turn one. He's not going to be joining him as Darrell Waltrip thinks that high line around traffic so yeah there's different. Mary LaMont beat tightens up the. Earnhardt dip a lot turn to a chases down shepherd he's about four car lengths behind a long trip goes. Nothing else maybe show and tell time here in Atlanta this afternoon as Morgan Shepherd is up in front and let's see what they can do with the emperor march in the class of the feel all afternoon but right now he can't do anything we Shepperd back and turn them Wally chop it down a couple of colleagues however. Morgan's efforts not a good week all week trying to practice when there was in and around the rain. Earnhardt's ride on the back up real try to make a move to the inside here in turn three but separate tanks and. It's the third one by daybreak in my Darrell Waltrip. Tommy Ellis now gone one lap down is on the tail on the lead lap but they have overlap tail off turn over four shepherd and Bernhardt a car like department temperance. Then vote on until lap down so that was Walter with a fourth place car and right with them apart Eliot Rabbani and those cars with a body taking a lower through a close look. Join us again.

But aren't gonna have his hands full with camera when he's caught him for the second spot and he's going after turn one. Richmond things inside room planner and I just no room mayor right now Richmond can't quite stay on the low side of the racetrack so. Freshman chases our guard down now keep the pressure on her part to keep my design as the rear view mirror right now. A little bit higher insurance inner artist or Richmond as governor of fellow who. Has really caused a stir here in the last couple of seasons with his not only hard charging driving style off the tracks Diallo's well. He's gonna have a couple of cars about a leader Bernhard had a good luck underneath Morgan Shepherd ordering one hour drama on the front straight away one car let's goal I'm going into turn number one Dave Marcus. Sampras makes his way down the backstretch a little bit Earnhardt looking to the inside and try to pick up that spot before they get. Somehow hold this time they're gonna race back to the flag as they come out of turner before Earnhardt takes a look underneath him he might take a shot let him know he's gonna back out of it and settle in and number two spot so shepherd. We'll retain the lead as we go under caution here for the fifth time this afternoon at lap 241. At Carney is a feel cancer. Syria or Sterling Marlin had something like don't support a lot of smoke got underneath that pulls on the scene of his Barnhart. Start Marla coast down the pit road he did not go to the garage area so Hossa Ellington and his crew will be able to take a look at it it's the fifth caution of the afternoon comes out of lap 220. For the day of. Marcus. They market has taken his card of the broad looks the jury much has gone up to it they've still sitting in the car Barney Dade long afternoon here for the Helen Wright Pontiac what puts you out. That looks LA Jerry we blew another engine and I don't really know why. I was about 495 dollar water flows on about 75 pound off pressure everything was looking really great we had a tall gear in a car and we were really trying to finish a race that was Ariza were put the tall gear in the car but. We're only talk like suddenly 600 something apparently broad. Well Dave Marcus out of further up pit road Ned Jarrett is in the Sterling Marlin kids. We'll hear they've they've. Brought him down that road here and and been working on our web had a chance to get a word written. Sterling Marlin car we'll go behind a wall a talented young driver from Columbia Tennessee that have a strong run early on for a loss Ellington. We'll go beyond the pit wall lahood is up on Richard Petty says DP Pontiac and in a report to us from there in a moment. Taylor Hartley is the true value hard charger standings in this race Morgan Shepherd Bill Elliott Perry camp and Tim Richman a top point getters in that system that rewards the top five drivers on each lap. Had a chance is that what Hal Needham here this morning Needham came with. I shoulda put on a part of three raced to promote his new movie rat. Good solid all that would change radical. I imagine teenager done and done. The best way to destroy evidence kind of like a Karate Kid all the industry. I'm not DMX myself. And what I did everyone that is kind of driving. Also missing kids okay and mom I would join your tour. Please now. Normal body now. They put on quite a show here in pre race but you know were used to seeing folks a lot of NASCAR racing show up and tells movies from time to time asking Perry get him apart in this one. I hadn't really thought I was up in Canada one I shot and I shot. I don't know everything he's glad to hear. You can not ma'am I'm not try to find something I wanted someone. When I got my man why I had a lot of well. Why didn't. No one robotic. And MM Allen. I want to see Harry get up against Hulk Hogan one of those guys and they need him text and say what the boy can do it because it's not a driver and a garage here that won't say Harry Gant is one of the strongest man in Winston cup racing he can't wrestle or his car we're set to go back to green next time around a quite feel the front runners up in that front pack elected not to make a pit stop Morgan Shepherd did not come and neither did Tim Richman neither did Darrell Waltrip or Harry Gant of course get a still left I'm going in the. Richard Petty did coming in as you pointed out that it up on the ftp Pontiac they have the power steering problem with that car aren't they put fluid in the hope that they haven't corrected now. Richard is still nursing that shoulder that there was separated at Daytona so if you. He's got to steer I think the rest of the way here for the next hundred laps with no power steering us going to be tough. Chore filled the car was running up capable of winning this afternoon I think all the plane would go away but it's going to be a long day for him 225. Laps or on the board. 328. Make up the distance here's the place car behind the pit wall Harold Pinter has a green flag in hand. And they're ready to do battle again as they come off the corner Morgan Shepherd is a leader remember he did not make a pit stop either the rich. Which comes up to that gearbox and Hanks what they lifting at turn one there door to door. No different when I was trying to keep the challenge comic go through the speedy dry foot down from the Dave Marcus problem. A fan of the dust storm. Freshman really pressuring shepherd shepherd your leader Richmond second your freshman down lawn right behind us. Like Richmond can't join anyway. There comes logical the end outside and earnhardt's slices his way up through the middle traffic Richard Petty lot of smoke and flame from reading the wheel wells carnival 43. Caution flag will come out again as caddie Kos down toward turner who won it. Keeps the car under control in the rest of the field. Is now pretty much out of the throttle them come down the back straightaway in a race throughout the caution like they're heading to three shepherd still out in front Richmond not trying to chase him down to very much but Jeffords not gonna take a chance on at a C comes down into the turn. They come out of turnover for a will race back to the flag is Shepperd will not come out of the problem whatsoever he's taking no chances as he hangs out of the lead Richard Petty smokes off turnover for apparently we'll I want him. You wrote that could have something do have power. Omar the mammogram here in the Pentagon told prime. A lot of hope and or whatever it is they're gonna try to repair. So he stays on the racetrack takes the caution and we'll go around another lap and nobody is on pit road that we probably will see quite a few of them diving in there is a left or winding down here at Atlanta exactly 100 remaining in this race in the motor craft 500 Morgan Shepherd and Tim Richman riding first and second. More interpreted such a good run here this afternoon he says one of the keys to that is the way he communicates well with this crew chief Jake elder. We talked blogs are just like Iraq and now mom. I don't remember and always lose from the start it's. Justin wouldn't I'm no money to fly around so low wage. And now he's just been around run lemon. And I wouldn't let her. We discussed it may not talk Monroe I haven't fallen however because anybody all librarian knows why Martin and at times in the car. Then you can just ruins I've been hiding and so are. The anybody whoever I know we've seen result so what we talk about all our decisions on job. You know we have if I'm wrong one I'm more than well no wonder why that why you know we've grown one I don't know anyone who. Why don't we discussed Arab side and then. And we are just are marked as we go out and try and we're also still what one set we keep Morgan. Of persons at Rockingham Sunday morning which is slimmer margin. So are those changes are paid off for Morgan Shepherd who right now is the race leader we saw a couple of cars on pit road and Richard Petty is back in let's go to bit. Now Walter. And then Richmond came in little more. They looked under there and apparently they figured out what the problem is that didn't wanna lose the lab so they send it back now but I'm sure they'll be bringing him back in the next summer around. All the front of the pack elected to stay out there again Morgan Shepherd did not come onto pit road and Tim Richman and Darrell Waltrip for the only to the front five that did elect to make that pit stop but we're still working caution. Marty we're in the garage area were Sterling Marlin who sparked the bullseye barbecue. Chevrolet for hostilities stable and sterling a long afternoon for you had a pretty good run early on the what finally got to you. Well early I thought we had about that you know fourth quickest car mayor then. Car and handled and out they went last lap are ailments.

Morgan Shepherd is back under green and he's just collected. 4000 dollars the Kodak film leader award while leading left to 31 as he takes a back to turn to. And he's surrounded by cars trying to lap themselves rusty Wallace's. Kale Yarborough aren't has got to get past yar bro but I'm Allison can't market San. Earnhardt Yarborough almost come together coming off turn number four almost but not quite right. Wallace leads the Mac. When Morgan Shepherd the race leader in the one. Went right behind him.

Six will be Darrell Waltrip Tim Richman is the seventh place car eight that's Richard Petty and Rusty Wallace running just ahead of the lead car is on the tail on the lead lap. He is night. The fans are watching what they came to see in Atlanta this afternoon good battle for the lead is just just all of my way back from third through sixth position. As the leaders head back to one. It's still morning children's show right behind him and I mean right behind him as Dale Earnhardt earnhardt's take the field. Sign off. The swallows leaders are battling up front. Turtle bunny suits by himself and third and ten. And cutting his way through. And while that was going on Benny Parsons was underneath Bill Elliott they were battling side by side for fourth position. Front straightaway Earnhardt has a look under separate those backup and lie in the battle is back Tim Richman moves up underneath Jeff Levine Tim Richmond. Trying to dispose of the number five Levi Garrett Chevrolet Tim actually excited for a I've noticed her. I. Elliott driving come through them and couldn't do it in the turn now is alongside Madonna on the straightaway young guys now while this stayed behind break. Life. Richmond they have one of the quickest cars on the speedway told us yesterday this is his kind of racetrack that I gotta brag you know I'm having him make different area. NN Garrett. You better watch it again a lot of places and the next drive shine the best nearly. When they go vector Craig entered the little bit more. You know big news sometimes they give god and on that in there. And I had to resign and make him mad glad they're not in the on the back nine you may remember out. Police driver on down in there this afternoon he's right behind Terry body right now trying to catch up to the leaders both those cars are. They're riding third and fourth as they worked back down the line and get back into turn over one. Building cars taking pretty much. Conservative line with the exception possibly of Darrell Waltrip. His Budweiser Chevrolet has again begun to quietly putting more degree banks Chinese women riding his way around the Atlanta international raceway. Earnhardt holds a spot behind shepherd turner. They just wanna sit there for awhile I got a ways to go before the finish and probably one Mark Green flag pit. There's software and Florida now Elliott isn't there. Playoff high of six as long. Anderson beards emirates and talk about his own driving style is what many people in the garage characterize the W helpful Goldman throttle wide flat open quarterback in one. They work their way through the corner Rusty Wallace also lying flat open if you will because he is still had to leave out of the. Possibly get back quick relief I'm sure Morgan Shepherd who like to chance to get pioneers of his affect to keep Earnhardt just. Foot knocked a full second off first and second position right now Terry the body and Tim Richman riding in that draft neither one running door to door as they are definitely reeling in Morgan Shepherd and Dale Earnhardt. The separation now. About fifteen car makes is they weren't the banking in the east in the speedway. In the fifth place runners Bill Elliott he's now within a Carling and a half to 2 o'clock. Highlights from both look on CN. My grill. Taking a conservative line between one. Bernhard body looked like passing coming down the straightaway. Looking right now. Download any separate up to par candor and the weather does he almost gets down on the flat on the racetrack. For waltrip this race won't be the motor craft 500 will be the motor craft 550 he's been running running right up on the rim. The whole day long he's probably gonna run 10% more distance from the fellows that are down at the bottom of the racetrack. He's there again this time through turns one and to put those front automobiles. With a great highlights from the front to. That margin continues to narrow their dust all now knows details this morning show Dale Earnhardt turned them. Fought by a ticket to watch this myself as they come out of turn over Florida's going to be for the best in the business and four of the youngest hard chargers in the business right up there going for the lead in just another laugher to effectively happened this time over and turn to. Everybody go home airlines so far if you're gonna midway between one and two of them are on the tail end of the lead lap Rusty Wallace. Waterborne. Bill Elliott Elliott is closing in on the fourth place car Richmond right now he could make got a nice little fling ten. Share another lap or so losses and falling behind layup through. Want to holding his own it's fast he can run Betty Parsons on the bottom is gonna gain on Darryl just by the sheer last number of miles traveled around this racetrack. Richmond is inside the body as they come down the front straightaway and have won best. Fifth third spot won't sign a racetrack Richman says CN he's not the third spot away from a Monty meanwhile the front to. I'm playing a great. He's coming off the opportunity on Christmas been very patient when those attempted passes a couple of times he picked up some spaces and he's done at this time knowledge or. That's why these young drivers are so exciting to watch they'll buy their time permitted to and then when suddenly they get up there have a shot to go for the lead. They're not a bit bashful about stacking and 3-D forty if that's what it takes Bernhard has some thoughts of taking the lead away. Makes better out as he works back to turn one. Sheppard also last. They're trying to get kind of Rusty Wallace McCain last time fine because at Richmond we'll find anything. They might wanna get my wallet and clear sailing but the interesting we're gonna have some lap traffic yet another. You lapsed while they while lakers' about 300 yards ahead of Wallace Lawson. To turn three. Darrell Waltrip once again way up on the high side he got underneath Jeff what I going into turn one a moment ago all. But Walter couldn't keep this car in the bottom of the racetrack again deceleration coming out. I'm turn opportunities slip back a bit Benny Parsons has closed up on him down in turn one. It's just a couple of comments now. I'm Walter goes all the way up the ring any draw. It comes off the turn with the edge of maybe you have probably never been able here's Jim Warren Redmond out trying to get to the inside of Earnhardt coming into play. Didn't work her heart just wasn't good enough room. Now that's what makes this business so exciting early this afternoon it looked like Dale Earnhardt would just gonna dust the feel real good run away with the thing and all of a sudden now there's 56 cars up. Up there and anyone of those six can win. Content like the Thomson. Valium right now and they're both rich McGinn. Long. It's gonna has subtracting out what Terry let Bonnie Richmond still working inside earnhardt's down its. Very rich man. Let's turn book got sideways and it's still a killer tale. And original get the spot coming up out of turn number four he had the low groove denied it Earnhardt. Here comes more money now with Earnhardt can help me behind through the body had been door open clever right through it out of one total hockey. He takes over the third spot. Might Tim Richmond would have made any dirt track driver for. By the way he's been setting up nicely to make inside NASA's going industry and through our round three and one. Closing in on. These kinds of pressure on shepherd here shortly you won't. Seen it better racing there we're watching here this afternoon of the motor craft 500 as the laps wind down to fifty you'll go up on the board this time eighty laps to go in Atlanta Motor craft 500. Lot of the best read it right at the front of the pack as they chase Morgan Shepherd in front of Eli gold. All right. Spill directly ahead coming off reveals. And in fact it doesn't look like anyone really wants to try to move him out of the way maybe separate. Of saving a little bit later. Read that now looks down launch separate top floor it's like about a back to the race based just a bit as the field is tightening up. Give a call that two of the old lines to get the young line call and kale Yarborough Bobby allison's early in the race. They've both been running a lap down but they will have been well up toward the front of the field of kudos either one of them could pull us out. He called AJ Foyt AJ doesn't run and many would come raises chances are the car's not working well he'll have a quicker Roger before the halfway point. Not today he's babble on and ill handling race car will run a race car all day long him and he's hanging tough. He really is he's hanging in there because I thinking he he really he didn't realize is gonna run a lot of races with a this year almost cup tour. And he needs to learn as much you can I think that's the short coming up so much into the just getting your car dialed in to his liking. More laps to put up there more they can learn here this afternoon Richmond continues. The show the muscle hill this afternoon he likes this racetrack you heard him say a moment ago that it was his kind of practicing looks. Morgan Shepherd out of turn over to he's gonna make a run out of the back. Reyes got the inside groove right now trying to come up money inside a separate download I go separate squeeze it down a very close to each other and it looks like restless. This effort goes way up and high groove now Wallace a Bonnie Arrington are running out of them. They come off the corner door to Dover Richmond we'll get the lead in the fans give him a tear as it comes down the start finish. This line Tim Richman has taken the lead and a motor craft 500 bonus side by side again coming up journal. Fortunately they weren't but it shepherd running layup there's long been temperatures running fine on the bottom and you know who's gonna win that battle. Richmond coming off the bottom of the racetrack have to leave by three garlic shepherd his second. Terry nobody is third aren't artists look for a fifth is bill helping. And six is Darrell Waltrip the whole field is tightening up seven as Benny Parsons. Tim Richman is fueling door to door with a Rusty Wallace now try to stick Kimmel laughed out again saying using up that race car bulk him up there and Morgan Shepherd hang dry on the bumpers they come out of turner perform at Richmond is gonna get around Rusty Wallace as they come back in the front straightaway and had to turn over one. The deal was tightening up just a moment ago and continues to be that way the amazing car out there and injured his Darrell Waltrip night. He's running right against the wall which yet to be running an extra eight mile or so every time we go around here but he's played up about six or seven seconds on the leaders to. Yeah running extremely well I think. Things like the longer they. What foreign. Workflow and run and you. In this race horse race pace has slowed down considerably Tim Richmond last laps a 158 miles an hour. In the first hundred miles of us raise the risk 165 miles an hour after he was side by side with the Rusty Wallace car that may have slowed to just live more than the pace he would like to run running by himself and indeed Walter is catching up in the field is tightening the. The driver he isn't winning driver he has been over the last few years and we've talked about Iraq yes a lot of times. He can take a car it's not quite up to par and keep it in the lead left keeping it. Until circumstances he can get on pit road maybe get a cure order keep himself in contention to win a case somebody else has problems he's won an awful lot of races that way Richmond takes a back to. Watch football when Morgan Shepherd is content to just ride right there. So as the rest of the field they're all about five or six colleagues apart back through the top six positions. During two. Just to maybe. Nearly a quarter mile down to the race leader can erase later still Tim. When Morgan Shepherd they're pulling away from turn up on you Dale Earnhardt. Phil Elliott having some problems keeping his car loan to turn. Wanted to ask you look older richer than. Reported earlier that. Yeah a little bit. Cavaliers are not reported I don't want cars spun out and hit the wall it appears to be the its current Bryant party and one more card that Mike waltrip car slides up the banking and slams along and makes a lot of contact with another car trying to dive on a pit road. Bryan's car now since. Turn one right in the middle of moving them. Walking off the wall but he certainly spots around coming on my. Walker gets his car ride it comes on down the front straightaway but it's gonna put us under caution this for client's car has fun coming out of Chernoff for. And it brings out the caution flag and this is going to be a break for just about everyone listening the whole field on pit road at lap to 62 here when the caution comes out front while. Your body and from my viewpoint here didn't look like he's got a slap back but that we have with the officials. There's been a tough here for clip Stewart his crew chief Darryl Bryant's son Kurt driver of that car in every race he is run this year that car's been responsible. For at least one caution flag and even racking up record sacked yesterday and I'm last practice session as well. Which is not knocking the young driver he does not have experience in one of these 3700 mile race car but that's how you learn you have to get out there and take your lumps.

Also taken on four tires in the nationwide sport he was running in the lead lap. Well for the first half of the race and the end submitted an unscheduled pit stop it kind of power down in the only green flag but he's got a lap down but he's still been running very strong worst named Allen Terrell brown is the crew chief probably son's car number do they Chris dirt car. Did you kind of tired they're Daryl tell yeah. I guess what happened it's real glad you didn't like get blown out wants. Barely must be some sort of messing up they like having your son out there are right thing I'm sure that you're proud of him. The same time you gotta have my moment. Yeah I'm kind of round and yeah it's a hard road gig going and viewers about that right now just in keeping Nolan will eventually get back haven't been negative. We're back under green the accident turn to Rusty Wallace wants to get. They're running side by side and even kale Yarborough thought about going three wide in the turn. It'll be heard. You are but I'm always got to smoke Hernandez Brothers. Johnny red clay dirty real trouble out of its current trying to get into the wall right in front of Trevor boys down at front. You own findings like Johnson cars he wrote down off the banking and. Caution is on the speedway again is two cars that collided Kurt Bryant. And the slick Johnson automobile slammed together right in the middle of turnover for both have come to rest on the apron of the track let's reflected a settlement. As there are coming into the term we saw the end Jody Ridley car seemed to erupt something in the turn then knee comfort to our current Bryant. Like my yard loss coming into the turns out that slammed the outside Ty Law as he slipped down the banking. It's like Johnson trying to build all had no Roman drove right into the side of the Bryant dark they both sit disabled now down inside turn four. Everyone else gets through without accidentally as the eighth caution of the day in the second involving young Ryan comes on a lap to 68. Pace car opened up the field Betty Parsons immediately comes to pit road to take a look and just add fuel on the Carson's car. I think what's the other coming into my darling the how fast. They can make it on its enrichment to our own fuel around. Thank you and Jerry punch and also check film not dale earnhardt's crew. Richard Childress told me never talked about a lap for lap but I have short they're gonna try to bring him in before the green came back capita couldn't get its attention on the radio this will be a break for Richard Childers on right there crew they will bring him in and just put some fuel tank trying to get every dropping it. Looks like they Mason may also make a tire changer on the card number three the medical personnel are at both those drivers that are crashed up in turner before and we'll get a report on her condition just as quickly as we can. We're used to seeing in the second half race season a driver under caution will stay on the racetrack to lead a lap and get those five Winston cup bonus points and oftentimes it's one of the drivers chasing that championship. That won't do that who did it on the last caution. Richard Petty. To pay picks up five west a couple of points having little lap under the caution you're just about everyone on pit road will recap those when we return to Atlanta international raceway. This is some are on the motor racing network. The racetrack to the road home fill up the Sunoco the official fuel of NASCAR. So who makes high quality performance fuels for the greatest drivers in the world both on and off the track whether you're pulling up to the pump. Or into the pit. You can trust and hope go to veto of fuel that feeds you go second camp putts and I've got to feel going. Fill up with the official fuel of NASCAR's sonoco CSMC races. For quick update on the Kirk Brian and slick Johnson crashed let's go to Dave Sutherland. Okay have Barney both drivers are out of their cars Kirk is not just finding into the ambulance on its on what the health of the a safety officials he climbed out of the car walked over the same is that true for. Slick Johnson who was helped out of the car and has walked around the ambulance so they're both out and apparently okay. That is good news it was a very hard collision of their a lot of damage to both the cars. The situation on pit road now the front runners evolved into the pits won't go to Richmond for an update on his stuff let's go to nit picking the right side tires and pick them all the dancing that voters don't. And for Dale Earnhardt who was really concerned they just let's say they could not go the distance this caution is a blessing Jerry punch can update us there. Over utility standings Sami just now I simply known all the light jockey says they came in did not take its tire change just had a fuel the car he gently pulled out the key to every gallon and every ounce of fuel in the tank because the Wrangler Chevrolet is available make the dress the way. Now the problem is Darrell Waltrip is a leader so they're gonna have to do something with him because he is right up there at the front of the pack and Bill Elliott posted in the number two spot. And minutes Morgan Shepherd. Along with Terri the body so the earnhardt's car until rich we're gonna have to find their way around them and Benny Parsons currently is the fifth place car so there's what seven cars up there now it's gonna take a shot at winning this thing. 271. Laps or on the board and Darrell Waltrip. We talk about drivers who will lead the race in order to pick up five with a cup bonus points at Walter peerless to see stayed out waltrip the leader. As they come around Bill Elliott the second place car. Morgan Shepherd a third Terry my body. Benny Parsons then had Dale Earnhardt Tim Richmond Richard Petty and also now they're showing on the lead lap. Rusty Wallace and Jeff quote I'm netbooks ten cars on the lead lap and all of those cars have run extremely well. At one time or another today. Jet boat iron and rusty will be on the daily into the lead lap writing directly ahead of the leader but they still have a shot. Because we've got a long ways to race here yet this afternoon we've seen the caution be a blessing for quite feel the drivers to get right back up there party I'll we're standing in the pits of one driver just climbed out had a super on the latest nationwide sport is Jody Ridley Jody finally had the market but it puts you out. I'll play adoptive Weller I don't know red death. And now Iran I'll look at the most of the week. Don't sound arrogant you must act in a rare night. We're backed up load them but I'll in pretty good run on the line. Any plans for the rest of the year for you in the end in the nationalized car. Well at all to being on nice to IRA don't know him it's sort of world rice rice dale run now I'm not. You are and don't know what's known ma'am I'll throw this morning when a security risk. Solid race driver Alexi get a full time ride against like Johnson's cars pitched up to the record there taking it back to the garage here and you can see the front and it's really cave in on that car where he collided with Kirk Brian up there. That lawyers all start of that car and he'll be credited with a finishing position back. Let's check in with Junior Johnson who owns the Budweiser Chevrolet that Darrell Waltrip driving junior he did not come in apparently you feel that he can go the rest of the death in some fuel. And Danny now I had 62 laps to go and we went six to class and learn at the and so. Thank we've heard very safe as far as feels concern based thanking an awful pylon here are normally higher than Darrell Waltrip runs. Well I sent the houses cars and. CNN the right now my old. And we haven't been able to get there then I'll wait for hours. That's the slaughter my man. Wanted to close. And you want yeah. Aziz got a little sliver dragon is. And he's. You know gonna go on I'll. And have an X ray when he gets home tonight okay well I hope that they'll be okay. Talk it would Darryl and just. The subject to due to resolve their about the car not working not sticking at the bottom of the racetrack he sounds a little bit irritated that the car's not working a little bit better here but Darryl. Made no bones about that this track really will put you in trouble if the car's not right. You're gonna turn a lot of years I mean did it takes a lot more effort from the driver. Good. I guess my perspective of a driver's track is a little different and elevate and I think it attacked like this. I required a better car than anybody else's Jesse wise handling wise. If you miss it. Can't see why not appear targeted area are you just don't run it will lawyers do I really put more emphasis on the car and how it handles an updated driver of course you've got to. There's a lot of drivers can take you planning garden Michael Moore I have not to be one out but from the guys game. We'll we'll have to disagree with it today because his car has been ill handling and now he's a leader from babies a driver can take an ill handling car and find a way to get it. Don't Wear it works as opposed to we talked about here again earlier muscle in the car on the racetrack. One more lap will be racing we'll take time to tell you about a new publication of an oval race fans and as the manufacturers of automobiles increasing their involvement. Some of them are now publishing newsletters four consumer interest of the race fans board we told you previously has quick times. But you can subscribe to now Pontiac is new publication called winner's circle of your money extranet. You can write for subscription information to box 3213. Ontario California.

Good event here yesterday in Atlanta international raceway Dixie 300 for the Barca protect super car series built factory need to 33 year old driver from Chicago. Won his first ever super speedway event. Once second victory over Davis owes me. A lire and Erica champion Bob checked and Scott stole all my driver straight to the lead back and forth seventeen times in the Dixie 300 yesterday afternoon. We're just about set for restart here's the deal will be double file coming out of turn number four at the front of the pack is Darrell Waltrip. And the driver who chased him for the national driving title last year Bill Elliott ride second right behind this Morgan Shepherd and carry the body the front four as Terrell candor waves the green and they're gonna run for the money now. Heading back in the. Gearbox equipment so as Elliot he latches ride onto him and turn one. I'm for that matter Rusty Wallace and Jeff quote I'm taking me inside groove trying to work themselves off the most fun. Out of the racetrack may well come off the. Wallace a shut out the Hydro so nor can go thru there here's what I'm trying to get past Wallace down low I. And shepherd look. Take over the latest thing come off of turn shepherd goes up to the high side Terry nobody feels his spot on the bottom of the racetrack behind Jeff boat time. Wallace is holding the field as they come down the front straightaway you load time we'll try to get back about that lead lap and stayed there but with Jeffrey taken me and sign drove. Those already on the leaderboard take the high side bargain shepherd follow. Ladies and shepherd wanted to go high around Wallace but that group got set off they shop LaBeouf around the. Less than Wallace pulls away a separate had to go try to avoid contact. Emirates and kale Yarborough got a little sheet metals while they're coming off turn over to won't go with the battle right now it's up front and nobody can. Seem to get up there and catch the leader and traffic is the probably like oh. Traffic is the problem it's taking a long time for these guys to get themselves sorted out. Tim Richman is back about eight. I say shuffle around here comes Morgan Shepherd he's taken over the lead in chase is Rusty Wallace. Side by side Alley and I'll find them waltrip Parsons the fifty laps to go as they come by this time. At the head of the field is Rusty Wallace. On the tail and the lead lap Morgan Shepherd is there's a long way back then the second place Bill Elliott Terry the body of third of Benny Parsons foreign. Meanwhile Darrell Waltrip gets himself pinned to the low side of the racetrack. He's got Tim Richman and let. Taylor. Most content particularly how all of shuffled shepherd got very low so look like but I'm Monica. They knocked down a message an insurance rates Sheppard recovered he's still in the lead her and Kelly an easy way out I'll forward. And shepherd is doing an outstanding job here this afternoon of keeping that car in contention very much so Sears head of a handful of reporters he's been happy crowd. He's been able to hang onto the lead and right now he has the biggest lead since they put this restart out there Eli gold rush Port Charlotte. I'll just say boy isn't just have to we've got mark my. What Conte back in the picture. Zapper trying to get underneath Wallace and can really have command of the race and he doesn't sleeping moment. Sheppard is out there by himself Wallace then it see Elliott cardboard. Sheppard had to get underneath Rusty Wallace and try to get away because otherwise they be breathing right down his throat. Elliott a side by side with a full body back for possession for third spot Terry the body goes into the corner side by side looked every bit as things are really heating up here to Atlanta. Talk about a good race we've seen one this afternoon here in Atlanta and it's far from being over Morgan Shepherd has some breathing room. At least a little bit as the laps wind down here to Lebanese about a second ahead of billow and at the bottom of the second back Tim Richman. Normally hit back into the turner wanna be like oldies Elliot seems to be really heavily there. Woman's right thing to going to lead time back Jonathan comes by here. News point six seconds so it. My first us. Outrun now Morgan Shepherd still trying to stay ahead and Elliott back there third is Tim Richmond he's still got to get around Rusty Wallace. It's more than Dale Earnhardt currently sits there. Along that second pass some leaders pack of leaders and excellent battle for the tenth spot Jeff Conine has a lap down. And Bobby Allison would not talk too much about Bobby today but he is battling right along with a when kale Yarborough is ride alongs on Allison as they raced her eleventh down into turn one that. When you saw mommy gets on the back out just this match because he. He was sandwiched. They come up to. He's ahead of failure. And that Tyson was dropped we got back to dream about first finally tonight. I'm crazy I take that back now here comes directly underneath Wallace. Cameras little get underneath rusty Wallace's he is trying to make up some ground on the front too as they threaten to pull away a little bit right now Richmond is at one of the strongest cars all day and I can hopefully get back up thirty makes things exciting direct return to. Jim right now is nearly ten seconds down the leaders again. Just point. Elliott continues to to win that lead from Morgan Shepherd shepherd and having a little bit on travel work and a realistic. Elliott a slight fire line closing in on. Packet timing up here and so is the racing at 287 laps completed Atlanta international raceway Morgan Shepherd half a second over Bill Elliott. Bit of a gap then back Tim Richmond here now is burn our work his way under Rusty Wallace of Wallace. A lap down in ninth spot wolf all the detail of that lead pack let's go to Ned Jarrett. And Morgan and Jack Reed it's the car owner standing there weren't very good girls don't look a little bit. You want that thing. Good guard. They're not gonna let nobody nobody even out. And lord Melbourne and her religion and Logan can hold up. I sure hope so no I'm not mean. When I haven't Rockingham we'll. That's okay. Right. The team has really come into its own take over out of think everybody who's ever grown project feels like he's one of the best in the business he proves it every time he puts a different driver of the car Eliot. Closes up he is within six or seven Carly to the leader right now. And that is going to be trouble for Morgan Shepherd because Elliott may have been playing a waiting game although his car. Has not run at the bottom of the racetrack like he wanted to hear this afternoon what a difference a year makes last year he won both the events here in Atlanta raceway. Don't count him out I really felt like he could turn his season around here this weekend. He's like dole he's working on it. He is working on his situation last year like you say pretty well dominant here. Women injured leg in one right. Let's say how well they can hold my lone grove this time and turn Austrian born Jennifer Dixon down the line line. On the run right down there when it cardiac chemical lines. Through internal voice comes to pit road. Morgan Shepherd is at one career Winston cup when he was driving the Stewart Pontiac at Martinsville is a former Busch grand national champion and it was a late model sportsman division. And Jack Levy may well know there's one spot open on NASCAR's lucrative winner's circle and they were to win this event that would put them on that. Program which could be worth a couple of 100000 dollars. As the season goes on. Benny Parsons just moved him past Darrell Waltrip know Luke Parsons up into the sixth position as Walter continues to slide a little back in the field eternity itself. Going home now examining even now there and as the cardinals who turns three and point drop books I'm not. Will land of ours is able to pull away from. Something a lot here. Final stages in this race earlier this afternoon Tim Richmond and turn the body linked up and chased down Dale Earnhardt when he was setting a blistering pace. They have linked up again Eli gold at the moment they seem to be. Run nose and tail and they are shortening the gap. That's going to make you know. The Palin try it takes everybody now. I'm not the third place this 2.5 three seconds. Leaders off turner perform back down the start finish line as Morgan Shepherd looks at the net rear view mirror he sees a big cooers side. And right behind that big Corzine is steering wheel with Bill Elliott holding onto it he's just a Carly back and turn to. We haven't gotten pretty much clear sailing on and off an opportunity wanna Elliott. I'll within shouting distance certainly put me show. Sorry did pick up the pace of the race basis now down about 34 seconds a lap that's a 161 miles an hour. And that is about four miles an hour faster than they were running before everybody got to pit road for fresh tires. Like you were talking about Jake will burn everything you apparently able to set a car. On the you've been named the pow my. Can you help me. Are we better Jesse man of the business. Medicine looked up and down that road of these teams have to make another stop if we get a caution I don't see a whole lot of tires flying around pit road new tires that can go on those cards. Okay. Okay. You know a lot of tired. We wanted out there. You won't come. Yeah. Well look like a moment ago that Tim Richman a terrible body work reeling in the front two. Now the analysts stressed a little bit it was about two point six seconds of volatility just a shade over three right now as Morgan Shepherd. And Bill Elliott continue to put. They live on the field and Eliot lost another couple comics of the leader over pumping like oh. I have been going around the funny Harrington are just about 300 yards prior. Senator John finally know my. Arlene could fill the deficit coming. And still trying to rail and end Darrell Waltrip meanwhile has begun to fall behind Benny Parsons considerably last time why tough download. But now it's heading right back up the banking. Running a little groove and taking it up enough. I just drove it becomes an attorney. More let's take you back through the field trip at 297. Laps. Morgan Shepherd is the race leader Bill Elliott a second difference but his third fourth of terror in the body of a fifth of Dale Earnhardt Benny Parsons and six Darrell Waltrip who slipped to seventh. And return pennies on the last car on the lead lap he is 81 lap down in night. He's Rusty Wallace back now running in Tampa's Jeff pulled by two products ahead of kale Yarborough. Twelve we Bobby Allison and thirteenth movie Tommy Ellis those cars are one lap down but more. In relation here and they Morgan Shepherd we have according to them the last time around they within the league picked up another 4000 dollars from Kodak. The tree right now and so he's collected at least 8000 dollars of that money. And that's considered 55000 dollars. Rapture thing that makes a big difference from the drivers and the teams are well aware that don't you think they don't try to position themselves. For those money laps started to pick up the money kale Yarborough and his team are one of the best defense to 98 go up on the board of the motor craft 500. As the front to try to put a lot of daylight on the field settled among themselves rather have some great cars up there chewing through victory here this afternoon that may be one reason that Bill Elliott says hey. I just won't arrive here in the draft not get door to door but those. Third fourth fifth sixth place car pick up a full second on assessing his back turned one. I think come through turns one and we'll know when things change there we're just watching the battle for twelve it's not a good one Bobby Allison. Working side my side Allison for the moment entering turn for. It's. Great begala and make it through the turn nicely don't want next season Intel. My body and Earnhardt are running in fourth and fifth showing tire smoke in the front tires as they went to turn street Norwood sitting and little that I handling around a little three wide racing coming around the fourth quarter announcements often to bite to battle as well. Who knows what from kale Yarborough started coming down the front straightaway it wasn't for the NC department coming out from beneath the rear end. These downer like gold you keeps a sharp pointed in the right. Racetrack everyone gets it. My ass cars slowing down dramatically fills its. Partly sunny apron here's your latest on the reform party just like last year about 25 laps to go and kills cars got up in smoke. And just like eighty forward Benny Parsons behavior was leading the race less than ten laps to go ahead and all the weapons well he's the winningest driver here to Atlanta for the love winning today. Busiest on the apron cracked he's getting onto the pit road right. Hill was the eleventh place car running a lap down in Los flat early on in Iran sixty something that maybe some laps without getting caught. One battle for third place off. Effort shows what my team work it's different enough money has idiocy comes down the middle of the backstretch and keeps it low going into turn three and is already. Airport currently ahead of Richmond going into the. More kale Yarborough as hardee's Ford sits on pit road with a hook up with Steve Smith who give us an update they're working on. They're just trying to think what went wrong they think that maybe. The frustrating year for dailies have problems at Daytona had problems up at Rockingham there. I know runs fairly well here this afternoon but mechanical malfunction is putting a lot of pit road looks like babysitting. That's what they wanted and what. They have broken no line and word road where I expect him. It's an event you can hear the detection and I want to welcome boy threw the. Eleventh place battle side by side off turn over four has Tommy Ellis underneath Bobby allison's. Across the start finish line a Chevrolet and Buick battled out in one. Renewable a few months ago Alice. Iron and coming up turn ever so Tommy Ellis wins. The freeway in the market. Looks like trouble on Tim Richmond's car and breathe it's been a slowing up considerably Earnhardt got I'm sold as well Bonnie now he's really saw the return but doesn't look like he's making a turn on the him. Richmond try to nurse the car home here this afternoon but he's borrow to pay something is riled the cardinal running anywhere near the speed was earlier. As a leader works in the back straightaway and hits. Three Q latest coming in there. Trade still Mark Shepherd. Morgan Shepherd is working very well nutrient for kicking a lot but not a proven that corner right there coming through turn quarry seems to be very comfortable everything. And on the pillow and feel bad isn't near the Tim Richmond that Sears store a lot of it may not. So I'm drama that brown black and he doesn't know it done doesn't wanna come my way back I'm never got around to snap the and a carburetor ice. Well it's hard to say whenever that right foot putt on the floor as far as Richmond pushes it to make everything go and anything can happen he had an excellent race going here today. Until the misfortune. Benny Parsons just a couple of garlic senator Darrell Waltrip may swap position for many running up the high side of the racetrack and barrel download they continue to. Move back and forth and Addison for the fifth position. And here comes a leader he's going to be handed traffic a little bit down and turn over one that might allow Bill Elliott to shut the door a little bit more. We'll go round of Michael Walsh. The automobile doing so claiming they've hired. Richard Petty and negotiate past and it's now six highlights are separately managed. Separate kind of find what's right is gonna go around Richard Richard we'll take it up the banking and just timing doesn't go on the banking. And markets have almost tags and detail and has to go up the road to get to the outside of Richard. Here we are currently out of the hardest ordeal and knock your nuclear into the right there on and I'll plug. A hole I am all on the on the ground in order to ensure until the moment young man only and that's their little problems like energy and. Reflect what about my afternoon. Now president. Aren't they yeah. Can you just takes it all in stride but they sure wanna get their team turnaround because they didn't have the best seasons last year. They hope to be maybe like Bill Elliott was last year but right now has not started out that way so appeal will join Sterling Marlin Dave Marcus Neal bought an HP clearly chip Philip Rick Wilson. On Bouchard. Phil Ruffin has some of the drivers who will not finish this afternoon. Based elements involved because Morgan Shepherd ran up on the back to Richard Petty there was no problem there but many have been running pretty high line on the racetrack I think Sheppard. Intended duck underneath him and dale Inman called Richard on the radio it's and that's the leader right behind you and Richard. Gave it came down below proven gave separate the high ones where he wasn't quite prepared to go cause we're a little bit of this lead which now stands at about. Well call it six or seven car Lexus Bill Elliott tracks about a turn four and back to the start finish line. And it's AJ Foyt brings his car on pit road for an unscheduled pit stops and it cost him a few more laps also brought to work back into turn over water for the moment. It looks like Morgan Shepherd may be. All the way to victory here this afternoon Bill Elliott has had an inside you like go over the last fifteen laps around but inside is about all. Really is about how to stop it. Talk here and there but there's just the neighborhood. Where sports highlights a similar situation for. I think there's still those details that the stretch in the battle for the third in the morning Earnhardt still about street darling and I'm Bonnie they're running all by themselves the only other battle left now. Cars marijuana in the long trip from time to time is able to get real close to Parsons and any dates back about eight or ten car lengths and is backed up most of again. Got to wonder what happened and they are harder knowing her she's busy helping. The car that was capable of leading early today just the class of the field so to speak and after that last pit stop they've just steadily went back to the neck. Looks like he's locked up the rapture ready are hard charger award over Morgan Shepherd and Bill Elliott its way to stand right now here with. Just sixteen laps to go here in Atlanta but Marty it's just. The technology these cars has progressed to the point. Where this such a fine line between running well and running not so well and Earnhardt was right on that tight rope. The first half of this race and second have a looks like you after the last couple pit stop his fall off that the car just doesn't work anywhere near. Like it did the storm. I think you can see part of what it is and both ends of the speedway in front of beauty like only has not anywhere near the bottom of the racetrack in fact the card pick it up. Full couple lanes. It's really isn't that so major deviation from. And hire crew would compare to how we're currently running for the first couple. Obviously go far apart different cars this term to relate. Shepherd as a leader as he heads back to turn over one Phil Elliott right behind him about fifteen or twenty colleagues back looks like separation little bit more than that right now and probably a good full second. The third place car is here in the body and her heart has a shot him was still plenty of distance. And they have anything left. News and everything he's got left plus a little more. Yeah. Now we can do now is if we can go wrestle I don't feel like. Again donut hole. It's not during that last call spirit it's. Well you're on. You'll come up with a force did not get the gas mileage that the General Motors products do or have not in recent years that might be a factor here reports over the afternoon. Great praise of stay the same since this last caution flag and running just about 34 seconds or a 116161. Miles per hour. And what's that Morgan Shepherd is now opened up a few more car likes on Bill Elliott is about seven great garlic from. First to the second spot and it's a long way back to that third place casino will be Terry the body and the body is six seconds. Behind the race leader jeopardy comes round lead lap 316. It'll be twelve laps to go for Morgan Shepherd. And Dale Earnhardt now running about five comics and military to money that's about it. Correct me on Ladislav body running ahead of Dale Earnhardt but he's. Losing a little brown they're a Hollywood have a shot to maybe pick up that position reports over but he like goalies losing ground. It is not entirely behind during the point wanting an eight martians come around here if there was the war. Way to downtown Atlanta find out how to get the man McCauley is that when the longest afternoons and how he's not found that car in the wall. Rustling in the opening an Oldsmobile division here. The funny thing is they went up by the wall by yulia line this time through three and four he was right down in the remote concentrator Shrek took tire hardness of the Wally knows he. Crashes down the back straightaway rev Wright took down the backstretch wall. Kenny schrader kind of tired of exploding if he went. Until there's talk. Should on the street right herald another car spins off turned over to Michael Waltrip goes towards the outside retaining wall. He gathers the automobile back in his brother Darrell Waltrip will. Wrestle his arm of the outside of his Brothers machine has all of a sudden there's caution here in Atlanta and. And Bill Elliott ducks on the pit road and hurry admit this is a judgment call do you stay out there or do you pit. No I think you get Monica because he was big whale lost everything dropped out our what's the real fun began for absolutely no problem and force them to turn they're not gonna. Independent and nobody else they will there be sure. They're able to make it. They're changing the right side I think they're gonna come around and gentlemen I'm tired of well how many of them more fresh tires and really given a shot at and I don't think dog everything the left side yards. They're just got to do what's right away when you're down. Have little trouble getting drivers are often well they are not happy about this caution flag out of the Morgan Shepherd pit to the Jerry punch as there. No they're not Mike up there waiting for mortgage every company and they will bring you midday Keller standing on the road the big orange 47 signed late in the race so far as Buick to make its way down pit road here comes Morgan Shepherd. The yellow light blue we'll try to reported seven films go home and we'll change right side tires. You're watching the the worst smelling car bill Elliot lake made the right side tire that is not a name calling right side tires. Another to retain all four cardinals or is never far. And now taking over as the left front tire off him Jackson left out of the car. Fresh tire performance difference unemployment of fuel and Jeff George Carlin or. So it almost dictates that if a couple of the front runners like those pits stops and changed four tires you almost half. You'll also all you have a question batting coach fresh start little run about a second a lap faster than. You start your real really coming back here. Everybody. Millen gone down that road I learned long remembered. That was something that back then Kenny schrader is just climbed from the red Barron pizza Ford Thunderbird. It was a tough look at the wall off turn two but traitor is okay it can't quite see the same thing. Don't reveal however. Illustrator have been one of our picks for the Timex timely just move after he avoided a spinning Kyle Petty in turn number two weeks. Maybe also a strong candidate for the goodies headache award today there are. Eight laps to go there still working on Kenny traders accident over and turn over to relax try to get tracked cleaned up they certainly wanna finish this to a degree differs anyway. They do they've got an army of folks here taking huge chunks of Tyre just chucking them aside. They have not gotten my car on the record they are pulling it off the racetrack. And there's very little other debris just they go chunks of rubber from left to right front tires we should be able to get back to racing before the laps round. Tim Richman did not hit a moment ago now and he had he elects do this I guess they they sized it up Barney out I think they were going to stay out there and see if this thing live in under caution. But then had little other than it ever get this thing cleared away and get green flag back out there. The and Harry had decided coming and they haven't Philadelphia thank you correct that accelerator linkage problem that he was having their meanwhile they're changing all four tires on the Folgers Coffee machine. Well it's got a bunch of at least separate cars on the lead lap right back together here at the front of the pack so we if we do go back to green and it appears now that we will as they continue to work over there in turn two it's going to be a dandy finish. But they have hooked up getting straighter scarred pulled him away his car slid along the wall all the way to the midpoint of the backstretch the red barons meet supported Jimmy Dominic. Richard Petty stayed on the racetrack and it is now back on the lead lap at the tail end of the lead lap it looks like Tim Richmond what was the leader. Morgan Shepherd rule once again be the race leader as the go back to green. Dale Earnhardt was the second round off pit road Terry nobody is third or fourth would be the Darrell Waltrip according to our unofficial run down Bill Elliott. What lineup fifth and Benny Parsons six. Then Tim Richman would be seventh. And those seven cars are on the lead lap along with Richard Petty who's at the tail end of that lead lap one lap down rusty Wallace's night Jeff Levine has tapped. Bobby allison's eleventh and two laps back in the twelve spot is Tommy Ellis thirteenth Azeri gas. Todd wrote take of pork chop away from the doberman in the tooth pick to lead away from those lapped cars that are up there there's gonna run for the checkered flag here in just a moment. We're still working cost Atlanta that a beautiful day here for just order broadcast. And has seen a probably a capacity crowd it looked to be every seat in the house was fooled by the time they drop the green flag this afternoon just past the 130 mark as the field comes by and they take a look at Harrell can look yellow still waving as they continue to work over in turn to what is it looked like Eli. I've just finished Barney the last of the cleanup man I'm just climbed aboard the truck they have pulled away Kenny traders cars are already departed they are stopping again the cleanup crew is happy the spot where Kenny Sri there's automobile came to a rest of their picking up a few pieces of debris there but that should be their last stop before the wouldn't ago to a who'd you pick. Earlier her heart was so strong earlier today. And then up until his pit stop here they kind of dropped back a little bit shepherded been strong on different occasions during the body's been a factor right up there all the Walker's car has not worked that well. He's certainly been a contender to win and Bill Elliott. He wants a victory probably as bad as anybody out there. Part of it all depends on upon who jumped inside those Carson made chassis changes or retains let's say the staggered the relationship between the tires are conference's. At the back of the car on this last pit stop I don't think anyone expected the caution of be out puppet run for green were pretty much settled where things would end up but. Somebody might have pulled cart out their back pocket in and come up with a combination to win this race. From one caution flag the next you can't really tell who was strong and who's going to be strong when you drop the green flag but it looks like. They'll take one to go this time by get the green flag on lap three Torre for it will have four laps at green flag racing to decide this. Raced well you have to hold your breath for those four laps. They're quite a few car still ultimately left last for a valley indicated seven cars were on the lead lap Richard Petty has now also should be back on the lead lap although he's at the tail end of it running directly ahead. Of the leader. A lap down also would be Jeff Levine and Bobby Allison they've had a pretty good race here this afternoon and here is Benny Parsons they're bringing his car back on the pit road he's had a good run here this afternoon let's go to it. Well no surprise they weren't bringing back then that money they're gonna change the left side tires aren't apparently they just think the right side when he was a little bit earlier and vigor that he needed all they'll need to get does that make this run for a the many here with four laps ago. Browsers now going to be one lap to go before the event agreements get a quick comment from Buddy Baker buddy we've been talking up here about. Who's gonna win this thing and you've been out there are kind of run and among them what do you think. He thinks the crowd heard. To say body be got to pick out who might win this thing from the guys up front you've been out runner with a all the way. And I. We'll be elected you'll have probably the best seat of all of us to see this finished. That's ready to go political brain going to be coming up shortly they form up double file restart over in front of Dave Sutherland it'll be in Morgan Shepherd Dale Earnhardt and turn up body on the inside realm lady knows. Cars that are not allowed eighteen point Richard Petty and Rusty Wallace. They're getting sent market segment of layoff the back he'd get his RPMs up a little bit before the green comes out. Buddy Baker says he thinks Earnhardt went and he's out there and that Crisco car carrier in car microphone this afternoon it was a green flag waves with four laps remaining pace cars in behind that wall. And shepherd comes up through that gearbox and her he gets away from. Earnhardt's lap lover's ex colleagues as they get turned one. Regardless of who you're rooting for all these race fans I've smiles on their face they're seeing and a heck of a show I turn right now plus free from the he's back to win. Earnhardt charging down your hard through the speedy dry weather she schrader car was there are no details. It right down Earnhardt almost on a flat part of track trying to go on any good battle that field Bobby Allison took a spot away from Richard Petty here to come off turn over four single file and heard artist Mary is just one car length back. Love the race leader Terry the body has third Walter was born Elliott spent postcards tighten up and hurry and turn it right there on the rear deck lid on the mortgage separate car. Earnhardt looks good and shot off turn two. And. Single file off a corner and maybe whoever can go lowest through the turns is going to be the one who wins and here shepherding command a high grade drop down. The white line and Bernhard is on my part of the racetrack slides back up he could be in trouble they get sent to Mars. If that's going to be the case both those guards are gonna finish in a dead heat because they can both run run on the apron of the track two laps to go as they get back to turn over one is Dale Earnhardt just a couple of colleagues away from Morgan Shepherd. I'm most front two cars have now for a car lands on my body fluids those detailed what Walter Brennan Elliott often. Earnhardt right there. Shepherd and aren't gonna be the show here's make gunned down her heart drops off avatar like here's Jeffords down to the wall finally. Earned our way. It down on. And below the white line now why can't back compliment coffers schaeffler. Earnhardt was almost on the flat coming off the corner herald candor he waves a white flag we're on the last lap of the photograph 500 shepherd. Bernhard lower body Walter and Elliott to turn one. Wanna show here in Atlanta still everybody holding their possessions the front to Earnhardt somewhat out of shape but he really tries for high. Tired claim on the backstretch Shepperd coming down the backstretch high entrance into turn three Gary as this is the last chance markets. I've heard this low. Way down underneath Morgan Shepherd.

You know would do with a little Marat you know men more or more competitive with him because congratulations Jay conveyed in Morgan dollar rather work hard then. You know own child was still a trial drowned when oil for Wrangler Goodridge. He almost dominating there in turn three the last time daily cargo a little bit slippery or through them. Well was doing all I can do you know in his you know is hooked up do so thin the good race held that race. Let's Dale Earnhardt finishing second that's putting it mildly it was a than.

This and I just I don't know what decides you know it says here he's just really worked great all night on Jay cannot. Communicating enough we just kept talking about well first clues loosened then we. Pushed him I don't know. We're just finally got the power Steiger and were trying together or not. The car was working very their team then one and then the other shot at Jay Elliot he gave yard run there and then at the end was learn or. Well the car just work so good when I it was comment I knew that I can stay don't Obama track and I didn't didn't have to go back Kyle lockup did earlier. I knew it would be tough for him a Heisman he felt when you went into this year with this opportunity and Jack maybe car that you would be in victory right. I'll failure but you know filled it and it happened in a suit ever tying stuff until Jack and among Dow fell locker we could win at least five verses are so. Or Chris may be over here's the latest that we don't clear here a whole lot of she's the wife of Jack Peter Griffin or that your excited. That's not the word Florida there is not. Now you elated that that deals with horses a lot that's what are your thing of course Jack's thing his is the race cars that this seems to make it all worth. It certainly does I want this for Jack so badly where everything you in Victory Lane thank you. A well deserved victory here this afternoon from Morgan Shepherd Jake children Jack BV home that the team this afternoon. Assured him back into this when they want it let's collected Jerry punch. While Terry Bonnie finished third Barney and he's standing with each area last pit stop buff he came in and got four tires that you think that possibly the Piedmont airlines although they'll have a shot at it. Well I didn't over learn but we thought we would. Playing him in push a little bit all day whenever could get an out of it and then. The lesson guitars that really won much better than it was a sip before but it was a good run for sure we're pleased to finish third. Morgan ran good all day long and India gave make a run there at the end. Can say pretty well in the point standings your only twelve Michael Waltrip before the race and get a third place finish so well. It's been a decision for you win last week in a good strong letters a good that this strong crew there with a car you gotta be police. I am I'm just thrilled there's you know I haven't had so much fun race in a long time. And every race we go to you know we're always look forward to it and I was gonna awful good once again as in the Piedmont airlines Anderson we're trucking group. Let's turn body heat finished third regulations from Morgan Shepherd for his win in the motor craft 500 but it's time for the motor racing network crew devotes 750 dollars to some driver this afternoon or whoever they see. As making the Timex timely this move of the race award for nomination let's go to turn wanna be like old. Well from the sound of the speedway I don't think there was a question as to which incidentally yield of Timex award went Kyle Petty spun in turn number one back on the 131. Lap. Three drivers that some great maneuvers to avoid Kyle Petty. One was Greg Sachs the other Buddy Baker the third being Ken Schrader and I wanna say that Kenny schrader may be a subjective. Look at. Kenny made the better move of those three drivers to avoid Kyle Petty I'll cast a nomination and finish writers direction. They've subtly turn three well my spotter Jack Canada and I have been so going over a list about half a dozen time next time this moves and we've come up with one driver who's gotten to where the votes. And that's Buddy Baker one to avoid running into a Kyle Petty over there and turns one into one lap 131 and and later. To avoid slamming into the side of slick Johnson after his collision with the Kirk Bryant around lap 268. So much to out of the six votes from fur from us we got a Buddy Baker. Jerry punch. Well Santa has just give my vote to Kenny straighter Kenny trader who have made a move and Kyle Petty kind of tiring with live to looping up across a racetrack and turns one and two and say that car early and rice would be if although from my Timex moon while have a Barnett have Darrell Waltrip with the U finished fourth and there'll. Your parallel you could all day long that they're that Budweiser Chevy Navarre home of the fourth place friends. Well we did we thank the lord for that in I was mostly how much they had and always feeling kind of bay hadn't. Hope you feel better and I came off severe tired head gear and get my shoes off Ayman Palin so hard old Dalia I really was tired but. We were really really fortunate today united cycle or for good Finnish coast it looked like we were who struggle all the way and then we ended in pretty good shape something to this. There were talking about during the race it's a 500 mile race which year old and a former high proven Barney and microchip we need you must are about 600 miles. I had just trying to get in shape you got to still been up to Iraq couldn't see the wall listen and get him as general warned in a three info or. You know I couldn't see the wall but it one more thing once they had a learning mower he's doing really good now wanna answer vita for reform goes that he needs our prayers and I'm just. I'm really happy for today we live at the few layups or one examine. In the carted good Ngo and again I've worked so hard in the deal we knew we go struggled today we started fifteenth the car never has which responded Dana and we go into it. To come home in fourth place. Men and academic border right now. Do you feel pretty good about coming back for the Winston analogy you've had a pretty good you for you ran the card got a valve in toward the end of the race. What are your thoughts about the once the whale we're worried we got to come back here induce more distant we're not says anywhere near like we need to be. And we know Lynn in it's a long way off you know we'll we'll probably do something special for that race maybe build another car just for here so. Today it was a little. The last Darrell Waltrip. Really didn't learn what he wanted to do this afternoon but he was very concerned about that race coming up in the future. And as you heard him say he is not happy at all the car quite a few of the drivers pulled up we have political I expect we'll see a lot of testing here before Lewiston let's get Ned Gerris vote. On the Timex move the barn am I cast my vote for came as traders well for the reasons that he Largo pointed out but also to include in that when he had his problem oh there he kept that car up next to the wall and out of the way the traffic jam and I think that that was the time removed. As well or even though it could amount of the race but nevertheless that he didn't come down and take others out with it Mike. Part of what impressed me about traders grew over the one by Buddy Baker was nominated was one caddie jumped underneath Kyle Petty the car won all the way down onto the apron and it's real sharp transition to bounce down on that a front end bounce back up and and keep control that impressed me. Well anytime you can keep from colliding with several other cars and creating what could. Be a major accident instead of a minor skirmish over there. No chance to cast your votes I'll make it unanimous and and go with Kenny straighter he'll collect 750 dollars from the Timex corporation for making the time next time we just move the race. Take a look at the finish in the motor craft 500 Morgan Shepherd wins his first super speedway NASCAR Winston cup event. Dale Earnhardt a second third goes to Terry robotic fourth place finisher is Darrell Waltrip fifty Bill Elliott. Six the Benny Parsons and seventh to Tim Richmond all of those on the lead lap.

Back Saudi word Martinsville and that's a big triple header event I can't wait out the I love that racetrack. Because you get to sit the fans and does so close to the action and when to bring the modifies the grand nationals and those labels are Carson you're gonna see a lot of action. Well as physically girls track and and all the folks will be making their way up there next weekend because it was a cup drivers.
