1995 First Union 400

This is Ken Squier. Time now for MRN dot coms to roll back Thursday. Classic NASCAR races from the motor racing networks raise our fault it's a presentation of them are in radio voice of NASCAR racing. Every great short track races is on the agenda today. The reason that visit to the north wall for a speedway the moment in 1949. This has always been a unique. Physical layout Bobby Hamilton will start board. I would say is I didn't. Even beyond Chris. And the reason site and you can fall back it's hammer down as far as TV goes. At the corners get all the hard. I'm doing right star. Gap there got a finessed them bottled Euronet meal bags right away. And then you come kind of frustrating travel around. I think they fast cars go. Temperatures are expected to hit 85 degrees today has 45000. Fans are ready to experience NASCAR short track racing. Please dial former. Doom car they own radio. Brazilians. Lowe's card today. Sponsored by his goodies headache powders on pain relief tablets it. Leo officials pain reliever of NASCAR. Kevin say simply glorious afternoon for racing here at Wilkes county North Carolina yes it's a bit breezy by temperature in the mid eighties. And Barney hall we're set to go racing here on the short track of the north Wilkes burrows speedway and it's a bit of a different cast of characters at the head of the line up here today. In other that he qualifying here. But it's close you're gonna see it in the short tracks we go to but aside from that there's so many things that's gonna play in this race this afternoon avenue pit road here which will be talking about as the day goes by. That is really changed everything as far as getting in and out of how many laps you would lose if you have to pit under green on schedule. Tire Wear be a very big factor here today this racetrack very abrasive the last couple of times we've been here. And the third thing I think it's on everybody's mind is can't we stop Jeff Gordon he's simply been on reeled in 1995. On the Busch pole today Jeff Gordon a man who restored it no worse than fourth. In any of the 1995. NASCAR Winston cup races and Jim Phillips he set to go from a point this afternoon. Yes he has Ely a 118 point 765 the Busch pole winning speed for Jeff Gordon. Jackie did it test over Concord speedway track kinda similar this did that make the difference in you winning the bush told. Well I you know I mean we really didn't say okay this is what's really done BR north looks broadcast but we you know it's close for us and it's attract its. Yes Linkedin and flat and you can learn some things and if you go about the Ryland we've done in the past just to shake down some cars and it's the so far seems to be held by not you know we're trying out some things and and so far there work in forests are we would be here on the all right now. Again 118765. The Busch pole winning speed for Jeff Gordon going after his fourth win of the year and it feels. Like they're short track program has really turned around and obviously from Bristol last week it has. Brett vote on we'll start in the outside the front row this afternoon a favorite team need the shot in the arm is certainly here at their home track they do today let's get his thoughts right now with Santelli is within. It's got to be a very special failing for Brett but I and it's where he got his first win he's getting buckled and Gary junior Johnson's track and on the front row all rolled into one weekend. By you know Israel's special this being a home home my headquarters of Lowe's and of course junior's home track. Black half minutes when we rolled in here on Friday in Nath and I really feel good about Jesus and a car ran well yes say in last practice. I was a set to see how we stack up against competition. What will it take to win today for Brett but I. Hopefully it'll be allowed her long green flag runs that seems to be our strength if we have a lot of restarts aside and play indoor TSE set up so. I seem likely run better and real long green flag runs in Nash you know hopefully but the slows Ford Victory Lane. Jesse senate tire aware mnemonic cautions on everybody's mind Brett but I'm rolls off second. One of the more consistent Ford Thunderbird teams over the last number of weeks has been the Bobby Allison team for driver Derrick cope out of sped away Washington. They tested here a couple of weekends ago and I'm investment gets paid off be starting third today. Outstanding qualifying effort for Derek kind of a continuation of the role you've been on so far this season what about today. Well you know we're hoping for good things you know straight arrow for her aren't pretty long practice and you know we we are all good intentions and on iron trying to stay up front and then try to CL lonely state keep this thing on tires. That's been the question of the day so far I asked Derrick about it he said we don't know we're gonna find out though. In a secure place to find out in a hurry Bobby Hamilton's been on a roll lately had the best running Pontiac all of 1995. We have the best qualifying run he's had a long long time and any thing. Starting fourth here this afternoon Jim Phillips is caught up with them. Three top ten foot issues out of six races fourth last week Bobby Hamilton what's clicking the difference. Just a lot anymore I too am I these guys who have. How Smart air there it's yet failing that a driver can unload off truck in its first slap on the racetrack be about as quick as while trying to happen though several week. And he just builds confidence that in the draft the Hokies got confidence in one another and the driver I've got confidence and they don't. And this is a lot of metal guy and as it has a horsepower David Chase the horsepower to chase his hair doesn't get confidence. And someone has taken a magic marker and put aside his name the may have Bobby Hamilton. They have really had an outstanding run may have got three top five finishes. In the last ten or three top tens I should say in the last four races leaks speed also opened a lot of eyes this weekend with a superb qualifying run. The Jackson Mississippi driver has the milling machine parked in six spot on the grid. Let's get his thoughts as we get set to start the first union 400. Like getting buckled and what the last moment word from his wife racing as he sits in the car. He gets a kiss from race safe as they say pre race prayer leg another good qualifying run but the questions got a BetaNews staff there all day and as the team ready to win. Well I thank you realistically as I am Mellon to fort Payne is doing a great job where would come along way like he says so far we're not there yet we know we're not there yet. We're continually make him progress we're getting a little bit better every week. And you know we've got a few layers we need to shore up yet you know we need to we need a little bit more personnel would laugh to keep taking in the shop when it's forever caters to different people. The filling some of the gas to give us that little extra time to do some little fire fanned ten in. Finishing touches that we need to get this team worse prepared to win a race. But likes that we're making progress to spam Ford is running a little bit better every week. And hopefully will be able to have our eyes stay sharp enough to they'll hold on this racetrack out here today. Even a bit short on help restart six this afternoon and confidence for a good run that a good weakened already for lake speed dimension earlier 36 drivers of qualified for the first union 409.

Everybody to the north looks Karl speedway were two laps away from the start of the first you can 400. 35 cars who pulled out of the speedway. This is a 36 car field that trickles machine won't start with the Kelli is watching the repair. Well first I thought I was a battery cable problem they took the last rare time I'll check the battery which is right in front of men found Donnie wing out the great achievements and inside the car working on the ignition. Is now setting up and ride has not started somewhat of an ignition problem on the. Lord boy that is hard to believe I've we'll talk about this is the afternoon goes flat may have been involved. All six races they've had a acts that are been caught up in an accident I don't need this. I'm but more of course wanna be winning this car ownership group cheer but more engineering and ministry of north books burrows speedway car waving off the one to go signal at this point. As the team's role further build up the tire temperatures quite happy you're getting set to start today's first few give 400. You've already heard from the three man crew down on pit road in the garage of a recovery reaction there. Also on the broadcast there's always positioned high above turns green warriors the north slope Borough speed right Joseph Moore from Hampton Virginia. I see my good afternoon everyone and she called earlier it is a spectacular day the sun's out the skies cloudless but there is a very stiff wind blowing. The drivers your north looks for is always nice to have a little bit different here and that they go uphill and downhill and downhill to frustrate away. Up till the back straightaway but this year something completely different. The interest of the pit lane which used to be at turn four is now about three quarters of the way up the back straightaway before they reach. Turn three and already this week some of the drivers had a hard time remembering the slowdown and make that entrance of the Atlanta Darren can. Hundreds of turnovers great wolf bodily action as the cars come offer new and up. That's very clear this afternoon. Now the one to go signal is being given by oil board two were about six tenths of a mile away. From the start Winston Kelley and now I think it's an IMAX when they're not getting any news any power. Chaos left in the car. Is that enough. Our findings freckles lord there's still work he made me actually now on the left rear tire out working in the battery compartment again trying to get the car fired. Suppose you were not familiar. The batteries on a Winston cup race car are inside the left rear wheel well that's why when Winston says are taken off the fire to get to the battery. Woodson hasn't totally lost it that is strictly for this reason easy access to be a battery should there be a problem such as this. But we're set to go racing and apparently without Dick Trickle scar green flag dropped a fly here in north books from. Come down to the lime green flag goes in the area and we are under way. On down the inside Jeff Gordon on the outside the Red Line they say that way as they get through the corner nobody pulling out to make a move there of the backstretch. Jordan gets a better matter but for now Brett but not gonna try to get affordable long side he does about quote god has the better at his car out of rock here's Gordon. For Jeff Gordon works Ian sign here comes Rick to be outside for a full time movie my number one here do you think we. Going back to her warning remote not a from the outside lane Jeff Gordon trying to get a wild up down love what I'm sort of off Brad Ball close off the light of all the way to. Think back to turn three and Gordon in second back on its. Verdict on the hard court that. Now the front six are single file as Dick Trickle goes down. Feel he will be able to start but he will be a lap down on the beginning. Meanwhile the battle fleet back in three putt. Six cars single file for side by side battle for seven Jody could check out this Saturday. Burn through a debit checks have a tough weekend his car was bruised up here in qualifying and practice on Friday. But he's got good. Himself prepared he's moving well I don't know downhill towards turn 10 running threat or not showing the light Jeff Gordon not let me get it too far off but they are getting a little bit of distance between himself. And the third place battle thanks Derrick open Dale Earnhardt all over there. The inside group is the place to be much as it is about half the with a cup tracks we go to already Bobby Hamilton contestant had to get caught an outside line and only lost about four spots here's the battle with. For the third out turnover too it's a good one. Our hearts go to work on Derrek helped bury him the spot going into the turn and focused on the backs right away. We'll let it run here's our economy. Jericho inside groups still the preferable way around Earnhardt client issues hashed third place in the downhill cold plastic why it is. I want. The door the next time line like speed and they'll try to make a similar move putter aren't still there as a public can't believe in what now. Up products Jeff Gordon he's not gonna go to. Give a call to Jeff Gordon on the start a moment ago when rip when I took leeway going off in turn one Jeff could have. Crowded in there and possibly felt a little that maybe gotten. Run around free and accidents then you wisely backed out of the throttle. He's got plenty of time he's got 400 laps to get it done here this definitely dropped back and for the moment rental financially. Theory comes up turnover for but Jeff is putting the heat on keeping Roddick inseparable for almost just a couple feet off takes a look at the inside as a go to turn one. He's got a position down the bottom of the racetrack lets see if you can get relief. On the other sideline him for a vote on a struggling trying to hang on the outside lane he well for the time being but again. Brett goes wide at turn three. But coming back to the strike began record time shows that when things we are brats getting off the look corners are far better than Jeff Gordon right now. Having come off Vernon new for the let codeine can support it welled up the outside lane and meanwhile Earnhardt dropped back a bit now here's court technical lead from. Friend Jeff Gordon as leader of rental I'm right second third is Dale Earnhardt pyrrhic coax it back their fourth fifth right now is lake speed in six places Mark Martin. Joseph and it would take a ride seventh bombing have a we'll lose weight and that's where the battles going on back there from eight on their out of turn. To gamble is trying to hold his ground right behind in this backup double wide wanted to take it away part of Rusty Wallace is caught up at ten plus great. Baring gown barely escaping. My dad hit single file now all the way back to tie vote not running and 24 spot. He'll work to be inside of Bill Elliott who can't get back in line. And the time may open confidence in my group for his brother just hold on they're battling it putting forth the 25 also a battle shaping up for the fifth position as Mark Martin is trying to chase down my street. Closer to the front of the field dale earnhardt's beginning. Turn up the heat a little bit on the Red Line. Maybe have thoughts of taking away that second spot they're back in three you'll fall back wanna go single file to enter turn three all these cars dropping out and outside my. Guard we have front twelve laps already all under green Europe and north won't tomorrow's speedway at this may 400 lap event. Around the racetrack debentures point 625. Miles of that. 250 miles for this 400 laps this afternoon. The leader is Geoff Gordon he has now led at least one lap and every single NASCAR Winston cup race this year. Second his record tying third Dale Earnhardt trying to grab a piece of second a began. For the last couple laps. Fresh load on struggling teammates want to thank both the downside so far in the white its gonna work as a Jeff Gordon has now begun to pull away from second place. He has gotten himself to the start finish line with a lead of one and six tenths seconds over Baylor in order run second. Top vote not to regret what I'm running a third spot Derrick cope who's now where Martin Martin. Fifth spot one thing we talk about horny before we go much further hearings like this is a totally redesigned racetrack. If so far is that there are now in the pit stalls for everybody here activate that. Do change their pets and actually begin between turns three important on the entrance to pit road is in the middle of the back straight away. Yet pull off down the the racetrack just about the time you're halfway up that backstretch available widely on the start a moment ago. Pull the pace car pass an opening and was sitting out there when the field came by at the back up that they came down fifty greens get in there we've seen quite a few drivers and qualifying in the same place that. Takes some getting used to. It takes what about 48 seconds I understand the drive through there 35 mile. Without stopping the time we go into the pits. The time you come back out and turner who want to take you. 48 seconds assuming you didn't make this stuff so it's gonna change the complexity here but he says it take at least two and a half maybe three laps if you have pit under green you can lose that much time. I'm actually actually you're ripped off a really good pit stop to it could be three and a half laps or more hours asking Barry Johnson. The crew chief for Kyle Petty yesterday whether that 282. Run at 35 miles an hour but pit road speed. It's going to force you to stay out when you really might wanna make a pit stop does that change your strategy. Strategy changes every two laps and demand don't. Avatars are following home. CNN Larry I'm I'm below you'll soon be Glavine again Robert. And now Latvia and fifteen laps you know its stand out. Good maybe evidence in the cautioned that ball. Typically the last group for years there's things don't green and only talk about the bowling game not merely designed we don't ordinarily there's cars strategy. I'm so right now you see a lot of cars that many get tired and everything in your lap or just an important. Even though you might lose relapsed while doing it. Well ending on June handling is horrible way loves. That's the other factor here even if you stay out it could just be the worst situation because tires aren't falling off and as soon as 25 or thirty laps. Certainly my lap fifty most of the feel they've got to make a stop and don't even check Rusty Wallace went over seven fits on the backstretch. You got my size for a while that may. The finals tonight down and butter Rusty Wallace would Wallace is not done yet here I come. Start working good at the bottom of the racetrack Joes have trouble keeping that car down there almost its second laps under green this afternoon and wants to make the move. Move up one notch meanwhile the front of the field Jeff Gordon has talked detailing the field the first car you can't put a lap down. Will be Mike Wallace says he dives underneath him going off indiscernible one Gordon has an advantage now better than the second half on Dale Earnhardt who is in the number two position. Reminds fallen way back to third quarter hysterical and fifth with mark mark for the battled back. Road between those fun. Hard to know look at action going on. We don't get Rusty Wallace. The final hold off the record fast hardball. But life here and as helpful as well Ricky Rudd runs and ten Ted musgrave elevenths reader is twelve now what leaks feet thirteen SP. You can rest of its fourteen weren't turned fifteen his brother Jeff Burton finished sixteenth at Sterling Marlin seventeenth hole single file coming off turn over to Canada. Anyway back anything now look I'll take art Darrell Waltrip won. They're very great topic Turkoglu started disgraceful level now do what we. Pit road with the ignition problem moment bill has begun to move up through. Coming up to pull out just get himself back into contention with the killing one final verdict down their own fans well let's get the word stunning when guys. Did you eventually. Cars starting. Firewire phone any luck. How does this morning thank god everything that's happening laughter. The sixty then sixty to 65 the most common that Darrell Waltrip did tell us tongue in cheek we can go and any. Well thank goodness mass that we got that far. Well in 1971. And in 1992. We had a caution free race here at north books borrow it won't happen today Joseph Moore. Ward Burton had the problems all start to his Chevrolet spun around and look for the little racetrack and ended up. What athlete you can't fix the thin client that he was able to refile the car drive off but now everyone has taken that road now that the plane only about three cars available racetrack that are left now let's go to the gym Philip. Some Jeff Gordon is in the right side tires aren't playing Munich gallon gasoline is they don't have agendas in Jericho within Rusty Wallace Dale Earnhardt is dead. Greg Craig or Morgan Shepherd it was a lot of time almost collide when Norton and goes right. Well yeah there you Rhode.

Well there were a little bit behind Eli they come in awfully late that it won't lose a lap on the big plays or comes in gets those left side tires. On this time and looking good to Jeff Gordon's tires that came off his car. Almost. Completely worn out on the left side anyway. A lot of other has to do of course distracted pretty abrasive it has been awhile since north will grow has been paved. But a lot of it too has to do with a chassis how you're set up here how good the car is how hard you running off into the corner you're gonna see some teams as usual at north Wilkes pearl they get. Pretty good mileage on the tires and others are gonna have to be coming in over forty or fifty laps. Otherwise you're way behind so it all depends on chassis setup Jim I've there was a lot of guessing going on here as to what I hear the bullet holes sort of they also understand. Back regarding the fifth right back. Plus get forward by stay in the race for your notably when those cars again lap. Good fifteen laps that's most important. So this wake you. Go back to Laura the root beer and you're running down soft fed up five sought a lot of these cars I can't believe. That at least one car in the field today flooding 175 pounds ringing in the reared his automobile with a rating of 160 that it assault were Winston cup race car.

Doesn't appear to be too much damaged his car. It's an enemy. Check the towel and 1 o'clock Pacific staying properly problem. Burning rubber and Atlanta where it's hard to try to improve the handling of the car they didn't get it in and time and I believe they lost a lap during that exchange.

Mike Wallace is a group continues to work going to score and I got a feeling confident he's guys are still looking for somebody to get in there replaced Kyle you could tell that style is very tired you. Hillary had the flu just kind of hang dog out there. Let's go back and fifths. But mine is. And trying to keep his. There's such as soon as we turn out. Warm race car for the rest of the around the racetrack back field crowd ready let's bring up to speed on some of the news of this weekend this morning. Jimmy means announced that he was shutting down his racing operation gate to see that in one regard for the same time we say hello hi. World champions qualified for me the races this year. Many of the drivers carry ran very. Read the trying to get the car and Randy MacDonald the Canadian driver this weekend. But one more step in her life has hired Jimmy reattach the team manager. Pat but more engineering and the picture scene that's a great opportunity now for Jimmy to show what he can do with a good. Race car that has. Solid financial backing. Nothing can work out well but tough. About it this thing we're looking at doing something like that in recent weeks and but since you don't get anonymously you know but more is that puts on a little more time to myself. They also meet somebody you barely can manage things shop while Griffin racetrack sometimes take workflow off all the guys give you do a good job for. But you're independent operator you learn how thing. More so if you do just about everything I doubt there's anything on race car involved with the Jimmy hasn't done. Good point you know you doctors say all but horrors we did say earlier in the broadcast that should be done what we've celebrated his 71 birthday in the garage area today and I ask them. What kind of changes you see in this business and she came in back in the middle to late forties original. I think the biggest changes things day to day and the weight that fast guy and got these. All grouped together and I had to get the real votes they feel. I hate it here today you could. You had back and do that you could work well like today and get good can't do they heroic Billups again you know. He also ran well it got real close. Everybody did a really good jab and then it gets real job right they. How do you get along with the young swimmers numbers like bud Moore. That that I'm.

Felix and I'm like you know my job I think they're doing now walking very business like come behind the road for the Kyle Petty experience. Definitely caution flag here in America somehow singer Kylie I'm sure he's still on the lead lap last time a little there's about the twelfth position I believe very much. Yeah it's. Don't wanna lose. He stopped when really the driver change we lose an awful lot of time and certainly taken out of me it's the top ten finishes this afternoon. Kelly we'll stay on top of that let us know when they went through Tyler out of the car 266. Laps on the scoreboard here. And Jeff Gordon. Right now very heavy traffic here at the start finish line just behind Bill Elliott and directly hit about seven rate more cars he dives underneath Elliott. Q do we have to work a lot of traffic. You're going to want to wind down underneath him. Players embattled. I love my everything starts right wing. Yes some of those cars racing among themselves here in the first you get 400 in north okay North Carolina the leaders still working traffic Jeff Gordon. It challenged of late night Dale Earnhardt and Mark Martin and get their oldest most concerned about picking their way around traffic. This sorry stretcher from the infield care center. Heading up towards where Winston Kelley you're standing Winston have a feeling proud ready certain working for the goodies headache right now you could. A qualified for the we're going to have other honors here today at 1000 dollars or goals will have his feet I assume that stretch were telling your direction and there. Remember how many if there. See that a lot of the sport of auto racing a lot of time. Teams are flailing in the health a lot of times. We can't there's already shoot each other after race bumping and banging on the racetrack for somebody had a little problem whatever they can jump in hell they'll do. Today Allen West Virginia crown here following the exploits of Bobby look Bobby Steve. We really haven't talked about his medical condition after the have broken shoulder blade and a couple of weeks ago at Darlington. The relief felt we needed last weekend from David Reid at Bristol that really has been a story that was a non story all weekend here what place I am extremely hard saying it was. The driver real. For the quarter like though. Better indication. It can't dedicate any and anything otherwise. People sitting in eleventh position right now have a good solid run here this afternoon. Kyle Petty in danger of going a lap down right now as a leader is just thought you won't return her. Three Jeff Gordon pulls in behind Kyle he's trying to keep him back there you can stay on the tea. He didn't make the driver can easily come up with a good finish. Jeff Gordon has to go away hi down unchartered waters Powell ran in behind John and really there for second homes pumping there's. Gordon now taken out sideline trying to get line I'll look I'll stay. And it hurt me so again Jordan basketball back. Short barrels down on John Andretti and well my car's going to go two laps down whatever super run going earlier in the day. Now there are a couple of laps down or not to be laughed giving him. Here's Jeff Gordon got an outside of John and dreading these cars directly behind Kyle Petty both those large capital. Jeff Cohen why they thought Clinton on the third floor yeah. Aren't just kind of played. Cagey right now he had lots a couple of times shoving that car there to maybe try to get underneath Jeff Gordon there was off. The whole time for Cuban he's playing a little conservative right now they're back to turn three like it was fun. All of Jeff for the time being because there is an. Still working on the power credit card and Jeff Gordon. Now from the garage area we are told that. The mining machine I have a minor sport for Mike Wallace will not be able to be repaired so this day is. God we are told from the garage that means that when Kyle Petty come down pit road. One would assume that we'll be seeing a driver change there would be no chance of Mike Wallace coming back to his own thoughts on home ground here today let's go down that road now where. We're stopping running your waiting time. I'm tired. Ricky Rudd was last pit on lap one night where we are. Ford junior rebuild the outcast. Ball Rick you run and. And change for the lead up and turned three Dale Earnhardt made the move going up the backstretch got underneath Jeff Gordon now Earnhardt is back in front door and drops back to second Mark Martin is there to make it. A three way battle as they go over it turns one and two ahead of the backstretch those cars those details coming up on Greg Sachs. Detract from family. The leaders now as the winner slave because they cannot turn. Boy they're probably is gonna exhaling now is again being that I mean they really only one card now today there's still 35 to. I don't think finally work free of traffic a chance maybe next hale 55 Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon. I'm Mark Martin Dave Marcus has been on pit road here at the last moment Ward Burton is in for service this Iraq Jew behind me want to. Under many circumstances you say everything go the distance. The tire Wear being water is your okay you don't like real people are going underneath laboratories Carol Walters and earlier hit a good. He wanted to be awfully slow I think you can get around. Morgan Shepherd working well he's a couple. Three laps down now but these cars one of the quicker ones out there now we're Brothers who would do over the years apparently. Are cheering this racetrack. Credit but Morgan lost laps early so he used. Running well but not with the leaders of the 104 laps conclusion here in north looks for a North Carolina. Watch Dale Earnhardt broke free from trafficking manages to pull away now might nearly three and a half seconds off the battle between Jeff Gordon and Martin Martin. We're actually Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon has faced propositions for second and third from the north what's wrong speed rail business and Bahrain. Radio the Daytona 500. It's the race that defines legends and as the world's only motor sports stadium Daytona International Speedway is the place that we defines what a race to me. You can experience at all. And witness the next career defining NASCAR moment. At the great American race but hurry the 2016. Race sold out so don't miss out in 2017. The Daytona 500 Sunday February 26 guaranteed your seats at 1800 pet shop for Daytona 500. Bringing you live coverage of the first union 400 this afternoon from. The north looks Carlos speedway here at North Carolina alongside Courtney hall on Eli Bolton told weren't covering the action returns with Jim Phillips Winston Kelley and investment got on the road in the garage area. To want to pay you ten seconds now lets you manage that Dale Earnhardt enjoys hot Mark Martin who runs in the second Jeff Gordon goes in third and we're Atlanta 30 want to. Here's my feet nine laps. Usually has a record time Rick imagine making their stops back good road. I disastrous snapper Dale Jarrett hopes of winning they have probably. Air rage on the left rear park the car he's. Might have lost his chance to stay on the lead lap once the leaders all cycled through the pit lane he's going downhill plane now going back home racetrack lost a lot of time. But Jim Phillips because the wind blows toward the border near eagle tires we got here. Back on the right track game in Atlanta radio to marijuana. Also he came in Atlanta to 99 I believe John Andretti pitted up there along with a terrible line 304 left her on board here's Bill Elliott. The red. All right. Trust me away laughter winding down now 30 my we're in the final 100 segment here this afternoon lists V. Hard to lose it wouldn't I have no idea I mean it's clear we were the dominant cars certainly Baylor heart Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin have been found. The same time we never know where things like. New revenue armored today he handles public relations Kerry money team talk around the world war. Even worse feelings everywhere army have a final run thus far this season and we're talking about rain before. Fills me. The Hendrick Motorsports operation we're getting very good. Greater basically you Randy Jordan if you really good work aren't finding it hard but the Bobby why. The speed of the rest of the car over the last year from this racing you're going to today ran before. I'm 61 top ten. Born there but for the big headlined Durbin talked Hendrick Motorsports has been. Name the brand New York loser here. Ted Williams 31 races. Four other wins by Chevrolet should strike teams that weren't built prior review your power plant fence and back to accomplish that this. Really isn't that they're somebody gas in this business and unsung heroes like that back to the shop to do a lot of work to make these cars as successful as the other thing that's different development but without them. Success they have without Randy Jordan if you in this business more pit stops in right now here's Jeff Gordon bringing his card now. What we don't Rusty Wallace was it. The video right. More than they had a one iron off. Jeff Gordon and really that was really not okay more often dominate on my. The Marines while they drink third game coming down pit lane though later. Morgan and I'm really okay. I draw the Norton I'm eighteen. Martin Marcus go ahead. Putting on my side here. The work continues with a large part of Iraq on the great white north laughed Murray never paid. So everything now cycling around on the green flag pit stops good leaders are going across. Sterling Marlin then he would credit to Ted musgrave and he is now on pit road Bobby Hamilton is in for service hotline number 350. So. There is a strange that sounds over the easily pick. They completely different route back a couple hundred yards and Kyle Petty right now as a leader that you cycle back around to Dale Earnhardt. Rent on time Rick mast and then the the rest of the realistic continuous cycle around the company's car right now things are. The race winner of that sound weird but nobody's leaving the guys who lead her turn one to the middle of the back straightaway that they were talking down the road. Changing hands are quick look. That's not a fan of her announcer save many many years ago and racing the leader has just gone eleven that. We can look that up. Really have a hole in one British masters weekend at Augusta. If you really had a hole look when playing golf yesterday errors and dissident wiggle room I'll probably never know what you're all okay really. Tireless better I got up there make so many of the ball over and also the civilian homes once I don't know whether you know whether they put it you know probably never know. We got there hasn't lost. I don't know what most do their very capable of pulling something like that 370 laps or on the boardwalk itself Jeff Levine makes is Michael Waltrip. Just stop and these are scheduled stops lets chicken now investment. They turned me anymore. Another driver we haven't talked much about this early march he's having a good run here this afternoon. Thorough belief that most would say they've had some good pit stops he currently being shown in tenth position so we don't win that's when anybody's guess right now. The green flag pit stop now for Kyle Petty of economic driver change what's it. I'm Robert. The lending again. And Mike Wallace and. Outfit even posted at twelve position one lap down and it obviously he's gonna lose at least a couple of his pit stop but Thailand like. Stay with cars for the tough day forum here this afternoon. 329. Laps are in the record books in the first few 400 Dale Earnhardt is a leader Bernhard has been one of the cars. You saved from the pack Paul played Jeff Gordon certainly about movement as we said it's very difficult right now the weather spread out around here. Different leaders that we had really pick out cards like this is hard to win this thing. I remember you know it just weren't very very strong his crew chief Ray Emery Hamilton leading the western auto mechanics of the season awards have. Same this week they're working there work related and all expect to win the push poll earlier this week give it back hardship for. Tony Glover crew chief for Sterling Marlin talked to him much this weekend they thought they got a pretty good run here told me your second in the western auto mechanic who received an award show. A lot of hard work going on there. Rick Matthews got so bad luck this year and Ottawa's heavy weapons activities here there's no sort of trouble here today and here's one and only. I am for the still believe we'll find out more hardware mentioned. They're all battling tonight we'll be fine. Warn you this season that we're not hoping your original but people got relief and most points as the years go watching this season. It's amazing to watch those thick reference to the pensions. Mailing tee box from which they found. So one of those things now have a little RCA. Direct broadcast satellite good. Singles it's in the company of America we know about us now able to tune in to ESPN. We're remembering wrong. Right here on pit road they can put that RCA direct broadcast system bishop did you see advertised around the country. That they're now those are rolling into. I'm wearing the we'll watch the race and we really can't see much rougher road to actually see where the sport who's going. Well the technology just keeps changing and changing new things keep coming in we can't we can like you said. If anybody has any idea what's the door the next five years. Kyle Petty was back on pit road just a moment ago he was off the pace a little bit going out turned to enjoy more hitting a chord you. Coming chairman John. And Redding got some of battling. Retaining wall. 35 laps on the board Dale Earnhardt continues to lead Jeff Gordon pretty good gap between those two right now so you wind around this racetrack. Has it Thailand. He's been consistent winner here all wheel where you can statistics even earlier than good track for him over the years. Right now moving in behind Jennings later overturned two. No look the plane coming down back right away and Earnhardt wanted to on the reared back and getting trader. 09 car. Plays hard court. Apparently a lengthy pit stop going on for Greg Sachs he made the stop. There seemed out of those over about a minute minute and a half ago the cars and come back again. You were down enough life you know war then right now little discussion going on. Then the NASCAR official. Get back up right now what's wrong. Read his spin man. He's been arm for thirteen laps now what should translates to about five minutes ago it was a bit lesson that was not a carte on the road and do what this pit road being what it is our fellows down there really haven't heard from the car and applicable Pontiac. Is coming down via pit road having revenue reduce speed let's go back to the tracks we. That's not drag in the car that's one. Who would take the machine back into the garage dragon now they are now down behind this wall being looked after by the crew apparently. The you've got the break. He's being look at now why is through the Dale Earnhardt lead to north books for a North Carolina the battle for second place that can't be on the backstretch and Jeff Gordon a lot. And Mark Martin trying to. And white and Gordon can go anywhere there's the slower love holding him. Market for just a second here in the front straightaway got underneath him going off and turn over 100 Jeff pitched it down a little bit. Keeping back there this time Jeff protects the inside. Marquardt who live high underneath billowing up and turn three can't make it. And Mark Martin who follow the tire tracks. But now we. Clearing that car. The battle's not over there about four lap traffic. Finally had to deal with all of this is about eight seconds now behind the race leader Dale Earnhardt we gave me the cars on the lead lap and a few moments ago. Since then Darrell Waltrip have been. Final race leader and now only eight cars are on the lead lap Darrell Waltrip in life is a lap down. Running in the tenth spot you got from Ted musgrave Carl Levin is Dale Jarrett what Bobby look Bobby. Everybody is thirteen Kennedy Krieger fourteen Bobby Hamilton. The 1516. This junk quote I'm John Andretti your seventy feet cheapest Morgan Shepherd Jeff Burton nineteen and Robert freshly ground to. Twentieth when he first is Michael Waltrip top vote on August 22 23 two children Jack. Putting forward this Bill Elliott 25 regulatory. 26 we're doing so we'll check him Jimmy Spencer 47 Kyle Petty twentieth Derek Cole tonight at the real reward for. 31 district and run a surprising seven laps back right now that you've got 32 place Greg Sachs is hard on today. 33 as Dick Trickle 34 it was Ricky craven 35 day mark is okay. Mass graves movie for Mike Wallace car he's in 36 position. We have heard this thing today only three caution wax. The average speed is 101 point eight. 092 miles an hour from six miles an hour off the track record pace this mid race up big rock do you buy sports image what you want but Dale Earnhardt everywhere here. You like some supplier of Dale Earnhardt. GM Goodrich server sent Chevrolet and racing apparel including the Baylor heart it's time championship shirts caps and jackets. If you like Torre called free brochure worry free brochure and check call toll free. What a hundred rewards. 76. You in the eighth place car on pit road in front of Jim Phillips. Lows aren't. I thought I ever changing all bored tired magnificent example. Available at Arlington. Did you get out I have some of the guys get to slam bang memorial that is the right out of the way he. Well red road guys would stop for him as he gets back on its feet away and we certainly didn't call rich man's war. You say it's a much bandwidth for you last year and this year he's being shown up there in fourth place right now I believe was to Kelly is in that you can have. Their last game. Right now we're. Land right now. Bryant maybe you. Jim I got a feeling just that's the kind of cancel what's on the front runners do with the it would dictate what everybody else does I'm sure. Well I think look no way Abraham like recchi for Jeff Gordon says about the situation. I'm not all the bill while wearing them. He's got green and. Know that they're doing. And they got on the car. Right now Gordon that second place they did not plan on heading. According to one Dale Earnhardt what they do. Looks like three cars according to ray there may try to stay out go the distance Dale Earnhardt Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon. Your Sears second place I thought process right now. I didn't want ten seconds behind them the race leader we also see how many stretcher now Greg Shaq juicy about it without us. Arriving soon. Sure the army use technology a couple of fans who were right there wave to them. That's not a stretch your reasoning for the infield care center how to report. Sure he gave the race card and breaks we. Feel medical crew Darrell Waltrip makes it's not a lot of 300. Going to be if this thing obviously some drivers are having others say they'll stay out others who don't quite know what they were going to do you have. Gloria. Worst Dale Earnhardt yeah. I'm only 35 laughter. Just circumstances can win this race for the team here the sale. Just as easily as you can working driving hard all day very easy Rick masters in right now before played Scarlett cover his style. In the right flat and avail. Heavily involved in the body was told Allen vests worn tires and gas flame the intersection and they got into the way down to. I'm glad 354. Got his worn tires he was out on the racetrack. Stay largest motoring away behind us also tell nobody has been and I'm. Why would you stop. Markets are stopping lap 367. But a good day for Michael Waltrip unfortunately actually the last chance for the races today happening then. All that good strong Michael was Mormon from eighth to fifteenth and point to the last three races he's willing to. When he appeared today hopefully might be able to salvage a bit better run maverick he is five laps down back to pit road. Then that Dale Earnhardt did anything really handed notice now know why. They're home. I'm I'm like hey man I rely on them I don't pray love Martin. Don't let them know their wallet. I don't know what my. That's right now we're learning it. Other guys and edit their drive and let let them go helping Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon. Just 23 laps remaining here in the first union 400 Dale Earnhardt still running a strong enough pace and by comparison with the teams who have just now pitted. They're running about a half second a lap. Quicker than Dale Earnhardt but obviously with a 23 laps remaining and clearly enough. Barring a problem for the race we hear we're those cars are fresh tires to catch up let's go back to Jim Phillips. They look at me when you're not okay. And me. Regulation then a little right probably. I'm not tonight night. My mom and I. I get my mind numbing. Car around here. White against him down. Now the dollar here at the war. Western auto. We're seeing a little contact remain on the racetrack among several drivers came in and made those pit stops and got fresh rubber all of their couple laps or three laps behind. Cars and these Campbell is out there we see them get tablet. Feel more you can get. Plus an end here and there chances but we got to play. Bad right now only five cars on the lead lap Steve Grissom and running in traffic and the leader of a point receivers they have every week we're very quietly because speaks he was out of trouble relaxing and what got me running it since samaritan. Position avenues open super rub here read this afternoon naps are great news about young driver do you mean. Literally we talked about. He literally is coach. Join the race my buddy Parrott very much like what he did on the radio watch you while watching more than you can crew chief. Reached out a lot of times a two way radio he is a full time. Coach for a young driver Diane we risk this can say enough about everybody harassment that came to the nomination. Nobody went over there Steve Crist was one of those guys talk about when used in cushion you don't talk a lot of quality feedback about. Wakefield the 48 hole facilities at the top five just what kind of driver. Separation now between first and second it's a big little chance. Think comedies coming down pit road corny and artist talking amongst ourselves here my car has really slowed down. Man we've documented so much out okay. Just not been feeling well today I don't know now this is driver related to slowing down or mechanical problems that are fortunately cars slowed down and I was not brought his machine and it looks mostly driver related situation because. We have a couple of crew members but also achieve over Felix why it's so hot over the wall they're reaching for the driver apartment window looks good. Tim long one of the. Realize how. Car a lot of times you get out of the to get out there and get rid of the driving much like Kyle is used to doing every weekend. They feel like you need to get out of the race card you can see as we talk about. Not for about half of the race very sick young man here I don't look for speedway with a thirteen laps to go in the first few 400. Dale earnhardt's continues to leave around here still think. As we count continues to grow we've got the clock on evidence to take a while Jeff Gordon comes by hearing coming out of turn and report back was straight. Twelve and a half seconds now so like Dale Earnhardt started that way significantly here this racetrack which get around battling team's second so. We talk so second shy of a hole laughter. We took this flu was going around Tony Gibson I'm thinking about hospital baby record cheaper. The Bill Elliott fifty the McDonald's Ford knew he would not feeling well they have taken away. It was feel like symptoms again but I've just been going around this garage area here this western weaker showing. Tough job out there were your ripped a drive a race car working on a little time left. The goal mouth and Taylor are becoming the straight man matters now gone off the return of the one. They and we haven't seen it read accommodate good to this extent of the wildly when consistently. That's the first earthquake companies should receive from where they look first first win of the season. He's awfully you don't short track they find accommodation may be that he's moving up to Martinsville a couple of weeks and they've been really tough out there but let's not even the ratio to ten laps to go as we know a lot of things can happen but he has big. Big advantage right now. The second place car Jeff Gordon hasn't crossed the line looking back receiver Mark Martin is. Who lives in emergency help close Sears would include back he has closed in on Jeff portable until he was way back and now Joseph Moore. And that there's just a couple car lengths behind Jeff Gordon. Can't markets closed then and now we're gonna Arlington coming into third bringing tennis fans. Escalated Jeff Gordon. You don't follow Gordon's tire tracks down here would turn number woman gonna feel about traffic now yeah. Bobby Hamilton Dale Jarrett and Michael Waltrip overhead of that second place I'm Jeff Gordon. Placed our heads down and explain away why now comes out of the throttle. Our car actually on my car. Fun and win but we still offer foreign. And look I'm Marc Marc that's where Rusty Wallace the fourth place machine ride the rusty so far back it's not likely that he would really be a need for third place car before we get them finished here this afternoon. 393. Laps local school board as we go back turn three. One large car started to slow maybe the south of Ameritech Jeff Gordon may have just about used the fire truck because cars break. Slower now think. Towards the end of this race it's thirteen seconds we have managed now for Dale Earnhardt over Jeff Gordon they're still live timing. The Kyle Petty got on pit road may have want a stretcher now how over the wall onto pit road where they've medical rule could. Continued their attention. Mikael use not feeling well overcome breakevens fumes or what have you. I would only six laps to go they love you should not make that driver change we talked about earlier they'll run every time we do so they're attention now Americans. Sure right we want Kyle Petty. Jeff Gordon coming out of turn number two running second spot Baylor parts on a rail right now we're all. Sailor Mars just going into turn 12. While Phil Gordon is coming off three of four that's how big the gap is Mark Martin put on a challenge we'll take away the number two spot is now really faded back. 396. Laps to a fund scoreboard for her heart. He's out of the rough a little bit right now several cars from passing him outside and inside he has such a big advantage Joseph Moore doesn't make any difference. I think now what we're seeing what I learned. Earnhardt now we're seeing. They're all suffering from a lot of awareness into the race and they all the other leaves everything they position is sudden right over the rest of my. The word that much about it. My wife down towards the end of the race Kyle Petty taking their taking the top IndyCar style isn't the crews taking the car back to the garage area. So I will be a retiree right fair's Carlos being committed to. Your backup for his fifth stall. And actually bringing me. Structured down pit road here with a couple of laps to go off. Dale Earnhardt hasn't won since Rockingham last October I've seen it's often at turn number one of a couple of laps to go. Earnhardt comes along third effort down down down the back. Right away. Florida hard. I'm pushing that issue want. Rest of the fifth place car. Dale Earnhardt out of your report comes down and takes the white flag this victory looks like it's going to be an easy one but I'm sure Earnhardt have other thoughts he's over in turnover to working behind some of the. He's as tough call for everything connected Cadillac. The feeling that he's gonna fly off. First it was consistent scene today it was domination. Dale Earnhardt for the 64 time in his career as wanna NASCAR Winston cup race he'll hang. There's lead atop. Standings it is chase for championship number eight. Jeff Gordon comes home in the second Mark Martin heard Rusty Wallace who. A home in the fourth position now kind of replaced Steve Grissom didn't have ups and that's why we're seeing that precludes celebrate this year. I'll tell you after.

So but it's ends up Dale Earnhardt once he got out front they had cars you heard Richard Childress tell Jim Phillips just a moment ago our car was dialed in just about as good as you can get one year's north Wilkes pearl. And we put that kind of machine under or he's gonna be hard being anywhere. He is going to be hard to beat me at himself a final weekend he took the lead. And let seven different times today for 226.

That's Jeff Gordon after three victories he has a second this afternoon. Good run for me had a car that was very capable of winning but he just. Could not get back up there to catch the corner of the gap was too big after that last round of pit stops. But chicken around last week Mark Martin finished third here this afternoon sitting down in the shade the Unocal station mark tell us about your race. Well as get round for their babbling comments Ford the guys were really fast dumped narrowed today. The car and a dead. Just no match does attitude can't let down really proud of this team leave.

Well he's been that way all your loan Dale Earnhardt wins that north Wilkes girl let's elect out of the garage. We've got to put Rusty Wallace and had another top five finish this afternoon rested a car was extremely strong like a rocket early on. Within mechanic came back to the fielder did the other guys get them much stronger. The car was really good throughout the damn eager recruited a great job no doubt about that that is can get looser as the day went on I probably shouldn't but some wager just sit JS you sound like that. Let's you know NASCAR's opponents aren't careful with our Beck and we charted this disaster make it look let's don't fall off because the blue and drive so. We had a couple bad stuff that most of the neighbor really IndyCar angering those who met with the team and we're gaining points this really needed it after the first part problem we had. The tire Wear was the concern today how about the track conditions they hear into the tires. Now attracts not the best in the world that says being consistent it's been stains like for five years now. And that tires you know I'd they would rather thought you had. That's Rusty Wallace another top five finish was fourth this afternoon let's go back to Allen rushed record with a fifth place finisher Steve Grissom congratulations up your best best finish this year by one. Yeah today Eunice discount a typical day here will spur we started fifteenth and just kept working with a car was. Labatt off front did start and then now they've got our second third pit stop there we got a set of tires we Israel is get in the corner. Would run about 4045 laps on them and not Tobias and who we're we're most give me and then. These will bring him Monte Monte Carlo damn pit road and get some tires are we done that kind of sort stopped it there. And went back out run as far as we possibly could then now. Kind of got a sales flare back on the lead lap and got lucky Carlson come out there we had track position and then on the lead lap then from that point. We've struggled on the wall we hear there to the end. Some look good track position and a good call by the crew chief not a bad drive and either by Steve Grissom gets a home fifth he had himself a fine fine bet the members of the media covering the first unit 400 or given the goodies that make award to Dick Trickle. And I guess that was probably a good nomination in light of the fact of their problems began on a pace slack but never really going to be better the map so ridiculously 1000 dollars from goodies pharmaceuticals.

In the name of Dick Trickle thorny topic you and I drew a vote they re best this break of a race toward gore vote to a 500 dollars from red fastest. To that driver out of a good break or bad break. Lot of guys had bad breaks today but a good break is what I was trying to search for. Well John Andretti ethnic other made a couple of pit stops elementary setup their changed two tires took a gamble a couple of times that brought him from way toward the Taylor the field to keep you up to the top ten of them right at the front of the pack for a long time. That was a good break for him a couple of times with the there were a lot more bad breaks and government but I think they'll vote for a good break for John and. And I'll go about and I thought maybe Rick mast. In light of all the time he voted him the money here because of bad this situation to get a good day today came moments separate but I like the John Andretti situation good news pit strategy. On the part of Tim brewer so 500 dollars from ray bashed us the best and breaks to John Andretti sorely our post race awards coming and the RCA pit strategy award 5000 dollars to the winning crew chief Andy Petrie takes no matter honor here today.
