the peace and serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia is about to be shattered it takes five thousand man-hours about $75,000 to keep one of these cars prepared to come here farms in about two minutes tear it all we worked day and night to make sure these cars run just right we pay attention to everything they have to run slick and look asleep because the fans a sponsor for watching the green flag falls that was the drivers work begins so whenever the sheet metal starts flying to the fender car financing our work begins the madness of Nascars sprays short truck finale is next [Applause] [Music] you ESPN's a world leader in motor sports coverage presents meet world today live from Martinsville Speedway in Virginia the Haines exit where 500 Winston Cup race it's a cloudy Sunday afternoon we have a cool breeze temperature at 68 degrees and there are showers in the area good afternoon everybody I'm Bob Jenkins and welcome to Martinsville Virginia the final spring short track race for the NASCAR Winston Cup cars now before we talk about this race let's explain a little bit about what happened last week at the first Union 400 short track race at North Wilkesboro there was some confusion however there's no doubt about it Brett Bodine driving the Quaker State Buick did win that race at North Wilkesboro now the confusion began late in the race when those that were running up front including the number three car driven by Dale Earnhardt and the 17 car driven by Darrell Waltrip made green flag pit stops that gave the lead to Brett Bodine and then the yellow came out for Kenny Wallace's crashed down in turn one now watch closely on the left as the green car up Bodine will pass by and the pace car instead picks up Dale Earnhardt as the leader NASCAR however quickly corrected their problems and Brett Bodine went on to win his first Winston Cup race as a matter of fact he was able to pull away from Darrell Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt in the closing stages so who might look good today here at this short track race well let's get the answers from Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett gentlemen about there's some new drivers that have learned to mix it up on the short track because we have some new winners this year Davey Allison Mark Martin and Brett Bodine but there's one fella Benny Parsons who has run off the well but he just can't get Victor Lane you got a feel for Jeff botan he has been a dominant art all year on the pole position years have been a Marvel but yet he doesn't have a victory 1990 so more drivers Darrell Waltrip in the 80s 134 short tracks of in they learn are 118 Rusty Wallace won six they've yet to win in 1990 then it looks like we may be sent a change of the guard well those that have the best average so far this year are Mark Martin with the 3o average on the short track Ricky Rudd the 3.3 and Morgan Shepherd with a 6.6 average now folks don't feel sorry for those drivers who haven't won so far because they will be a factor here today but there are some factors that will come into play and more on that here's dr. Jerry punch thank you that you know this fall here today could be this move good year radial tire good your thoughts it's a great job with this tire the cars are specs to be consistently fast all day long as opposed to slowing down with the old bias ply tire this tire will roll very quickly into the corner that could expensive way to problem we've always had here at Martinsville and that is brakes the brake pads may begin to go away so a lot of crew chief said well prevent the brakes from going away we can put more gear in the car the gear in the car will help slow the car down going into the corner more gear means more rpms and that could really punish the motor so you could have used the brakes now you can abuse the motor here the ultimate way to stop it you have to in traffic in Martinsville is this baby right here the front grille and bumper section a lot of these may be used up throughout the afternoon for another area it may be a spoiler today our John Kernan is standing in turn to well Jerry punch turn 2 has been especially tough on a lot of the drivers you see it's pretty bumpy through here and with the radial the tendency is once it starts to lose traction well

moments gentlemen to begin 500 laps of racing on this Sunday afternoon a huge crowd on hand here at Martinsville here comes the field down in the green flag waves were under way it didn't take long for Dale Earnhardt to grab the lead and the crowd here in front of us hood up and cheered as Dale took the lead from Jeff bodean earlier but is running in third position of a number four Kodak film Oldsmobile quite a move by Bill earn our class assorted look Ernie Irvan on the inside of Kota has been in turn four involved Richard Petty and several other cars teddy in the middle of the racetrack for number 43 STP Pontiac bill Sedgwick there number 76 also involved somewhat he's able to drive away however Richard Petty for the moment installed now he begins to pull away in perform on our first caution flag at the evidence lies over Martinsville here's a replay of what happened down in turn number four Richard Petty up in front of the 76 car he's going to come into the picture just a moment in sideways there he is JT Allison just barely gets I Alan Kulwicki Bobby Hillin bill Sedgwick makes a little bit of contact with Richards I really don't think the car is very bad Richard remains on the racetrack however Sedgwick has pulled into the pit area so while we have this first caution period of the afternoon we'll take a break and be right back with more from Martinsville the Ford Thunderbird a perfect car for a nice Sunday Drive you all these championship winning drivers have one thing in common good view Racing Eagles the race winning technology that's found in the goodyear racing eagles can also be found in the world's best-selling line of high performance street tires Goodyear Eagle Street radials but champions know and it's why we sing the best tires in the world at Fukien written all over them a come on way to spend the summer light and put Fried Chicken side twelve taxes you can bring one of a hundred bug whalemen where you buy your favorite beer we're giving away pools a man you need sunscreen you're starting to feel good to feel in the back stretch having just taken the green flag for more racing here at Martinsville Dale Earnhardt leaves Jeff Bodine and Ernie Irvan and Mark Martin driven once again look for the in finest Geoff Bodine he was trying to take that second spot away before we had our first caution of the afternoon and now he tries again now that we're back under racing condition and it looks like he may be able to do so successfully Davey Allison is in the pits with a brake problem that accounted for the fact that Richard Petty's bug down at turn number four because Allison was running right behind Richard Petty battle for second position Ernie urban on the inside and Brett Bodine rather Jeff Bodine on the outside and urban it says hard just a little bit past that he takes second position we're definitely I'm hung up there for pretty involved off the inside groove here's preferred line partisan well you fast as you can hear from your favorite race come up with assistance towards one system all you have to do is dial one 902 two six one thousand you can hear from Bill Elliott Rusty Wallace neighbor they answer the question as we watch your most memorable moment in auto racing and they have some great answers one 902 two six one thousand calls are one dollar and ninety five cents for the first minute the dollar for each subsequent minute and kids please get your permission before dialing and another spin down off the corner number for that is Jeff Purvis in car number 12 he has been named as the replacement driver for Mike Alexander well that 900 number is we indicated to you is being developed Finley because you plans have been calling and writing to it and wanting to know if there was a way in which you can hear from your favorite driver and get a little bit of insight on what they're like personally rather than when they're on the racetrack so that's a reason we've come up with this 900 number that we think you're going to enjoy second caution of the day it'll be one lap to go Bob he's a very short caution for spin first I Ricker Katie this time by Jeff first first now let's go down to John Kernan Davey Allison spin the bikinis on Davey Allison sport Robert Yates and the crew kind of shaking their head where they brought it any lost brakes on the front end and working on the front brake line trying to get that fixed and they've also been checking the toe-in and toe-out he does have some of that familiar blue paint down the side so you can see where he tangled with Richard Petty and Davey just turned the steering wheel apparently there is a problem in the steering uh because he shook his head and discussed their putting the hook down and he has not refires the car now he's trying to so it looks like Davey's going to back out to be afraid just about to go back to Green John from our second caution flag here is the green flag flying back to racing on lap number of number 12 Dale Earnhardt still of the end of the field Ernie urban white behind him Geoff Bodine then Mark Martin Brett Bodine Dale Jarrett Darrell Waltrip Morgan Shepherd and the 10 car off Derrick open there is the best battle of the racetrack at the moment that Morgan Shepherd pile the racetrack in number 15 and Darrell Waltrip low trying to do the impossible and that is pass on the outside here at Martinsville great to separate her to fast forward working well up there my cable get warp is coming off turn two he does he moves into seventh position Sterling Marlin goes very slowly down the front stretch Marlin with the problem in that holes will be before he has had some tough luck on these short tracks he has run well most of the time but he's never we've got car going well here in qualified very well he's headed into the pits on the back stretch that's hard to pass Howard so Sterling Marlin will go into his assigned pin on the backstretch after apparently losing power in the Sunoco ultra Beall and pulling in right behind him there you see Jeff Purvis in the number 12 car meanwhile Dale Earnhardt stretches out the advantage a little bit on Ernie Irvan then I'm most impressed at the way these souls are able to run on the outside the day we saw Morgan Shepherd class Darrell Walker's we saw Jeff Bodine hung up on the outside and stay outside Ernie every foot a couple left so the we're gonna see some great races they because the outside group working very very well and it might be that they're running the radial tires here for the very first time and maybe then commits them to run up there in that second Cruz will have to take a run there in the past here's Morgan Shepherd looping on the inside of Dale Garrett and taking over to sixth position Morgan Shepherd and number 15 moves to 6 dropping Jarrett back to seventh position then back there and ain't a good battle between Darrell Waltrip and Gary Koch here is the battle for second spot and Geoff Bodine goes into second passing urban well he made that look easy he just pulled alongside Ernie down the front straightaway took second spot away he passed him a lot easier than Ernie passed gift a few left back he took Ernie about 34 lat raining inside Mark Martin car he's running fourth and an urban bow tie and we are [Music] let's go down to Jerry punch even sterling Marling spin for a second we can roll it up right get off of the car he rolled out the door right was under power at all Steve Lloyd the crew are trying to get the car refire right now they're working on the wiring in the distributor area but a tough break here early for Sterling Marlin Marlon's sits in the pit area as the crew tries to find the problem there are your leaders meanwhile back in the pack here are Kyle Petty and car number 42 and Rusty Wallace in number 27 and they are running in 17th and 18th position at the moment rusty has been inside Kyle a couple times in the last few laps but every time he gets inside it seems like there's a slower car they left Jeff Purvis just a moment ago now panicked if that card keeps rusty behind him rusty with another disappointing qualifying effort started this race in 17th position and has dropped back a spot now was it a t-bob yesterday's practice his car was running very good he felt it to move up through the field that he knows he needs to be patient because you can use up the race car in a hurry here and not have anything left at the end of the race if you aren't careful now back up front we see Jeff bodean mounting a challenge on Dale Earnhardt Bodine is going to go to the outside and turn number two and as they go down the backstretch looks like Bodine yes is going to go into the lead what in the world just drove by Earnhardt I think Earnhardt it looked like he just sort of moved over and yes play me a racing room and during that they moved around for a very brief moment I thought there was something wrong with our heart our becomes equal to the inside and just seemed to what Bodine to go by I'm not sure that there might not be something wrong with the brakes on Earnhardt's car maybe he realizes to stay up there he was using the brakes just a little bit too much he decided to back off because we see Ernie Irvan come on a little bit close to the Dale Earnhardt now Darrell Waltrip ties the match oh and Dale keeps the car off the wall just almost captive but I think he was able to keep the car off the wall I don't think he hid it he'll stay in the lead lap as he hits going if he made the left rear quarter panel for Waltrip got into him going into the turn he was running in seventh position when he was hit from behind by Darrell Waltrip here it is again we see Darrell on the inside trying to get fievel then in turn one Darrell he's don't quite know what's entailed on what to do because he doesn't realize that Darrell Waltrip is as close as he is he comes down hill and make contact around he goes unfortunately afraid we're going to see a lot of that today yeah we frankly will - that's the third caution period so far today and what probably will be many whereas a Hayes activewear 500 in Martinsville Virginia and we'll be right back

ESPN the unocal bonus money is up to $38,000 geoff bodine ineligible for that he was the pole sitter today and he leaves at this point is we are about to go back green from our third caution period of the afternoon near capacity crowd here at Martinsville as they rise to their feet to watch the restart green flag is out Bernard looked like it would move there for a moment on the restart and there's a fan up and turn for Gary Koch Pope in number 10 fins and turn number four I was just about to say that I'm very impressed with Derrick's performance here on the short track will undoubtedly see him running up for the front of the field at Talladega next week on the super speedway but he was doing a fine job here at the short track at Martinsville until that spin and the grandia caution flag is out once again for the fourth time this afternoon Derrick did a good job of beating Jeff Lodi back to the start/finish line staying in the lead lap should be another quick caution this spin but with Derek Koch started up in turns one and two when Ricky Rudd got alongside Derrick and they race down the back straightaway and made just a slight bit of contact going in turn three and around when Derek Bates our hands picked up the field but we're going to go back green next time around Beryl kinder didn't want to go that yellow say he had his hand TC come on Derrick get the car go come on dick move but Dirk went the wrong way and had the backup that's when they decided throw the caution for ricky rudd making a pit stop there he seemed on the far left of your right of your screen rather ricky rudd to the number 5 Levi Garrett Chevrolet in for a pit stop they were concerned that it might push defender against the tire here's a replay of what happened as they went into turn three see Ricky a yellow car down on the inside he and Coke gets together and coke goes spinning around and I don't think he hit the wall either I don't think you did either but Ricky Rudd also had to make a pit stop and make sure that the fender there's Derek coke coming in changing oh they're going to change four tires they better hurry John Kernan is there well Benny it doesn't look like he hit anything but he does have a tire mark right in front of the left rear tire it is a four-tire change he did a good job stave on the leader and yet comes down and away and he will be on the tail end of the lead lap yes indeed he has remained on the lead lap through out that entire situation he'll catch up with the rest of the field now as it comes off the fourth quarter to take the green flag for resumption of racing Jeff Purvis in the number 12 car the only car that has been laughed so far and he is two laps down laughs 32 battle for fourth position find Brett Bodine going to fourth passing Mark Martin he got the help from the slower car affirming the now once again looking to the inside of depo 9 as being the first turn trying to take away the lead but is unable to do so now both I'm able to pull out to about a one car length advantage Barnard really gets going awfully well on the restart side of big pickle milk isn't good start why do you come off the corner and up against the wall we need a moment wow what a great shot only from the outside of your crippled son natesan great shots last year when the counted on Michael Walters sizes all have contact with several other machines out there on the racetrack and there is dick at work the one hand he owned the car will clock he reached down to the gear carefully waver I don't know that's in the great shot look at him work the wheel those at burn three in the middle of corner Mexico turn the other direction comes off the corn pollen in Fred in the Kodiak Chevrolet see the cars bumper-to-bumper all the way at the third place take a look on the inside of Morgan ship and remember does a few laps ago Morgan passed Darryl on the outside there look like you want to try the easy way on the inside let's go to John Kernan who has a comment on Morgan Shepherd Bob Morgan is running great Donnie lingo the crew chief I just talked in a moment because Morgan is saving the brakes right now but all systems are go he was settling in to a nice pace to take the break he's in sixth position at the moment here comes Ken Schrader trying to take over seven spot from Darrell Waltrip teammates battling it out here I don't think there's thing to that right now they're not thinking about being seemly both drivers for the rick hendrick operation perspective on this battle just how hard these drivers drive in the corner and after a lot on the place to stop the automobiles to keep them running in the back of the car in front of them get crippled charging watching again freighter time to make that the creditors you see Bill Walton target on Friday they're trying to make a move on Morgan Shepherd they have closed they're all running together time to jump before position if any when you're running that close together who's using a lot of brakes perhaps more than come on the one person stay to the right I'm here they are the reason we are showing the leader right now focus get going on is how to check that on Earnhardt if he has about a 15 20 car lengths advantage on this and watch the action back for from about for falling back the yellow car that we saw just go by the screen is the third place car of Ernie urban in Schrader just behind Darrell Walbridge we mentioned how they are teammates and earlier the weekend we asked him traitor do you share information with your teammates we don't share much information of some of the things in the engine programs and stuff we've shared back and forth you know a lot of the team says it's hard to keep secrets this mapping here's here's really share it is hard to keep secret from this business for nothing we don't really exchange chests and setups or anything like that stuff you know we want to beat the five or 17 but we don't want to be asked them anymore as we want to beat every other car out there and we might work with them a little more than some other team but there's a lot of not a lot of information ship matter of fact a Henry card in the point standings are six seven and eight Waltrip is six Rudd his seventh and Ken Schrader in eighth position let's go to Jerry punch concerning Dale Earnhardt Jerry while we're standing in the Earnhardt fifth Richard Childress [Music] now we get to go front a little harder and we wanted to this early it's pretty long right it won't turn at many overview the Ehlert aren't really with touring as the driver as the current listen comes one leader he will so save those brakes and be there at the end indeed Earnhardt 57 points ahead of Morgan Shepherd in the Winston Cup point standings as we enter this a trace of the 1990 Winston Cup season the top ten here at Martinsville Virginia in the Haynes active where 500 [Music] what could this off-road vehicle possibly have in common with this off-road vehicle the same quality filter protection you can give your car from pure later the world's largest filter company if some man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he is a different drummer let him step to the music which he here however measured or far away BMW motorcycles worth the obsession the embarrassing miscue the performances that he the unusual antics the plays of the week tonight at 11:00 Eastern on ESPN SportsCenter [Music] back in martinsville where Geoff Bodine and Dale Earnhardt runners first and second before we have some great action back of them here is Morgan Shepherd Ken Schrader and Ernie Irvan battling it out Elvin is caught on the outside line and is losing positions right away the senior self what here's the side Kim look trickles car he just don't realize how 50 outside is I don't think look out the post these cars are as yet to turn to this was the fact straightaway at Martinsville now rusty Wallace's went by Ernie Irvan Ernie just cannot get back three stars working fest on the inside urban dropped back to tenth position now and Rusty Wallace moving up into ninth position from his 17th qualifying position Cody he's on the boots off now Rob Barroso is behind Ernie Irvan who also in the number 20 car the 7d rx4 driven by Alan Kulwicki Russy definitely on the move as he deemed eight spots already and I'd say this is tough plowing here's the group in front of that group and here is darrell waltrip going to the inside and passing mark Parton so now darrell waltrip moves to fourth it's bowtie then Waltrip and Mark Martin afib six plates and Morgan Shepherd 7th is Kenny Schrader's a Miss triples rest of all it's nine-thirty urban camp Alan Kulwicki 11 the battle for quilt bill Killian and Rob Marisa last week's winner Brett Bodine having a good run here this afternoon he started eight at the end of 20 laps he was up to fifth and at the end of 55 laps up to third position darrell waltrip the man who is really honed his Martin filthy blades in the last several years is one more round to get around this racetrack growling maybe a little bit more aggressive in the early part of the race that we know what to see but I guess these car is working that way which allows him to do that and here we are showing you the field once again watch for your favorite car and driver to pass through and you can get an idea of where your driver is running in relationship to the leader here comes Richard Petty off the fourth corner along with Dale Jarrett we'll do it once again we'll just keep this shot here and here comes the leader there is Jeff Bodine near second place Earnhardt for timing this lap ironheart the licky goes on the inside of Ernie Irvan this is time you're seeing his jet flow down the leader in the Budweiser before this is the time that's once they can get around this half mile racetrack at Martinsville here he comes off the fourth quarter and the clock stops at twenty one point six seconds for the leaders Geoff Bodine that's a little less than a second slower than he qualified which is not bad in competition so normally they tighten the car up a little bit for racing they've also kept trying to make a move and he does and indeed darrell waltrip now goes to third position that's prime by the way computes to a speed of eighty seven point six six miles an hour means I'm Morgan Shepherd he crossed go on the inside of Mark Martin and does class the Folger Ford Barton tried to get inside a threat vote on in turn four even trick closed source just before mark up their mortgage ever goes to fifth Artin back to six Rusty Wallace you can see the black car he's alive behind the end of that pack running home to buffer pick triple car number 66 and triple rot on the back bumper in freighter in car number 25 the waleska team is to try to move towards the front as it was so far in 1990 to defending Winston Cup champion now looking him out back of the triple star looking back on new dollars I'd say these are two very very different Dick Trickle Rusty Wallace and Rusty Wallace started rattling around the st. Louis area when the AFA circuits Dick Trickle was a fellow who told him how to drive away how to set up a race car he said Russell wall spent more money on phone calls Dick Trickle he didn't go to hell his races commission and last year arrested was conducting some of the rookie meetings which Dick Trickle was attainable between prickle at night and Rusty Wallace intense back there at 11:00 Alan Kulwicki let's go to Jerry punch with a comment on Rusty Wallace one of the lectures of roughs long likes to get the rookie drivers here in Martinsville is about how to use your brain Rusty's whole drivers time and again you can let that here is I use that brake pedal that's what he's doing now according to Barry doctor's approval year of the car nearly as hard as it could it has ooh he is going to the prize well I guess that's the situation here at Martinsville for the most part you gotta pay the college disappear the lead continues to be held by Jeff bodean car number 11 and he has about a half a straightaway maybe a little bit less than a happen straight away advantage on the second place Dale Earnhardt again here are the top ten at Martinsville Virginia Speedway the hast

Darrell Waltrip is on the move let's say another car is on the move rut we talked about a Mon ago rusty walls we'll get back to in a second folks but he's nothing six pot already we're watching to get there here's why should just close in on the back of Morgan Shepherd up to six from 17 starting the second CFL he has moved around Mark Martin so he really is on the move Wow we talked about the fellas that dominated in the 80s Darrell Waltrip Rusty Wallace Dale Earnhardt folks they're coming to the front they really are they know how to get around their Frank track what it takes to win and Rusty Wallace started 17th was up to 13th at the end of 40 laps and is currently 5th as we have completed 78 he is all over Morgan Shepherd looked like the resi wall of the road so far in Nigeria moves or idle be inside a Morgan Shepherd and takes over fourth position so far in 1990 you know he just hasn't shown the form that he has the last three years but they have been working very hard very dot from the fruits you give me my car Harold I'll get the building over there well then they look tried some experimental stuff and you and I both know that sometimes you can out engineer yourself as far as a race car they've been the dominant car as a handling department because of the whiskey a varied oxygen you make bar over the years last week and for us they tried a different three links set up a free listener area this week I went back to the whole senator could the claim raised talks rearing up mothers go back to the old law trailing arm back to the faces of what they call it and apparently the faces are paying off here for Rusty Wallace steed Rusty Wallace in fourth position now as he closes in on the 21 car of Dale Jarrett Jerry when Darrell Waltrip funding going into turn one came in to change the right-side tires on the sick cohort and change the left side what that has anything to do with it or not I don't know as a new associate sponsor on the 604 today they are electronically employees of Vicksburg Virginia and one of their electronics department staff person spawn from the carcass let's go to John Kernan who's with Jeff Hammond the crew chief for this car yes Darrell is moving through traffic very well is he using up the car dollars and taking it easy well right now he's an owner but I got to use up very much the tires or the brakes and he's pretty smart about doing that you know it'll be that won't really show up then later on his way we've been on it pretty hard early on stay off the brake tires how's the radio for boring so far all the cars really working good looks like the sun's going to pop through so there's a sizable business we've got a pretty good handle on it right now James we feel pretty good so far well we are early on in the race but right now looks like Darrell losses is poised to make a bid for his fourth straight victory at Martin June and look at this battle great battle our third spot here it's Rusty Wallace passing Dale Earnhardt and rusty has boots all the way up to third didn't look like Earnhardt challenged them too much they do the racing room you needed up on the outside here and appear that the truth potato where rusty had come from back into packing moving posted okay let us go I won't use my race car up too much may be amused here's a major restaurant you can see what's up he's gaining on Darryl Waltrip who is one second and Jeff bodean who is leading different very impressive movement toward the front for Rusty Wallace do you have to be more cautious on the track now since your team has been struggling so much in the early part of the 19th season you know I feel bad that we haven't been doing as good as I like to the very first part here but I think that so I sit down I look each individual rate people look at they look at over 12 big single man this thing's going terrible form but there's a reason for everything in Sapa neurs been bad there's been bad luck and three those races that brought me to second two points back to 11 well I got the same through the same people ancient builders for everything we got good tires we got everything we need we got all the surplus we just got to get a little look on our side right now believe me we're down we're not out we're not going to quit and it appears as if the Luck is smiling on Rusty Wallace this afternoon he is in third and closing in rapidly on second place Darrell Waltrip he is definitely game question B Miller Pontiac of Rusty Wallace is running well here's the leader left foot on the Budweiser Ford and jr. Johnson is not here today normally he would be here that a sad situation on Friday night Prince Coughlin who junior and klosty Johnson who reigned really from boyhood just like a child with his own with killed in an automobile accident and certainly our sympathy goes out to juniors Laufey and friends parents and all who are involved there's Jeff Bodine running behind Ernie Irvan now we'll see how close the 17 car is to Jeff there's the second place car of Darrell Waltrip car smoking over in the second quarter is Terry Labonte and there you can see the third place car on the white side of your screen that's Rusty Wallace so there are the intervals and here is Terry Labonte as he pits on the backstretch some smoke is seen from that number one Oldsmobile and Terry Labonte is bring it in for a look-see by the crew the top ten here at the Haynes activewear 500 in Martinsville Virginia we'll be back with more right after these messages stay with in 1909 George Pepperdine founded Western Auto with a mail-order flier for model C parts now Western Auto has become the leader for auto parts and service in America and today Western Auto has joined Winston Cup racing at the official auto parts and service door of NASCAR this week at Western Auto get AC standard or resistor spark plugs for just 88 cents each remember AC plug so just fit lay back now it's official gentlemen and ladies start your engines of Western our father's old gel gives you a super curve shape like the other gel but that's a great Barbasol price your barbers all gels chain Barbizon gel their wonder it appeals to the rich at Ford we know that staying ahead means looking ahead for time the best ever with ideas like the most advanced electronic automatic transmission design procedure shifting and improve gas mileage another reason for drunks keep pulling farther ahead of the pack the best-built best-selling American trucks are built Ford Tough my fig is Benny Parsons that Jarrett dr. Jerry punch and John Kernan packets at Martinsville Virginia where Geoff Bodine in the number 11 but wiser Ford the Haynes activewear 500 running in second position there he is the bright yellow and orange number 17 driven by Darrell Waltrip man closing in rapidly is Rusty Wallace in car number 27 rusty I think probably has a passive conversation I think your ride Bob because he has made up the most room obviously starting brothers back and he's up on the back bumper of Darrell Waltrip and both those cars imposing on Geoff Bodine you know somebody else is showing some real strength here is there an Alan Kulwicki number 7 0 x4 he started 20th through the 16th moved to ninth and currently is in 5th position one of the best runs of the year so far for Alan almost completed one fifth of this event putting a lamp on Richard Katie and his car is working very well down on the inside here export here's Rusty Wallace now bout to kick Darryl welcome battle for second position Walter P you see only about three or four car lengths behind definitely they are closed in on Jeff bodean they went and that looked like they'd be six colleagues going in the corner and look rusty is going to drive up on the outside of Darrell is rusty coming off the fourth quarter isn't going to make an attempt to pass let's see look buddy here we go goes up my in the barrel gave him the room that he needed a fairly fast he'll keep trying he's arrested here there are the first three that's what John Kernan was Tamino when turned to several guys had that little bit of a wiggle and it was more than that fun out during practice qualifying this week not be the best place to try to make that outside man no Brett Bodine was one of those who spun during a practice period look at the traffic ahead of the leader and now we're going to see a real battle here it's going to be who survives the traffic situation Bobby Hillin goes a lap down as bowtie passes him on the inside that's Ricky Rudd Jeff ahem the leader now and the 17 car welcome and the 27 of Rusty Wallace come right along and also past Bobby Hillin and Alpo dine moves to the outside try to pass Ricky Rudd we're pulling alongside and taking second place from Waltrip while I didn't press goodbye rusty Wallace's afternoon that car doesn't seems to go anywhere that he wants to put it and that's what you need on a tight race track right lower wherever up on the outside but I'm having trouble getting moving on that is allowed get back on the inside of it but on tires are beginning to go away a little bit on him he's not running as fast as he was a little bit earlier and we should be seeing some pit stops water the next 10 15 20 laps off like that well not the fuel Bob they can probably run 100 60 70 laps on gasoline tires is the question mark and no one no one knows he answered to that because this is the first time that radials has ever been run here in Martinsville so no one knows how long it's gonna take before the tires go away John Kernan can tell us what's going on down the Darrell Walker 54 sergeant return Johnson Bennie Jeff Hammond and Jarrell been talking on the radio it's apparently a fuel pressure problem Darrell's telling Jessica gauge has been jumping up and down but like you say she should not be running low on fuel only 100 laps into the race but apparently here's some sort of a problem and the thrill is put their heads together to try and figure it out and I good work on that whenever I come into the pit stop Darrell is dropping off the pace just a little bit but maintain third position he's now a couple of car lengths behind Rusty Wallace in second either 17 cars on the lead lap Jeff put on trying to pass Dave Marcus who is currently in the 17th position here's a good battle the 66 cars hit Triple D seven incomes of 15a Morgan Shepherd this car Mark Martin behind the mortgage seven automobile watch come in car camera more Dakota just drive up on the back bumper like Nathan mark we got that 15 cars running with it ever is only help kid [Music] go outside that's the Jeff Curtis car looking on the same yellow car and the bicycle coming right along in Michael Waltrip it told you right here he goes he's trying to move inside of Mark Martin coming off the fourth quarter Mark Martin started in fourth position Michael Waltrip started 23rd Walter his night and now Rusty Wallace will be getting the grace to paint with a leader jeopardize all the fans send up for fan sent keeping back to Pontiac enhance their classes feelings as you said like the rustic wall of the hole this is a way that he performed last year but has been slow to show us anything this year but now is really putting the heat on it about to take the lead from Jeff behind it see Rusty Wallace goes to the front this board feels like a weight has been lifted what too many coming off turn to get a little bit sideways but he feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders because this is the first race of the year that he has looked like the Winston Cup champion Rusty Wallace and off the pace is Harry Gant in car number 33 that car very slowly down into turn three and four and Harry can waves to the competitors behind him telling him that he is off the pace and may be headed for pit road with it on the backstretch they don't look good for this goal abandoned he won his first ever Winston Cup right here at Martinsville there you can see the pit crew waiting on him on the backstretch we're live at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia for the Haines activewear 500 all of these championship winning drivers have worn the say in common Gucci racing Eagles the race winning technology that's found in the Fuji erasing Eagles can also be found in the world's best-selling line of high-performance street tires Goodyear Eagle Street great news the champions know and it's why we say the best tires in the world at poofy written on over them I thank whatever stinks master of my fate BMW motorcycle would the obsession why hides be excitement that drive trans live the Indy 500 time dryer 97 entry battling 433 starting position and only speed will set them apart the thrills of Indy Sunday May 13 live on ESPN [Music] the top five at the end of 120 laps here at Martinsville its Rusty Wallace Jeff bodean Darrell Waltrip Alan Kulwicki and Dale Earnhardt and tonight at 8 o'clock here on ESPN live the Chicago Cubs against the Los Angeles Dodgers Dodgers as Sunday Night Baseball happens here on ESPN the cuff support the defending national champions they'll be an action against the LA Dodgers join us at 8:00 o'clock tonight live here on ESPN the number 33 car Harry Gant is on pit road as is the Rick Wilson car where Wilson came out of the gift he only changed right side tires Bob but the Harry dent car you can see looking out through his windshield there that they're apparently trying to cool the car off the hood it is up on the car that we see it from the outside that's brakes are trying to cool off ok obviously Harry's brakes have went away and they've got a garden hose clinic to them down Jerry punches with very Dotson the crew chief on Rusty Wallace he's the leader of the race couldn't get this team any better medicine than erupting over to lead a minute ago here when Mary Mary the car is really dialed in what do you guys know the car what is so well done biggest thing it hasn't got that right and then just upgrades weeks and we work hard working hard trying to get back Tom and everything right now Ashley took the lead you were talking here what you say doing we gotta hit a jab [Music] from 17 to the front now they want to back down take care of the gravesite by the way most elite Carter expect you to fear somewhere around lap 150 155 has to be a great psychological burden lifted from the Rusty Wallace look at this battle for fifth position in Dale Earnhardt and Dick Trickle of number 66 and you saw that they were about a lap behind later Oh the second quarter inside of Earnhardt and take over 50 as a turn to talk about is the part we must offenders that live in truth he's on the inside of Earnhardt going on in turn one and goes along side a sale they wait through the corner side by side come off of it still son but the door neighbor the game of advantage crystal now with about a half a car lease advantage but Earnhardt comes back on the high side and crippled crosses his life with about a half a car length advantage on Earnhardt and now or he different bullet Rutherford yes following that hole the Dick Trickle is started and look right behind them with Michael Waltrip in the yellow car now shepard drives hard into turn three bernard hanging toast up there on the outside this information that being back there on out of the triple star sell all this racing is going on Bob Rusty Wallace that just put a lap on Bill Elliott Elliott running in the 14th position so now there are 13 cars in the lead lap Michael Waltrip drives on the inside again of Bernhard trying to take this puddle Dale Earnhardt he's like he's caught out there the outside blue but on the other hand he doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry to get down low well when he goes down low he's got to run off me hard these guys have called him that means they're faster than he is so he lose on the inside he's got to run the car harder than he wants to running people let these guys go by and just kind of hang in there as you're how Petty in the pits make a huge chassis adjustment of the left rear that automobile there's the battle on the racetrack the first possibly of regularly scheduled pit stops coming on lap 131 for Kyle Petty it changed four tires Michael Waltrip moving right up on the back bumper of Morgan Shepards car but you know one thing that's going to hurt Michael Waltrip inion let's just say three have to say green okay but he's kidding on the backstretch is calafate he comes out of the pits impotent antifreeze Pontiac but Michael Waltrip pitting on the backstretch as a result of his qualifying speed and again succeed under caution that's really going to hurt him as we saw they'll Jarrett here last year in that same position so we're going to see how the new tires react because pal fatty has made a pit-stop has four new tires let's see if he's able to go and pass these cards normally the new tires are a little bit better Mark Martin is trying to move up on alongside of Dale Earnhardt not able to make it and ahead of this group of cars in third position well Michael getting a little out of shape here coming up to the fourth quarter and he'd say to Kyle just a little bit there Kyle go so fast of being a parent to those new tires are a little faster yes they look that way okay now we will go back up toward the front of the pack and check in on the number 7 car of Alan Kulwicki he has moved up to fourth position and the 17 car of Waltrip is in third now is the wiki qualified 20th except and that's another car that's hidden on the facts right away so if he should the cause of light comes out he and the 30 car of my colossal have some problems because they're going to have to wait till all the cars on the pit front straightaway pit before they can go in the pit number 27 car Rusty Wallace the leader of the race is in traffic he had just put a lap on Brett put on Brett running in 1313 position tooth now they're 12 cars easily the outside and passing bill eduation you know redbone I'm early in the race was one of the best cars here now he's a lap down so obviously they don't have the radio figured out slide as well as Rusty Wallace Jeff load I'm Darryl walking some of the other guys Brandon moved up to third from his eighth starting position before he started them moving back into field and now has and Jeff bodean his brother passes by on the outside and also puts a lap on his brother friend the two cars separates first and second as Rick mast he is not on the lead lap this battle settling down someone as Morgan Shepherd and Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt now are running those who say well Earnhardt has been passed by both Morgan Shepherd and that mark bark so he continues to fall back back to ninth spot in the Goodwrench Chevrolet looks like most of the cars are loose in other words you're trying to spin out the cars as they come off the corner and they get on the accelerator the cars are wanting to spin the rear tires too much the court you see hanging on mark parks car is the for the radio that looks on the hill that's how he's able to plug in the radio see their sang to the sunny [Music] mark mark continuing to work on Morgan Shepherd Rusty Wallace continues to lead this race the King Richard penny once again and dropping the King another lap down we'll show you the top ten here we should be having regularly scheduled pit stops in just a few moments before we do we'll take this break and be right back to March Ford trucks take one for a nice quiet ride in the country if you care enough about your lawn to get a craftsman more more power to you right now our most powerful craftsman self-propelled mower with five horsepower and 22 inch cut is just $2.99 and there's only one place to get it Sears I don't call out 11-month airfield kirlyam eyes field blue that's what you want the day you can go our way we'll go our way you know what I mean one day it could all come down to a few inches for those few inches it's good to know you have good gear time that's why we say the best tires in the world have Goodyear written all over them just another shot lots of motor oil claimed to be touch Quaker State puts it in writing ask your participating service that are about Quaker State stop lubrication guarantee only a chopped motor oil can make a guarantee this top plate receipt is one top motor oil regularly scheduled pit stops beginning the number 20 car which is just pulling out of the pit is Rob Barroso and he reportedly ran out of fuel and they're having a tough time getting that car started once again they're pushing it down pit road meanwhile mark Martin's crew goes to work on the Folgers Ford and changes all four tires on that car Ricky Rudd is also in the pit and the 7 car has passed Darrell Waltrip and takes over third doing it on the outside Walter gave him room Alan just leaned up on the outside and move around they go into turn one there Ricky Rudd and Mark Martin X in the pit and Mark mark should be able just to drive away from the 7 and 17 look they're all still try it back on the inside don't rob Barroso out of gas he he came into the pits on left 143 that's not getting very good gas mileage normally you go about 115 I would say I would say that the pickups in the fuel tank is in the wrong spot the fuel who was computer in the gas tank that he got away they learn hard coming into the pit in the good range Chevrolet Terry punches a pit stop for Dale Earnhardt you're different are the crew go north on the right side of the car 148 55 laps on fuel the facility is out of the way good pit stop for Tailored Marquis comes out on the racetrack by Bill Elliott Bob how can you say good pit stop that was a pen a big pit stop here for him Morgan Shepherd in the motor craft Ford is up in front of him is Brent bug-eyed four-tire change for both of those drivers Bodine gets his service goes away Morgan and you can see one of the crew members making a chance to adjust on the left rear Morgan Shepherd talks here Morgan it is so leader coming in and hence the Jerry punches they will bring the Miller Genuine Draft [Music] the car wrapped up Gary coming right edge here's the car number 11 guess what I'm the mud wiser for bragança fire he cries rejecting the car my kill my wife screws and he gets four new tires whereas everybody else just took on what did every fat baby the leader is Alan Kulwicki in car number seven area doc the four corners second place is Darrell Waltrip there at car number 17 I'll penny who has made a pit stop in there's Allen quickly going into the pits on the backstretch for his service in the Z wreck Ford let's see if they opted to take on two or four tires they go to the right side you're making four charges will they're taking the lug nuts off the left side as we watch them and you can see again the adjustment being made on there he was loosening the right rear which means that he was putting a little bit more weight on the left rear of the car trying to get him a little bit more by coming off the turn oh look at this Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace are rubbin fenders out there the mark mark stock came for cars Rusty Wallace came to tire so Mark Martin was a lap down he is just unlap himself that's what I wanted to see if four tires was that much better than two right now it looks like four tires as they decide to defend and Earnhardt only sits on same tire so time goes by how much of the change it Wilma darrell waltrip the leader now in car number two had several a he normally runs a little bit longer than most of the other front runner gets all the good gas mileage but car seems like it's working pretty well for now so he's content to stay out there on those tires Dick Trickle coming into the pits now okay well okay it's a rear well II might now go around over here became rock hard they could not take on this get people to turn rightfully down to the Kirby meanwhile Daryl Walton still hasn't it I don't know there's any other cars that hasn't made a pit stop but they're still going around the racetrack and that side Rivlin well the crews out there ready for him you can see the fine here he comes down pit road right now I'm turning this there to report on the pit stop by Darrell Waltrip never late who it's happened and fit in his fist it's going to be a four-tire change Jeff Hammond on the jack on the right side they have two left off the tires on and now they're coming around sandy hills and blue stirring up the left side and you can see the brakes smoking that he is pumping the brakes Walters into a four-tire change there's not a hitting chassis adjustment in new 220 3.1 seconds not a bad tip stopping like we saw last week ago book Colonel Daryl has a car in neutral when they let him down off there was a lot of smoke on the right front of that automobile it looked like brake smoke or something but didn't think was moping excessively everything was more than you normally see here's it crippled trying to move around Darrell Waltrip Waltrip has the four new tires trip along the walk ahead driftnets gun FTC you want some sort of chicken snap before you dive down into the corner too hard now he's got to dive in there a little bit harder but triple kills who's on the outside the bumper let the jack down in neutral last week the North fulfilling on a four tire stop when he came as he was in neutral this ended well had a mental lapse or destructive in his race car drivers do a lot of I've done a lot of those in my life as well they let the jack down here in such a haste to get going into tripping to have a purpose car mounted near the city marring neutral John Kernan what about that smoke that we saw from Darrell charge on your body no problem what there's a little bit of oil many men might be able to tell you about the reason why but after the first pit stops and they bring those tires in you see it's still smoking the oil around the rock wheel and the tire the wheels got quite a bit here on the track it's just burning it on so no major problem with the darrell waltrip car and some of the goodyear radials that are being used here this afternoon at Martinsville for the very first time Darrell Walter desperately trying to get my dick triple because why he wants to get by so bad Rusty Wallace is not that far behind him to put him a lap down remember Rusty Wallace only changed two tires Darrell came for so Rusty Wallace is about five or six seconds behind Darrell to put him a lap back they're running for 4th and 5th position they're Dick Trickle running fourth and Darrell Waltrip running fifth now after the pit stop and there is rusty car number 27 s he is the leader of this race just ahead of him is Mark Martin and ramarao so we'll be back with four of our live coverage from Martinsville Virginia after them lately showtimes made some overinflated claims they say they have big movies but it's HBO that has seven out of ten of the year's top films it's like twins ghostbusters 2 and HBO exclusives like Rain Man and The Naked Gun movie - just walks in dog show time an HBO has the place that made boxing history along with nearly twice as many original programs so considering all the facts HBO is simply the best oh man our neighborhood ever since you

is Darrell Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt and Dick Trickle running very close together on the racetrack in the battle for third position Dale Dale Derek will go forth behind the wall running in second spot behind Waltrip is Jeff Bodine and dead 17 of waldrop there's Western Wall most impressive Rusty Wallace changed to tire mark martin changed four tires rusty Wallace's reflash mark and put him another lap down here's our big a Auto Parts pitstop performance on Rusty Wallace this was a two-tire change the driver 13 second four through thirteen point seven four twelve twenty six point seven seconds now the result of all that well he pitted on lap 151 came in in the lead and went out in the lead so he maintained his position during that pitstop now Alan Kulwicki on the other hand took on four tires and passes Dale Earnhardt his big a autoparts pitstop performance Odin took him 12 point three seconds in the crew twenty six point three change four tires for a total of thirty eight point six and the result was in in fourth out in six so he took on two additional tires and lost two positions that's not too bad he's already got one of those positions back when he passed Dale Earnhardt I think I misspoke a little bit when I said that Mark Martin was another lap down he's only one lap better but he is in fact the lap down Rusty Wallace with two thirds and there are six cars now on the lead lap Philippi is the last car on the lead lap running now cookie path or has passed they learn hard to earn hearts the last car on the lead lap at the moment and he Bob is only about two-thirds of the back straightaway in front of Dale Earnhardt from going a lap down and talked about I should have fifth and Rusty Wallace Earnhardt crosses the start/finish line and here comes Rusty Wallace and rest is only to 1/16 seconds behind him put a lap on let's get out at Jerry punches with Dale Jarrett in for a fight alongside Gary Bob as you can see they have the card jacked up in Dale sits inside the physical force they are what the problem of the car well we've either got a clutch problem or ratchet in the rear Ian's come out of it it gets been in the wheels all the way down the straightaway the same guys happened after Darrell's fund-me out of there first on total what he was doing that early in the race one like I told you before anything hit me in the left rear quarter panel there you turn around maybe I did something when I was the call was standing there but it hasn't run time Stan I don't know get remedied early on of course Dylan substitution for Neal Bannen who continues to make progress from his bout with amnesia following a crash during the Grand South 500 at Darlington the 15 car a Morgan Shepherd is not on the leaf laughing morning white behind a leader and would like very much to get that lap back if he is past Park Park who hit the last down and is coming up on Rusty Wallace now Morgan Shepherd did take on four tires and maybe champion just went on the motor craft Ford so they're catching Dale Earnhardt who is the last car in the lead lap Richard Petty and Zedd the leader Rusty Wallace prevented their thick card in the lead Lantern Rusty Wallace the leader Jim played on running second Darrell Walter third that crippled fourth Alan Kulwicki fifth and Dale Earnhardt in sixth place 14 Sheppard now in seventh the car right behind Rusty Wallace Rusty

leak the cup offensive attack against the strongarm Dodgers it's something like they call live at 8:00 Eastern on ESPN this track pack is brought to you by Quaker State the big queue is one tough motor oil you've all heard us talk about brake bias on a race car and what is brake bias basically the difference between the front and the rear brakes all race cars have two master cylinders one that controls the front brake and one that controls the rear brakes for Winston Cup competition this red knob is mounted beside the driver inside the cockpit of the car he is able to dial this knob forward or backward therefore giving him more front brakes or more rear brake that's helpful a lot of ways typically on the short track he can get the car to turn a little better in the corners by doing that how does that work when he dials this knob exactly it causes the pivoting here of this rod on the inside of the brake pedal therefore allowing a pivoting of the rods going into the master seller therefore allowing less or more brake on the front or rear this could be helpful in a lot of ways too when you have a lot of brake wear for example at Martinsville Virginia use a lot of front brakes during the race you may want to dial back away from the front brakes and use more rear brake for a few laps you may slow you down but you'll cool those front brakes and save them for the end breaks a word synonymous with Martinsville Virginia Speedway the three and fifteen cars are neither on the lead lap but boy they are happening heck of a time out there you're right six to seven port and Shepherd just took over six from Dale Earnhardt now they're five cars and police left as Rusty Wallace went around they learn art a little bit earlier put a lap on Morgan Shepherd might be as fast as Rusty Wallace cars running awfully well now Rusty Wallace unable to drive away from him but he is one lap down he needs to get up get to 27th or in passing catches it might be easy passion about the another short new cars have dropped out of this race there are a few behind the wall but at Richmond really hasn't been that bad so far this afternoon Terry Labonte Harry Gant Sterling Marlin the 21 car of Dale Jarrett some cars that have fallen out lead Rusty Wallace going to allow you now to watch for your favorite driver again as we lock down the camera in turn number one will time the leader at ease the half mile race back at Marksville watch for your favorite driver to come through it you can see where he is running in relationship to believe terney urban remembering 21.6 the last time that we did this and flopped a leader we saw Darrell Waltrip was about 16 or 17 seconds behind this rescue all 21.9 so you really haven't slowed down that much Bill Elliott in car number nine just went two laps down bill is running in 13th position laughs am bored separately surrounding somebody else has been a very disappointing season so far and John Curtin has more on the Bill Elliott story I talked to Bill Elliott early this morning bill said he just has not got the radial tires figured out just yet but he is feeling better and better with each new city races on it he told me he was really looking forward to getting to college again next weekend the deal might be looking ahead at this time yeah I was just going to mention John but a lot of these guys who are doing well here this afternoon will be stars next week in a Talladega Dick Trickle is really loose on the back end come around on the car they're coming off the second quarter he's following Brett Bodine yes Allen boy keep a stop human two laps to go for the imported ition triple running in fifth place right now but the Beckenham does get loose when he come over to her he's trying to stay away from the wall back there because the market cornered now in the country as loose as the car is Bob he's not going to plow through that wall like he normally would if the car was tight enough he was going to ride out against a wall but now you have to stay away because he and loose the packing can jump out slapping almost any kind rough coat on in this green car number 26 they're currently running in the truck the victim he has one left to win a lastly samosa our number 50 settlements in the center of the front of retro dime uber by birth our boy he's working there who contacts that's Brett Medina Jimmy Spencer coming together who boy he gets pretty hard but they managed to maintain control both of them Jimmy's mister and Brett Bodine laughing cinders here comes around both of them he took advantage that moved up to the outside moving around and meanwhile Rusty Wallace sneaks up on Brett Bodine and tries to put him into the left hand here is the replay and all that was happening right in front of the leader as Brett Bodine tried to move the inside of Spencer Spencer came down just a little bit and they got together all three wide now don't be that repenteth rusty is got a fast car but he had second thoughts there about pulling a stupid move that would have perhaps gotten him in trouble with the Morgan Shepherd on the back bumper for us to walk as I said a moment ago that we might be easy passes another problem the Morgan not able to get a grip done off therefore each with the four tires he moved up high could not get a grip eager to get by Rusty Wallace said to Morgan did fit on four tires here Carrie can't going back out he sent him for a long time the Morgan took on four tires here in his green flag pit stop Rusty Wallace on megaphone outside rusty was very strong here at Martinsville trying to put a second lap on brett bodine there's Dick Trickle running in fifth spot now once the shrimp will moved around Brett Madonna Jimmy Spencer he just drove away from them right behind them we have a replay of the buff here from dick triple star watch you know I believe Jimmy Spencer was expecting Brett Burdine to go on the outside of him and he started to come down and give him that room and Brandon made the commitments go on the inside let's go to John Kernan with an update on the 66 car honking was ugly and the Doug dick seemed to be a little bit loose a few laps ago if you having a problem not really John party phony accent for now it is time to say a profit leader Dick Trickle trying to ride it out right now a little bit tight and he wants to stay on the lead lap well he has perhaps 10 maybe 12 car links between himself and the leader Rusty Wallace who has not been able to move around Brentford on that bow dine is about to go two laps down but rusty has just not been able to move around the 11 car is about 11 seconds behind the leader Rusty Wallace Greco died or rather Jeff bow tied is second about 11 seconds behind lucky which is about a half a lap at Ricky Rudd slows dramatically on the front straightaway in car number five Ricky was running two laps down that he is going very slow there is Jeff in second position yeah he has the five car breeki rut has no brakes at all as a matter of fact folks in the moment will get a shot of that 500 when he hits the brakes we can see rut going around there's no brakes well Jerry punch is that correct no brakes make a pit stop please trying to get the car slows down [Music] Levi Garrett Chevrolet vivify ricky rudd without brakes here at Martinsville still out there in competition however but he slowed the car way way down thought he was coming down pit road but he's going to stay out on the racetrack I guess he wants to make sure that when he does come into the pit that he can get stopped know what he's doing right now he's plenty thinks he runs rides around and doesn't use a break for a lap or two they'll cool enough that he might have a break but I don't I doubt that very seriously we see his hand on the door as he goes down in front so it was a moment ago I saw it hit the brakes going to turn one and smoke jump out of the left front so that means to me that he's blown a seal or something and the Floyd just went out of the caliper there's the pit crew standing by in case Ricky does come in but at the moment he stays on the racetrack we're live at Martinsville

instance no we went back just drove right on back again we remind you that we have a 900 number in service now you guys have been asking for some candid comments from the drivers and in one particular case a car owner and if you dial 1 900 2 to 6 1000 you can hear Bill Elliott Rusty Wallace Dale Earnhardt jr. Johnson and Darrell Waltrip answer the question what is your most memorable moment in auto racing and you're going to get some great responses from those five guys the number to dial is one nine hundred to two six one thousand one dollar and ninety five cents for the first minute and a dollar for each subsequent minute burn marks on the outside now Bob can go in and place all the cars five or six cars able to go by Dale Earnhardt and we've reached the halfway point of this event [Music] Griffin went in the corner evidently hit the curb or something we played as far leap to the right almost in the side I think they learn our automobiles earn our continuing to fall back in a car crash up in turn three dari cope is involved once again and the club car Jeff Berman this is heavy damage to the right side of the Jeff Purvis car but I don't see a lot of damage to Jerry coax car Gary Koch has been involved in three incidents so far today he drives away from the crash however Jeff Purvis car is stopped between turns three and four you can see the safety workers have reached it what they're doing is the brakes are on fire because they're over there with a fire extinguisher put it out the fire them cause when they went in the corner and the pressure just when they stopped it breaks flare up there you can see the pit stops are being made here comes Rusty Wallace and Jerry punch will report would be expected to see another four tire change rusty coming in the crew now waiting on the right side of the car and like one please the volunteers 327 a wall for some crude Alvis photons are changing right side tires like Paula fuga having dropped their clapping Jack Perry dots around the left side of the car now here comes Pete Rieser Tim brewer everybody was referred westerner but I saw his a race in the victory under caution get away Oh right here car tires put on it as a crew now making sure they get every lover that's our shell Bertie now everybody moves back to turn one nothing happened on the right front of that automobile I've only exact what every my check was the skill dish with someone down because that a pup was advice from me Ian Goodman start a fella said four of the five cars that are running on the lead lap are all feeding on the front stretch Alan Kulwicki who was running fifth as sitting on the backstretch he has chosen not to make a pit stop so he's the leader the race well let's show you the crew cam now and the pitstop that Broyles the right rear tire or the rear tire changer on Dick Trickle start they receive Pat go around the right side lug nuts coming off new tower coming in all the lug nuts date on lug nuts were already loose on the left side is work compound great fits up absolutely and let's go to Jerry punch and perhaps you can answer that question that been erased on the Earnhardt stop I took question Benny we know that our hearts crews one of the quickest here in the pits and they were one of the last cars to exit pit road among the lead car and what they were doing is putting a lot of fight I won't use the terminology as I was told but they were the car is a little bit slick out there on the racetrack so what they're going to try to do is put some bite in the car and get this lap back they are serious but crowding into flat back they know rusty is going to be a an awful tough guy to get around here just past the halfway point we are just past halfway here at Martinsville Virginia in the hang exactly where 500 lucky wall is showing the way we just went out in seconds stay tuned we're back after this ESPN home

victory Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace battled early in the race as rusty was looking for his fourth victory of the 1989 season but he completed only 272 laps before he had engine trouble dropping him to a 30 first place finish Darrell Waltrip already had nine wins at Martinsville and wanted to make it ten he and Winston Cup points leader Earnhardt rub fenders and ran wheel the wheel for several laps Waltrip made his final ride in the Monte Carlo a good one as one of NASCAR's most successful cars went out of style Waltrip took his third win of the young season that was his tenth at Martinsville he won the 11th last fall he is the second winningest driver here at Martinsville let's go down to John Kernan looks like the Kyle Petty is not yet gone out of the pits John no Bob there's a problem on the right front tire on the brake I should say they're having a problem getting the pad out here and Hilton has a hammer and he's trying to knock it out now they're putting the foot down so I'm not sure if they got the problem fixed or not but there's a big pile back out after they put the tire back on Connolly being shown in 22nd position four laps down that he he had just made a green flag pit stop awhile back before a caution came out and everybody else came in under caution so he lost a couple of those left well the safety vehicles are still getting themselves back into position so it's going to be at least one more lap before we go back to green and so while we have the opportunity we'll take another break from Martinsville Virginia [Music] what could this

positions itself between the leader and second place Geoff Bodine the leader is Rusty Wallace but I run second here's Rick Wilson the yellow car on the inside the dinner bell Oldsmobile going down in turn one and it looks like his car did not stick like it should he should be right down next to the yellow line for the yellow kerbin goes up in the Bodine jeff has to carry his car up the hill from Satan making contact with the riskless automobile there he's trying to get inside of Rick Wilson going down in the corner they rub again encourage food but now Jeff comes on the corner with the advantage Mark Martin right behind Jeff Conine and Morgan Shepherd but the old the Pontiac rather of Rusty Wallace checked out once again working for what darrell waltrip running third Chevrolet for sex my third cardiac fourth the Folger bar that we're looking for is a lap down also the Morgan Shepherd car is a lap down those fellas was desperately likely inside Rustin lost on supplies come out they're back in the lead lap but as in rusty Wallace's will be very very difficult today while Kari punches with Jeff hummuses took quite a whip over there in turn number three Gary well Jeff has been kicked out here but the air care and trauma team is not headed marginal there for North Carolina map apostles and a winston-salem yet glad to see you're okay what happened up there Jennifer Lopez I guess maybe lost it it is coming in the corner way just put us both into the wall I ended up with the worst and even though I was a pilot indoctrination the whistling up racing you didn't get much time with a crutch at all coming here now way out we just got to practice my partner and we know it [Music] we try to get it worked out we just got put down early that's Jeff Purvis even the veterans can have their struggling problems this looks like Dick Trickle has been straightening up there a little bit new guys yeah once again the car just took off to the right I thought he'd cut a tire down but I'm not sure he did but he went high on the track and lost several positions we'll look at it once again we seek trick we'll go down in the corner and you're right the car just all of a sudden goes dead left I believe you walked from yeah left front brake down buddy went in there just simply wouldn't cut Bristol open on the left one I guess that's what happened he just got the prey hit the brakes a little bit too hard and got the front tire sliding and obviously the tire car is not going to turn while the front tires are sliding that could be a good lesson for people when they're driving on the highway pointing when you're when you're driving and you see something in front of you you know you want to slow down but locking the wheels you have no control over an automobile with the wheel problem let's go down to business John or bad you're exactly right I just talked to Doug Williams and he that he locked up the wheels and he couldn't steer the car but he should be okay although he has dropped the position down to number five okay [Music] position now and Alan Kulwicki is the number three car there of Dale Earnhardt is not on the lead lap but he is desperately trying to get back to position where he can get it back but that car is just not performing very well for Henson handled as well as we've seen heard hearts here before running hard today who crowned Brantley I will be outside here's Alan squeaky trying to move up on the outside threat behind as well but I'm currently running in 11th position he left action now Geoff Bodine has really closed in on Rusty

Shepherd is the next car on the racetrack he however is a lap down running in seven spots and he almost lost it in turn two just a lap ago then comes Darrell Waltrip in car number 17 he is in third position in the race there are five cars on the lead lap sides of reality and equipment the grand marshal of this event here this afternoon the Hayes activewear 500 Steve Largent former US Seattle Seahawk the all-time leading past catcher in the NFL and welcome to Martinsville deep thanks Bob it still sounds a little funny to hear myself introduces the former wife of just a year ago that you retired yeah a lot just three months ago I'm still a little sore as a matter of fact in Africa you know most small guy likes you how do you guys our flavor this big alumni those guys are big I tell everybody I'm a lot bigger during the regular season but I try to get out of bounds of options like game day that's how you say just like running into the pit you can't get in trouble there this is your first NASCAR right your impression so far oh that's unbelievable I mean there's no way as hard as you guys try to make home capture that's on TV being here in person is another it's a different world it's really exciting it's a lot of fun you know you're absolutely right about that it is difficult to really bring home the impact that you have when you go to a Winston Cup race let's talk about what's going on here the 26 and the 30 cards are on the same lap as Brett Bodine and Michael Waltrip with three car of Dale Earnhardt is only down one lap Bodine and Michael Waltrip down to last sprint without cars running position off the wall in front of 11 and the number 9 car of Bill Elliott there he is he's running in 11th spot when they throw it back to 12th now Michael Waltrip has moved around here they are two left in Steve you've been out in the infield I'm not sure during the race or at least out amongst the people as the noise here as bad as it is in the kingdom because no it's a lot worse animation as many times before the fans the great Seahawks fans in Seattle has performed the way this does not compare to the the impact here I mean you can feel it in your chest when the American settlers are your race family well I enjoy it I'd say what really push is when you meet the drivers like I did earlier in the day and then see me become personally involved and to be honest or the others full of concern is I got to meet some of these drivers knowing that they are going to turn around and put put literally put their lives on the line and in a race like this today now I think I know the answer this question being from but you have a favorite in this race today well you know I'm sure I'm pulling for all the guys really just to have a safe race and good race but you know Gary coping from Seattle is kind of a hometown favorite and you always pull for those and there is Eric right there in the number ten Purolator car Jerry I mean state Derek opium football languages dropped a few today yes he's had a tough day he drives off one here that's Ernie Irvan in car number four his fun down and turned to it's the car going however and we'll miss em be able to get the car headed in the right direction however the caution is out once again on Martinsville Speedway Ernie Irvan number for Kota Coles will be ill and will be now what kind of pitstop activity we have the pace car is just about to pull out from its position on the backstretch and pick up the leader the yellow comes out on lap 296 and here comes the pace car out picking up the leader Rusty Wallace as he goes down the backstretch there are the crews here on pit road in front of us ready to go to work on the cars you know you talk about athletes and auto racing a lot of people say that drivers and even crew chiefs aren't athletes but I think you got to agree with me that they are they go under a lot of physical exertion out there well so much of athletic competition is doesn't have anything to do with how high you can jump or how fast you can run has to do with concentration that competitive spirit and the pride and what you do and you know these guys certainly exhibit all those characteristics watching now the pit stops by Rusty Wallace on the bottom and Geoff Bodine on the top of your screen as both crews now on the left side of their cars changing all four tires on these machines we'll see who gets out first looks like it's gonna be bowed I'm with a quicker stop and now here comes Rusty Wallace out ahead of him however Morgan Shepherd we made a very good pit stop he has really been sadly trying to get back in the lead lap has been one faster cars but you just can't get actually left so maybe one of the guys out but you're matching on the back pit now they commander laughs Larry see Alan Kulwicki in the middle of that pack a lab running in the top five that is which Miller saw the ITA Flanders car getting work on it now here comes Allen Philippi out of the midst Bobby Dylan also rolls back into action and the 75 power brick Wilson here comes Richard Petty in the 43 machine back out on the racetrack hands own is butch Miller so fix office in

performance in Jeff bodean 12 and a half in nineteen point nine on the crew film of 32.4 now look at wallet it took two through twenty three point two seconds and that is the difference between first and second position I'm amazed these guys used to a 2324 saying fifth off of four tires was a fantastic pizza now we got having 42nd range to be competitive Jenny when I was driving the racecar 20 second pit stop for a two-tire change was good that's when they used lug wrenches woman is there all we have a crash over it off the second quarter down the backstretch brick Wilson has come in hard

on camera all year on camera on the headsets do a fantastic job thank you guys behind the scene and your R&D very very important to any telecast that we have Winston Cup racing so we celebrate our

call 1 888 101 we are back at Martinsville Bob Jenkins Benny Parsons Ned Jarrett dr. Jerry punch and John Kernan set to resume racing the crowd rises to its seat as the deal comes off the fourth corner and receives the green flag back to racing do you say Morgan Shepherd come half of that pack and dip down to the inside time to get by someone going very high isn't apparent what didn't think he was going to get the same turn you know he took them to bite out of the car on his last pit stop he told me last night we were to dinner last night he told me last time he was having a problem John Koerner with more on this Dick Trickle problem well Bob dick is still been complaining with his pit stop that the car feels really tight delayed took another half round to bite out of the car to loosen up a little bit maybe they got a little too loose right now as he got just a little bit too high in the turn and brake again going into that turn they got too much brake on that wheel and when you went away shift a little bit going into the turn and has the brakes on hard it locks that wheel and it will not let it turn meanwhile brakes on Alan Kulwicki has went by darrell wolf which would look at this rusty walls right on the back bumper of Jeff Bodine and Mina's already in the timer to defuse that bumper it lose him on one skin and turn to bill five cars on the lead lap led by Jeff bodean and Rusty Wallace third is Darrell Waltrip fourth is Alan Kulwicki and fifth as a trickle no Alan Kulwicki is just a sterile walking for that we get caught back moaning outside in their walk at Carlos Michael I have just a little bit of a problem I'm not sure if that is the case but Whitney passed him and has put a few car lengths on in every was jet boat I'm the leader and Rusty Wallace the second place tough well we all talked about always long now this is a contact track here at Martinsville we asked Rusty Wallace does that make brakes as important as fenders here it's the place where brakes are very important and driver has to be patient here now we're in the bowels a part of the year you know we're all accidents and things like that happen so you're really going to be patient because to be getting above an incident and you go out after a guy there's a good possibility and a burner breaks off retaliating so the best thing to do here is just forget what's going on or just race that race track and be conscious your brakes the whole time you lose the brakes and we certainly have seen that evident with Dick Trickle now rusty closing in once again on Jeff oh time remember eligible for $38,000 in unocal bonus money if he can win this afternoon he was our pole-sitter his man I talked about at the beginning of the show today at the beginning fell against Jeff vote on his car has run many many times this year as it is now upfront but yet he still hasn't won when Preston Wallace has won either but we did also say that at Rusty Wallace jeopardize Darrell Waltrip with all the friends here in this race today Geoff Bodine comes into this race fifth and Winston Cup points 169 behind the leader Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace is 11th in points 219 behind Dale there's a third place car balance a wicked movin in he might be game called the frontrunners so after he got out of the pack run around Darrell Waltrip and got by some of the left cars just might be picking up on them a little bit one advantage that Alan Kulwicki has today he is putting on the back straightaway but they ran a lot of green flag laps got a lot of cars a lap down now he's able to move up on the outside of those cars we can restart these races in fifth spot and that's a tremendous advantage as we watch Darrell Waltrip Martin Martin Dale Earnhardt and Morgan Shepherd those three cars behind Darrell Waltrip are in the same laughs a lap down to the leaders Mark Martin is six the lap down then comes Dale Earnhardt and Morgan Shepherd and later was behind or separately - with the lap down he's running in the ninth position so there are four cars that are one lap down before that we just mentioned two laps down in fifth place to Jimmy Spencer 11th is Reza 9/12 Michael Waltrip 13th Bill Elliott at 14 Dave mark is having a good run and Richard Petty three laps down in 15th position and Alex wicked flows down the front straightaway no problem with Alan Kulwicki cars we watch that battle for the lead that Alan Kulwicki perhaps headed to the fifth on the backstretch there we see if come off the turn - at the end of the fifth afraid this unbelievably bad luck for Alan Kulwicki all season John Kernan is right there Bob they're lifting the hood on Alan Kulwicki here at four Thunderbirds it looks like there his oil pressure has dropped so they're going to work on that in that side of the car and they point out a fan belt it looks like a fire stretch down they'll be losing valuable time here to fit for wiki this disgusted sitting in his car only one top ten finish this year that was in Atlanta he has had this problem after problem all year long in Winston Cup competition and Alan Kulwicki just sitting as you indicated very dejected Lee in the car as the crew tries to figure out what's wrong with it here is the lead once again being held by Jeff bodean but right on the back bumper is Rusty Wallace rest arena hasn't made a real serious attempt to test Jeff but I if you have to go oh maybe 10 left go he ran up and bumped him a little bit then just back off and seems to be content to run they're not human breakfast he just told something there to go you've got to be able to Grayson and look we've solved hot to break probably seen lots of play club today Ricky Rudd Harry again many many cars Dick Trickle had a great run easier to use your brakes up running behind somebody Danny isn't running in front of of course it is because he has to hit the brakes sometimes keeping his 11 car also he's not able to get that clean air in the brake scoot the cool things off like you would if he was in front go still about 170 laps to go as we talked about brakes we'll take a break here and resume our coverage in just a moment of the haen't activewear 500 from Martinsville [Music] [Music] you the Kawasaki Jet Ski tendon sport watercraft you're only too old if you think you are [Music] if you care enough about your lawn to get a craftsman more more power to you right now our most powerful craftsman self-propelled mower with five horsepower and 22 inch cut is just $2.99 and there's only one place to get it Sears NASCAR Winston Cup racing from Martinsville Virginia the Haines activewear 500 is that a German pointer Benny it sure is done a beautiful job pointing to bird Wow been on the back stretch is brett bodine caution is out last week's winner loses the coming off the second quarter just about same spot that rick wilson lost but I don't think Brent hit the wall if he did he didn't hit it very hard maybe damage there in the back into the carbon it's not very I don't think he did enough to keep you continuing on we talked about turn to its beginning in the show John Kernan was positioned out there and told us about the pump and that combined with the radial tires giving some drivers problems and Brett Bodine has fun over there in the second quarter we'll replay and see if we can determine what happened as we see him still working on Alan Kulwicki scarf it comes off the corner loses control that might be the bump that John Kernan was talking about comes off the coin the car just goes around he wasn't hit by anyone he was running by himself and he just spun around coming off the corner he is being one of the cars that did that in practice on Friday Mary did hearing Chris and then was hit by Dave Marcus they had to put a new front motor don't be quick to say do it here he comes in for a pit stop and all the other leaders do also let's go to Jerry punch guess what I'm getting right side tires on the Budweiser 400 cases all four tires will look silly cars lebanon's not bharanam Topiwala from the bottom is getting left iron order decision and the drag race here's my card Bernard remember there are a lot of extra man to get them but if your right rear tire tends to get it half of a couple of times here in the pit well Jeff bodean was a race out of the pits last time and Rusty Wallace wins the race out of the pits this time let's check the Winston Cup point standings here as we enter the eighth race of the 1990 season there you see the top five and six through ten in the Winston Cup point standings time to go boys but in there long enough tired I've checked my légende all alike we've guaranteed how far we go but home spark was guarantees that we do yeah we're don't pull the plug on somebody else wherever motorcycle riders get together let the good times roll it's easy the seasons out of them most live the one driving mostly cloudy skies over Martinsville Speedway as we are about to resume the action here in the Haines activewear 500 we had rain last night and earlier this morning but everything is cool right now the pace car is in and we'll be back to racing here in just a moment now the 15 car of Morgan Shepherd will lead him around but he's not on the lead lap well he is now in front of Rusty Wallace he beats them out of the pits and so that is city aback that allows him to move up on the outside so he has been the lead lap before he worked hard at it to get there but he's left hardly a friend accelerator in bowls away from everybody as last 340 sees the green flag wave now boy would he like to see a caution come out right down able to really make some headway michael waltrip now trying to get one of his left back he is currently running two laps down at the car number 30 Jimmy Spencer Tobin got into fact of the 11th was the race is Rusty Wallace were running with Mark Martin is he following Shepherd I'm his second our part is not on a lead lap he is currently six to lap down [Music] arrested now trying to make a move on the inside of offal Walter Benjamin Ford I'm running all over Waterford Airpark Martin watching that windshield now roughly alongside of michael waltrip man he will pass in going down the straightaway it didn't turn one there's darrell waltrip who is in third position is a 17 car Martin Martin dives on the inside of Michael Walter Darryl whoops can get by his little brother Dick Trickle is in fourth position he took on four tires during that most recent caution period the crew really likes the way that car is handling in progressing the quickl quickly in for a win here this afternoon moving to the inside of Michael Waltrip I'm Michael by the way the number seven car of Alan Kulwicki there he is going into turn number one is back in the race but he is what 11 laps down at least the drug perhaps just on another lap down so he's just trying to get some Winston Cup points because he has no chance for a happy in a reminder the 900th number that you can dial 1 902 2 6 1041 system of dollar 95 for the first minute a dollar each additional minute and you can dial that number all week here's drivers respond to questions about their personal lives and what they're doing outside of races Dale Earnhardt is in seventh position one lap down any traitor right behind the grenade position one lap down last item on the inside Michael Waltrip is ninth feline there's Morgan Shepherd just ahead of Rusty Wallace Morgan now is on the lead lap again in this position and we'll hold our camera position here as the cars come down the straightaway and again watch for your favorite car and driver to see where he is running in relationship to the leader will clock this lap by Rusty Wallace they were about 21 6 and 21 9 when we clocked them earlier let's see how Rusty Wallace is doing now you'd be a little bit faster unless Morgan Shepherd holds him up with Morgan's not going home with my budge but with the newer tires it might be a little fast let's see to come down across the finish line it is almost a half second faster as a matter of fact and that's 89.3 2-0 miles an hour de crimen hard to quit mortgage Shepherd that lap down see Walter who is turned to running into third position on curtain has a comment on Darrell Waltrip hold on we saw earlier how Darrell was able to run more and asked on it a full tank of fuel and Jeff Hammond is told me they will not feed the kid if this thing goes dream the rest of the working out so many other stream might have to start with about five cent laps to go and it appears to me as if Darrell Waltrip is really closing in on the third that yes second place car of Jeff Bodine well this is born as the race when he normally starts running with about 150 laps to go he says that's time to go and he stays the lead lap as last part of the race with been sent right up there all the time that's the way he likes it here Martinsville Rusty Wallace now really working on Morgan Shepherd Jeff Burton has talked last arrest he had moved away from yeah but what Gretchen called up to Morgan Shepherd he has not been able to move around him and Bodine has been able to closing Darrell Waltrip who finished in second position last week at North Wilkesboro [Music] the racy hood to have won the race we'll never know the answer that question but he is strong for the second week in a row and there is Dick Trickle right behind him there is Mark Martin looking mattify and Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip has won three races in a row year's Martinsville Ned Jarrett mix met earlier in the race it's probably bears repeating three in a row for on the last six has been won by Darrell Waltrip at the Speedway and he has a total of 11 degrees in this facility second to Richard Petty who has the most wins here to pee stay alert mark by the way is third on the windlass with four then come carry hand and ricky rudd with two there's the leader Railly Morgan Shepherd mentioned earlier that here at the end had won his first Winston Cup race here at Martinsville Mogi Morgan Shepherd who won his first ever went to Cup race here one we televised that race here on ESPN our very early days of televised Winston Cup races and I'll never forget now happy Morgan Shepherd was in victory lane that day he's trying to whole run through all involved before crossing both Jimmy means in the alka-seltzer Pontiac and passing down the backstretch there's something on the grill of jebediah car but Debbie there yeah there this is a piece of wax paper it looks like yes to picked up something and that could affect the meaning in the car huh well very good yeah good because it's on the most part of the grill there where it gets a good visible this air Rusty Wallace is telling Morgan Shepherd that he is back there was like very much if Morgan would allow him to pass well rusty is using up his car the most now that he has uses since the early part of the way trying to cook boards to went down at the same time trying to pull away from the section certainly one more successful to get inside Morgan Jeffery can't make the Sam organ car is running to it the motor craft board has all that retain all right so it is Rusty Wallace in the lead in the second place there Geoff Bodine and third Darrell Walker a great record here on this racetrack as we just mentioned by Darrell Waltrip is that because of you or the cars that you've had a lot of it is psychological and when you're up mentally and you go into an event penalty high hopes and high spirits I think it reflects in the race bar itself you know if you drive a good smart rate that they you're going to win because it's the track you like anyone that before I think it just it's snowballs go in with a good attitude and that flows over to the crew and it flows over to the car and ultimately he end up victory circle Dick Trickle has just fun in turn number two he was running by himself just lost it coming out of the corner as we saw Brett Bodine to a few laps ago and so the caution is out on the Speedway and Morgan Shepherd this is the break that he has been waiting for if it is he will stay in the lead lap dick crinkles rosca laughs there's Rusty Wallace went by now strictly is going to come on a pancake car but it's don't you think that's right the leader had already gotten the caution when he came by he had invited the Black Plague could just give a too big trickle so he will be left out and here come the leaders Jerry punch reports on rusty Wallace's stop welcome little fill up in a hurry rusty wall is the first car to make an internal team four tires here too he is big directly in front of Jeff fluoride six cars have been racing electric motor idling top fingers three walls for bottom now very dock to the crew coming the left side of the cloudy actor Rusty Wallace left-side tires is rolled away sewers be put into play [Music] getting him out before here's their a wall trip down pit road is a lot of lead cars now making no targets that getting back that race in the pits has been almost as good as the racial the track lead each other a couple of different times and here's a replay of Dick Trickle spins he was just running by himself and may have encountered that bump that John Kernan talked about that's exactly what happened and you know that's really sad because I think that Dick Trickle at that time was the fastest car on the racetrack he was gaining on Darrell Waltrip and we'll look at it real time now from the in-car camera of Harry Gant maybe again with three months behind in like inside a left rear wheel in that dirty John Kernan talks about that in movement trickle back out of the race rack but he is now on last out his stop on the track and waited for the pace car but it was like black and so is a lap down to the field now let's go to Jerry punch on pit road they are really racing here even under caution for the fifth stop bleep I clock personal a quad remote for nine school immobilizer crew in nineteen point six seconds four two four tires they didn't make any chance you guys before they did do is remove the hot dog wrapper from the grill hey boy dies and hey anyone order a hot dog out here I've got one

unocal should he win this race he was our holes in it but there are waters get a little racy in that sighs heavily men yep welcome all over the glass Roger flag has ruined his chances of going all the way on gasoline and maybe some of the other cars having to stop him being able to make it now that I think they can all run to the end of the race you know we got to know near that barrel welcome Jim lost for sticker tires from Alan Kulwicki who had the problem at defenders running no chance to win I wonder if they've got Lois result the cost of critical time there's probably a lot of used tires down there but probably not too many sticker tires are brand new back I guess that's what you want is brand new rustic just clothes up on the back of the 11 car john kernan what about the tire situation well baby Parsons I see two new sets of picker tires down here that has a number 17 written on it the number seven sticker tires has not arrived so they're a pretty good shape I think of course here comes the tires from Philippi fit so that gives him three sets of tires good ideally they'll be in pretty good shape with 125 last one yeah he's in good shape for the finish of this race and there they are the ones that have just arrived from the Alan Kulwicki camp back out on the race track is still Rusty Wallace running second and Darrell Waltrip running third behind the leader Jeff bowtie they don't need those tires they're about eight hundred dollars a fifth so I get these bring back to Martinsville September and Sawicki sterling doesn't meet him so he was able to get rid of the eight on our bill Jeff Bodine has come so close this year in reaching victory lane but has not done so to this point morale seems to be high on your team why Jeff we hadn't won and you say well how can you be happy if you don't win well we know we're going to win but we know we understand and you know we had this discussion before we even signed on a dotted line to the run for junior we discussed okay you're going to have some engine problems well we already did that arista you're going to have some accident yeah we have Bristol darling so we understand those things are part of racing and they're going to happen so when they do happen we don't get all the press you know we don't mope around we don't get mad at somebody we just get out of heck say come back next week try

won in a junior Johnson Buick there is narrow Waltrip now the 66th I remember we told you a few minutes ago that it went in for an unscheduled pit stop what was a story on that John well Bob it was a flat tire but it was no fall to the radials construction as you can see here the rotor from the brake rubbing against the wheel it finally built up enough heat with a cord to snap and that's what happened the radio love he didn't cut it it was just a problem from inside the brake thing which created it well he did drop another lap down he's down two laps to the rear showed an 11th position Dick Trickle meanwhile fastest to leave the 11 for the red 11 Jeff vote I'm still leading 27 the black and white automobile Rusty Wallace running stuff the last board win here was in 1986 with ricky rudd that was pretty good for car the mortgage shepard pal rod Jeff bodean Zoli win here at Martinsville came in 1984 Rusty Wallace is only win here at Martinsville was in 86 and there are third and fourth positions Waltrip and Sheppard right Rusty Wallace would look like they pulled away from Darrell Waltrip in need 17 just a little bit few laps ago he was on their bumper now about 10 or 15 car lengths behind Morgan Shepherd pretty close to him you know we missed 40 members there again had both got their first win with Kelly in here at Marksville so didn't ship without so this pack has been

thank you you're talking about Talladega next week mid we're gonna watch the interval one more time 11 car 17 2.4 Bodine gained 2/10 of a second that left me admission Talladega folks we're going to be in Talladega Alabama next week for the Winston 5-under they are going to be running 200 miles an hour in qualifying that's what they say they have been testing at that speed at least live at 2 o'clock next Sunday afternoon you know NASCAR has tried their best to slow the cars down and the competitors keep finding more and more speed there's going to be back of the 200 mountain unbelievable what these guys have been able to do with that smallest achievement in succession can't wait for the next week where you will be there and feed on the world fantasy way validation there are Walter better pick up some stage because Morgan Shepherd is really working on his back bumper he only needs one or two of those miles an hour now but check the interval again between first and third pretty soon we won't get a check and enter between first and second is built on holes away from Rusty Wallace 2.84 kantham second he's gained on Gerald in the last two less and indeed he is putting some distance between himself Jeff what is between himself and second place Rusty Wallace so Geoff Bodine has things in hand here looking for his first win of 1990 and 38,000 dollars in bonus money from

thank you so much to all the people who have sent cards and everything to it for his birthday which is to say as Bob said 38 years old today what is good having birthdays with the other know time and the leader once again as you watch the rest of the field pass through the shot still lots of cars out there in competition and it's 21.9 second lap for Jeff mode I'm pretty good in frantic bobbing in fact that he's had those tires own quite a while so that Ford is at 20 car lengths an immigrant e-wallet alone just passing the 20 car he's catching up the Dale Earnhardt yeah Earnhardt had pulled out about it straightaway in front of tempo time the once without got by in freighter their events ernhardt the last car on the lead lap in his place and he is also spread out the interval between himself and Rusty Wallace and there is rusty in second position and Wallace just doesn't seem to be able to keep up at the moment they had mentioned a moment ago when Rusty Wallace got tremendous bite off the second corner which sent him down to fact early looks like he had a rocket ship for an engine right now Geoff Bodine is the driver that's getting that grip off the corner he comes off the corner nails of throttle and it really truly looks like he has 50 more side anymore now all it is is because this chassis is working better than Rusty Wallace is cat gifted at this point of the race [Music] load on is the only driver who has [Music] a lot of bad competition Busch grand national Fantastico I'll escape from the now no the pores turn with Jimmy Spencer the rear end got around a little bit on it but he saved it sensor a number 57 there is Morgan Shepherd at number 15 who is in 4th position now Morgan got bumped out of the Winston last week when Brett Bodine won the race NASCAR's invites the most recent 19 winners to compete in the Winston and Brett Bodine bumped out Morgan Shepherd and now the driver on the bubble dozes beat the one that will go we have a first-time winner with these Bobby Hillin who won at Talladega there's the gap between our leader Jeff bodean and the third fourth place served Airwolf again Morgan ships horn hard one caution because Jeff Madonna's raining with chemical cleaner empathy the 71 car of Dave market is still out there in competition he is two laps down in 12 position but a cut run by stay Marcus in the soda Jerry punch with more on Paul Bob has been handed by the Western Auto people's their selection of mechanic of the race that's why we're talking about Dave Marcus is brucey smart freak with us personally as a couple full-time employees they have worked day and night Marcus crashed the car here riding in the first right position over in the turn they meant to rebuild the whole front of this car I say it no more deserving through and crew chief in part reason they rebuilt as far he is now running in the 12th spot saying among the top 15 all day a great effort certainly a great award Western auto mechanic in the race $1,000 of our creeks in here from five four select Renata and our congratulations to add a market and bar treatment on that award and he had a good run home for her last week as well I think these are 11th to 12th over there last week so they mark is running good and here's Jeff but I'm putting that lap on Dale Earnhardt so now there will just be four cars in the lead lap as Earnhardt he was running free of Jersey last Winston Cup points leader now goes down to one lap down in this pot let's get out of john kernan for report well you mentioned earlier about how Jeff seemed to be driving a little bit harder trying to chase down they'll learn right well the reason is Tim brewer told them on the radio the rain might be on the way put that three car a lap down the bridge does come out in force of yellow then Earnhardt would have gotten to come back around and join the fray but Mallard is a lap down okay so they also are aware that there are showers in the area and may be preparing early into the great got about 56 laps to go when they come back our family alongside of Bill Elliott number nine who is in ninth position two laps down we have the Sun peeking through here on the straightaway however though despite of active showers are reported against the area back with more after this from Martinsville Virginia and the Hayes activewear 500 [Music] Jim Conroy's comedy revue steal me

fund people first investors tax-exempt fund every month since 1979 back at martinsville where there are just a little bit more than 50 laps to go in this race and Geoff Bodine continues to hold on to the lead and it may appear as if they're just cruising around out there but expect the action they heat up here in the last few laps everybody's just saving his car for the moment ready for that final charge to the checkered flag you know the cars end in the top four positions who are in the lead left are too close to each other and that might be by design but the most days they're saving those brakes Pro that last the 20 or 30 left that one is that are all hang out and this is a stock car race ribbon for the Daytona 500 when Dale Earnhardt dominated the race and on the white flag that the last lap of the race had a flat tire anything can happen in the stock car race isn't over till it's over little there for cars in the lead lap Jeff but I'm leading for second is Rusty Wallace 30 Sara Waltrip and forces Morgan Shepherd one lap down in fifth place Dale Earnhardt six is any traitor one lap down in mark Parsons one lap down in seventh and eighth place is aqua Waltrip two laps down and ninth place is the car number 66 about to go a lap down he's two laps down and Bill Elliott intensely who was 2 left a little bit ago Jerry punch is down in the pits with Barry Dawson to keep all the Rusty Wallace 27 cars well they have a couple of concerns obviously desperate on their primary Kinnear the showers in the area let's find as they has been left for bowtie Jerry can you catch it we have a little bit left right now he's pretty good we're at good and driving riding in a breaker there maybe have shotted inspired food plots we get a shot with fresh water on the car what section is there a water pit with John again Thank You Jerry where was Jeff Hammond Jeff Hallett Darrell saving the car for the last 30 laps if you have the problem right now music breaks pretty hard here today we don't have as much breaks we like to have it's really give us a hard time so we're just really we're just trying to hold our own you get it cause the flag against Google back down then we can run hard right here at the end but that's why we got nice crown row to make up and we're just not quite as good a second we need to be well they also would like to see a caution here the Darrell Walker fisted cool off his plate Waltrip remains in third position you know get Hammond said we don't have a much break as we would like to have years we used to have the problem is the radial tires the cars are running so much faster than they did before the brakes are not as good as they were before now they've got the cars running faster they've got to go back home and figure out how that you get to break toward them now all the leaders pelops they did on lap 363 so they have no problem going the rest of the way Dale Earnhardt did not make a pit stop that city back up so he could stay in the lead lap according to the report that we have here that he carried on lap three thirty five so it's going to be close to 1416 I left 20s to run but that also has shown up in those tires Jeff would not write it down and attach the committee done that back we saw the interval there you know I think that Rusty Wallace is gaining on on-air Photon let's just see it was one point three the last time one point one to ten to the second he could have been the traffic truck but I was behind Dick Trickle predicted food under go columns though this left turn one left therefore I going in current 3d walleteer what's got a little loose coming off turn that guy off ramps awesome time with that little bit of bomb until post mentions how much a little bit of a bobble can hurt you to tenth of a second 7 sound like much an automobile raishin it's a great feeling one more time Rusty's a little bit clearer traffic yeah but I think he lost more ground this time pebbles let's see what spot to employ Ryan let's go to Jerry punches with Tim brewer to me get removed around the wallop are you concerned I can't hear you Jerry he's losing some swell to Rusty Wallace where you live a concern you're always back later we were right behind cramping so now that he's gotten over a track we feel like you'll be in pretty good shape guess what I hold him off well there he is now that he has been cleared traffic has pulled away from Rusty Wallace Oh Jim brewer was right he could say all those guys looks everything don't be mad yes sir I thought the rusty was gaining on gift but it was just a tragic situation 461 lat SAR completed here at Martinsville we are closing in on the final stages of this event and can Jeff bodean hold on to the lead and walk off with his first Winston Cup race of 1990 last week brother Brett Bodine was in victory lane today it could be Jeff we'll be back right after this with more [Music] Benjamin Moore paint is sold on playgrounds and just about everywhere else

battling 433 starting position and only speed will the thrills of ending Sunday May 13 live on ESPN [Music] we are back at Martinsville where the Ames activewear 500 is nearing the closing laps Jeff Bodine in number 11 remained in the lead over Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip Morgan Shepherd and Dale Earnhardt now yesterday here at Martinsville we had a modified race won by Jeff Fuller he is with Jerry punch and Jerry asked him how he pronounces the word CA r and t I re well we asked you that yesterday in fact many parks is asking I think he's done many for the first time we may have seen many parks isla staff I tell you yesterday you said over polar dominated all I've been in a great run full get a great Glen the raven boats 150 but the best performance is a came in victory lane what do you call those four rounds rubber things you weight you put on the car Jerry I asked Benny Parsons the same pleasure we got down there I went to the Goodyear trunk and I said I need eight of those things good you guys you mean eight cars and I just know highest and I asked funny I mean he comes from down here and I they're really confused about that but that's how they say that they say the cars the cars and the cars but this man is certainly wheel an open-wheel modified he won yesterday's vote for 57 alley meet Mike's pathetic George get Reggie Ruggiero and Jamie tomato a nice run in that car by Jeff Fuller it was not say what that Victor Lane was unbelievable he was so excited and we got going on cars and cars also say congratulations fellow took now who on the Busch Grand National race says you can win grand - 200 laugher in Gainesville Georgia last night Kenny Wallace came home second Tommy Ellis was third Bobby Hamilton force and receive crystals coming home in the fifth position so jump down in the Texas Pete oh I beg pardon mr. Bay Kelsey's car well Rusty Wallace is losing ground to the leader Geoff Bodine Jeff just continues to stretch it out and has almost a well over a half a straightaway advantage now on rusty we've been chickens we've been checking intervals of the last few left let's take an interval now and just see how much the jet boat on has pulled out in front the last time we saw it it was about 1.6 junko dynamic clock starts becomes rusty off fourth corner 3.7 so he's gained over to 2 seconds in the last one again lapses it then yeah and I don't think that it the fact that Jeff has picked up that much I think Rusty Wallace has slowed down because Earnhardt and his hips to the left on him not too long ago and he's staying in reasonable distance out from Jeff Blue Diamond rusty is losing ground to Votto in fact I got a stopwatch on rusty and he just ran 2184 which is remounted man laughs a little bit earlier 21.9 but that makes the contraction build several cars on the racetrack attrition hasn't been that high here this afternoon will show you who is still out there as we lock down the camera time car he is the traffic that might have a little bit of effect only that say they found 21-6 was the last laughter we find on Jeff Bodine is 21 - was the best that we clocked of a leader that was Rusty Wallace when he was upfront opponent minutes ago think this'll they will for months ever with year faster than that I had Rusty Wallace Andy Pandy was running behind Michael Waltrip there which might affect play a little bit 24 laps ago the 17 of Walter from the 15 of Morgan Shepherd continue to do that'll out there for position for third as a matter of fact what a while Waltrip a pulled away from Morgan Shepherd but now tempered and Morgan goes to the inside and prized the past Darrell Waltrip in the third quarter here they come off the corner and Morgan Shepherd is going to pull ahead of Darrell the Morgan Shepherd goes two-thirds of issues for about two-thirds of this rate they ran a lap down but he find the guy back and have he got a lap down for the fans that might have just joined us on the first green flag pit stop many of the drivers just took home - now the rock by tires Morgan Shepherd crew change four tires you got a left after this could sit a long long time for him to get it back what a great year the mortgage evidence having the motor craft Ford he is second in the Winston Cup point standings and if this thing could go on and finish this way he would be suitable clown on Dale Earnhardt State Bernard not having a particularly good day Morgan Shepherd a great day finishing serve the leader moves innocent traffic there's Jeff passing brother Brett and now he approaches the 57 of Jimmy Spencer in the 30th Michael Waltrip not too far ahead Michael Waltrip get the car out of shape right in front off the leaders just a time shift don't want to see that huh no he's is my please control that car aqua running in eighth place he's two laps down at the moment the only car that is two laps down but he's about to go three laps down and boy did he get loose again less than 20 laps to go in this one 38,000 added on to about 50,000 or so the clay URLs normally play safe for the winter hit the mark field speedway going to be a good payday for a short track yeah this is going to blow look at Michael's coming off the corner got little sideways I think he's going to be the richest short track race in history if I'm not mistaken because up the Unocal bonus yes food I could hang out Erol fenders getting Michael Wallace move over flag telling him that there's a pastor car behind you but because of this Rusty Wallace does not seem to be painting he would think that with the trouble that Jeff is having in the traffic that rusty would be closing in but that doesn't seem to be the case a lot of cars between first and second down and the lamps are wearing then I think what I don't guess hold on might back off of that Michael Walters go he might oppression too much because I think they're running fast enough class enough now that Rusty Wallace is not forget you six years ago in this race Jeff bodean won his very first Winston Cup event as one six times since then so if he should win here today and we Winston Cup win number eight well here's the good battle bark-bark running in sixth place in car number six and Kenny Schrader in car number twenty five running seventh now Geoff Bodine gets around to Michael Walker that he has those things out in four position in front of to go three cars that are one lamb Dale Earnhardt wedding in fifth place Mark Martin reading six dance course on the lead lap after that further moves over let's get boat on joepie on the outside whoops wait a minute I said it go ahead and go by he patches more hard instead for the spot the Schrader moves to town Mark Martin back to seven macerator kind of move to the inside Walter was really coming on the corner and it goes Dale Earnhardt to the inside a lot of good race cars running close together is happening just behind the leader Jeff bodean here's a replay of Mike watch Michael walking the second corner whoo-hoo our dart got loose to burn our trying to get underneath the 30 car got is far a little bit out shaken off that second corner coming down will complete last 400 dinars Warren Oh Earnhardt and 10 Schrader running the water steamships with us water steam coming up right after our telecast here this afternoon and we only have more lines to go mark Barton private pension traitor back on the outside its bill were battling for that sixth and seventh position now vena found two left's down sir Marti someone left them now so he simple m57 Barnard doesn't have anybody to race with but said early on the racetrack who's going to be in this spot but we're talking about a six [Music] every spot $1 every Western aren't the flat 3 by 25 the brown 6 or maroon Richard Martin a little bit out of shape we saw his hands go back and forth to control over into the car coming off turn two guys will place another lap or to go there's a leader Jeff bodean the last time junior Johnson won a race here at Martinsville was in September of 84 with Darrell Waltrip is targeted by Jeff bodean is alpha here five more laps ago 495 in the book Jeff was in 1982 Winston's up looking at the year and was the 1987 IROC Campion for the 1990 season next weekend Talladega you folks through Ben Washington shortbread Grace's own master Winston Cup right here constant seeing a a tire go coughs car things run first maybe this is going to be not as exciting as you would like for it to be fun this will be very very excited for Geoff Bodine because it's 11 cars Jeff bodean he was very very good at Talladega last year I think the prettiest company's second boat racing toward Terry Labonte one be the second race down there seven days right here in this car though let's go to Jerry punch he has a comment making runs away the gas man then he took the fire spinning on the pit wall with that big gas can in his lap waiting and walking Oh there's a development we had not expected there are less than two laps ago that Earnhardt may be having a fuel problem now here comes the white flag for Geoff Bodine as he comes off the fourth corner and Harold kinder has it in hand here it is one more last to go for Geoff Bodine and he'll win Hayes activewear 500 bowed I'm looking for Winston Cup wins upper 8th first victory since October of last year when he was on the short track at North Wilkesboro we've got his man in the air waving to

victory here this afternoon let's buzz excited this junior ever gets there second place goes to Rusty Wallace and third to Morgan Shepherd 4th Darrell Waltrip and let's go to Jerry punches with Tim brewer congratulations congratulations on a great effort today thank you very you know it's kind of a bittersweet deal we want a race without everything good at the track but I had to give one of guys
