be arguing a little bit about something obviously Donnie what's going on here another word NASCAR you know come up with a new safety rules for this year and necessary so but now they really count the amount of people you get over the wall and it cost you 15 seconds if you get one extra foot over there so we're just going over them we got it rain Mike Kyle Petty and Ken Schrader's cradle squirts out of turn two with glee sure I don't think the track will dry that second group so he looking from Davey Allison's [Music] penny have they come through turn kyle petty in front Davey Allison that black warrant April [Music] it's ricky-rock Kyle Petty's started where he left off last year you know he down to the race this race last year he was a dominant car in the fall race until he had trouble at La Casona breaking away just a bit there's the battle back behind the bird with Earvin has had a trailer a bunch of this young season here Davey Allison with Kent Raider Davey has moved up the engines [Music] we talked about the three [Music] traitor number 25 and third [Music] [Music] [Music] penny has about the same involve acquaintance of it between he and Davey Allison nine tenths

and here comes the field right on top of an plenty room to get by on the outside as they race to the caution flag first yellow of the day for Hillenburg spin-up in turn four okay I don't think he made any contact Mike it looks like just a fairly innocent spin and he should be able to get back under way so there's Hillenburg down on the apron which you see is still rather damn here's Daryl Walter riding behind a forged Shepherds board and just back of Sterling Marlin under this first caution that was Hillenburg first Winston Cup career start he still hasn't fired that car down the in front of turn four a yellow here for a few laps riding along under Tosha with Darrell Waltrip who started back in 17th position a batch of his car number he is currently running in 19 he's given up two spots one to Sterling Marlin and one to Morgan Shepherd rock eggs bike I'm with Donnie Robinson who is handling their crew chief duties down here Gary Nelson is the spotter this afternoon for Cobb petty enough this kind of talking to you at all not really II just concentrate on this line and sure looks good he looks like a repeat performance we've seen this before here yeah we hope to do it again we know it's not going to be as easy it wasn't easy last year in the fall when we got up front as it was in the spring and we know everybody else had been working hard for this racetrack and gunning for us and we expect them to be a little tighter this time around Donnie I talked earlier to Kyle we concerned I think everybody is about this sort of change in cadence of this race because the rain and the quick start and a little run-in on the caution laps what are you gonna do you got a problem or are you gonna set out with a race plan ahead before Gary and I sat in the truck and we talked strategy for an hour this morning and we're gonna try to just stick to it as we can as long as we're out front okay Steve I'm with Andy Hillenburg the 29 car from Indianapolis and Andy first of all sorry to see you out so soon but did the racetrack conditions have anything to do with your losing control no the motor locked up on me going into three and and just the rear wheel stopped turning and semi spinning so this is my debut and Winston Cup racing it wasn't what I had in mind but we got our feet wet anyway and hopefully we've been laid a good foundation on building our team tough way to get on television yeah me Mike joy Hillenburg czar quite a sprint car driver eel at 97 of the 100 lap one hundred last year went out with three laps to go due to a flat tire nine laps complete were set to go back to green and Kyle Petty is at the head of the parade Davey Allison Ken Schrader Harry Gant Ricky Rudd Mike Waltrip is sixth Alan Kulwicki seventh Geoff Bodine eighth Dale Earnhardt and Ernie Irvan behind them comes Rusty Wallace and Rick Wilson in for green out of turn [Music] like wolterman [Music] Davey Allison [Applause] for Thunderbird the common green bike Kenny Schrader in third right with him gasps poor rough in the running on the bunt an Unchained [Music] now from the front seven car three games Jeff hold on there's the Starling [Music] Oh time to breathe Buick on the outside three cars wrecked in three weeks of racing kyle petty brings him around 12 laps maybe out of the penny once again opens up Fetty in the lead second back with more 16 laps complete we are back in under caution for the second time today for a grinding crash out of turn number four involving Jimmy Spencer and Terry Labonte the body the second such crash in two days as he wrapped the car up on Friday the taste of the wall they brought this car back number 94 the Billy Hagen shop to run here on Sunday and let's have a look at it coming off turn four when the accident happened looks like Jimmy Spencer kind of eased into Terry Labonte on the outside put both of them in the wall here Labonte had a very hard lick but he's still in the car right now but I see him moving around yeah Joe Ruttman had to do some evasive measures to get by but look like Jimmy Spencer did well there's another angle I don't think Jimmy Spencer knew that Terry Labonte was on the outside of him started coming up the hill and kind of pinched tear you into the wall took his sin of both in the wall headfirst Ruffin was inside of Spencer at the time and Spencer came up Labonte right there and both cars grinded up against the wall appear into the start/finish line area of the trial Ville and it is levanti's car going on the hook you see the rescue crews in talking with him as he took quite a ride against the concrete retaining wall here and we're under caution for the second time today Andy Hillenburg brought out the first one when his engine locked up and turned number four let's go to Brock AIDS I'm like I'm with richard childress who's getting some information right now from the Ernie Irvan crew they about Tony Glover here talking a little bit about what's going on out there we know that Dale ticks the wall we want to talk to Richard about that Richard we understand that Dale took the wall a little bit so you got to find out until he gets back up to speed whether or not you've got problems yeah we can't change the rear tire now so we just have to really get to running if it does and we'll come right in and put him on - right let's hope hey now let's go to Glen Jarrah okay we're standing by and Jimmy Spencer spits he's talking with some radio people right now if we can pan the camera down here you can see some of the pieces that are left of the Chevrolet that Jimmy was driving we're going to get a word with him right now find out what happened first of all Jimmy are you okay yeah Glen I'm all right you know just a shame they've had a hapless early in the race Bank of Bruce car being good last two races was gonna run goodness - today - but just a hit from behind nothing we could do about it just racing well early on in the race we're from the car easy to do you know who [Music] well sometimes those things happen better luck next time thank you the two cars immediately behind Spencer werlla body on the outside and Joe Ruttman on the inside the body and Spencer where the cars ending up in the wall the body is a two-time winner here his second career win came here in the fall of 1983 and he won this race in 1986 the body is the third car out of the race this afternoon we're up to the second caution of the day 19 laps completed now but Richard Childress was speaking of is the new NASCAR rules that do not permit tire changes under the caution flag unless one of those tires is flat if so you can change that flat tire but then so you don't gain advantage on the rest of the field you must come back in under the green flag running conditions and change tires change those tires once again so Childress is leaving that car out on the racetrack here's the man they're all trying to chase today Kyle Petty Kyle who won $295,000 here one year ago he is trying to again capture the pole winner race winner bonus this afternoon Ned Jarrett Benny Parsons both I talk to them after the race and they told me they said let me play something I said we've been racing a long time and you will race for years and years but you'll never have the two or three races like that in your lifetime and you'll remember each and every one of them one year ago today thanks to the Unitel 76 challenge bonus style Betty left Rockingham with more prize money than any stock car driver had ever won in a single afternoon right at $300,000 Feb 13 owner Felix ibadis true chief Gary Nelson and Kyle invited us this week of the North Carolina facility gleaming floors perfect race cars and another story about that Sunday at the rock one with a British accent the Rolls Royce came about last year when we started the season Felix said if you go to Daytona and you win the Daytona 500 I'll give you a Rolls Royce and my golden life was always owned a rolls-royce by the time I was 30 obviously we went to Daytona we didn't win a race but we went to Rockingham right after that and set on the pole and by that time I had already bought the Rolls Royce I went to the dealership made my down payment on it and started making my payments on it and when I got down there Felix said well you've set on the pole if you go ahead and win a race win a unical bunny he said then I was just finished playing off the rolls for you so we were real fortunate and was able to ride home that night to celebrate in a Rolls Royce and I guess I reached one of my goals in life I had a rose by the time I was thirty Kyle loves that role not the kind of ride is hard working crew is comfortable in so this year win or lose at the rock the crew will hit the water in luxury maybe on Kyle's nickel we have an associate sponsorship with Don's e-boats Don Zia said if we win one of the first two or three races of the year they'll give it a 21 or 22 foot ski boat to the crew that they can take over there on Lake Norman and ski wid so the way felix has pretty much put it to me is you either go out and win a race and the crew gets a boat or you go out and don't win a race and you buy the cool boat that's a heck of a deal for Kyle Petty I'll tell you if Sterling Marlin was this rich what does he get a cup of coffee from his sponsor I don't know today TNN presents the right car

with the penalty involved got a real good fit from here they've got a lot of guys in motion [Music] [Music] get back in a lot of discussion going on with the NASCAR officials here from this briefing they're not happy at all [Music] found out [Music] Dennis when wine [Music] fifteen seconds I believe try to put a lap on Darryl Waltrip and Hut Stricklin who had a good run here let's look at the cars out of the race so far and the Hillenburg brought up first caution out with a blown engine and right behind him Jimmy Spencer and Terry Labonte went out at 15 crashing down the front straightaway 101 of 492 laughs complete Kyle Petty led until he made him fix the pole Kenny Schrader's went to the front briefly so did Bill Elliott okay it shows how much that penalty batter to Davey Allison right now they're showing Davey Allison a lap down and he was second third place car prior to his pit stop kyle petty well out in front 5.5 seconds is Harry camp is clocked with the bestop 21.1 seconds pile stopped by contrast was 25 mile that puts Harry again all the way up to second position fit strategy will be key with these NASCAR regulations and the entire stops under green c-cal pretty right now moving to the outside of hard part put up one lap down riding the Davey Allison there ahead of Richard Petty [Music] it had a bit of top-line they had two full positions to start the season with and within a third one here maybe started in the third position we were up to his shot during the week that have a look around Robert Yates racing while Vanitas racing facility got business with robert gates up a robbery in training Charlotte North Carolina is the home to many genes including Davey Allison's car owner Robert Yates amidst the pounding and the roar of the engine dynamometer Robert gave us some insights on what it takes to get ready jump break the rock fair for Rockingham we think about the you know the time it's a five-hour race generally a five-hour race Rockingham calls on the engine to perform at high rpm in order to get the car up off the corner because it is a slow corner so this it's one of the most challenging places for an engine builders you know when you're preparing for Rockingham that's where you put your brand-new rockers you brand new valves if you know if you don't do this every race you least do it for Rockingham and you know just uses a lot of engine but it's not all engine everything gets attention like this brake rotor if the chassis won't apply the power to the track it doesn't matter how many ponies you have the rock will beat you up sometimes you even go back to tried-and-true methods just today we decided a day before time to leave we've decided to change and go back to more of a basic chassis than what we've and ran last time a rocking him and so the guys were thrashing preparing the car for that race but right now that penalty in pitstop Davey Allison is out of the top 15 one lap down the point [Music] working a bit of race traffic Aragon and second monkey wallet Conine who had the second best pitstop in that run his sixth ahead Ricky wrought-iron even Jeff bodean and Morgan Shepherd love technibond gay and I can tell you one of these guys down here in Kyle Petty fit about water but more about that Donzi I think their daddy we know about the deal with the motor you guys get ready to go to see or you more work to do [Music] the boat when one of the virtually right now got one already at the demo we should look guys that get you when we go have some fun on our Bama based on the guys I count down here you going to be like a 16 quarter to fit all you people honest I understand what you're saying we're going to need about a 60 footer to get everybody on a mother does he built one that bit I don't think I do but one way or another these guys are going to see fight he went on TNN do we get one to house so 112 laps complete five 500 more after these messages one two one two one two three one two three we're back we're back we're back at the North Carolina Motor Speedway apologize for the brief delay but engines aren't the only thing that are for we had a circuit breaker go in the main may have taken a lightning hit this morning during the rainstorm so our apologies not much has changed Kyle Petty the field now only ten cars on the lead lap 1:22 one key card is not on the lead lap is Dale Earnhardt while we were away Dale Earnhardt got lack you know Ricky Rudd alluded to the fact this was not one today here he in 222 left for the race already of that down five the lead the second arrogant is third Ken Schrader is fourth and Bill Elliott fifth as Kyle tries to lap this pack of cars here's Montero been a little tough so far this year but looks like Bill's got a good run going today [Music] later owner is anybody gonna have anything for it [Music] okay they're hoping it might be later on they'll have something for Calvin Rock Jake a lot down here with Andy Petree and Arik amstead and right at the end of the straightaway and the third one a little noisy down here Annie but he's got to be running wild you gotta be pleased [Music] well he's good at stuff come through amongst the leaders he's running pretty quick anyone you know our biggest problem and getting around the pitch logistically in the past has been too many tires everybody has 12 14 cents a tire that's not true anymore let's take inventory here's a hot set of tires that came off the car that's one there's two [Music] for five cents the tires a total of five well to sit on the car make sick that half will be used to run so definitely cutting down on tire build when he's hit rule but something maybe they make up for that bed sheet metal for the tires are worn out kyle petty up in front of this

battling along perform and fifth position ricky-rock in the sixth spot and Ernie Irvan seventh those are the only hard that's amazing Mike that we have gone only 130 laps into this race and there's only seven cards back in the lead lap Graphics trailer has also taken a lightning hit and will hope to have those capabilities back Audio I'll take you back through the field just a bit eight spot one lap down Jeff bowtie brett bodine his Morgan Shepherd his 10th Dale Earnhardt 11 Sterling Marlin his 12 Mike Walter 1314 Dale Jarrett 50 the Richard Petty 16 Davey Allison our walk back down makes his second big topic one-thirty now what Andy Petree was talking about we hit it a little early got out of sequence he was the car that started the pistol under green at 70 laps they pitted beginning at lap 70 and ending at lap 91 or 92 rather when Davey Allison came in here's bride oh my god Mike I was Richard ruined the crew chief on Kenny freighters car they're back here having a conference about tires Richard I notice she's got a couple of sets of stuff back here are you thinking about using him [Music] everybody's been fooling around with tires but you're the only guy that got a set as tough tires everybody else has brunch rubber back here what do you reckon the advanture would be [Music] so you're gonna try it you got to try something with Kyle running away from the field desperate men do desperate things right Martin desperate men do desperate things okay Steve take it away I'm a Jimmy make our revolution you've gotta be proud of this new day [Music] second well right now we're pretty the car feels good just kind of trying to keep up with Kyle right now he's running off let's go back to Mike 13 seconds is the advantage the Kyle Petty has Rusty Wallace been here of the third and fourth traitor Perry's gone tree line that turns up and watched Harry for a few laps he's gone real eye candy straighter passed up the last lap the exact just past the hoop trader up to third Elliot the war back to the fifth spot maybe coming in he's hard on the brakes and his on pit road didn't want to sit with that set of tires for very long it is 65 laps since his first time here trot game you heard Andy Petree earlier say their Freudian Jesse changed [Music] interesting fill on every stop everybody is getting more tired oh yeah they're not even thinking about getting too tired with the second pit stop at lap 130 the Kyle Petty and here comes Kyle going around here again at turn two on TNN third place is the battle behind Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace get traitor and Bill Elliott battling with Ricky ridin in the fifth position Ernie Irvan Gretl Morgan Shepherd back a lot watch this battle for third spot Schrader's and elliot it looked like Elliot's just found a comfortable place to hang out there [Music] ladies getting away from home right now Mike but there's not a whole lot they do about it what the got to do is run their race not worry about Kyle Petty right now I think everyone's racing for second or if they can improve their cars Allen pokey on pit road here flem you're exactly right that's exactly what's going on here I just got the Ernie Elliot they're just waiting there just exactly what she says I just happened to take palpating out of this thing for second place the car's performance basically racing until they could get something get in here and maybe make some more changes it might be able to invite enable them to catch up with Calvin right now in the races for second place he is suffering through another abysmal pitstop trouble on the right-front and it takes them 44 seconds to change four tires he was running with this pack of cars we're seeing now Geoff Bodine and ster the wiki got kicked up to the top of the racetrack and came in four tires but it was an excruciating stop here froggy while Mike you can see that the Richard Childress sled Kru dear learn art is not particularly elated down here I just talked to Richard and he gave me a little weight wagging signal with his hand the car is very very loose and they're going to try to recruit them when they come back into the next stop but they're going to stay out there they feel they've got a ways to go obviously and now hopefully they'll can make a charge after the next stop if there's such a thing as serenity and you'll find it in the pits of Rusty Wallace number two [Music] has always been identified with any pesky operations like so it'd be fine now second place well back of Kyle Petty but with a leg up on Phil Elliot in third the organization rusty [Music] here it is the most successful name an American Racing Roger Penske has returned to NASCAR after a long absence Rusty Wallace is not just the driver he's the inspiration and part owner we visited their Charlotte area show shop for racers a dream of such facilities the pictures speak for themselves I knew how much money it took to do this getting us getting a sponsorship with one thing putting the sponsorship together to run the season or if you signed a three-year contract you put enough sponsorship money to run three years that's fine but then if you had hard times it didn't it three years what do you do now throw the towel in fold up we tear there's a lot of teams that had to do that I didn't want to get myself in that position so I wanted to have an owner that had enough capital or enough backing that we could continue on racing my partner right now Don Miller Don worked for Penske Corporation and basically through Don I was able to put this relationship together and so 1988 1980 I had a chance to drive one of the Penske cars in Atlanta I finished second it was a good run for us but then after that it just got really complex so we can the deal I got more experience 10 years later I called upon him again to see if you might be interested he jumped for the ideal so we're together that's a long-term deal right now Rusty Wallace is our hands-on guy he has the knowledge to be a part of every facet of car preparation he built his own cars from scratch in the lean days even though he now has a financial stake when the helmet goes on the beam counting stops when I'm at the racetrack I never have a problem distinguishing myself from racecar driver to car owner how didn't think that and that was one of my main concerns also I didn't want to get light on the right foot thinking hey I owned part of this deal I don't want to tear apart of it up no I never think that when I go out there I give it 110% and pretend I'm just driving for somebody else Rusty Wallace driving his heart out in in second place behind cars on the lead lap and this was a great battle going on here back at eighth place Brett phone moved around brother Jeff and then the leaderboard to 8th place in the 26 car back to my and Jeff bodean 152 laps Ernie Irvan just made a pit stop sticking around a green flag stop is underway we'll be back after this [Music] just made his pit stop the second one of the day and regretted comes another 1:55 he was a fight fire troubling Richard Petty is up there Harry in Tangled [Music] trying to avoid it we'll bring out the caution flag hey Mike it looked like Harry Gant Richard Petty got together going into turn one we were watching Brett Bodine leave the pits after his four-tire change just out of the corner of my eye saw Richard Petty and Harry again let's take a look at it see if we can see what happened right now they're already sideways you can see the tire smoke from this from this distance you see Ernie Irvan just get by Richard Petty on the high side and Davey Allison on the Bob baby elephant on the bottom at state Marcus and a blue car to the right of the screen we'll take another look at it from a different angle and see if we can tell exactly what happened to start this thing doesn't look like the cars are damaged too much here they are Harry Gant tried to get underneath Richard Petty as they went into turn one they got together Richard came down and you know nobody hit too hard it just how petty got by Harry Gant while he was backwards on the racetrack so Kyle Petty is now a lap down I mean here again is now a lap down now here's who gets burned on the caution flag Alan Kulwicki had already made a second stop so it Ernie Irvan Derek coke Brett Bodine Harry Gant each of those cars will be open on the field as a result of having stopped under green before this caution came out and before the rest of leaders Nathan stuff that'll benefit Harry Gant now two laps down he was two laps down after his pit stop past Kyle Petty with his fresh tires here comes Jeff go down in the pits these cars are in for fuel no tire changes on to the caution unless you have a tire flat Earnhardt is in you're watching Jeff bodean there's Earnhardt Alan Kulwicki Bill Elliott Darrell Walter Ernie Irvan he looks like Richard Chile's making a chassis adjustment on Dale Earnhardt's car bill Elliott's gonna get a penalty because he's over the edge of his pin let's go to proc eh okay well there you saw Richard Childress make that Jesse indefinitely you're absolutely right felt on the left rear the car key as I told you earlier was really really and hopefully they'll get that corrected but they'll do a lot worse he's doing right now he's really having some car troubles and he's working really hard Bill Elliott you saw in the penalty box not a severe penalty because they are under caution to get back up with the leaders we have another look at the incident in turns one and two involving Dave Marcus Richard Petty and Harry Gant this is from darrell waltrip scar looking right ahead there's Gant on the inside it's a little slide weighs up into Richard Dave Marcus hard on the brakes and Darrell is staring right at here against door Darrell had a heckuva you look like Harry Gant was gonna laugh Richard Petty on the bottom point in turn one I don't think Richard knew he was there Richard came down to take the bottom line okay we ran across the apron they keep on running into Richard lost the car that been bounced up into Richard and that's what caused the accident it is the third caution flag of the day the first was for Andy Hillenburg second for the tearing the body Jimmy Spencer crash at lap 16 and this is the third caution of the day the right guard half weight challenge you can call in you still have time to call in and register at the 900 number on your screen each call cost 95 cents if you know which driver went to ten thousand dollars from Gillette you may win a Pontiac Grand Prix SP if they call you after the halfway now halfway is 246 laps if we're under green otherwise the award goes to the driver who's leading on the fifth green flag lap after that question we are under caution third one today the man they're all chasing black green and yellow Katya Felix embodies engineer by caring let's have a look at Bill Elliott crew as they went to work and see what caused that penalty you see the very front of his car back over the white line you'll see the NASCAR official in the blue sweater pointing it the line down there so he holds Bill Elliott for about 15 seconds after his pit stop this is the best time for that to happen because it's under caution flag he's not going to lose any time on the racetrack Walla heard in a little bit his track position but he made his fist up not a whole lot of people did so he'll be at the back of the pack anyway he is on the lead lap Phil so he gets the free pass up to the front of the line on the outside on the lead lap Elliott in fourth place Kenny Schrader in third the two car Rusty Wallace and Kyle Petty up front Harry Gant Richard Petty still running they're both two laps down after that altercation at turn one away from Rusty Wallace at the car behind derrike cope at the car inside Kyle Petty see Rusty Wallace threatening his carpet we rinse away for Rusty Wallace it leads the charge to turn one [Music] trying to get a lap back runs the place car one lap down number five [Music] we've seen ahead a cop [Music] defense Raiders cut off the back of retro Walton behind he got one of those backed up now [Music] right behind Ricky run this place are laughing kyle petty the race leader splitting the first and second place card is run 9 another six cars two laps back second [Music] - Jeff bowtie 9th Morgan Shepherd intent well his Darrell Waltrip and 13 to Davey Allison [Music] [Music] here's that jarrah okay Richard penny has come in now this is a regularly scheduled stock when he's bought up there [Music] they decided to wait come back you never green in two tires on the car no chassis adjustments done having a little trouble I got a lug nut shift on to that front [Music] so Richard Petty will now go three laps down with Dave Marcus mark Larkin Bobby Hamilton fadi back up the speed Bill Elliott is on the lead lap 25 is Schrader the third place Eliott trying to ram sad little my team and Ernie Irvan gets underneath Elliot there there's Elliot's load up or is he just Boston traffic looks like he slowed up a little bit Mike he may not have to confess to the tires right now his his tire sir but questions about everybody people that have made the second pit stop so I'm not sure exactly what's wrong [Music] the place six through ten all one lap down back through Morgan Shepherd who is now on pit road along with Dale Jarrett and then Jeff bodean so shepherd this is a scheduled stop at lap 168 [Music] Dale Jarrett also at 168 south park mark just drive by pretty straight apart we're not sure in his victory in second Vista he may have already stole but he just drove five demonstrator it sure looks like he has fresh new tires on the contrary to Pontiac for class honors [Music] 70 laps down [Music] [Music] everybody's on pit road including race leader Kyle Kenny - jr. Johnson cars Jeff bowtie are also in they learn art getting certain rock game okay we're down here in the company [Music] twenty four point one seconds so once again the picture is doing just as good a job down here and again Mike no chassis adjustments on this thing I'm here with Felix de vidas who big excel you're a little late critic was the over in Charlotte this morning I didn't reckon that he was going to get out in time the rain coming down I understand about seven laps and unreal before you got on the racetrack helicopter we're fighting the brother I think that we've run the race today huh guys but I know for an enthusiast like yourself you must have been really upset well I want the winner running today so okay up the mic darrell waltrip on pit row Davey Allison Ricky run off again kenny schrader now is at lap 176 like we see the NASCAR official again in the red coat pointing pointing at the line Darrell Waltrip straight over the line he'll get a 15-second penalty maybe Allison pulling out in the more tired when the robber gates went through 2.3 seconds rock okay here he is done any critters in the fence once again is everybody doing a football four tires and background away quick tire 22 seconds Dave take it away they wallow through is also prepared to put gas in the hand [Music] and here [Music] Descartes out of the ribbon beetle operation with it [Music] five and over the wall [Music] wallet stop welcome [Music] Elliott takes the lead we were just talking about how bad he was running a few minutes ago now here is my lead Mike but he really wasn't running that bait he just got passed by a couple cars he's really wasn't running that bad we'll send someone a baby out of the pit [Music] branches oh no the ratchet wrench they made a big chassis of jumpin and Allah [Music] down to the socket and you have to pull it straight up and all the way to get it out very small [Music] [Music] and then to get back up to speed awfully tough day today this nothing seems to go right right stop left it hanging in the car NASCAR Black Flag who brought him back in [Music] I'll talk about strategy the driver who has not been on pit road for tires since lap 92 is on a lap by himself Bill Elliott kyle petty closing it but Eliot summertime is not by itself came upon darrell waltrip well hi he goes there with the fresh tires on cows fairway it won't be long til he's got company now these cops came sooner than the first round of pit stops under green as if when one car came in four tires everybody else came in to get fresh rubber I think what happened Mike they watched her again harry was about a fifth place car when he made his first hit stop so early had the French part and ran so fast before it laughs an emblem because we had precious tires he found himself a second position only about five laps behind Kyle Petty's so I think everybody watched it went to school on it that's why you saw him getting a lap back from Bill Elliott well they leave Elliot out there because the car [Music] run away let's find out from what Jarrah [Music] you can see they are getting ready for the pitstop it's gonna be a four-tire change [Music] [Music] he's in a very very good position right now [Music] [Music] [Music] the aerodynamic on enhancement come back [Music] dragged on until he would down put us back in the pits and two or three seconds let's go back to Glenn's here people [Music] like a lineman who just missed the key block Rick baths on pit road and that's his third stop of the day it comes at last 187 here in the Goodwrench 500 Kyle Petty were running back to the front we'll have more right after these two of the fastest cars in this race have fallen victim to the same problem first Davey Allison and now what happened on the Elliot pitstop see the guy on the right rear of the car in uniform put wedge in the car take and was out whichever maybe the drop the jet take off fill carries him three or four pits down a couple tips down could not be eight heat as you mentioned earlier Mike he has to pull that ratchet long extension straight up out of there and obviously he was hanging on for dear life he couldn't do it so bill had to consequently had to come back in the pit let's go down to grungier we went to early le to find out what happened there what could possibly cause that problem come the radio said go go go he wasn't ready now who keeps the bail she was sitting back here has started moving the gas cans around all the equipment after pit stop somebody knocked her I was crawling backwards lucky she didn't get a bad infant just like I'm down here with Johnny Robinson just handling a cop said he's been using the spam orifice is a competition right now in the Kyle he's running so well we're really concerned about is cause the lap times drop off so my dear knew the racetrack and we're forward of gods are watching the lap times one gas mileage you feel good about that strategy is going perfectly so far right now everything's going fine okay that's it from here take it away stop here's the flipside Jimmy Baker is never lonely in the test because Rusty Wallace talked constantly on the radio what is he saying what does he think about the competition in front of you so far things going pretty good he carved the handling real well so right now we kind of ride it out trying to keep calling got him in sight the time to do something with that laptop was magnificent anyway it could have been better yes always be better you know I thought we tried for to get better better every week all right back in there kyle petty up front in the Goodwrench 500 where he's been just about all day Rusty Wallace is second to Pontius leading a Chevrolet of Ken Schrader a Buick a Brett bowtie on the Chevy of Ernie Irvan goes in the front five Bill Elliott arrogant little further back after right along with Gerald Walter that's the windshield beginning of a streak up a little bit it really is [Music] the way she'll get there very very difficult to see but with an overcast day that the Sun is not a problem and here goes [Music] Walter [Music] back into the corners out of turn one we've done all he can do to try to get back hard that's the Mickey gift Farley [Music] side on a string and here's the derrick coke car in trouble [Music] all cracks and crevices obviously a carburetor fire so the crew is working on a trying to get something done taking the air cleaner off now but Derrick and out of the race car and apparently penny for the day will talk to him if we can get over doctor [Music] and that car catches fire once again our crews are there yeah okay here's Jericho fear okay Derek what the broth got tires on the car and I come back they start catching on fire don't know what happened but what happened with the racecar fire just caught the carburetor car party did you cut it down to get it in the pit I don't know growing up back for anyway started smoking to built the car up so I know is on fire didn't know how which are your tough break for Derek open run a well Rick Wilson that who dumped on by rusty welcome drive devolver brother don't you live [Music] really they'll tell you that's Kyle Petty to the far left to your screen right there Mike if you can we pay it back that's rusty wall from the inside a retro rookie no father black car I think Rusty Wallace is fetching from a lady for the first time today it looks like somebody's faster than and the gap is now 2.4 seconds there are simpler tires so right now we're comparing apples apples rusty had 40 40 laps in at Firestone we could say well he's got fresher tires but but they're they're on as you mentioned with it for about two spinning at the same time so now we've got a good shot at seen if anybody can around with a pallet finish and they've got Brett bowtie now Ernie Irvan and BIP bill [Music] that's going to do good things for a race driver when he's chasing somebody down boy sure does suspect was sent from atop the green black nobody's been able to - all jumpy right now you've got that killer instinct trying to get back out ladies with college best era Walters and now rusty is cocktail [Music] the backs of cotton array stuff we'll see we'll get another was there from the runoff potential pathway [Music] officially two laps down the race leader Kyle Petty two point two seconds so in wallet is catching Kyle Petty and here's Harry Gant the start to pit road procedure once again at lap 207 Gannett in for his third green flag stop of the day [Music] second Kenny Schrader's the third place car Brentford I'm in for fifth is Bill Elliott [Music] Morgan Shepherd and a learner [Music] Brett Bodine very awfully good pitched up so far how Brett say of the car he's doing right now you don't have a real lot of complain man it's just that for new card making I think for once not getting the best gym [Music] ten or fifteen laps earlier than like Tao and that gives us about a 15 to 20 second advantage back on the racetrack on good time the work was going to be the key you guys have done a great job today here in the physical yeah I mean it fell lucky for us while ago we hit it in the caution come out in the pack slow down enough the only well they're satisfied so far but they having a lot of trouble keeping up with that [Music] next time he comes around it's gonna be a spot further back Bill Elliott just put the move on Brett Bodine and that will change fourth place [Music] saina move past rich bickle the Wisconsin driver to reel him in we're approaching the halfway point of the Goodwrench 500 and we'll be back with more on TNN right after this kyle petty fights to put ernie irvan one lap down Rusty Wallace is there and somebody else may lead this before the break he was like two almost two and a half sex behind here he is right on his bumper so definitely isn't right exactly the right thing at the right time Irvin is trying to stay on the lead lap and he is holding off Kyle Petty in the four car to look how her and he sweeps up the racetrack the leader is underneath the buyer not quite run with get by the four o'clock catch back up is the sixth place far kyle petty the race leader Rusty Wallace right on his bumper four seconds ken Schrader runs third life Walter the top ten [Music] at that distance the back bumper left 42 looks kind of wide you know we talked earlier to show that Felix needed to tell Powell to slow down to get off TV well maybe just listen the baby feels over could be here Steve hoping to see Rusty Wallace kick up the lead to me you got the lead [Music] you got the lead number one oh yeah we're just gonna have to pace ourselves to the left now well he's still like that anyway the thing [Music] the back bumper roughly Wallace's car first time we've seen this shot of tile pet [Music] side by side without Betty so that's their fifth place car that is now going down the last ones took up wind for a Roger Penske racecar the 1975 southern 5 part of it green [Music] man the penny was bleeding was leading that race after a rain delay in grant busan water and hit the wall that allowed the bales to once here is Kenny Schrader and Schrader is the third place car for cars now Oh Mike I'm with Richard Bromley just checked the lodge and Kenny Schrader sitting back there in first place I thought what what do we got in to watch Richard [Music] well I'll tell you what Rusty Wallace is showing some real trick right now but Kenny just hang it in there and only about seven seconds vacuum have you found out your tire probable to be assaulted yet tight all day we can loosen it up [Music] while we've been watching so let's keep our eye on 25 let's go to go early Eliot keeping a watchful eye on brother bill out there Ernie despite all the problems he's had here in the pit he'll still doing a tremendous job on the racetrack [Music] the cars running real good while we were away then we were watching them file down the edges on this ratchet wrench though we make sure that that problem doesn't happen again [Music] Gudrun here to fight that one small mr. Vieau on pit row Ernie Irvan is on pit road as watch Eliot circulate they alert our to lap down there's earned hard to get Dick Trickle on tiptoe and in the garage here today the championship team for 1990 and for several times operates out of wealth of North Carolina and Richard Childress is huge and immaculate prepared race shot be hard to find a friendlier place than welcome north carolina plymouth Childress Racing in the number-three day learn I've driven Chevrolet four-time Winston Cup champs engines they've got 20 them [Music] and racecars to put those engines in watch the racecar and a manual not found in most stock car shop it belongs to Bobby Hutchins chief in-house engineer you see Childress Racing is the only team currently building their cars from absolute scratch other team fights semi completed cars and finish them to their own spec Richard Childress fabricated an King earth and crew chief Churchill merdeen collaborate with Hutchins on the design our main philosophy here is we feel like we can keep the quality of the workmanship here in-house a lot better than what we can buy yeah a purchase chassis outside we can also control straightness of the chassis some secrets is you may call it it's how we do things here as well as keep safety which is probably our main goal our most recent generation car here is a car that we've built in the last I guess six over the last six months that Richard hurt myself and Dan King and who builds the cars came up with its to actually strengthen the car so that we are allowed to a combat your shots and Springs for a regular tire more and it's our Rockingham car which you see here now that we will be competing with it rocketing this coming weekend hard to believe but all that raw tubing will ultimately form a 200 mile per hour chevy lumina after thousands of hours of bending welding and hand fabrication when you build them yourself not only can you keep your secret secret you also know them like your own children in some cases maybe even better for instance the car in behind us is a woman ran in the Daytona 500 it took a little bump on the left front and with this car here we we can put it back within a thousandth of what it left the shop at we've got all of our drawings and our blueprints and we can just come back and put the car in exactly like it was before it left Richard is not quick to retire a car sometimes racing again a two or three year old model that seems perfectly suited to a particular track Dale won the Busch clash this year in an old Monte Carlo rescanned is aluminum a look at the children here is Dale Earnhardt's car by the way Bobby Hudson's not just an engineer but a pretty fair modified stock car driver as well here's Brock gates in the children's pit okay let's talk to the man we've done two one lap down but Dale starting to show some strikes now as we approach that way we're just going to keep working with a car and radically what happened with a race like this with this kind of a caution setup husband out now can he get that lap back well right now rescues now run in real will we still don't have a car right gonna be okay welcome okay well keep working on it okay well you know Blackie a start for all that preparation and building of the cars that they do back home in the shop sometimes these days you have to do stuff here at the racetrack you can see all these front-end components on this board here times doing ball joints tie rod end connectors and so forth these things are all here in case somebody has a wreck they can replace replace the stuff on the car getting back out on the racetrack without a great loss of time as we move up a little bit here you can see also the front windshield these guys new changes with you in about 30 seconds or less so they've come prepared as well from the shop and the repairs we repair the course on the racetrack due to lift they're ready at any time for any given situation and you chat Saturday night short trackers take note those parts aren't just stacked all in a box they're arranged with high wraps on a board where you can find the right parts when you need it back up

brought to you in part by the more than 550 autozone stores across america autozone the right part at the right price rain clouds moving back into the North Carolina Motor Speedway area at Rockingham in the Sam Hills is Kyle Petty leads Rusty Wallace ken Schrader Ernie Irvan behind Harry Gant they're in for spot until Elliot is six after pit stop then Brett Bodine Ricky Rudd Dale Jarrett and Jeff photons from first to second 1.9 second from Kyle Petty back to us to all now the spotters each team has a radio spotter up on top of the roof snap says are approaching and makeup this one short for the 492 lat we get one lap in even if you had a boat for a fake car I'll tell you Mike he would think that two teachers tell these guys they go [Music] 20 years ago you had a lull in each Winston Cup race for the cars would run single-file and everybody was kind of let's thinking short out and you could coast in the lap times the drop back up is not anymore look at how hard Kyle Petty is running the bike Waltrip car to try to get him a lap down and move on past he's running him like it's the last lap of the race I think what he's trying to do is get fit ahead of those cars gets them between him and Rusty Wallace Mike Waltrip is the 13th place car Jeff oh nine right there - in number 11 rocky when I come down here then the Kyle Petty pet and there is some concern here though although as I said earlier zekrom see Gary Nelson is up acting as the spotter today he has not yet called down the warning array so you have not heard about anything that rain problem Donnie didn't he is you haven't heard anything about the drain problem Gary haven't said anything about it right yeah I mean nobody said nothing so right now we're defend the run apart [Music] okay they're down must all join right date that is going over the good Dean for earlier you don't need to be willing shot give up the pail there's some rain in the area and he's crafting anything get engaged is gonna get that Norman brush they just come down [Music] thank you [Music] the job of rigging that car back up to fifth that is exactly right they're all running so hard that you just can't run any harder their tongues are hanging out 277 laps are up if the race were to stop and be unable to be restarted today it would be a complete event since we passed the halfway point Dale Earnhardt this time he's got the trailer he hooked onto the back of Ernie Irvan not for long it looks like Dale Earnhardt Dale Jarrett both looks like look like they'll be able to move by the 4 car Irvin pitted at lap 225 some 50 laps ago so he'll need to be a cool don't know whether he can make it on one more stop I don't think you can be fit to 20 more laps that will be the bot the 300 lap mark we could go roughly another 90 laps that would be 390 so you've got to make at least two more pit stop urban is the six showing him now in ninth place in the running order but he's been well up as a top 10 most of the day you see a couple of crew members they're putting jackets on it's getting a little cooler and windier in the pits here's glass that's right they're looking at the weather situation now and Bruce what points out their choice where where where just the weather coming from we can see it looks like it's coming from the east now see he's poor Krusty was feeling a little bit of a ho but there definitely is weather coming around it so these guys are gonna have to set some strategy concerning what they're gonna do with this weather it won't be long before the raindrops will be falling absolutely right Glenn the weather is coming out of these that's Louie the window coming that black throughout this room is multiple [Music] [Music] thanks a lot okay Mike Harrigan is on pit road at lap 280 they've been stopping every 70 laps rocky well Steve I'm in the same situation Broderick control that's concerned with getting traitor Richard it as he said you're probably aware that we gotta front cometh back in on us then this shredder rain increases by the minute any other trucks that got to running parties again [Music] while you keep what rain tires on so you just got to run as hard as long as it's dry right well if now what we're thinking in other words we're looking at the window and pull one out here you wouldn't dare jump here to put on a fresh set of rubber just a spritz he pour the rain comes down Whittier would that not pay off for you okay big gamble coming up here for everybody Mike [Music] Pontiac coming up in his rearview mirror as Rusty Wallace closes in on the leader five hunters live on PNM [Music] while we were away Ernie Irvan made a pit stop of scheduled one and run 500 live on CNN [Music] we're away Ernie Irvan made a pit-stop of guess who won and Rusty Wallace the man you're riding with now has been attacking the feel like buckaroo banzai he put a move on Sterling Marlin and Dave Marcus went right to the bottom of the racetrack to get him let's look at the leaderboard Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace now just a few car lengths apart Kenny Schrader in third Phil Elliott fourth triple nine great run for Brett today in the fifth position there Sterling Marlin slowing down up in turns three and four now this would be a bit early for a scheduled stop he was in at lap 255 just some 40 laps ago I would take more than likely it's it's an engine problem the way he's shut it off over there but he's obviously not out of fuel Marlon was posting there through one and two and we'll try to make it around a pit road and the my teepee Rusty Wallace as Rick Wilson he's working against [Music] that's all that separates him from race leader Kyle Petty Mike beam comes over the wall and under the hood but not too big a hurry my sigh I would think of it the edge of this proper set off and they're just gonna look at see see maybe if they could do something quick but the does you know they look for maybe the pole water fell off but more than likely it's something more serious than that maybe the coffee's ready 290 lat [Music] a lot of right there whether for me wallet [Music] that's Kapadia [Music] push Marlins car to the garage where he will join Hillenburg Labonte and Spencer lot of family fifth bill beach in the Jeff Burton the cata gas that is one of two there's brett bowtie on the fifth place car drag racers Kenny Bernstein in this Buick and Rick mast about to pull around as load I'm comes on pit road to Steve Evans 26 feelings of Brett Bodine you know as far as that rain situation is concerned this kind of catches these guys at a bad time they were fifth on the race party they've got a pre it doesn't rain they can run this thing to the finish I get no cavea just really get a guard maybe pulling the strategy that brought Yeats enquired of Richard broom about the trader car it's only been some fifty laps since Brett Bodine was on pit road 53 to be exact so they put on fresh tires try to do some chasing down before the rain fight come but it's a very short run on a tank of gas for him it sure is he may figure that this race only has eight or 90 laps to go figured he's going to have to make another pit stop anyway so if eyes won't do it early let's go down the pit the clincher broke something two motors Nikki oh no warden slowed up going it wonder wonder all dissipated so the problem good [Music] positions right now what was your time where like call feel good to mate you touch on the loose side powers they'd be picking up better we're just hanging there what rien the tough break for Marlon is he was third in the whoop suka points and he's going into this race and now he will drop well back into the top ten Marquart makes a pit stop schedule one he went 67 laps on that last tank and set a fire Dale Earnhardt up against Kyle Petty and that allows Wallace beautiful penny quit still had another lab towel that puts Dale Earnhardt two laps down the double checked out with scoring he should be I believe to lap down correct finding a vp time getting past and here again is right there mix it up Alan Kulwicki ninety-seven and go Whitney went 65 laps on this last here again has relatively fresh tires he put it on my food so his tires go about he should be able to spatula the wallet [Music] the outside of her dart and with a wave wraps it down and goes past Gowanus resumed his pursuit of leader Kyle Petty

going on as you can see they've got a pit stop coming up around lap 350 that's their next scheduled stop they are totally under control they've been that way all day long everything is done exactly the way they planned resuming it will go that way the rest of the way they're not concerned about the rain they're not gonna change their strategy they're just going to keep trucking along as they've

he would think that they would save that car Baraka that car race 12 times last year it was almost destroyed at Bristol in a night race they got the front and the rear clip off the car and again in October and then come back here rocking ammeter dominating again kyle petty with quite a car for this racetrack same car one was here last year the boys it bent bent and battered around ever since in that Goodyear has over 2,000 racing radials here at Rockingham you might think well they probably brought a lot of unused tires down from Richmond that is not the case so Homer of Goodyear each track demands its own tire designed specifically for it that's correct the tires we brought here from Rockingham are made especially for Rockingham and this is the only place that we run them now that you know under the new pit rules that guys are gonna go out and run far more miles on his headed tires have you changed the engineering on that tire at all not really are designed to begin with is to make tires that will run more than a pit stop sometimes two pit stops we try to get that safety factor in there so people wouldn't have to worry about it now what happens to the tires you don't mount here this weekend I will save them for the fall and run them in October here Rockingham see you then right so Homer there was Goodyear as we watch Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace that's the separation first a second four cars on the lead lap at lap 313 [Music] get Schrader in third dress code I the top five [Music] Venna Terry Gannon Earnhardt Walker Ernie Irvan out of the race the attrition has most

up against Ricky Rudd yep bowtie [Music] nervous few on pit road to talk to Mustafa go penalty to remove the ratchet very strong right gerrae you got yourself another young we're caught tight Gordon I don't know what is the tired or the breakfast a car seemed to run far too tight and then he loosen up the races don't be over I think okay I'm with Andy Petree in hurry hideous not exactly been an ideal remember you guys a mix in and all kinds of trouble but stuff you're only one lap down here visiting fight [Music] some guys are talking about some threat of rain but the problem doesn't seem to be a parent right now so you're not going to change your gravity [Music] okay will help fuel tires Ricky's where are we next octane for that for that we could make it - right now God whether to go with four talk to Rick and see what is inside where you can feel that gunshot of the back this morning that it was going to turn around and be able to get the race down to thank God he did let me go back to work thank you I don't think anybody did in fact 25 minutes to race time there weren't any tires lined up behind the football and nobody was ready to go racing but there's ricky rudd soldiering along in fifth spot one lap back TNN live coverage of the Goodwrench 500 continues after this [Music] back live at the Goodwrench 500 riding along with Rusty Wallace in second place as he

compartment they've made repairs bloody parrot Bob with the crew and Derrick gulp it back up to pile up the whoopin gunpoint croc eggs Ivan with Richard Childress news and the drop weekend record yesterday it kind of missed the setup and today it just can't seem to get a handle on that race car if two laps down here selling us out then but I know you got to become employment you know so we don't never like rock you you come back work harder yeah we give up on the day you just gotta keep digging come down here with a setup in mind that work or wasn't something that does one of those weekends well we tried different stuff they don't thing to me [Music] good Richard ok let's go to see things are very quiet in the rusty waters that everything is kind of on cruise control right now but it's ironic lucky driving a Pontiac with the double brother you'll have life [Music] and air conditioning and cruise control and maybe a little Mike people he's got just a bigger gas back maybe bigger they learn hard the last one [Music] I think really like were straight stuck and we saw the feature earlier Bobby Hutchinson's engineer talking about the client something new it's their latest design that they've been working six months that's here at Rockingham but I say they'll probably take it back then we'll be back on the drawing board for some more work the man who's in a position to take over the witness two-point lead is Ricky Rudd who came in here in second place 20 points behind Earnhardt rod is currently running in the fifth position though Earnhardt is seventh and if they finished took the way the running now Dale would retain the point leader okay Mike you know there's a lot at stake out here for both Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace Kyle Petty by virtue of Wayne Nicole had the champion winning a boater to the of around $70,000 from unical Rusty Wallace on the other hand if he could win the race right now he could he could get out what a circle that's worth about $250,000 over the course of the year right now he's not out any kind of a car owners plan because it's a brand-new team if he can went the race and he'll be eligible to win a circle that will be almost a quarter of a million dollars Wallace with a new team and a new car number did not pick up where the Raymond beetle team left off last year you're watching Ricky Rudd who is he in the fifth position just a lap behind race leader Kyle Petty 333 laps complete in the Goodwrench 500 and the Goodwrench 500 you see those high clouds back up above the North Carolina Motor Speedway they are depth but they are higher than the rain clouds we had here early this morning so the weather still in question as both Dale Jarrett and Morgan Shepherd abate pit stops which brought a green flag racing what crew chief said you can't predict the weather so you just run as hard as you can kyle petty upfront rusty Wallace's second Ken Schrader third Bill Elliott is fourth and last down Ricky Rudd he is the fifth place car back in six Harry Gant Earnhardt Mike Walter bourbon and Brett Bodine rounding out the top ten with one lap down you don't like they talk about Lorenzen are the old all-time great seats to call The Weather Service and he always knew when it was gonna rain so he was he was far enough to keep G enough to be in the lead when that happened well I'm not sure how spread Lorenza never knew because I've never seen a meteorologist on TV that knew exactly what the weather was gonna do great job when you could be wrong more than half the time I'm still show up for work on Monday morning baby allison is in the fits as you watch leader kyle petty 3:40 of the 340 laps today Kyle Petty as domination that is depressing for Davey Allison his fourth stop of the day the war tire down goes the jacket no was taking that as a signal actually I think description did you have to take a pic top to take the ratchet out you're right the penalty here Kenny Schrader's third place cars craters and equipment on one here today for Richard Freeman team will be his pit stop at a fourth stop of the day [Music] [Music] with one more twist with tires becoming more and more thicker in this racetrack the topper straighter though it won't cost him a whole lot of track time he'll lose a lap to the race leader zone and is the door by the green flag fitted Ted Musgrave the rookie out there on and getting some valuable track time here as a battle style petty in car 55 bucks Mustard's got the DK our car last year by Rick mast used to be number two people people familiar with the bean cart number 2 for st Wallace wanted Roger Penske Bonaparte the big boss at number two detail work out to quit now he's not tired to the 55 with Hut Stricklin scar to have a chat we'll be that much greater you notice have you been listening to rusty venture straightaway into the throttle later later in turn to that they are in turn for listen for him to pick it back up turn for widened doubted that we shave flyover he's out of there Kenny Schrader's went past waiter lap down but on fresh tires keeps away obviously Kenny Schrader was on the throttle and press tires you can do that there's not a greater feeling in the world Mike than having fresh tires I mean you go out there you can you can be the 20th best car there you go out there you drive by the leader like he's tied to a post make a gift just did that to leader style petty you're rocking on Mike as you can see they're all set for trial petty to committed eight probably gonna be a second the last pit stop here obviously prepared the pit board standing out he'll be in in a second Kyle Petty whistles down the back straightaway and in the turn number three and that Felix Abati's machine here Steve ever [Music] psyching themselves up but are expected in have had any second now they are going to take on four alright let's go down the road apparently the five cars coming again Wilson let's see him for ricky rudd Donnie this aroun coming on around to get those tires around the left side of Aires Chris finished his Gaston and now Kyle Petty is on pit road the race leader in the man who has led most of this race and Rusty Wallace is coming right in with him here's Ron [Music] go to the wall and then work here beautifully choreographed confusion that is an answer Winston Cup Nick stop okay right sidecar no chassis adjustments to start behave quality [Music] the doorman a little bit further than the last time well will he be from back out of the bed and Rusty Wallace sitting at lap 347 and both are back on the Speedway Bill Elliott and Darrell Waltrip are now back in for their scheduled stop the Elliott boy 348 walker ball so they're at 348 here [Music] [Music] apparently was all right I'll tell you what [Music] well it also Steve his pit is right across with a nascar control tower they had a good look right down that front line it is their call whether or not the car is over that one wasn't now here for hairy gas pit stop strategy gets a little off kilter with everybody else if he now fill one stop behind I think he has made an extra pit stop but but now he's in the same sync with everybody everyone else everyone on the racetrack unless we get rain we'll have to make one more pit stop that is the fifth stop for Harry Gant today well Deb is the right rear with Richard Petty the brought out the caution flag well before halfway back laughs 459 that was the third caution today we've only had three [Music] is back in front and now they learn are there 3:51 [Music] here is the Goodwrench crew going to work rocky okay we're down here with get that great stock back in the tree don't Jesse James on this one so apparently they're going to live with what they've done and just keep struggling onward moody brought walking away from the catch can - shaking his head no what if they got all the gas in there they wanted who'd ever cut the gal from here Mike there is a mob scene around there Dale stuff go of course [Music] here's flattering checked out here's Ernie Irvan back on pit road once again Robert Larkins at put ballot engine those right-side tires for Tony Glover screw but to carry the tire to the position the jack let's look it around Morgan was doing that card they thought that Jerry Puckett's job usually with Wayne Baldinger stock [Music] the caution flag days went up the two leaders charges raped each other in the pit stop to come back out almost to the same sequence pretty neat moment here / after a lot of early race confusion there the which is not normal for this pretty much routine [Music] [Music] well I noticed it's the last time he was found a chassis adjustment made for the car must be pretty much the bills right we're just you know we made a college supply to get [Music] I think you could handle it if you got that cost we closed the gap [Music] that's a famous Eliot line wait and see and that's the way they play it they do the best they can and see how things play out on the racetrack Kyle Petty as a rearview mirror rapidly filling up with Rusty Wallace right now he has daddy in his rearview mirrors maybe maybe agenda to hold up Rusty Wallace and therefore fifth place there again is gone past Ricky Rudd can't changing pitstop sequence there and he is on a bit fresher tires everything that is for disposition update you on the weather closed and accepted weather back at us fortunately that opened up a hole in the clouds do we got some sunshine and we're able to get this race running the flags are blowing from north south and west [Music] we find the clouds [Music] we will try to stay green to supply right out straight trying to get this one to run all the way the conclusion 409 you're riding with Rusty Wallace down kyle petty on PNM's exclusive live coverage of the good rats 500 at the Goodwrench 500 365 laps complete Allen Poe we watched the darrell waltrip star this is for position welcome and Morgan Shepherd for in 13th place laughs back of the race leader Brett Lodi now also in the pit lane trying to move along side the 15 to Morgan Shepherd they are battling for 13th and now we're up with baby Allison and just a bit further back was on the same lap right arm just a bit and we'll go up front there's a look in the baby elephants car because Rusty Wallace has caught Kyle Petty three-wide they squeeze it down the front straightaway tries to get a lap back [Music] brought right behind the leaders say whatever he went away to that commercial break there was about a second differential and now as you can see Rusty Wallace has taught that closed that up he's right on top of penny until you lucky wants to get the leader [Music] Herbert forth and arrogant Chevrolet Ricky right there in sixth position Brett Bodine was seventh - petah pit stop 300 [Music] petty you're leading the race how much does that affect the way your car run and affect the way you paint this is where you're going when you've got somebody like walls just hot on your tail like that I say [Music] to watch to make sure rusty doesn't dust to the outside or to the inside so even if he does to the outside of the corner that pretty picture probably Washington's bear right now about 50% decline all right next question if rusty passes here for the lead in the grand scheme of things with still 122 laps to go is that a big deal it's not too big a deal I don't think maybe psychologically somewhat but you know if the guys were thinking about hey it might rain and obviously he's not gonna want obviously he doesn't have 121 labs your honor 22news I have left so he may say hey we need to stay up front he's a does Lane he squeezes by the number 13 times and Wallace remains right there they lap passed to the Mike Skinner car [Music] 447 and 450 so rusty I'll say what I don't see what he missed yet but I don't know why it isn't really [Music] well you can see for the first time that there's some concern on the face with the table heading through Vivek Nevada watching intently from pop top and I have been trying to laugh I Bobby Hamilton and Richard Petty Kyle uses dad as a pic and both top Rusty Wallace Bobby Hamilton the rookie doing a good job there and the old foe the leaders go by mark mark right behind watch out for mark because these just made a pit stop at the number six car and he's on fresh fire so intrepid I'm Wilfred mr. Wallace made with that part part or a witness Park park beside of me to get back crowd trick marked contrast tires can open the door underneath Kyle Petty rusty could crap fall through strategy plays out here at night 374 to 22 degree banking 25 up at the other end and you have Martin Martin polite we had a camera Kyle shark he was fighting that wheeled rusty okay we had a camera shot of Davy else entirely and he wasn't fighting the wheel clearly as hard as with the wall he looked like he was out of my sunday afternoon ride for Rusty's look looks like you squat be now Richard Petty a smooth path mark mark the mark will not be able to come up and open the door for Rusty Wallace maybe Richard said he can come up and open the door almost open up the buffer on Rusty's car there Richard dropped to the inside he will take over the point from wallet in pursuit of Kyle Petty we talk about the deficit of 500 before don't you think the rugby is can open the door up on his son so that around enriches for the rusty to get through maybe fretboard I will do it okay riff there's a lot of crap that to work with how he's got he's got five cards of the twenty and Kyle Petty regret boat I'd has just moved in in the green car the last half truck Tripler moments ago he was right on top yes 5,000 they have been chained Kyle Petty's dominated this race much as he did last year before NASCAR's who fit rules came into effect I think this race despite the new pit rules looks a lot like last year's race I think it really does the only difference is you have Rusty Wallace that's that's able to keep up with Kyle Petty laughter you didn't have anybody listen to public mouthing say who's busier today the pit crews Rick bass just came in for his sixth green flag pit stop as will those all these before that was no help to Rusty Wallace but going up and around the outside the second-place car there's tile coming down the front straightaway and it's the way back to Rusty Wallace now let's check in with peeve Evan you're lucky to the last four tires that will ultimately go on to Rusty Wallace are one reason they can make the tire change so quickly first of all they clean the lock not home early with solvent then you can see one driven here reassembling the like that now they'll use epoxy and they will this apartment is not that I will endeavor but once again that rich hasn't kills Bennett a lot of luck cuts in each pit when you consider a 10 set too tired for recessed five 381 lat toons ride with Rusty Wallace he is still chasing Kyle Petty [Music] changing tires and all the mad scramble goes on when the cars come in good look at these guys they can work during the courts the rain somebody so we've got the mount and dismount these things now forty competitors times 25 that's a good time they got a lot of guys working in here that's a lot of work we've been here for about me a minute these guys close down yeah so you know when you go to digitize for the next time you can't get them to push the button a little bit do the same kind of service you get here at Rockingham Speedway there are easier ways to break into racing at 398 here's the way around town kyle petty the race leader four cars are awfully loud we've had ten lead changes and there's that record average lead so far add Asia by only three caution flies stars out of the race tomorrow retirees that garage area is pretty empty 250 the pillar garden dominated here but as he did one year ago Kyle is in a Pontiac the brand didn't work the last three good rs500 they're going for four in a row there's Bill Elliott for trying to spoil that strength the last time the Pontiac nameplate won a particular event four times in a row great field tells us with the firecrackers 250 not 400 [Music] it's been a while there's tea better we've got videos there also videos video camera that you do that [Music] unit now the reason I do this is for scoring purposes and it's not just but whatever that could be a tight race with a [Music] Oh Mike I've gotten somewhere down here from the Kyle Petty crew that they think that Rusty Wallace is through and lifting to the tienen Pelican it is maybe they say we know a whole lot more them then they can actually find out but maybe we ought to ask Steve Evans about town as far as I know nobody's got a monitor down here I don't think [Music] this is a rocket flight yes now that's not true I don't think they have cable in the car either watching Kyle Petty he's the race leader there is Bill Elliott just ahead of him support place car it's very possible like that could be right a lot of the race fans have scanners go to the team they monitor each other and the Dropcam try to get a little extra inside of us going out on the racetrack [Music] they did it on the same blast would let their last week I picked up I thought you wouldn't be able develop the great coming rains not coming down diabetic going faster burning less today right behind ya that on the outside mark mark that's Mike Skinner's car parked behind a logo on the back straightaway the californian who came to Greensboro the first time and racing was sweeping the floor Teddy enterprises he's worked his way up and into I went to cut stock car ride but he is fun to bring out this fourth caution of the day there's the tail end of the replay I'm not sure exactly what happened I wasn't watching Mike but he spends around here I don't think you made me contact with anything so he maybe will be able to get that thing refire to get back into this prey likely that card is going backwards with the car and forward gear Lutz up the engine so it wouldn't refire that's why Skinner's car is stopped it's only the fourth yellow but what a break for Ken Schrader and Bill Elliott when we went to commercial you saw Kyle Petty's car just poking into the picture and about to lap Phil Elliott and Kenny Schrader they were able to come all the way around and stay on the lead lap so it'll be Kyle Petty Rusty Wallace Schrader and Elliott on the lead lap here Steve gas cans in hand and Rusty Wallace has sped up ahead of rusty we see Ernie Irvan his head for fuel as well remember under the rules you cannot change tires on a caution lap unless of course you want a one-lap penalty they can make minor adjustments on the left-hand side however they are looking under ernie irvan's car in the distension I'm not sure exactly what they're doing they had a jack stand out so they can safely crawl under their turban is back in if we wait for Rusty Wallace now NASCAR's the start/finish line is holding Jeff bowtie they are saying that Bodine did not get his lap back before the yellow came out Bodine had just leave made a pit stop now that was a 347 but Bo Ryan was trying to get a lap back at the start/finish line NASCAR says no so they're gonna put him back in line he did just make a pit stop Mike so we didn't write it down but he had just made a pit stop prior to the cost of coming out and I'll tell you what I was watching Geoff Bodine and to me from up here it looks like you beat Kyle Petty back to the line close call but the NASCAR officials make that one I was with you I thought he beat it back to the line but they're saying when the caution came out he was not lined up in front of it they're saying 42 had received the yellow flag a lap before but I haven't raced it back to the line so that's the reason why Jeff has put back there and now we have interesting strategy for 13 on the board 79 laps to go Brett Bodine Darrell Waltrip Bill Elliott Rick Wilson are all in getting gas only they can't take tires during the yellow does this beam they'll go the distance on that same set of tires it sure looks like it might die I can't imagine why there's topic right now unless they plan on going the rest of the way on being on the same tires around right now well here's another thought it takes longer to fuel the car that it does to put on right-side tires they might come back in under green for just right-side tires and make that a 10 instead of a 12 report see second stop yeah but look back to see twenties guys fist they probably only had to take one an issue it you know if they had to fit at lap for 40 something like that they probably only had to take one guest and so you know chances are they they have other ulterior motives right now on their mind we'll try to get our pit reporters to pull some of the leave teams there and check this strategy out as the one lap will go racing here's mine Jerry alright Jeff what I spit I talked to Tim brewer the crew chief they're not at all that said about what happened there the way that Mike Joe explained it is exactly what happened they were trying to race him back they took the caution actually to lap before so he did not beat them back to the fly there's no grief or consternation anything down here they're completely happy with NASCAR's column I think they'd like to be a lap further up on the field but Jeff's done a good job today double-check and see where he runs we're showing him unofficially in the 15th position here more cars on the lead lap and now they're saying Harry Gant is on a lap I handed off in 5th place she lapped back now Ricky Rudd Mike Waltrip and Ernie Irvan relapsed down the old Jarrett Darrell Waltrip four laps back ernhardt Morgan Shepherd and Brett Bodine along with mark partner the four lead car on the lead lap are lined up in the high lane 42 is Kyle Petty - is Rusty Wallace 25 there is Ken Schrader and you'll see the nine up Bill Elliott and we'll take this restart Wallace's car second to third gear on the front straightaway fourth gear and Jeff chloride is going to flip the leader as they go into one [Music] arrogant went fast and Kenny Schrader's got locked behind rusty but to fight off Vallely after third place there's the blue Carvelli inside of us it looked at me like that it does she has to build up some rubber built up on his car he went down the corner would not turn but he looked a lot better than exporters I think you'll pay now moving up the deal with hair again and Bill Elliott still side by side with Rusty Wallace that's perfect orders coming to the front that break he got my back pocket by coming out Dehlia they imported turned turned her cheek on Eliot's when that ratchet got stuck in the car but now she's smiling on him he got a definite break with the timing of the caution came right up now to challenge ruff two seconds ahead here unlock right there but another lap down Dale Jarrett on Twitter over in life 4:18 [Music] the rear bumper Nadia [Music] providing ricky rudd just drop down off the banking 4:19 for his laptop a couple different strategies here Mike we saw several guys come in on the cosplay and several guys not taking advantage of the green flag becoming a good tire right side for ricky rudd here's Rocky here with ricky rudd crew as they were chronically - just outrace going back once again a final stop all doors on is going [Music] otherwise Ernie Irvan is in Davey Allison Rick Wilson [Music] for their final stop we'll go back to the race for second place Rusty Wallace bill Elliot here Steve ever just cut down on the wall [Music] right now try the coordinators truth let's go down to glance [Music] [Music] like a while ago can you handle Kyle now earning shoulders I don't know they're not saying a whole lot always dirty Elliot's attitude as well you just gonna have to wait and see I got an idea they got a little bit left and they're gonna be able to challenge for this one here traitor is the white car on your screen and apparently he doesn't have the best setup on this round of green flag racing made it back just a bit at over three and a half second lead from how I put it now Morgan Shepherd on pit road someone amazing before the caution fight we had basically we had Rusty Wallace right on Kyle Petty's bumper nothing changed the caution came out and with the reef they restart the race rusty went high and one turn all of a sudden now he's over three and a half seconds five one is fall miscue and look what it can possible [Music] wallace's buffer cam you learn artists are immediately [Music] for under 25 laps complete as Darrell Waltrip comes to the pit lane the Goodwrench 500 after this [Music] this is Kyle Petty the third-generation driving the star from around the North Carolina enjoying a three point four second lead now both rusty walls and Kyle Petty coming the kids they last pitted on lap 347 so we're talking about in almost 80 laps to go over 80 laps ago so they'll be coming any time when we've got Ken Schrader right now on the pitch caution flags out final stop pennytrader is the I know Arcana their economy starting to get a little tired you better we've got a caution now so this is going to change the complexion although as you can see the Kyle Petty crew right next door I'll pay much attention to it they're very [Music] I would imagine within the next six but they loved any traitor get back underway unconcerned but they are ready there's no question about that Baracus deserves a bit of explanation daddies was on pit road under the green when that caution flag came out so he is eligible to complete the tire change as if the entire pit stop was made under the green flag so it is legit there will be no penalty for his changing those tires once the caution came out you're exactly right Mike but he still lost the laughs at the time it took him to do the pit stop so there really it really didn't make much difference to be honest with you brick past has coasted into the garage area so too has Darren Colt and run to this fifth caution of the day here Steve Jimmy may car it's no time to talk to us right now but he told me just moments ago they're gonna come in real zone wouldn't tell me the exact lap number but the real soon he also didn't like the fact that the 25 car essentially just got four free tires you talk about luck when you come in under green and the yellow waves I mean that is good fortune and may be hard to beat there very worried about that 25 car now thank you Steve the caution flag is for Rick mast spin and turn number one and Manson gone to the garage here's lender right we're standing by in their bellies [Music] nossek flags when Rick mast blue going into turn one has that's kind of jumble things up a little bit I talked to Dan Elliot Bill's younger brother and I asked him how the car was and he just kind of laughed he said we're not really sure we don't even know how the driver is so things are still light-hearted down here anyway let's go to Brock game while I'm going to Richard Roehm who's a little bit baffled about this turtle pets he was hard at work on Kenny's car and suddenly the yellow came out so the strategy from here on in and what Richard you know supposedly I got a freebie so I hope there works out that way if it does it might be looking pretty good so you reckon you reckon you're in good shape then yeah I think we're gonna be in good shape okay there's what there's the evaluation from the Kenny Schrader pit what do you think Mike well I think he I think he got a freebie in a way and that that caution came out he got to finish the work on the car and get the tires changed you're exactly right Mike but but as we talked earlier he came he still lost a lap he was in the pits and it takes him 20-some odd seconds to change the tires plus the time it takes him to slow down and to get back up to speed so he lost a lap if he would have stayed out had he not been in the pits when the caution came out if he would have stayed out and made his pit stop after the green came back out he still would have lost a lap so I basically I think it probably is a little bit of an advance here the fact that now he could close up right behind the leader and he will over be exactly one lap down he would have lost a flat a lamp and a quarter to a lap and a half had he done it under the green you're right bill only the three first three cars are on the lead lap style teddy Rusty Wallace and Bill Elliott Schrader is one lap down now Harry Gannon fifth is two laps down and the leader will pit for fuel and for his crew to have a look at the tires they cannot change them 35th but there you can see the bit bored out for calm ready car screeches at first it will only the and that's it he's underway now I talked earlier he was pretty but he said we definitely are going to have to make another stop retire so this changes the strategy down here considerably we thought probably that he continued to go on around and make his stop under green but here comes up again so we're getting some pips top down here but that's an interesting turn of events what do you guys think about it up in the boat well I think this is where Kenny Schrader gets his freebie because now under this caution Kyle has gas but Kenny has gas and tire so he will get his lap back once Kyle Teddy makes his pit stop we're getting set to go back to green flag racing right now 433 laps and up front you see Rusty Wallace Kyle Petty is what is on the lead lap and there is rusty Wallace's crew waiting now they have to go around at least a couple of laps before they can make a pit stop and once we go back to green the first lap no one could fit the second lap cars that started at hot Hubbard position get hit there the third lap of the green car that started this race if Eva coverage positions can fit so Rusty Wallace must weigh three laps way up high and going right to the back did he have the same problem baby in other words because one time I think a the same problem yeah desires and a brother built up on the car some of the street who drive and just Winston when he went to run okay laughs I don't want to fit next time around cars it started in even-numbered position can't come to pit road that includes Kyle Petty it's a sonic food Rusty Wallace for Bill Elliott I begin to think that ken schrader digitally fans for him he's gray they're hard down in for the born of a traitor's back on the lead lap Kyle Petty is on his first opportunity to do so and he takes this rock X is in that pit Freddie in for the final stop here rolling hurt - what car y'okay time very simple food stop [Music] we've got a caution spec to the moon help get it Joe Ruttman and Satan to the wall up there in turn number two the caution is out and now Kenny Schrader has the big dream he has a big creeping him out Kyle Kenny has a freebie Mike he will be a lap down 20 straighter will be in the lead lap with four fresh tires cockpit is going to be in the exact same scenario as Kenny Schrader was prior to the last restart all the drivers in this race penny [Music] the one he has fuel he has prior and she's on overdrive Joe Ruttman were told with I was definitely involved in that question Ricky red may have been also when I looked up Jill ruckman was against the outside wall yeah I had it as ruttman as well we'll get confirmation back forth rather than Ricky Rudd's automobile nevertheless we are under caution 438 laps complete 54 to go they are what's happening here yank I wanna his laps back in that little exchange Mike so he was two laps down now he's only one lap down because he was ahead of Rusty Wallace won a caution it'll be hard to explain to the thousands of fans of his Stan how Kyle Petty has led every lap of this race practically is now one down but it happened as he made that pit stop and then the caution came out they had a caution they went back to green nobody can pit on the first lap and on the second lap Kyle Petty could pit and he did but while he was in the pits the spin-up in turn number two brought the caution out again and file got caught a lap down got Joe Ruttman scar and let's have a look at it [Music] this is a very pale under but he has already spun around it and just brush the outside wall with a left side of the car you can see his crew pulling defenders out they cannot take the tires off due to poll offenders out they have to pull the fenders out with the tires on or else it would be a penalty and it was right when an awkward run doctor caution for 39 three cars now but he is still better off just like Finnish trader he's got four fresh tires providing he's faster than Kenny Schrader's he could get front of him then he gets another caution flag and then he's been he could catch back up but I think now petty will have to have another caution flag football line up right next to Rusty Wallace you're riding with Darrell Waltrip Ricky Rudd just ahead and Rusty Wallace is the leader of this race Kyle Petty is right next to him on the front row just one lap down Bill Elliott the second-place car Ken Schrader his third number 25 in the high lane out of turn number four lowly rusty breaks it down see two laps to go let's see if either the car stick at turn one penny sticks a little bit better he gets back on the lead lap at Morgan Shepherd I've ever seen right now we don't get another caution flag Gator doesn't have trouble I think he wants to write santé previa then he got a big one without there is the leader but for how long still a lot of racing to go 51 laps remain sort out the middle of the pack if you watch wallet he'll get his back in the way up [Music] not going very well at all lucky just waved at her knee earth trying to get her to hook up later it's coming like a house afire and Wallace isn't Kenny Schrader's leads to prey your fever Rusty Wallace is in for the final and most important to stop sublet entire Goodman 500 and the crew knows they know they can go a lap down there [Music] I think they're absolutely right upstairs - Kenny Schrader's is off pretty good the back straightaway Kenny Schrader's is the new race leader your project [Music] I'll tell you why he's looking real good I don't know how there you said there is there's a good strategy to uh to hand all fit strategy see you guys Richard just said he don't know how it happened but he's happy well the way it happened and the way it happens flag pit stop Bill Elliott Assad control [Music] one back out that will move Harry Gant up the leaderboard and pile to a Ken Schrader's this man is looking for his third Winston Cup win - the by ricky rudd and that'll mile petty now short as being back in the lead lap the perfect illustration of what happens when Bill Elliott and Rusty Wallace made their green flag pit stop but they lost you got that believe I the same thing I don't think he is running fast enough and with 50 some-odd laugh to go all the way up the racetrack catch up with you a trader is the absolute right thing for Richard's room is tea manager is right how do you plan to make your pitstop just as the caution comes out she shut that freezer we'll find out four hundred forty nine laps complete I've been on Carolina Motor Speedway we'll be back with more thirty nine laps to go in this cliffhanger at Rockingham Richard Petty has long said I'd rather be lucky than good ken Schrader has been both today he leads this race Kyle Petty is on the lead lap in second Mike Walter as Hendrick Motorsports teammate with Iran I'll tell you my god I want a jinx when straighter if he is going to win this race I mean who laughs green flag run he deserved a witness race too [Music] I'm kind of a dark look on your face - really a set of circumstances that you didn't deserve you ran flawlessly all day perfect wind stop tiles drove an excellent race and suddenly you're here your art [Music] to lose this deal the whole burger was plated for less than the two car to dice it out that work 20 seconds behind the leader and for Rocky's a lap down I think we're gonna have can you run him down without a caution I really don't well there you have it almost a resignation here there the yellow FICA that particular there we go another one brah what how much do you think Felix Abbas would give away another one of those luxury boats to get a caution flag now another old boy they're in Aisle seven [Music] second place is on the lead lap birth control [Music] kewal it's important yeah racism the caution flag I don't think you'll see Richard drill ken schrader or rick hendrick complained about the new procedures breeding anytime soon do you Mike 459 thirty three laps to go ken schrader act well within distance of his fuel load and fire and he has 17 separating himself from Kyle Petty that's all but eternity there's roughly water Carson quiet and Wallace is off the page rusty Wallace's slope with the turn number one go faster upper discard Dick Trickle if I lost a cylinder by density he kept his feet up through the trunk looks like he definitely lost his donut dogs generation you are boys the perhaps pick up a victory here and historically on pit road as do we make our something they can do about that one except to ride it out at this port we'll deal you time it again he's Evans who's down there in the rough do all the field Jimmy make I thought he had a bath right but getting traitor caught that yellow lock the cylinder or what [Music] fun I got somebody's gotta I've got you and your whole crew was laid up in today it was beautiful to watch great effort today well they're not done yet well if she's still going to take a five-minute home for this they will accelerate up off the corner ken schrader leaf Kyle Petty by 17.8 seconds a Schrader seeks to win his first race at the 1989 dollar 500 it was just just a comfortable pace try to stay in a lead lap if he gets a costume right then he has a chance to win he's got the cards up to do it with because he's not kind of catch catch straighter almost impossible I was out of turn number four the start/finish line style there again still 32 lap down seventeen and a half seconds but that's not going to be enough to do it the 27 laps will remain bill Elliot is for that we'll keep tabs on Gant and Elia of media position change there generator just went by Davy rusty but for this man ken schrader and for Harry Gant who's made one more pit stop than anybody else today the sequence the Leo Jackson and team dictator was they stop every 70 laughs no that was that was Ricky Rudd a penetrator right we talked about California if Harry could get around tenth grader in ricky rudd and he gets across the bike then he's back on the lead lap and has a chance to win this race kyle petty gets under Bill Elliott way there of the current floor but Elliot important dollars Harry get one lap down and close him right up on the leader there Schrader there we go been to Victory Lane here in push grindhouse a competition without electrical motor out of turn to guess who Rusty Wallace and he's going to take it down to the apron and post it around he won't there I'm free to go Roka valid broker bells meant something like that Bali the valve drops and that's why you seen them folks I'd say it's certainly come over smoke out the left side of that engine around that'll be all that'll be it for today really tough like rusty put on a hat with no real plan the third race and it makes the heart lucky for the crowd grew the water falls off the leaderboard that should shut off you see the oil pressure gauge at zero there that middle gauge the third from left on the dash and that'll move ricky rudd up onto the board two laps down rug becomes the fifth waste are running right here fair again that's another caution but you never know you know we could have that could have been a question back there for Rusty Wallace fortunately Rusty's far enough he got down out of the groove or the thing did get into him along starts smoking so we didn't have to have NASCAR throw another caution flag but but it could happen just like just like him today on CNN but anything can happen feed on with everything to the water [Music] you know they go by so slow it just seems like the first 300 you know we're just 21 laughs we just hope we can stay there that yellow flag was a beautiful sight for this team yes we didn't know where they caught us in a bad spot it was gonna work brilliant y'all the way we can do it hey hang in there thank you all right let's go down the plunger Danny Boy was a dejected Rusty Wallace rest of you was very fast all day one of the few guys that could actually pass Kyle Petty on the racetrack in contention all day long this got to be awfully disappointing it's real disappointing because this is some of the same problem it had read that I had happen last year and I thought it was cured obviously going to have to change something I don't know what to do the car handle great super pit stops we're just having a problem under the hood again and we're not going to win championships by doing that so we're going to go back for the work we'll be back laces [Music] really it but hey just put that car back on the lead lap getting underneath demonstrator in five fashion now one of the quickest cars in the racetrack I think entry it doesn't matter to him that very game pastor [Music] at this rate want unless he gets the caution flag more than likely if the caution flag comes out petty is probably going to beat it because he's been stronger than him all day so Feeny traitor just ride right now let's go down to Steve Evans Jimmy's greatest live band and I know he's been walking around here with their hands flat a prayer [Music] I've always wondered how you feel with this man you're married to who's miss 200 days a year in a racecar not just Winston tough car driver [Music] we'll see on the winners over the way it's going good luck there's a rumor Kenny as a butler built seats to pull up to the dining room table do Harry Gant has at turn two is out who hope to be the beneficiary of the caution flag is instead the victim but guess who is a beneficiary Mike this race isn't over yet let's have a look here out of turn number two our cameras the back straightaway on this one cats already gone it is another car in there with him looks like Donald Lee that he got together somehow was Dick Trickle and in Iran D what a tough break for Harry he wanted a conscience right Mike but he didn't want to be the ecology seventh caution of the day with success in these closing laps here's a better angle and trickle just comes up it just catches Harry Gant just it's just a tough break now Harry digging hard trying to stay in front of ken schrader hoping for a caution flag and boom there Dick Trickle is I just ran out of racetrack David Pearson was once on the radio to the Wood Brothers he drove their famed red white and gold crew man I think it was led with comes on the radio goes David David he says there's a caution and turned poor David sliding down through the grass of 180 miles an hour he keys the bike and he goes I know it's me today it's Harry again Bill Elliott with the rear deck up here's rock eight okay it's showdown time here with Kyle Petty's crew Donnie suddenly said I got to have a caution he got one now what happened well we rammed it all day but seems like a little ups gone our way do just shoot out now I mean little prayer up stop maybe I mean whatever it takes here we can years old can get hope we just didn't use the tired up too much trying to run him down under the green we're gonna find out as soon as we go green right oh yeah unbelievable our building here steep well there's not much I can say to her against new chief Andy Pettitte is going to make you feel much better except for out there you had a heck of a ride today what is Harry saying or is he saying anything nah he's not saying much you know this is like every time we need a cost you turns out to be good you know we're looking for a couch in there right on the lead lap with writer and scholar comes out but it was a get back on the lead lap okay well here we get you know is they're going to give up rocket well we'll richard every time i've done in some changes you've never seen hold on cars gonna be what's Kenny running down his tires pretty hard or was he running pretty easily before this caution came out no we we had him trying to save his tire so we you know that was our plan just try to ride it out and take care of the tires we was gonna be looking good caller got a skin okay there you have it Mike as you heard the Kyle Petty crew concerned that cow used up some tires on the other hand Richard Roe said that they had Kenny saving his tire so it's going to be interesting the bill Ali had stopped they raised the deklay to add oil to the dry sump tank on Elliot's car a little more oil for the engine we're getting set to go back to green and they'll have 11 laps to run Schrader and Kyle Petty are on the lead lap you'll see Harry Gant Bill Elliott and Ricky Rudd battling with their place maybe the final green flag of the day to decide it all 11 laps shootout greater on the break right with him and get scoops an ass ricky rudd a bit of a bottleneck there as they come off turn number to look like we're doing at the same problem [Music] that's one thing about the loofah pull harder we thought the race is over and we got a balloon anything can happen this kind of racing two laps ago wrenches it out but he doesn't want to be now later in second is more than Bill Elliott if one lap down two laps back or might walk from that feeling that brought out the caution flag he's out there in front of Kyle Petty they're not they're not very flat spotted by Mary gasps I think now we'll probably be able to ahead it looks like it's too late for him we ought to have a concert the best couple laugh here's a race for sixth place [Music] two laps down before this one's over they got bourbon 50 the lipstick up boys daddy coming into this race destructive that dates on a win they are bumper-to-bumper as urban add a little more oomph out of turn to the Mike Walter Irvin in the 4 car bike Waltrip in 30 the best race out there this one perfect place the go the arm the point stands to pick up a sixty eight thousand dollar bonus if he wins this race drop the pole every cat's in the world to win it and they lose it today there's his crew hang on he's under an arrogant past in there's nothing but clear tracks in front of files Eddie with five laps to go because he sure didn't want to kind of flip it get into area gambling and talk with the rage right now but as you betcha there's nothing in front of have a clear racetrack now on turf resistible right learn heart alone on a lifeline Jeff Boyd I'm Morgan Shepherd and Brett hold on this race is for six not the short way around three to go over dial Betty there are the boys that I want to put them to run that book side by side for sixth place Ernie Irvan Michael Walter waiting and hoping and Ernie Irvan debate the path he was up to six [Music] rod is one lap down they are too you lost a bunch of to us to go now about a laughing have to go for Kyle Petty it's not going to be almost to 300,000 okay well for the checkered flag but it will be Gary Nelson same engine builder John Wilson as one year ago new sponsor new colors and white flag for final penny Johnny Richardson without me earlier Mike like $700,000 for the year last year that walk one over 400,000 and in the back right away Kenny Schrader's here comes Kyle fatty out number four reply and away by 1.1 seconds over Kenny Schrader and Schrader we'll have to settle for instead of the winner's trophy the good intended war we'll be back to the North Carolina Motor Speedway after these messages at 120 4.08 three miles per hour Kyle Petty has just run the fastest Goodwrench 500 in Rockingham history shaking his head like he can't believe it he dominated all day and then had to come from behind to put a checkered flag on this one and Bank a skins game bonus of 68,000 $400 in addition to the race fern and a Donzi vote all right he covered to the car to the cheers of his crew and Steve Evans of Victory Lane Kyle Petty is out of the car being doused with his sponsors product he wasn't quite as dominant as a year ago today quite as much but as you can see it's no lateral we're trying to get into Kyle Petty Kyle may be a fantastic job we were lucky today racing back we were just fortunate we run good we lay out a lot of the race but you know there are the cautions kind of messed us up towards the end when you're able get that guy did you have it on know when straighter got to talk to when you were bait you know it was just one of those days all we could do is just run as hard as we could and try to catch back up we were fortunate we got a caution at the end of race and put it back in the hunt and we were able to beam Gary Nelson your Gucci give you an almost perfect race car and John Wilson our strong motive hey you can't say enough about Gary Nelson or John Wilson or Felix about is there anybody on this team that's this way it is we got a good combination Paul Gelman who works for forward Uzi an engineer for us I can't say enough about those guys I mean everything we're perfect for it and you know I don't know if you thought about this

we could stop kept us up there you know we got in that position where we had Kyle 18 seconds down or so because of a in or new yellow and that's how he got back around us he was the fastest car deserved to win the race you know if we could have got away to take me but it the guy right guy standing down there well tell us what went through your mind when you had that 18 second lead you came

on their feet one way or the other you're moving up and down through the field up against the fence a couple of times guys get in your way but you just kept struggling and it worked out pretty well all things considered yeah it did we started off a little bit off but then the track come to us and car got to working good new crew done through super job the way we had our strategy going and you know wish we could have finished that 31 too bad after all the bad luck we had today though but we finally got anything working for starett or Gentile ran super I don't 20 viable in the race is that the 40 toes a lap down congratulating the kidney behind me the mirror I'll made an extra lap I don't feel 25 and won the race while here's it now they put good piece of news your your crew won the Miller picked through the race award from for today their great effort keeping you in the event all the way yeah they sure did I can't believe we didn't have a flat tire sometime during the day with all that beating and banging them restarts are a little bit off right now and getting a real and nip it's hard to get to you spot they that's the hardest part you get the fender sliced and again the tires or talking we said you're one of the guys who was hoping for a caution the last few left but you didn't want to bring it out yourself we point out every time we need one we'd write it out so that that didn't help us it helped everybody else up I congratulations your prize okay let's go to go I am standing by with Bill Elliott the fifth place finish your bill kind of an uphill struggle all day things just never seem to work in the beginning well you know we really weren't that bad off at the start well yes but oh the course life or Thunderbird ran better at the race went on it seemed like a track more came to me and went away from a lot of other guys we had a little bit of confusion on the pit stop that got me a lap down I was able to pass cow and keep ahead of Attila College came out in right Jarrett and because the way the cautions fail and who came in and got tires and who got back in the lead lap determined to finish what the biggest thing I heard us was we got our tires on now ready for a caution you know and I should have been able to get back to the front but all the oil pressure started fluctuating real bad and I said man I've heard back off with as much soil temperature went up it went up like ether 60 degrees and I didn't figure it's gonna make the race so I just kind of rode around our thing but you know as far as the Melling race seems confirmed we had a good day at least we finished we're in the top five and I'm taking all the day off well you got to feel good about it you had kind of a rough start at Daytona and also at Richmond and so this got to make you feel better about things coming well we ran good at Daytona and we ran good at Richmond and just circumstances has really put us behind but you know maybe one go to Atlanta it's in front of a hometown crowd and get that course for back up front well that's certainly one of your favorite places I know I'm looking forward to Mike joy joyous victory somebody slips on a little bit of that soft
