Suzy cross the start-finish line he fell to the inside what is outside front-row Center as they come down the front stretch in there is michael waltrip he got caught on the inside don't have a drafted partner can't go to the front your stroller Marlin he may bump it above of trying to get by Road on the outside that outside food though here at Talladega is normally the basket and keep the RPM for the engine up a little higher get a better run off the current [Applause] [Music] lead lap number one right behind him is funny urban then the battle for third between Sterling Marlin and Ricky Rudd as we have the perspective of Morgan Shepherd as that's what in Marlin right in front of him the cars of professor Carsley a print yeah four abreast down the next day you've been chopped pity one more Martin Mark Martin is there on the inside he has picked up several spots here in the early going he started 21st but is moving up quickly and Earnhardt comes up to challenge also well [Music] big baby told them in the driver gentlemen there's stuff to be a lot of Cuban taste this rape is a bit of in the card I was thinking I was Ted Musgrave still three abreast racing for position there's Earnhardt going past Ricky Rudd in setting his sights on Sterling Marlin Earnhardt has got four plates okay it's a miracle those lasted way they've been jumping around and running three and four abreast looked out Bill Elliott goes by along Sprint both eyebrows the Farland and goes right by Eleanor and Terry Labonte in the Ford the Sunoco for number 94 also involved in this tremendous battle for position Morgan Shepherd of Honda would brother said go forward he's making a move towards the front on the high side and Harry Gant is in big trouble the defending champion of this race hasn't brought back to near the tail of the field remember last year he was absolutely at the tail of the field until they made the last pit stop or at least his last pit stop at another driver who is well off the mark in fact be mine Harry Gant is Darrell Waltrip 119 miles an hour there's Dale Jarrett on the inside the interstate car let's think that was going to be a smart move he went to the inside he moved up the six from his 15th starting position but it's going to be tough for him to pass down there in fact I think that was a mistake that he pulled down there he passed Earnhardt on the outside john kernan who can tell us about Harry Gann Bob I just talked to Andy Petree the crew chief he says I don't know he says here he hasn't said anything but we do know that that is a brand new race car they've been having some he was also in the car that they wrecked earlier this year they had to change some of those things that Hammond said that have been one of the most frustrating moments thieves that ever experienced his racing career but on Friday Harry steam tried one of ernie irvan's engine it picked up some speed for them but they decided to hit that engine out and right now auntie Peter he's kind of shrugging his shoulders doesn't know what's going on let's go down pit road to Jericho John I spoke interrogate this before the green flag beginning since he said doc we're going nowhere this is what happens when you build a brand new race car and you're so busy you don't have time to test and you don't have time go to the wind tunnel it's a big battle up front for the lead they are challenging up front here against the bumping backend Darrell Waltrip also struggling having trouble seven carborundum League draft led by Davey Allison Furman is second multiply Sterling Marlin then Ricky Rudd Morgan Shepherd Wally Dallenbach and Dale Earnhardt doesn't give a call to Wally Dallenbach the wookie this year on the NASCAR circuit Canton Road that far the best what he said there as the freight train forms down to the 1000 foot back threat those who don't now against your mr. Dale Jarrett there a moment ago he was up the sixth place he cried passionately inside now most approving proved as Jerry punch told us you've got to have a drafting partner don't get out of line without first making three arrangements or at least believing that somebody is going to go with you and never then they're in error with him maybe there's a reason but I think you will restate that's the mistake he pulled out of second position to go low on Davey Allison bulldoze on the high side of the racetrack go around him or we'll only be able to maintain his position it looks as if he's going to lose the spots as to the back he goes Davey Allison his first and now Sterling Marlin is running in second position as we're in the early lap so the Winston 500 drums holiday good day with that includes Sterling Marlin Ricky Rudd Morgan Shepherd and Wally Dallenbach friggin great spot right now background someone told him that he needed dashes partner he spent 40 where the Morgan goes he's going to go and yesterday went to break we saw her in the urban time to make a new battle and he said we can't even sleep running behind Wally Dallenbach so he has washed the bleep left because you tried to make that together now maybe my the top five and their nose to tail as they go down the backstretch full boards and one shovel a rot in the middle that Chevrolet is Ricky Mark Martin has been doing it who is the one who had his qualification run nullified on 21st position as [Music] [Applause] this is Rusty Wallace to be the night place car six seven eight that group in green cars urban Earnhardt and he'll definitely change a Sterling Marlin and Ricky Rudd have teamed up and they're going to throw Davey Allison back or are they look making a three abreast as Morgan Shepherd the Diamondbacks is as Posey fallen 20 West are now rich gonna try to come back up on the outside that's gonna allow fallen to pull away a little bit while B brother four cars race side by side maybe Allison goes from the leaf actors position about half a lap and fellas every time ceremony with Mexico houseboy beneath the last hundred dollars goes to the miracle Children's Network this is what they just got a hundred dollars topple the sons of massive house or in Shepard and Ricky running side-by-side for second spot look at Earnhardt on the outside of dollars back together and cut that

else shut up running side by side up remember they pull the guys that big crash on lap 92 book here Josh heavily involved and incarnate [Music] was totally destroyed and took it out back money and build the racecar se was present Martin we get when we had a couple of years ago well the one they rebuilt to bring here for Sterling Marlin was a car that was at Terry Labonte used to win here at Talladega back in July of 1989 and I think jr. throw that cart Darlington in 65 least attaching this thing a lap down while Bobby Hillin has been black flagged as the crew checks for an oil leak Darrell Walter who finished second in this race last year it's already loud laughs in the first 26 laps that's the team Ireland farther cotton hill is driving the owner from Ireland comes over loves Winston Cup races came over to run the wisdom Bible we're at Talladega Alabama or the at the moment it is Sterling Marlin lady we'll be right back at Talladega it is still side by side and a nose detail of speed one hundred ninety three point seven one two is the average at this point and that's faster than they qualified yes Ernie Irvan qualified at one hundred ninety two point eight three one that was his qualifying speech as a rapist faster than that first three cars are Marlon Elliot and [Music] did I really say a while ago this Goodwrench board and about my mailbox gonna back that desk well you did I'm sorry if I did Kevi it's the first behind and those two ports along with jr. Johnson II must be awfully pleased with [Music] try to put all the laughs lovely what [Music] [Applause] [Applause] by stabbing and then baby Alison like babies will run that group down former strategy among the [Music] how about that I think that remains to be seen right there were a lot of words spoken about no cooperation amongst the board drivers on the racetrack now off the racetrack 14 paths walk rated very well and that's why the Fords have been so round this year green flag falls away these are tele buddy more than a bunch are my driving force but yet they want to win the rest they won't do everybody for himself and John Kernan is down on pit road with my feet they're kind of reminiscent of Daytona I mean he's right out there leading the pack but it's in a different car yeah Oh car the gasping a new body on it Terry drove his car one to right-center 88 or I don't really know our last year right down here but we took it my fabricators they put a body on it [Applause] [Music] mouse kids ginger he told me y'all watch them just use a no-carb I wanted to and uh I'll tell everybody that jr. ran at Darlington well [Music] now what about pizza coxa coming up under green you have to have a driving park or advance workers with you have something set up did you guys talk about this in prearranged yeah I talked to double people damn and him I think we'll stuff together or there you know or do I figure external still lead when we stop a couple of to stop you know wherever low heat why we need to stay up front that's Mike beam the crew chief we expect pit stops to begin happening and probably 15 to 20 laps an incredible pace that things that we have been green all the way 188 laughs without a caution 34 laps in the book right now as he begins [Music] [Applause] with this wrapping and wrapping so tight the car tends to overheat and that's why Sterling Marlin wants to be out front right there's no way for air to go through the grill foods and regular food and thing off when you're right behind another car and here's Harry in this green and white car right in front of Sterling Marlin almost about to go a lap down [Music] he's a big lamp all the found last year he has gone a lap down at Marlowe and L ernhardt all go past him on the outside and all hairy canoes Washington refine when you mention net the 98 car there's Jimmy Spencer he has worked himself into the top ten for this team has had a tough year in nineteen led team that Jimmy is looking very well here started 26th round she wound up but worked his way back again side drifted back about 20 didn't even qualify for Daytona and has had trouble with other racetracks but while these black behind [Applause] [Music] and Markus close enough right now to the front but he doesn't have to worry about point in because he could see the leaders as long as he can see him he could fit with a medic he comes down to the pit crews there's so much pressure on the pit crews right now to make that good mr. and the number two car is also in this group and of course the new crew chief on this car is buried oxen and Jerry's with him 5:29 to the top 15 minutes ago he heard that he might be having a bit of a break problem what is it so very okay you guys don't miss a thing he does a lot of maneuvering with a car using the brake pedal for position and it's a real small set of rotors I'm sure he's just got a warm right now I'm gonna tell him we'll be in there for five rates are a problem until you pit which those pits up to be coming up in about five to seven laps yeah there's the first definite indication of when we might be able to see pit stops occur very same within about four or five laps he's gonna bring his driver Derek open for his first pit stop that's Alan Kulwicki running right ahead of him as the leader continues to be Sterling Marlin with Bill Elliott running second and Dale Earnhardt is in third great racing so far thanks for joining us at Talladega Alabama and the Winston 500 Talladega in the Winston 500 boy look so easy as we watched Jimmy Hensley 3-degree banks at speeds approaching 195 miles an hour it's not easy because there's cars the side of it in front of them they're everywhere and they're all running the same speed 195 miles per hour it's Buddy Baker Macan Island jurist are right in front of engine Rhett that on on the outside there's Alan Kulwicki upon the outside the odors for Walker any we're seeing some cards begin to slip and five look that out there those tires are getting hot maybe the cars getting a little bit loose hanging around again for positions where those are pissed off they're coming up they want to get up as far as they can before they have to make a pit stop as you're looking at this feel certain remember these guys can go forwards forwards or backwards about five positions in 111 they didn't want [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] pulled away from this business cars and as these cars run five number of lashed down cars out of the race that's also specified there is the 4 car breakaway draft of involving Marlin Elliott Earnhardt and Allison and that's the separation then back to Mark Martin II who again has looking been looking very very good after starting in 20 cards that we saw there we go Rusty Wallace was two or three laps ago Mark Martin went back and said hey maybe I can pull this back a little bit faster than rusty was [Applause] side by side so that's not gonna help their car collector very cyborgs and Shepherds car and Kyle Petty to the inside look at him move he's standing approved and then the car sticks Oh [Applause] [Music] my opening there wasn't much of a gap there Shepard start back without any gimmicks printers are side by side and these these

positions being changed and great back they later in the red white garden craftool m3 once again showing breaking or probably not reach up especially left foot he certainly doesn't have to use the brakes to slow the car down in the corner under normal circumstances we don't do it you speak with authority mr. Parsons because we'd like to point out that here are nine the first place to cut NASCAR driver to a freshly qualified left 200 miles now one later in 1985 or something or 87 Bill Elliott qualified yeah well miles an hour here as a matter of fact he qualified this weekend 21.9 miles an hour slower than he did in 1987 restricted the engines in the car so he would not run that a 450 miles is simply not safe play shot from the world cam here geoff bodine scar as we are at Talladega Superspeedway in running speeds in excess of 192 miles an hour Davey Allison has the lead back in just a moment [Music] Ritt mile race and we will be live from two until three o'clock Eastern and then return that same afternoon from 6:00 until 7:00 to wrap everything up their qualifying at the Indianapolis 500 next weekend you'll see it live here on ESPN yesterday the first day of practice for the 500-mile race found Jim Crawford approaching 230 miles an hour Jim Crawford of course driving a Kenny Bernstein own Indy car came are very much involved in drag racing of course with himself and with the Winston Cup team of Brett Bodine and the Indy cars of coach Parcells forever I just [Music] you know there is a lot of speculation all over the place in Indianapolis in Daytona Beach Charlotte all over the place about the possibility of the Winston Cup NASCAR circuit coming to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Winston Cup race probably not next year maybe not the year after but sometime in the future Winston Cup guys at Indy would you like that guys running at Indianapolis and not a handicar not an IndyCar stock how don't you baby maybe we'll get a chance to do it I think it will add some some class I don't know it'd be fun to run an Indy car there dude you know it's got a lot history behind Indian we put on the chauffeur you know I don't I don't I'm not that excited about going to their facility and raising the people go to the Indy 500 not because it's a race they go because it's a and you know that's why there's 400,000 people there I'd venture to say 200,000 of them don't care if they race or not they just walls maybe a little nervous there for a while I thought I could make it over one of those but you know that that's just something you know I'd love to race there and just cut the Indian one dream I've always had and racing was to drive it Indianapolis well I can't do that in a chance [Music] okay guys the booth what do you think Dems like to see him do at Indianapolis well I think the cause of the notoriety of these Motor Speedway I think did we be grateful there and I think they fit on the kitchen I love we mentioned the fact that Jim Crawford was the fastest at Indianapolis yesterday in the first day of practice his car owners standing by with Jerry punch in hey he himself Kenny Bernstein is a going over 300 a dragster indeed Bob the fastest man alive Kenny Bernstein and Katy we go from one screen to another next we give Indianapolis for qualifying and you have two cars both of which have been the fastest to up there and testing up your thoughts about the polls pizza for property Guerrero I hope that holds true I'm going to say 228 229 I'll probably take it to get the poll it's hard to tell sometimes with practicing and everything with the toes around there but first a to expend doing good up there your thoughts about NASCAR going up to the bridge guard positives early and maybe next summer they look pretty exciting I have to be there today they were testing the IROC cars and they look like they were having a lot of fun out here so it's a great part of the country to have a national race believing the baton will get the best of both worlds we can possibly a NASCAR race area in the future and meanwhile his car running off the we're here Talladega is we've had a change up front but indeed Sterling Marlin has taken over command elite again from with Earnhardt still running in third and Bill Elliott in Ford's fire it's throwing car collards car still running hot I'm sure he wanted to lead this thing that product clear document the one they're back there and certainly having been here I just thought you might be my city a sterling just decided the cars run a little bit too Davi might be blood I said big smile on his face I wish you could have seen easy yeah that's right sterling has had one of the strongest cars if not the strongest car in the first 73 laps of this race [Applause] every time you leave with a pit-stop and grapes record hunter to lady that was fill early 1985 and one of the reasons because the speed was so last that year was because they had the fewest number of cautions in history here at Talladega that was - and so far we haven't had any would it be wonderful if we could run this entire race without economy but there is a lot of traffic because [Music] all those cars buckle up more than seven places right up there we're not going talking about a new when in there you know Richard Freddie we're not talking about respectability front [Music] the fact that he went out of gas have a filter on the right yeah that was explained to us by a Gerry on pit road toward the pit was blocked when he wanted to come in and then the car ran out of here look at Jimmy Spitzer really go in half and turn two he almost got to the wall before he ever cut started down the straightaway what [Music] still there beside it and both of these drivers Bob will be making a special appearance a week from today if the thief Holocaust [Music] during your Johnson the race of life race for line at the post array the branch in Washington North Carolina's have been fit two young boys Leon and Danny from Danny Club senior is a member of Kappa spotters crew chief and he has to us on Theon the rare disease adrenoleukodystrophy and the one out of need with anger next Saturday May the night a lot back to one they are duration is he going to say the holiday know it don't you and you make you pretty hard contact Bank off of turn number two bringing out our first caution of the day Charlie Watts back in cellars one of the ARCA race here yesterday was running alongside Richard Petty when he wants to cut off the second car trying to get my Richard had to pen the car a little bit too much had to bring it down a little bit too much lost control and plays a pretty good content I'm sure the sensor not racing from course unit operation points he will be the Americas now let's see what happened he's got the car start and he's trying to drive away we sit on the inside of Richard Petty but he wants to take the car up all of a sudden just loses control Richard is on the outside of it that does not give him that usual that pushing of air out there to lean the car on Richard took all that air away and he just lost the filling you can see he still has the wheel spinning there baning he wanted to get that thing hand in a forward direction for a moment that they need it's that wall of dirt down on the inside see the damage was done now Charlie's got it rolling again thank God right front is going let's see that's one about South and the left nuts going forward yeah but obviously charlie is okay he just wanted to drive closer to the camera position Benny so that I could get a good shot of the split fire I'm glad to see that Charlie's okay took a pretty hard shot there when he hit the inside that dirt bank the pace car has the field bunched up for the first time in today's event comes on lap 77 for these first four cars certainly did not want to see that done but they had this race besides amongst those four cars one of those four cars was going to win the race if there was about 25 others back there that were glad to see this car definitely now we have another angle of Charlie's incident a little bit tighter see the front end starts to drift up just a little bit he was neat might have touched Eddie there and when he pulled it back down the back end went around on him not much you can do about it at that time gets her down on the grass and you can see the wheels are built pulling spinning say the momentum carries around that way then you get the straight against and hit maybe I got it this time but then the package goes the other way don't get a lot of traction on that grasp and he said uh-oh here's this wall but you know he never lost the brakes up till there at the last instant yeah he kept his foot on the floor he'd get that role he was hoping well pit stops are occurring once again here comes Marlin and the others John Kernan reports well as you said this is what the leaders did not want to see but those guys running in that second pack of cars are just thanking their lucky stars Sterling Marlin the leader Brees the Maxwell House floor down on the pin rug he will go to work they were going to work on the right side it'll be a four-tire change they will also make it chassis adjustment as my team comes across Farland on the top history baby a listed on the bottom right sides are going on swinging around to the left side of the car now sterling expected to get as just but also on the toilet beating that up Allison steamed out putting on his joint knuckles is yeah go go go Davey Allison we'll get out now to beat up the spoiler little bit Sterling's away and Jerry pretty darn apart spit they've already kicked one time fire going down left side - going on Road [Music] that's the green lights up with right side tires only so we're under caution here in Talladega Talladega Superspeedway for the 23rd radio running of the western 500 Chevrolet talladega after this church of the Winston 500 from Talladega Alabama for the first time this afternoon the leader of this race is Elmo Langley in the pace car wonder our first caution of the day and it bought an accident out of turn two involving Charlie plots backer and Elmo is they am I ever gonna get out there and make up to you laughs but what cool won the race out of the pits ladies and gentlemen Ernie Irvan must have just changed two tires or something like that yeah I think that was the case because he did get out first by a pretty good margin really so I think that he perhaps did just change two tires Ernie Irvan is right behind the pace car as we are cleaning up the crash cycle or an alpha turn of a - Charlie was able to drive the car down to grow just a little bit but then it stopped and is being pulled into the garage area on a hook Davey Allison's right behind Ernie as we get set for the restart here in lap or two just throw them all and they'll learn there's still 25 cars in the lead lap fellas geoff bodine as he's taken a little bit of a breather from the 192 plus mile an hour pace that was being set Jimmy Hensley also carrying one of our in-car cameras he looks almost as relaxed they're under caution as he did during it during the high-speed Morgan Shepherd taking it easy and Bobby Hamilton also carrying one in our cameras here today he's been pouring with his pit crew sois rot hand underneath the stone is the button he presses that down he's able to speak to history let's go down to the pit area full report dr.

he's surrounded by Ford they're close to it neither DK father came and live in the rear view mirror and find the frame Wiki Rusty Wallace I guess rusty puppy the closest thing you have to a friend trying to help him win $10,000 we shouldn't say that because these guys are friend and that friend they pointed out last week from Kyle Petty caught fire in the backstretch in the first person in his recipe with a fellow driver Jeff Bodine who had dropped out of the race it's every man for himself out there on the racetrack but when you get in trouble and have a lot of friends out there let's see what Geoff Bodine can do in front right now 87 see that's the smallest we've seen him as the cars run side by side she what a dramatic difference it makes his car 180 miles per hour before he's 192 when he was in line it's been a Spencer the good sweat dying on the inside and bayo Garrett was following since they don't think Jerry's been able to clear gift boat on yet is it go into turn three

looking to really get your homework done it's been a very good season for us so far and specifically that all of our teams are doing well we've got so far I think four different drivers winning races sitting down that's great there now we understand that yellow flag is now Houston we'll have to cut this short gentlemen what's going on we don't know something serious there might be some oil and turn four it is not for an accident because all cars are ok could be for some debris or some oil and brake sacks just went behind the wall so it could be that his car was laying down some fluids to boil and they'll check it out and turn forward all the way around this 2.6 mile track before we go back and read and there is Greg who has climbed out Kellogg's car and we should be seeing some pit stops here in the next few moments but in the meantime we're going to take a break and return with more action from the Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Winston 500 from Talladega Superspeedway

lead lap have made a pit stop many of them just made stop and go for gas while some have no tires here are those cars coming into the pits that are at least one lap down I don't earn artistic laughter Carly Jerry punch what they do they just guess on ilknur huh exactly gasps only on our heart and the car number 11 hum Phil Elliott but I will mention Earnhardt Richard Childress wanted to put two right-side tires the crew one of the go ahead and take time under the caution put two right-side tires Bernard is the one who made the ultimate call he said no he said I can't afford to lose one spot on the racetrack it's so tough to pass out there I can't afford to lose me down so no tires gas only and they were gone Dale Earnhardt has pulled ahead of the pace car what's going on play with Elmo he loves to play with Elvis sometimes you get behind him and bumping him do all kind of things Elmo he just sits there and takes it in stride now that Earnhardt stuff back in line Elmo gave him the okay fine I you know what Erna I thought maybe he had something wrong he wanted to check on a flat tire something yes yellow just check on a flat tire stuff well someone there yeah he's filming stay

caution of the afternoon because of some oil on the racetrack look at this crowd sun-baked nice hot warm afternoon here in Alabama with the skies partly cloudy right now and they're still looking good no chance of rain I don't think before their race ends see why you know there Betty you know last week at Barnesville Earnhardt was leading the race earlier than leading the race Alan Kulwicki and all these fellas at Axl's problem what they were doing was even spline up in the drive plate that drives the car in the real help you saw Speed Week last night I stopped by awfully the shop this weekend and try to kill what the the drive plate was at Tennant Martinsville some these cars have like two and a half degrees negative camber in the rear your Talladega bow-drill I happen to be the most they run it is a radial tire that they are running the camera driven by the Trinidad problem in Jersey equals flying up the driveway here in television when a scars come out with a new rule that will be effective beginning for the Winston the maximum 1.8 that's for the rest of the season as the green flag comes out and we are back to racing Dale Earnhardt takes off with Bill Elliott right behind him and here comes Sterling Marlin shredders a lap down he tried to move up behind that group and draft along with him but his car is just a good enough today to hang in that part mark tried to go back yeah after 25th Marlon up front both are still in the lead back see mark ow so cough and they're trying to dispense off the black market started Wiki on the inside he's trying to go by Kyle Petty and Morgan Shepherd I think's going to help him not believe they're going to be able to make Morgan who was behind I miss bale Jerry - following Rusty Wallace me there [Music] sorry it's certain it didn't take off very well because there's a space of about 50 yards opened up michelle wise kalpeni was you know he could state up the side of Jimmy Spencer but he realized if he has stayed up beside out and they just want to fall back back back he eased off the gas there's mr. Phillips bobbin and get in line that's all the way that's going to catch up with these guys Am I four cars are on the ken schrader in the twenty-fifth one lap down body else at least one laughs down to the heater only one incident so far that involved Charlie Watts back in car number is being shown right now in 37th position hitting the wall coming out of the second turn on the backstretch [Applause] one other caution like articulation - thoughts - Elliot goes to the lead down in right behind him with the apart market a loop move down that low line benign Earnhardt though the junior Johnson cars go to the front once again Elliott and Marlin the crowd reluctant don't you know jr. Johnson just left into for four or five years or question five or six years I get this car [Music] bastarz be over here they told the 500 it looks like this slide often look at the cashier they love Ellen [Music] their paws afford out front stay well [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] who Chevrolet's Elliott in the 40 [Music] Mark's partner fourth baby house from the outside he's got some help with ricky rudd in the shuttle there's jr. watching his first and second he had 22 on the left side on his sleeve there I'll bet he's got the other system showing no favoritism from Mark Martin yeah boned out on the inside it is he's going to wind up the 11 when he was there just a moment ago and now he's going to be great back between Jerri oh it gets in there in front of wow I didn't think you a dream for a car in there mr. ratio dolphin put a car in there [Music] in a little different way than you try to park [Music] from third position the points that he had for wild down the fourth but he now can negotiate and moving back in the third because Terry Labonte is already the raisin Sterling Marlin and I'll drop to the inside and turn number one and trying to take the lead away from bill he does easily really good Daler not watching everything from third position we have interns wanted to pick him up a couple of positions up there looked like he was going into the wall but he knew teamed up with bargain Shepherd and allegory King Richard Petty started 17th and running in 23rd or you've seen that FTP on his eye for many many years [Music] forty-fifth start at talladega two wins last one coming in the Winston in 1983 but for almost two decades twenty years you've associated Petty and STP Richard Peddie memory is brought to you by the first brand corporation makers of STP son-of-a-gun protecting the year was 1973 at Richard Petty beat Bobby Isaac in route to his fourth career Daytona 500 victory the first with STP colors on his dives when it was over Andy Granatelli 's antics in victory lane overshadowed the win we went down everything was working we've got all the breaks during the race I guess the biggest memory of the deal was was me trying to dodge anta Granatelli in the a winner's circle you know they've won the 1769 race I guess with and Rhydian at Indy and you know he picked a big fan video give him some sugar stuff man they come in in the winner's circle Aaron we was just tickled a about of a big time at Eureka knocked everybody out of the way got a fair trying to hook me and all that stuff and I yeah I guess the from the racin standpoint it was just a good race for us everything selling fell in place but I think I remember the winner's circle don't we remember the race here at Talladega that will come with a die hard 500 later but the king will always rule here at Talladega and Winston Cup NASCAR stock car racin King Richard Petty a lot of cars around him meanwhile the lead graph consists of these 10 cars look how the first four is right in the bottom of the race track in the next five or six is run to the top of the racetrack they run nose to tail down the straightaway when you get to the corner the first floor goes to the inside the next five goes to the outside Jimmy Spencer has lost the graph making it nine in the train oh there it goes to wiki Morgan Shepherd will come along behind aliment Oh looks like rut maybe hung out here [Applause] our ease pass Ricky Derek open up he was able to slide in just the leader is Sterling Marlin running second is Bill Elliott then comes Dale Earnhardt and Davey Allison the NASCAR Winston Cup Series today at Talladega back after this turning to dr. Jerry punch 113 laps completed there were nine cars in the lead craft now there are dropped off not because we got on the ground that car yeah they think it might be the battery going dead oh that car Jared you learned anything about Mark Martin Stein well about two laps ago dad to car began the sputter in the car literally just almost foot running he thought something was locking up in the rear in addition but he said no I think it's in the motor they looked and they think they figured out it's the battery they think is going dead so they Steve mill has had the crew get another battery Ferrell compartments here in the pits and they're waiting for mark to get a chance to come on the pit road they're talking to him now the car is still running laughter he's showing in the gauges there way to get a chance to bring him on the pit road and replace the battery and meantime mark mark will just do as best he can that he's well well on the pace he will probably stay on the race Hilda gets left at that point time baby [Music] leave left he thought will stay out there and just hope for a caution salvation right now honking he's running by himself out there at the moment there is a pack of cars coming up behind him but see how far it is that group cars in front of him and then they've got that far behind the group cards behind him so he's not getting much Dale Jarrett Jimmy Spencer jumpin shuttle a yeah they lost the lamp of the beat who lost the draft of the league group a little while back they just didn't confide hang on 14 now both of them just took on fewer the last time they did change any tires dirty urban yes that last pit stop because he had an IQ at the time before three cars have been drafting on each other for the last several laps trying to catch the leaf wrap like a wave behind darrell waltrip imagine very very disappointing afternoon he's six laps down right now election about Dale Earnhardt is taking over the second position out baby elephant goes around Bill Elliott on the outside Elliott felt down on the inside really be able to get back in line all the way back to aid let's see Ricky goes by Morgan Shepherd goes by Ruud pulls up even with him a lobster Copa still he's on the outside they go into trouble and poke customers on the racetrack caution is out for the third time too Mark Martin does get somewhat of a break and it could be because of the number 49 car Stanley Smith down the backstretch Paris on batteries Chevrolet who had such a good qualifying effort and a very good run going here today are missing as it goes down so obviously the motor was going armed let's take a look at our Western Auto race recap Sterling Marlin led 55 of the 115 laps two cautions for nine laps were in our third 24 cars on the lead lap and six liters 15 average speed down now to 170 two point eight nine miles an hour that's about 20 miles an hour under what it was earlier they're the drivers that have led at the race and picked up five NASCAR Winston Cup bonus points including the pole sitter Ernie Irvan knows had have dropped out of the race mostly for mechanical problems Charlie plots back car number 90 has been our only accident victim as he hit the wall coming out of turn number two but is okay as far as the mechanic of the Year standings are concerned we'll temper over from bill Elliott's team is on the top ten points ahead of Larry McReynolds third Steve meal Andy Petree fourth and Paul Andrews Allen coitus team is in the Western auto mechanic of the Year standings where they need to go changing the tires this time I believe they'll change tires respect you know they can make it on one more fuel stop if they've run all the fuel out this in there thanks but they're gonna come in do some tires let's go to John Kernan on pit road for the call and pit stop Mike be manure awaiting talking it over and decided to go either right side tires left side tires now they will go with left sides only as the crew goes to work fill it up with gasoline as you said they'll have to make at least one more stop maybe Allison is also in and he's away baby must have just taken on fuel sterling into work continuing now he is fitting to down pit road let's go down further to pit road if our partners business Jerry Park Jack the left side um but taking the left rear tire no forego trying to open the battery compartment the battery now as a small of the morbid it's in front of the left rear tire they wanted to happen here um about is that the alternator has been working normally the gates as they have a tire rolling loose on pit road a lot of activity down here a flurry should read about 14 volts on the alternator Delta it has been working the gauge for it reading 10 volts nine bulbs and it was draining the battery then they all center equipped that's those clapping they put a fresh battery in and they should get into the end of the race to go out to work on the alternator problem next week but obviously costing some time it could have been a lot worse for Mark Martin that the cost should not come out they were waiting to get a caution and not lose a lap now they are sitting in the pits the old battery is out Steve male working in the left rear wheel well trying to get the new battery in getting the plate put back getting it taped in position the cables on and Mark Martin just quite survived without losing the last as the pace car now in turn Creek they are almost finished footage of battery in the car and the fouling team a winner just one week ago may catch a break here at Talladega top the pace car is moving course rather slowly get about 80 miles an hour through the third and fourth turn both I'm sure that fans would see and say hey when I made the little knot for the battery of them under the hood in a different place will be ignored what is the case of a crash they can protect it some but more than Danna puts that way too that bad right back there on the left side here the rear of the car still under caution at Talladega and Alabama in the Winston 500 you're watching live coverage here on ESPN back right after this Trackbacks are brought to you by Quaker State the baked you is one tough motor oil setting up a Winston Cup car on a Speedway can be extremely difficult because the rules limit what you can do in years past if you wanted to change the downforce on the back of the car you could manipulate the spoiler upper back but now the rules significantly limit your access to spoiler movement so what many of the crews have decided to do is change the front of the car in something called bender tuck let me show you what I mean this rod here attaches from the fender to the frame there are five holes here on a plate welded to the defender so you can actually adjust the rod forward a quarter of an inch which will bow the fender out if you turn the fender out it catches more air in the front of the car or stalls more air as the term is used creating more downforce all in front of the car and making the rear of the car looser and vice-versa if you pull the rod back you're bringing the fenders in allowing air to slip by cleanly less downforce up front and making the car tighter so a minor adjustment here in the fender tuck can have a major impact on a car's handling on a Speedway quick lesson there in the aerodynamics from dr. punch and our track pack just giving you an indication of how a slight bow when the chassis can make the difference in two three four five miles an hour by the way he won the card yes there's mark mark coming out of his he's going to be in 23rd place guys last car in the lead lap you came back to get a change tired [Music] last week's winter when we get the results of this week's but since you asked the Gillette half-way Challenge winner last week at the Martinsville was Darlene Weaver a 27 year old housewife from Dayton Ohio right Darlene way to go listen we'll have today's winner hopefully in a few laps the crowd rises to its feet there here at Talladega now Dale Earnhardt came when in the fifth the third came out 13 Bill Elliott came out in the fog about 18th or 18th position - they change all four tires so they got some work to do to get back their cords from track position very important but those two guys have elected to give up track position to get some fresh tires Davey Allison will have the lead and they and that Ricky Rudd is running second so Alka wiki laying back little bit so we could get a nice running start he's tried to go for only outside they almost pray Morgan without therapy a cardiovert the cars slowed and wanted to it just did not go when he stepped on the accelerator in fact it looked like it may have died he is running very slowly down the backstretch now beginning to gain some momentum but Ernie Irvan is falling way way behind we launched the draft if he has the car up with the gifted up the team love the dress [Music] close to the lead as he has had since September of 1991 one has not let a laugh in 92 he's second right now look at the scramble for position behind him Bernard and Brett Jeff though Diane almost getting together coming off the fourth quarter as Jeff in the red part Derek open the red ken Earnhardt hits for the bottom of the track while Koch remains up on top along with and some good action behind them this is the place where you hold your breath for a crash yeah for several left if they jumped around through their hard have to go back to the end of that line could not get by you're comparing in along they need to match out a certain button what his way to the front let's get a report on Ernie Irvan from dr. punch this code is true minutes ago Bobby thought the transmission was about to lock up in the car then suddenly it threw out of here coming off her through that police feedbacks a lot of distance most importantly he's lost the bread and he has lost the opportunity it would appear for the unocal bonus money in 22 $800 will increase my 7600 for the coca-cola 600 the field summary coming up here watch for your favorite laughs first three out front three-car trapped for the leading and Allison Rudd and Marlin to just pull away from the crowd and the worse they could do it year the race would be third that big bunch back there there was an 18th position he has now moved up to the 16th position hired backing up the attack pepper three cars on the loop laughs as Mark Martin who joins the battle using caution period it me means is out so is break facts 36 through 40 are also out of the race including Lots back are only accident victim for the day 124 laps are completed here at Talladega 188 make up this NASCAR Winston Cup Winston 500 then here's 4 5 6 7 & 8 running together led by Earnhardt in comes Coe a key there's Bill Elliott derecho who's done a great job and a great race and all Rusty Wallace their hopes of us yeah bill Elliott's felt down on the inside there once again can't find the hole to get back up in there Shepard would fight again that's what I was thinking right now [Music] or good shepherd and Rusty Wallace right beside him that strategies from here on John well you see Larry McReynolds just walking away from talking with my team now what they've done Larry has been down and talked to Gary be hard it will hit about 10 15 laps from the end for gas right now those three cars baby Ricky mr. Langer planning to run nose to tail not try and dice for the lead among themselves they want to pull away from that second pack of cars now one thing that has taken a lot of strategy to build up here Sterling's running a little bit hot as he's running in the third position Trent about 210 degrees if it gets too hot and the order is for the other two guys to let him get out in front and get some clean air into his radiator of course when that moment comes to see if that works but [Applause] I insist right away from Dale Earnhardt because he's the guy that's leading that second group Bernard the rear bumper is possible he could run three down we'll have to see that works out I think that's going to be a tough shore there being because they are working the draft into oak [Music] the back back there so he might be able to just get some children that's what the web do well congratulations to Michael of bow or bowie vo w e38 an old monitor from kilowatt Pewaukee Wisconsin who is today's

have reached with their US tobacco sponsorship until 1994 so you continue again running in their skull cars here he's going to be an old man whatever 32 laps completed out front is Allison Rudd and Marlin in the Winston 500 bodega Alabama where ESPN is presenting live coverage of the Winston 500 from the Talladega Superspeedway at this point is Davey Allison along with Ricky Rudd and sterling wanna race to track back to four John Kernan has a report on pit road well Bobby you say that Davy is running super hey it's gotta be this scene stop Joey knuckles while workaround to the other lost a shoe well Mike Cofer the kicker for the San Francisco 49ers also happens to be a North Carolina State graduate and NASCAR fan was watching and a couple of days later Joey got these shoes in the veil you'll see they've got the regular movies from there and also from velcro snaps here says guaranteed not to lose these shoes now let's go down pit road to Jerry punch we're talking about drivers and teams trying to do something to change our luck take a look at the Kodak Team you see the fourth trial attorney herb and now he's a little different if he were to clamor on that car you might have recognized him he has - the mustache in fact everyone in the crew here have shaved the beards mustache essentially all the facial hair off today as they are trying to change their luck and of course one crew member back in Hammond in Virginia by the name of Mike Harris who is a machinist is breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief he moderate he would shave every single bit of body hair he has including hair eyebrows mustache everything so even though Ernie you still on the lead lap Mike back up in Abington maybe sighing a little bit early I didn't even recognize Tony Glover he's had that mustache for 15 years [Music] I went to the drivers babies Hornet there's Glover does he look difficult yeah sure those it's the big Matt gonna baby can't feel it well the question at this point is are these three cars pulling away from four on back the interval between Davey Allison Ricky Rudd and this other group of cars now we have the time some laps here you for you and [Music] auto parts on track interval summary we kind last one Allisyn forty nine point four to forty nine and a half very consistent a little bit slower and in fact the interval increased from 2.5 seconds to 3.5 seconds during [Music] when the way they're doing such a great job is drafting up there they are changing positions all the earn work that he hasn't changed positions nudity becomes easy [Music] let me cross up the guys the machinist who is standing by that can happen in Virginia the Kodak that is Mike hip otherwise known as hippy back here he's a guy sitting here watching the ESPN telling us right now with a safety razor and a can of shaving foam hoping maybe his driver will win or maybe hoping you won't woman I'm not really sure but anyway he's watching this back there in Virginia glad to have him and of the other Winston Cup spectators Luers watching our live coverage of this event today another Autolite field summary for you [Music] going back including her hard look at the scramble for position Bill Elliott is trying his best he's up on the high side here and she's at Deptford I'm down on the inside and they are really doing some scrambling around for position back there Elliott feels that he has the fences far that crease if they could just get up there and he has and his friend he's innocent it'd probably help everybody if they just knew that they wanted to get up there and hesitating to give up that position now to understand exactly what that becomes Kulwicki was wrapped bounder not just a lap or so ago and now of a sudden quick ease back four or five cars rusty waffle moved up behind them Lilly account Haiti went down to the inside as their token son now he's gifted I'm they found debris down on the inside that they can work pretty good first pantsing we've seen that Reda stuff that on the inside way that's a great shot in it boomer style PDF there surely he's not telling me outside really was Marcus got back up to speed cause he had dropped back but now he I changed the battery and then brought back again but he's moving again mark mark meanwhile it is still the same very patient driving here on behalf of Davey Allison Ricky Rudd and Sterling Marlin this graph to each other and keep everybody behind him we'll be back with more in a moment [Music] a Ricky Rudd first of all lost second place got out of the draft next thing he was in the wall and turned number two sliding down the banking he has the car headed in the right direction again here's what happened the car slowed he was going slow and all of a sudden it didn't go sideways it's like he had a flat tire something he goes the wall comes back them there was a big gap between he m.d. another big group of cars he was lucky that those other cars are coming along and he comes down the inside maybe I believe he didn't have a tire going down that's what called yeah yeah anyway what that did of course was essentially eliminate contention but it also brought out another caution and that's going to close up the field and it'll it'll make that last pit stop when we'll get stuff they needed for fuel now they can make it [Music] they change tires although they just gas me go [Music] they were becoming downpour that stops on lap number 144 meanwhile Ricky Rudd has stayed on the racetrack because he legally cannot hit the pit road is still closed because the pace car hasn't been by dopant up so he's got to ride around on a flat tire probably shake the car all two pieces fell this was a break for Ernie Irvan who had the problem on the restart he was running back there by himself totally out of the draft and he was about to go a lap down and now he gets to catch up he was 23rd the last car on the lead lap big break for 30 here they come guys Ward pit road John maybe Allison Sakura waiting at first they were gonna only gasoline then they decided right tires because they'd be to the cannot have the fuel now apparently they just need one can of fuel because they decided to make it a gas and go all the way Devi is in waiting waiting waiting that laptop until go to the guns the engine and is away Devi is down now also Sterling Marlin on generals change right-side tires into way and now down to Jerry punch well I wasn't exact same thing down here daughter are the are to go man [Music] no big break kodak chevrolet crew down have changed right side tires and all the way across pit road and now being grabbed by one of the eight friends Nicola Goodrich group bedtime thyroid oh hey ma the jet engine here urban gets out of the way so we are under call Calla Degas SuperSpeed Wyeth laughter whining what should be the final pit stop we're set for green flag racing the checkered flag back with more after this fourth caution of the day with 145 laps out of 188

sterling for you sponsored by auto light and a little bit of racetrack back to Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett we're cooking a graph trying to catch that lead pass over there when Thursday trusty but now pal pity and Erich Koch starter others are catching them teammates rusty [Music] [Music] they got [Music] toward the base they applied one five cars in their own song and Dale Earnhardt feeling like a renegade which right the middle of Alone's Chevrolet in the middle [Music] the past [Music] [Applause] good luck will you stay back there all the way to the corner [Music] [Applause] a little dutifully the run like they you trying to break the imagine these drivers are trying to figure out what they can do he tried that move is that what I didn't do on the land at least think that's what he's going to last that he may do something else he's doing several things in the next 35 [Music] what he's going to do you mind games being played baby Alice e2 five finishes what laughing last week

Martha are you trying to say laughs and wine and all I don't think babysitting pitched up unit know this they won't have to stompasaurus jewel is concerned and everybody seems to be pretty good we'll be long but they will start mixing it up and trying to get track position for morning with the Fred well gentlemen keeping with our theme of needing a dance partner and having to be able to utilize help in the draft here Dale earnheardt must feel awfully lonely out here in fact remember go for the loan bowtie banner waiver out there and as the laps wind down may be our only hope is this maybe some of those four guys there are four of them around that's more like an ambush than a race come on those poor guys take it low agree because a couple of those guys have yet to win in 1992 if they get greedy and mess up maybe we'll have a shot a little bit killing that may be our only chance we'll see as we get closer to the end of the race number one the only the only driver in that crew that is right from inside mortgage efforts car Bernard what [Applause] and sterling Martin [Applause] he's been strong all day long and people are predicting he is not going to be long [Music] there's a battle to be very potent pal penny I'm starvin green about the first five [Music] Alan Kulwicki among others using the low-side make that night for their first video content now I saw Ernie Irvan

permanence day man says I would love to have a top-five finish but their dough Davey five cars is fed up down pit road being a lap to the first five now for an old guy take another break and then come back with a field summary from the Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama we'll be right back sir it's at 9 o'clock I'm sorry Todd Foster Thursday at 9 o'clock Eastern on ESPN there they are the top five still running in the draft still running in the same position they have we still got about 24 left today well Bob laughs actually by that time watching the auto-life field summary that we promised June they were running wife laughed [Applause] Marty Wallace at 11 through 15 [Music] it may be in his store down there ladies yeah that's what that could be yeah yeah this of course is taken from the pump is going spam and it depends on how they hit that button when you combine and there are about from sixth place to about they're all running in a linebacker so that could really afraid of being I just had to bring him up various went run/walk Martin is full of district rest of all is at 7-5 they're out there tonight a line occurred all of those cars were in the bead lift that is 16 any of the wreck we have [Music] they've made of the ninth ray is the last car on the lead left and here's Kyle Petty trying to go on the they have masks on it meant through the cars he stayed in the lead laugh all day on pastebin - cricket available but they're running staying in the be like well the last three short tracks were done one drill them just early on the first few laps yeah Richard had some problems three races in a row okay that's the battle for the last place on the lead lap Dave later looked like a crime in half position that's how much racetrack there is between that - laughing and kind of tired hit the wall and slid down the banking a few laps ago for this guy Frankfort second place half [Applause] Charlie that new part of us all was Dave Marcus the SPG Oh they're all trying to figure out now what can I do to win this room [Music] what can I do why need to team up with strong do I need to team up with Morgan or when he moves up I need to put the Earnhardt in ours you know they're all fun for a walk [Applause] [Music] 2.4 seconds that was back to that Dave Marcus and Ricky [Music] there's different industries my rage down here 1970 through 1988 and I was in this position several times five or six times I was in the exact of this position trying to figure out right now what do I need to do and you know what I'm never figured if I says how do I look we got it whatever circumstances present themselves on that last lap for the last couple of laps and you try to take advantage of them of course most of your races will without restrictions right now what you run with the recirculation idea about the nearly seven had restricted plates and then in 1987 once again we every now here's from the lead group back to the second Oh Ernie Irvan and hope get together a little bit already still running that bottom line Department of State and past those guys on the bus this has been an amazingly safe race Charlie Watts back has had the most serious contact with any wall and he's okay Ricky Rudd the only other one back in a moment Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama it's baby Allison Bill Elliott Dale Earnhardt Morgan Shepherd and Sterling Marlin the top five running in a draft the Western Auto mcann the races mic beam from Sterling Marlin squeak Ruchi out of junior Johnson shop all those points of course accumulate during the year to the Western auto mechanic of the Year award that handed out at the NASCAR banquet in New York City in December it's Harry get last year's winners gold bandits when another lap down he's now two laps down and it's just amazing what Windtunnel time means this car was put together this in early I think Gary Johnson put together didn't have a chance to take it yep the small details and rented the car bumpers yeah here is was not competitive still 20 cars in the lead lap there five over [Music] brother stop on Stuart Virginia [Applause] as close as you can but if they're probably faculty community get as much air as possible through the grille but yet tried to get the maximum speed out of a car well there has been some jockeying going on back there from the sixth place on back these five cars have been contempt just to sit there and run for what 25 or so laps I'm doing some joking still trying to figure it out Benny what you want to do is not time yet though they still got their work in the 174th clamp down the race is 188 so they've got 14 more laps to go yeah Dale Earnhardt's record here at Talladega 26 starts 5 wins 12 top fives and as we came into this division the last over the Winston Cup points lead after this race in 1990 let go Robbie so he knows what's doing that last half-inning five times that is gonna be his friend why as you would think that the Four Winds drink is going to continue carrying the banner all alone last few laps that's right Davey Allison beat him yesterday in the IROC race by about 3 or 4 feet so a replay of that they're by themselves well another car in sight [Music] here comes out of it Boyet they took a long time for them to get there there are five we're about to break away Alan Kulwicki 5cm sample is good to go he what they're running the bait place that didn't work he's down the inside again to something to work this time Gordon it doesn't look like but Ernie Irvan has moved up to leave this pack now seventh Dale Jerry to think they've been fine back there the steps Angela went away from dirty Aaron was a pole sitter he's now in six five the urban park partner Dale Jarrett Rusty Wallace Jimmy Spencer some of our spotted them on the other look out Jimmy Spencer is the car trouble limping home but it did not go over unbelievable whoa label the Carlos category and look just put it in gear go Jimmy water ride that had to be boy if I could not believe that that car got as far as it did they settle back they put it in Scottie he's going on he may not lose a lap no he he gets back out on the pavement he's gonna be okay he'll stay in the lead lap you remember Davey Allison [Music] and boy Jimmy Spencer that was unbelievable watch this here Spencer and darlin back and wall-e see what happens here looks like Spencer like yo I see done back up bump my head he just barely got by it look at you up on the lip nose of the car it comes back down wants to flip over but it don't it stays bent one thing that helped it from not flipping over you've got to going in the forward position again and the air help to keep it on the ground that's right he came down sideways the crowd started rolling as he came down a fourth position and he puts it here drives up okay do they make pit stops guys there will be 11 laps to go when they come back he's driving it around to the pits it is a good question what do you think will they hit only 11 laps to go boiling guys what's a real pit what do you think no come out I spent for vehicle lap down when he came yeah there but the pace car now just about to come out so they can't come into fists until the next left oh and bunny major has a problem also cycle wheel Bernie's lost a wheel bearing on that Garcias to be fired he has he's lost a wheel bearing and the wheels patent well but I would be surprised because well remember it's the mission couple years fire to help yeah yep that's exactly frothy that caution why waves over Talladega Superspeedway for an accident involving Jimmy Spencer taking the ride of him his life perhaps but he's okay he drove the Molly blackballed car back into the pit area you can see that couple of members of Dale Earnhardt's crew come over to find out how Jimmy is after that very scary ride this is what happened on the backstretch we'll be back in just a moment [Music] it's holiday get now Jimmy Spencer had a scary ride and this is why Bobby Hamilton saw as we watch from his in-car camera he's right behind cow pity there Spencer on the inside of it and darling back goes down just touches Spencer's car way he goes wall he did a nice job saving his car cuz he was sideways he really did he might have just went up into Kyle just a little bit as they came off of that turn and just caused him to go down into Spencer Spencer was going up and these guys chose not to pit yep he decided selling the race does not give up that track position forward tires were able to the tires are good enough they can run 60 70 laps on still run wide open so they stay on the racetrack 19 cars in the lead lap but it's the Rick mast come into the 50 is currently 19th year mental Kalu's don't wait when they come down they will complete lap 179 and that means there will be nine more laps to go and obviously at least one more of those will be under caution wait laps of green flag racing to decide if this guy wins it he's got two legs up on the Winston millions right and a hundred thousand five hundred in the bank and another two chances to pick up another $900,000 coca-cola 600 Chara and the southern 500 the high in southern 500 one of those two well there's Elmo and he is driving the pace car and they have just signaled that the next time Elmo will pull off and we will go back to green but we do have time to sneak in another commercial break for you before they go to the green flag and settle the winner of the Winston 500 from Talladega Superspeedway racing Navy Alison as the field in tow and he has reached the point where he can begin accelerating he does so here they come let's see what happens le and white behind him then Earnhardt Morgan Shepherd and then courts have broken away from the lead pack before from from the other pack I should say before this caution came out they're also getting by Dale Jarrett so the child dated so they picked up several positions those ways they body fine to get another position because the checkered flag is just about in the end what you do right now what you did earlier in the race didn't matter so much what you do now is means everything yeah you kept yourself in position all day long now the chips are down nothing to go lighting the geoff bodine early scam on the motor craft for the head is very coke until you earn Europe and he's talking himself up there in position now in sixth place and he's with the lead pack six cars have broken away the round with Davey Allison still a bit of race backpack six card round partymen bet my head start Randy Fraser [Applause] [Music] one parking the Dale Jarrett running side-by-side back there that's kind of hurt them they're gonna lose the death six more six more to go Alex [Music] Levin heart really the top four cars are running nose to tail their reckoning say okay we're going to follow them what kind of picture was there figure out what are you trying to say look like you trying to say let's get mind-blowing the inside they better start pretty soon they're gonna make any headway there's Ernie Irvan [Music] market that group really [Applause] four-and-a-half play start making some moves laughs in this situation you gotta do it before then I've led so many laps maybe I can go the rest of the way without anybody making a move win this race and move a step closer to a million dollars yeah but he most of these cars are those detailed and they were 10 laps ago before the caution we've gotta stay tight the decisions we make in that country left to make less than four laps to go maybe Alison continues to lead Ernie Irvan has talked backed up for that back [Applause] back bumper there's the pole-sitter for this race [Music] very close to the checkered flag the green flag at that black 28 lay at the first lamp the leaders maybe led the first lap furthermore you guys on the outside yeah mark Morgan said okay thanks where you want to go out here is complete lap 185 they got three minutes ago and Morgan Shepherd almost gets jumped up into the wall but he saves it that wasn't context oh just a bit of smoke as those two times boosting cars men warden Shepard drops back to sixth position but he's lucky that he didn't slide up into the wall now the they were you can see the tire marks on the side of the stick go forward as horton chef who looked at his front windshield een has lost the graph that found Zach he's gonna loose more positions as Alan Kulwicki and Dale Jarrett back there passing over five cars now the lead graph as they come down to complete lap number 186 two more laps

Chevy's in this group of cars like one more left to go 2.66 miles to go for they have you looked on the outside baby bill comes down to the almost touch they did touch I believe but Eliot managed to stay in second Eddie many back in first position with no movement they run nose to tail down the backstretch let's see what happens now at the end of the backstretch as they send it through 30 please the banking of turf number 20 to the outside Hermey will fatherland Daniel slides way up on the racetrack he's in the battle for second position with Bill Elliott they move off of turn number four and come down through the Bible Davey Allison still has the ladies trying to break the ground it looks like he's gonna win it battle for second between elegant I believe the model that's been referred to urban but boy it was close it was close and Davi out the hundred thousand the bank two shots to win a million dollar if he can win the coca-cola world's excedrin or if he can win the southern 500 in Darlington this will ton of ice for you Labor Day weekend he will win 1 million dollars just like Bill Elliott did back in 1985 well let's see if he'll talk to us now because the 40 ounce this is Pentecost 70 FB and you read me well I don't think you can read it baby else this is baited Farsi reasoning boy the crew is happy aren't they down there on pit road Davey Allison has won the Winston

in one piece we can take it to Daytona now and and I learned a lot got a lot more confidence back in drafting and things like that and they're really looking forward to going to Daytona but you know we had a good race car today and was fortunate enough to come home where we did when you caught that lead Raptor your crew chief Tony Glover was doing jumping jacks he ran over Richard Childress and said come on let's go Chevrolet's go go bill he was waving his hand like a cheerleader and you and Earnhardt I guess they communicated to hook up and try to make a move to handle the fourth well Richard went over and him and Tony talked about it and Dale I told Tony says to tell him to go whatever way we're gonna go whatever way they don't go so I knew pretty much what that meant and when they stayed low he went high and I try to go with him in it you know we made we gave it a good shot but uh you know my Kodak card is Goodwrench card just weren't quite strong enough to get up there Ernie Irvan coming home with a good fifth place finished after struggling early in the afternoon Bob Ernie Irvan finishing in fifth position and there is in again Victory Lane where Davey Allison is

up next let's go to the Desert Inn Country Club and all right welcome back to Las Vegas for final round coverage in just a few minutes but first we're going to recap what happened here this afternoon at Talladega it was a win for Davey Allison there's a party going on right down there into the middle that bunch was a party going on a huge party John Kernan is down in the garage area with Wally Dallenbach well Bob Wally Dallenbach a lot better finished in last year 14th place although a little bit of a tough racing out yeah I don't think there's too many guys I'll be taking a dinner tonight it was tough nobody was really working with us today but everything we got today we earned we had good pit stops and gave a good ride for Keystone and planners and we're real happy with it you know you told me earlier this year just how tough it was and how much you were learning what have you learned the most important thing this year I won I think I have to be here a little while before something can I start running with me we had a real strong car but like I said you just gotta have guys working then and it wasn't just me I mean Mantha soon as somebody pulled out that was it you know they'd go to the back and but we learned a lot we got through it in one piece and we go on from here that's Wally Dallenbach after a fine 14th place finish let's go across the garage area to Jerry punch well John Bill Elliott just sitting here in the back of the bud watched the first of all bill let me ask how you are I know you burned your back looks to be mostly first-degree burns how you feeling I feel good you know the car the seat got real hot before you know we run so long under green air and I told you know I said the first stop somebody sprayed me down with water and I've had this situation out before you know and your body just gets too hot you just start getting sticky inside and I started feeling real bad and I told them if they'd spray me down and just pack ice in my check in my lap here you know to where it just cool a seat off around me because you know with with me in the car I'm so long leg and sitala got to move the seat back and down and it gets it on the floor and against the roll cage all that stuff does is just radiates heat back in me and then you end up sitting in a frying pan basically and you know I've been in this situation before like in the mailing cars and I don't much like it but you know you got to live with it after a good run a medium-rare Bill Elliott here at Talladega having a good effort here and a good finish here in the Budweiser Ford Thunderbird we back with more from Talladega Superspeedway after this stay with us take a look at the quest for the cuff standings obviously with the win Davey Allison will remain in front but look at this Bill Elliott moves all the way to second position now in point Harry Gant third followed by Alan Kulwicki and Morgan Shepherd moves into fifth position to the point so it remains a very very tight quest for the Cup championship Earnhardt Labonte Bodine Martin and trickle the second 10 in the points or second five I should say in the points now as far as the order of run down here today Allison Elliott Earnhardt marlin and urban six position through ten call Wicky Jarrett martin shepard and teddy well our next Winston Cup race will
