Grambling stone fences and white clapper buildings this is pastor old picturesque New England a hotbed of stock car racing you better believe it a quarter century these fans have waited to see these Winston Cup drivers and finally there's a world-class facility here to showcase their talents all the stars are here and so are 70,000 jacked up race fans they've waited 25 years and they just won't wait any longer [Music] today a dream becomes a reality here at New Hampshire International Speedway every one of these 60,000 seats were sold out on that snowy winter day when they went on sale last January today New England proudly says we too are part of the most competitive Motorsports in the world ken Squier bidding you welcome to the biggest racing day in New England history now it's a misconception to believe that we New Englanders don't like our racing from the very beginning there's been some great racing to this part of the country you go back to when World War two ended and all that energy came back to these shores that's when it started over in Vermont where I was born there were 18 tracks could run five nights a week and it was pretty much that way all across the United States but in New England we had a unique problem we had established sports now the Red Sox the Bruins Celtics are here basketball was born in Massachusetts and our newspapers told us that anything that you couldn't put through a hoop or swing at was alleged not to be a sport my how times have changed today Motorsports is accepted and appreciated on all levels and this million-dollar 300 mile race is a crowning glory for all of us New England racing enthusiasts a fellow no Englanders going to lead the call today here's Mike joy thanks Ken like you and my native Connecticut Racing has always been big among those who followed us now everyone are doing this attention is on this beautiful world-class facility another Downeaster weld down eastern United States Alabama that's where Neil Bonnett from but Neil the reception that the folks have gotten here have been mic we travel all over the country and certainly people cater the Winston Cup crowd but I don't think I've ever seen as an emotional affair is this pre-race from last place to the poll of standing ovations the fans have been great up here they've had good racing through the years I think and turn the Wooster Cup drivers we're gonna try put on one of the best shows they've ever had well the fan response has been tremendous but there are some familiar faces here like the one on the poll he's been there before but Victory Lane that's been another story for this driver here's Glenn Jarrett what thanks Mike and that's exactly right Mark Martin has his second poll of the year but an unusual point he has not been to Victory Lane this year mark you have had the dominant car so many times you've led so many laps is today going to be today you can turn it around I don't know sure hope so I couldn't be happier with the way our deals going the way our car is running and everything this team is really doing a great job for me and this might be the day but as we saw at Michigan you know you can't win if it's not your turn we hope today it's our turn well you've got our onboard camera in-car camera with you going to give us some great shots sure hope so this car has been great ever since we've been here and this is a really nice facility so we're looking forward to this race good luck to you mark now I got it we see week after week on the Busch grand national tour is also here Jeff Burton who normally runs Busch grand national racing has qualified six a great run for him in his first Winston Cup race Randy Pemberton standing by with it well a couple of unique features about you first of all qualified very well second of all the car that you're running today is a sister car for what Mark Martin has he drove this car at North Wilkesboro you're sitting in it today good qualifying effort what about 300 laps here well we're real excited about this race we're running real well yesterday morning we ran super now yesterday afternoon we picked up a bad push so a little bit hesitant about what's going to happen but those guys are my crew they made a lot of changes I think we're ready to go okay good luck today Jeff also in this crowd today a couple of other at least one other Busch grand national competitor Joe Nemechek will start in the 15th position and incidentally Mike I think these two guys have the most experience on this racetrack it may well be in fact five drivers in this field around the Busch Series last year nd for them qualified in the top 20 a driver who you last saw on national TV bring his car to a halt on pit road a bit dazed in the Pepsi 400 last week is with Buddy Baker Daytona you like it's in pretty bad shape how are you doing now and tell me a little bit about last week because I mean you stopped in pit road and they look bad yeah I'm doing okay now it took three or four days to get over but what happened was it was hot and I think the heat contributed to it but I got in that wreck with Jimmy Spencer in those guys and knocked all the inner panels out and you know how it is when you get the carbon monoxide your fingers start tingling then my legs started tingling and went numb so I told him to get somebody but we couldn't find anybody and when by the time they told me the pit I didn't know whether I was on pit road or on a race track to tell you the truth so I just stopped and they hauled me out we couldn't find anybody to get in the car but I'm doing pretty good now what about today are you a hundred percent now yeah I think so you know it's hard to say I'm still a little weak I think still having headaches rip pretty bad but you know with enough tylenol and enough water I think I'll be able to go let me tell all of you something the Patti family is notorious for going all the way this guy would make it in fact buddy Richard Patti was seen running for his helmet to go in relief of Kyle but he was not an eligible relief driver last week didn't that have been something Neil long straightaways and big butt flat turns on this racetrack what are we going to see Mike I think anytime you come to a new track the crews and the drivers and the engine builders can expect a little bit of problem getting a hold of racetrack and the right power source and just getting everything dialed in for the race some of the teams came up and tested a few weeks ago but that's out the window now big heat wave in this part of the country tracks totally different so I think the thing we're looking at scramble all day try to get the car dialed in during the race and see who's good at the end but I were more used to four and 500-mile races on the Super Speedway this one's just 300 this one is just 300 and this is 300 is going to be a doozy because they can sprint race this thing these drivers are capable on 300 miles flat out and they're going to have to do that you can't wait to the end the race you're going to get there in a hurry we're gonna say some quick bracing early in this race and one driver we will see today is Ken Schrader suspended by NASCAR for illegal carburetor parts during last week's qualifying he won the appeal still got the fine but Schrader and car owner Joe Hendrick are here and Kenny will be

horrible start didn't he was that him dropped back on the start yeah what deals he's in the piss now something else to happen stranger beaten on it okay I could've transia something was rubbing in the steering or when you hit somebody like you know that just barely touch but it can move a lot of things can't get it deer or something there you go okay I don't suppose Burton wants to talk to us on radio but what happened probably not want to go patty [Music] welcome back to New Hampshire International you're watching Ernie Irvan screw they had a lot of repairs to make from damage from this incident gemperdt you see is back out damage to the left front and rear let's show you what happened back at fourth spot well you see straighter he tried to avoid him he got all the way under the yellow line but Burton come down they made a little bit of contact and there's a lot of cars that were damaged in this thing 21 car cuts when you've done you can see them right here and they jammed up in the center park there you know they got together going down in turn one as this came around I said the four car takes I'm pretty good link right here from Burton the 21 car has a lot of damage to the nose area of it the four car took the effect the hardest little decide here's Jeff Gordon in car waving his hands going down and coming in the corner here they are right behind of this where they

Terry Labonte in for the baby Allison in fifth Mark Martin had told before the race started said he's going to be little cautious don't worry about lead but his car must feel really good because he is leading the race he must lay back the old bear crates they used to use the dog [Music] I think that sealer was more of a safety feature this is a great little racetrack they just never had to deal with this type of heat before first time they've ever had it up here but they're just a safety feature with no record high temperatures today we'll be in the higher 80s but with Morgan riding with a hottest rookie on the tour Jeff Gordon of the DuPont Chevrolet there's little bites out of that wheel down and turn one buddy yeah that's great shot there he was talking to his crew chief just then down the straightaway he says go get on the microphone [Applause] we talked this tractus ship they say it's 12 degree terms in the corners but look the kind flat said the car slipped right there if you went in the corner it looks flat from inside the car that 12 degrees goes away in a hurry you gotta look important back to terry labonte who had his best qualifying start of the year Dale

relative heat in the racetrack we'll look at this a few times during the day and if you look down to the lower right corner of the screen you'll see the temperature of the track is in the green range thus far which is more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and expected to go much hotter some other interesting pictures from this camera as we go throughout the day that the white end of the scale way at the top is about 270 degrees Fahrenheit [Music] now let's match up the infrared shot with the cars coming through down in the below a hundred degrees of the scale except for the tires he could see there and the heat from the exhaust it's camera in the infrared part of the color spectrum way above the red the juicy measures heat production not light reflection you're not adjust your set know

fenders off the tires other than that he's okay they were glad to see the caution flag darrell waltrip you mentioned I got off to a poor start they had a plug wire off at the beginning of the race and now they also have gearbox problems but they think that they have his problems corrected too so these early cautions K these guys a chance to do that repair work get caught up without losing too much time and to build our lularoe so they're working under the hood along with the rest of that crew and since we're under caution we'll take a pause from New Hampshire International and be right back

smooth driving style might serve them well here that along with the fact we watch the telemetry while though you can see them using a break the lock set track to go to this but it requires a good bit of breaking it in this cold that roads awful then also Ginny spats it underneath Morgan Shepherd a little bit fitter shot at the cabbage we were talking about the floor rollback right there that is bucket ugly the front of that car with the table thank mortgage holding them up a little bit but he really got a lot of him back up on the back bumper of Sterling Marlin he letting go although he

into this Speedway but the state of New Hampshire has really worked with the track folks with traffic control have never heard of this at a Winston Cup race they're going to take interstate 93 going south and of the three northbound lanes two of them are going to be southbound five lane south and only one lane north on the interstate after this race you try get all these folks home as easily as possible the cooperation from the whole state of New Hampshire has been terrific Bill Elliott Weiser Florida jr. Johnson underneath red bowtie this battle back in 18th position still on the lead lap [Music] looks like they'll may have a little bit of tire heat right now he's dropping back a little bit but roof is starting to work you notice these cars are starting to pass on the outside here those extremely loose Joe Nemechek into dentine Chevrolet first Winston Cup start he surprised to see him on the senior surgeon next year because I'll say no they built that car at their shop it runs same shop the worst part physical what's the colors type racing and all that damage at the first erase and usually if there's not some problems goes right to the front so I can't help but think that brick did something to the car Rusty Wallace got out voting on Lake Winnipesaukee had some fun like around here they had and hurry [Applause] [Music] he's up to 60 start 60s position right now Wallace started deep in the field thirty-third he qualifies if he just made him an heir himself the car was really good and you can see it's working pretty well right now back yesterday a second-round qualifier also lugging the bottom come back out 53 laps complete Dale Jarrett just ahead of Ricky rut he just passed him the last lap that leave up into fifth place judge will be coming if you'll stop and think when they had that first almost t-boned the guy and made a good move and we've brought up into fifth place his cars worked well both these two cars Neil meron and the pied Chevrolet of Ricky Rudd Jarret snaked his way through the field rut had to get hard on the brakes but then on the next I went from 11:00 to 7:00 get back to the front that's where it goes one caution it cost him the next one he took advantage of both pretty well evened out for him you know the Hendrix cars are run except for the will we look at the 18 car that has an agent from Hendrickson toward the front their stuff is really working right behind Jarrett there's Dave Marcus down on the inside [Music] [Applause] storage trailers the first time they've ever been able to entertain their customers please not only the fan sports it's just nice to see the companies the CD the way the governor here while ago I've told you these people are behind this type of last of the independence in Winston Cup racing Marcus is charging bobby labonte I can move around Maxon house car [Music] up at second place mark mark now [Music] with Texaco Havoline for we would show you the later and a bunch of lap cars in between them mark is good at working his car [Music] yeah I think right now he's got a little bit of we'll watch the fan sign tell thee [Music] a lot of these cars some proposed some lose they're looking for that car first pit stop they can make to make some adjustments these cars at lap 10 but none of the leaders have why'd you push it you see the hands on the far left [Music] we're in left our mark as he puts way out that outside light find places to stay here dump the cars off the pace missing the handle barrel off its gonna lap down smoke we loaded on the Jimmy means car [Music] you notice the car itself a fishtail north corner [Music] 60 laps here on three Speedway for green flag gas stocks that's enough thank Mike these guys would II don't know how long they can go here we are the worst [Music] we car come right up on your trunk like yeah but you didn't feel it like normal [Applause] [Music] you slow down in the corner and they run pretty soft Jesse's gone [Music] yeah he's got a pushy condition and he gets outside it's going to get out there further we have a push condition you'll run to the Sun [Music] he made the pass on Jimmy Spencer run a little fern [Music] - right - the saddest picture there was alone [Music] one of the ten days of summer enhancement starts don't worry they'll be winner here [Music] Martinson second ad Allison third all [Music] is Terry Labonte Mika's Earnhardt and 10th with Jimmy Spencer I'm watching right now you can tell we came up north because they've got snowplow sponsors on a lot of these cars and hard time nothing we can do with him down south [Music] sixty four laps complete Sterling Marlin out front we'll be right back to New Hampshire yeah I did [Music] we might do something with Labonte brothers if they get close together [Music] you watch that 28 or he is steady catching it baby it's always good I get a good thing they learned it Birmingham and stuff like this you know [Music] [Applause] [Music] Sterling Marlin son of cuckoo Marlin who himself won a Daytona 500 qualifying race but never a Winston Cup event missus Sterling's 260 fourths career start the most any driver who has won a Cup race started before he victory lane 25 starts before he won at Martinsville in 1975 I got a feeling when Sterling Marlin wins his first race he thought a win six or eight in a row it's just something you know once you do it to get the you can go and do it again Bill Elliott did it he finished second eight times before he won his first race and lentil court where he went we had a pass for second place Davey Allison took it away from Mark Martin while we were in commercial let's show it to you from our Raybestos breaks helicopter mounted camera took that inside link that we've been talking about that's so critical get down in the corner then beat him right up off the corner now that he's past me but he's starting to reel at leader talking earlier today about David [Music] good example and Birmingham is flat as a pancake and is where you did a lot of racing for he moved into this pole sitter mark mark his first win of the season here's Rusty Wallace moving up on Jimmy Hensley this is for 11th place puppet turn one started way back in the rear Rusty's will a shark from the nearby Fitchburg mass or stark a couple years back on the circuit his older brother ride is here today [Music] Rusty's trying to get back on track the first the season this team right here the two beautiful they stuff the toe will come with their hands it's a problem that it's a big Rex therefore Stettin words begin with was hey over teakettle a couple times I'll tell you they were doing [Music] trying Jimmy Spencer right here [Music] and moving up on carried away [Music] cause we were looking out of the back of Spencer's car as the arrestee made the pass route Spencer's car was way out in the gray area he got really wide when rusty got under yeah II think and pitstop that we've seen here is when these cars of course will abrade a bit of rubber off the tires it doesn't go very far some tracks it'll go way up to the way up to the wall and set up there like a Dover second place we've been here in New Hampshire you get just the leap little bit out of the groove and they'll be all kinds of in a little rubber debris up there or yukata this the lederhosen this some of these lab cars have really gonna look at baby behind him and he's been held up about two laps of the road with a couple of these cars the last two laps Jeff Burton trying to stay on the lead lap in the second place car the market still this year murdered at Dover last time we were on now the key is sits thus a car got underbid AV get up and take advantage that inside line also called before he gets trapped behind he's he's laughs cause Bart spit right now they're getting ready cow patty the a car most ever vegan around lap 75 but the water exception to that this part number 11 of Bill Elliott he has been in the top 15 all day and his back her up Brett Virginia just told me they could run 95 we hear Jimmy's picture within now he's not on Davey Allison when he pitch there's there's a lot of noise coming from his car looks like it's misfiring in the corner could just be an exhaust leak and we see some great [Music] working on Spencer's car he will likely lose a lap hitting under green they knew Allison card misfire initial misfiring in the right direction [Music] well fire baby drops under Wally gamma back Jeff bodean is on pit road so is [Music] to caution flags early we've been green all the rest of the way so the same traffic that the two lead cars had to work round slows you down to had to take that outside lane around you know you got that six car out they wonder how far I go and his team car just pitted they'd get a good fuel mileage wreak with you six quart sized appeal Jimmy Spencer is going to get a black flag stop the boat penalty fee fast down pit road [Music] you know I'll rephrase it that's a bad penalty you need a flat track you can make up the bank track sterling wire little brats Greg sacks making a pit stop it looks like what because they would get back all these races the land third full race and really worked their way attention right before other field at all yeah good run at Daytona had a really staff line of admission come back and they had a great race Kanna fell apart and now they're backed up in the front - take that penalty they were going to hit [Music] we're looking at lap 80 now they said 75 that's being real real cautious I'm sure Whittle different facility don't know that bottle get but some up ago stretches rusty Wallace's for tire changes on almost all guitar this should be something quick as good X you see all day this thing is tough rusty watchers meet the head of a discussion of what they're going to do to tires for tires they took on four made absolutely no adjustments firemen have coming in he was clip it off the leader speed so rusty was one of the quickest cars on the track so they're looking pretty good seventeen point eight seconds Randy for four tires now the quick on the track with the steamy of the pits identity that was real fast you know [Music] as far as I'm concerned [Music] we're bestest pranks for Bobby Allison a rather all others team and Mark Martin idling down [Music] I'll petty is in reply stop resistible this'll give us an idea we just saw rusty Wallace's for his four-tire stop at 1600 second 17 I'm Stephen we'll see what this will be four four tires he's don't like this block is in on the right of your screen [Music] all the left before we head back out of there buddy enter he got the tires changed through all some time but he still had to back up also to get out of there lost more seconds comparator Rusty Wallace on the pit stop the Sterling Marlin also Dale Earnhardt is into Ernie Irvan Bill Elliott making pit stops under the green Danny Meyer just throw that gas can across the wall is empty he can throw that car across the wall if he wanted to well they just said we had a cold the 24 car wanted to come into the pits he slowed down to coming in and got brought by the other car so it really cost me now he's got to come in this law [Music] time thirty-six seconds per hearty stop in the fifth here is Jeff Gordon riding with a missing Road watching that tack very carefully so he doesn't exceed the speed limit past an eternity going down to the you know it just has to be going if I could just go before he's read that tachometer coming in obey the speed limit as the right-side tire changes completed [Music] the left side in the air pink those tires off [Music] and all that [Music] 20 first reduce a must be wellness first engage up by the Elks their team is so quick it might everybody else looks them slow ready already [Music] is that kind of odd we have not seen chassis adjustments just tire changes I'll tell you I think that's what they think they're doing I think they're chasing the racetrack and almost afraid to make big changes you know they just let the driver get used to the track they just about to not do anything but do that and get back out on the racetrack they add the yellow work on Bobby Labonte makes his stop so does Bobby Hillin as green flag stops contention here at New Hampshire [Music] we didn't get any more faxes [Music] up somebody's didn't warm up here the fever car we've sent more than three [Music] I don't think so [Music] 9250 Ellen before he'd stay out he'd about have a lap on the hill it's a 17 anything ever does [Music] no I think they've all stopped he has Eliot's talk about Walter of an arrow where the lamb down but did he stop right he might let back on the lead lap he probably didn't stop yet because he made all those stops under caution [Music] hey Dave email earlier but a lap down on that gurney had stopped of course he's probably already honey had enough stop for the same reason okay gotcha but I think still I think already went a lap down I think I was four position guys cuz early have not stopped because he stopped so many times under caution well scoring is showing it as a lap [Music] all right well Gail Gail just get left my name here is Holly laughs yes no replays all right scoring is correct they stopped at the same time welcome back to New Hampshire International look at the right front of Jeff Burton's car it is not turning after he turned it into the wall up in turn number three many people thought he might have a top 10 day today his flat track experience in the Busch Series but he's gone up and into the fence and now to the garage area he brings out the third caution flag of the day at lap number 90 as they raced back to the flag Davey Allison beat Ernie Irvan to the flag Lake speed took Davie all the way down to the bottom of the racetrack so he could stay on the lead lap Irvin was not quite as lucky the kodak car is now a lap down to Davey Allison the race leader Sterling Marlin is second according to our unofficial rundown Mark Martin is third Mike Waltrip in fourth and Darryl Waltrip may well be back on the lead lap as the rest of the cars on the lead lap pitted Waltrip stayed out because he pitted earlier remember going to lap dancing he's back on the lead lap and now he'll pick up the tail into the line Vallely also making a stop here under caution you know Junior Johnson with Elliott said they were gonna go a long run if they had they would have put the whole fill all Afghan just about but they pitted right when the other leaders did this speed white was a big gamble for Bob there he built it without hope of a date from any major sanctioning body but he's a self-made man he's been in this position before here's Ken Squier this is Bob bears contribution to speed in action New Hampshire International Speedway done it all himself signed the notes paid the bills his Yankee ingenuity first appeared in the midgets the Bhairavi won all were the likes of men like Bill airborne Eldridge didn't have a high school diploma but that didn't stop him from owning a bank shopping centers housing developments in a way of life that a dairy family farm kid could hardly imagine Hannibal Hamlin's house vice-president under ape Lincoln South Paris main acts his home today and here behind the gruff exterior that love of speed in action is his passion his classics Duesenberg Packers Mercedes they're called 1oz single editions originals a lot like the man that now owns them Bob Baer looks just like your garage at home Neal huh I got a pickup truck man what a collection I'll tell you this was the old Breyer Motorsports Park they've been running motorcycle races here the annual Loudon Classic for more than 40 years here and in the streets of a nearby town of here in earlier Laconia they've been TransAm sports car racing here stock cars and drag racing on the old facility Bob Baer bought it refurbished and he knew the fans would support it [Music] Top Busch grand national racing until add this you see a motorcycle events I'll tell you what just like those classic cars this racetrack prashant itself an orbit facility built five different race leaders so far seven leave changes average speed just over a hundred working the third caution we're getting ready to go back to green here Marcin to the garage though they've now been joined by Jeff Burton's car on the restart Davey Allison will be on the point remember all these cars just made pit stops prior to the caution Sterling Marlin is second Mark Martin is third Jeff Gordon is fourth fifth was Dale Jarrett 6 is Rusty Wallace seventh this Kyle Petty 8th this Ricky Rudd Joe Nemechek is Mike popular bodies in the 10th spot jimmy hensley 12 Terry Labonte 13th is Rick Wilson 14th is Mike Waltrip and 15 Lakes feed Bill Elliott Darrell Waltrip Brett Bodine and Geoff Bodine are also all on the lead lap there's about a dozen cars one lap down including Ervin and get on the inside line right there the 55 car or on the side got a shot to get a lap back right beside the ELC ted musgrave in the US air Jasper we are back to grain Musgraves gonna try it he's going to get it [Music] ernhardt finds him here comes Marlon for the lead look at all the momentum Davey Allison lost after that Russian slide [Music] Gordon's car Alison charges get sideways again also back in he has washed white a few positions from [Music] see they dig bar right there see Rusty Wallace me the inside of Alison sterling marlin in the race leader Mark Martin now second [Music] this car Rusty Wallace [Music] issued a reprimand down [Music] prior to richard childress any more contacts let's have a look again at what happened as Alison the race leader Earnhardt on the inside trying to get a lap back the 55 car took that inside line 28 out there Barnhart goes in there and gets right up at the they also look like front end on Earnhardt the car might have broke loose a little bit sure got in that quarter right there they look like they might attack him a little bit also got Davi out of stride showed him out outside lane he lost a lot of positions Allyson currently 5th check that make that fifty six seven well guys are on the Davey Allison they're really concerned about it was a dildo on the right hand side tires Dave is a little concerned that he might lose the car going in after the restart he throw down then he thought he had a flat now he's saying he's got something loose on the car so Davey doesn't quite know what's wrong with it but they're gonna try and ride it out a little bit get a little field work we'll get Nia let top groove down in 1 & 2 the rubber kind of sits up there after you've been running down on the bottom it's real easy to find the marbles here you don't have to step too far out of the groove will they talk about buildup no but these guys have just prior to that cost of two or three laps they've got need in their tires the caller came out they want to get again so in turn three stuck a lot of that buildup on those tires will take a lapper to get cleaned off and that's what he was questioned he just didn't had the feeling one with car that time the factory stores Florida Dick Trickle 75 the outside trying to move back up on Rusty Wallace that was poor not trying to make a while ago [Music] let's look like it across the racetrack [Music] looks like he got a pretty good shot and then left rear housing of the car right right here we'd see that there's no right that gonna leverage sure did the body work I was concerned about damage to the rear now see it's hard to tell right now the other thing about the left side of these cars and you see how much clearance they need they're just that reason like airplanes the fenders missed the tires by sixteenth of an inch because it looked like they took a torch you'd cut it off just get it out of the way Jeff Gordon in second place ahead of Mark Martin his best-ever [Music] but once the race started his car settled bail this cars been getting better [Music] and this kid [Music] you really drive that racecar well around the 6th also to watch the fort used to be buddy you guys to go to Darlington to get the Darlington stripe on the outside right rear corner left rear on the inside of every one of these cars has got some kind of bang on it well there's a lot of racetrack there that we don't use here you notice about the last 15 feet of this race mark mark on our eight hundred-number hero get tickets for today free-range mouth proud to be associated back here for many years to come that might go about half the grandstand for his friends up there feels like my Wallace lighter than for the result everybody in New England wanted tickets for this race here's Earnhardt again trying to get back on the lead lap Sterling Marlin trying to cut him one lap down the tight battle down the front straightaway he's trying to do it the old-fashioned way to equal cut Ernie [Music] I went to the front earlier he's in the lead now back down like Sterling's hit somebody with a nose of his car we saw it earlier a bit of damage right on the frontal area of his car but not enough to hurt identify one thing to show you here three and four is a little different from one and two they come off turn number four here as you go down into turn number one and it's almost it drives like a straightaway [Music] come down here and then all of a sudden there's this little straight squirt and then you're turning left again to come off the park three and four looks very very different meal like it's almost like it's more of a rounded corner than a square corner yes it's got a good Arco way through three and four like you say ten to one you get in you think you've got the turn made and you get back in the throttle then you got to turn again so it really works the guys from the middle of the one right up off the second corner back you just try to hit a happy medium as well as you can but give up on the warning the emotions are kiddin back straightaway a front straightaway that really make the time here you see sterling for little side plays off the corner there at New Hampshire International or 105 laps complete [Music] Carrie you just whose love to take us up with that shot bumper you can see the groove look at yellow keep see the tire marks go down and go away Sam what's your car come by watch the tire mark nothing to do it hard crash against members the groove itself you see how yellow it is this harder here hello do not have gesture set [Music] [Applause] [Music] good one coming up it's going to be Jared Wallace Alison well you're right about that they're catching Jeff Gordon [Music] welcome back to New Hampshire Mike joy with Neil Bonnett and Buddy Baker 108 laps on the Lord like Daytona Beach here's our Cincinnati electronics infrared camera see the temperature of the racetrack still at Green Zone where it was real easy to pick out the groove where they're running especially where those right-side tires put a lot of heat into the racetrack that camera measures heat not light then there's a lot more heat on the left side the car simply because on a track that's flat like this where the car rolls over in the corner they put both exhaust at the left side of the car and that'll way you're going old exhaust camp you're out the left side pit body rolls over and hit the pipe on the right side so these new people go to the left side this racetrack we expect the track surface to be up this day area race leader Sterling Marlin he's putted some these first hundred laps hard to avoid contract contact avoid contact if you want to keep your contract I called Gordon John okay what okay what I'm gonna tell you if he keep running like is he talked about the contract ain't gonna have one to talk about 31.5 seconds last night see home with a big difference what most guys have to be right in the bottom if he gets you up just like nothing on the outside he's still much too strong run over the corner bottom top he's got it working he where he won't see right now thank you [Music] today she wants to who's car what car you're gonna want to tell Earnhardt's cars the children's team is going to take a second car to talented now if you get the car you test into the car that they'll one Daytona it'll be a different car the one he won with in the Firecracker he'll run in the other not very much good I guarantee you one thing good about that deal when you mash that button on the right side with your right foot let's go to joke you can get about 80% of mammal second place is about to be a bachelor to Jeff Gordon and Dale Jarrett moving in we shoulda saw this coming jake has been qualified working in the rear of the field all the time and then come to the front he had a good qualifying run this week and his car is really working Jarrett brought in a second place in the points on hearts to a lap down so this is a good chance [Music] Rick called in from New York wondered why this is only a 300 lap race when most of the others are are more and Rick that's part of the negotiation sanction for the event and I believe it's part of a trend by NASCAR as they add tracks and add races to go to somewhat shorter distance events fans still get to see a lot of great racing [Music] doesn't take up the whole day for folks that need to travel a greater distance coming or going I think that's a key I think we got a story a little bit more you know how can you tell them you leave a track at 10 o'clock at night and be a work on money more [Music] some 24 million people live within just a couple hours ride of this racetrack here's as of today this is going on all week long ever radio station I heard he said please do not come out Sunday we're out of tickets is very rare you attract advertising to stay away but I mean they were sold out the first day they opened up ticket sells they were gone Vallely up battling rick wilson vstp Claudia a spot fifteen make that 14 position for bill before this is a TV because people would say what it's gonna happen is just too strong they got too much material their build legs the driver just wait too many good people involved a babe from South Carolina wants to know what numbers gonna be younger 31:31 [Music] for three plus one yes [Music] Davey Allison Rusty Wallace moving up on the second place battle that they are 2.1 seconds behind ster the point that second spot we have for cars in your ride [Music] with our our burner up at the rear and show them out a little bit they'd be pushed in the car and now he's feeling it again and his coming back the car came way back in the field earlier to the front looks like he's ready to do [Music] I play the game [Music] the problem 18 is about half of Rio he just went right at Wharton they're shuffling it up Dale Jarrett has gone to second there you look at the second-place car from inside third place whiskey wallets right in the middle of the thing he said there in about 40 boys we saw it on the stopwatch not critical that wasn't after this thing shakes out [Music] that's a lot of distance on the racetrack we go around with half a car laughter laughter a lot of questions money about Richard Petty last week if they tell know why he didn't get it the exact answer although we're not sure if richard got a NASCAR drivers license for this year [Music] every racetrack however he did not practice a car for that race that's one of Nascars fool driving practice leo yeah but he really wanted to get back in there you know he didn't know how started to fall out better maybe they asked Linda better I'm not sure what a migrate bill alia threat will die Quaker State forward running at it here it's trying to work his way up have some problem this actually goes on and behind him outside hit the spot he was really happy to come up here Brett Bodine was for all the folks that get a chance to to say hey you know I guess would be like going back to your high school reunion with you'd say here's what I do for a living Dick Trickle to beat the flagman outside the fence and turn to we will get a caution this comes at lap 123 it's the fourth caution flag of the day Dick Trickle and Barbara hilly and Butch walk back three stores for we right back to New Hampshire after this [Music] it's the best line you've had all day oh oh oh thanks let me talk to Rusty way that wait'll he makes the stop that's up to you guys when you get stuff cleared isn't it probably come out leaving what specialist they'll steamy their dick yeah that's looked like motor trouble there look there like it's on fire what that's what I thought the buckets got their cleaner on fire or something the man's are trying to restart it get off back burning cleaner I blew what do you mean the best thing I think we might try rusty if we how do we clear this with the crew to be able to talk to him plus ripen didn't they clear it first okay [Music] well you can ride up Mount Washington the noise you'll hear that gear noise that's the cog that this steam engine drives the cog it's a gear drive down in the track so that doesn't slip and you don't go sliding down the mountain in a hurry great way to go to the top of Mount Washington here you can also drive up Mount Washington but not in this car right here like that cog you hear they're so trickle got him to push him off during the call should have got restarted but there's a lot of heat coming out right through the air cleaner opening on the top [Music] so for the problem within them all that's midway down the backstretch you see where the road course goes to the outside of the track here at new hampshire trickle getting a little assistance as pit stops continue [Music] cars a lap record down making their stops this time around will reset the field for you when we come back to the nation's newest super speedway Loudon New Hampshire the slick 5,300 live at the national network [Music] look we're rusted that now after that pit stop no look as he made a stop I want to make sure he's made like ah yeah he's in second okay thirty first a second paddy the only thing I wanted to do was does somebody check with him on the radio first ether those guys to make sure it's okay to talk to him let me hit the mocha rusty okay but that was what I meant was okay okay okay I got the right channel here honey let me just check with him okay

you driven a Ford lately you see the results here of four hard years of work a lot of years of planning and dreaming this was the field in Bob bears dreams a major super speedway complex for his native New England but stymied by the permit process in trying to build anew Bayer purchased the aging briar motorsports park in Loudon New Hampshire a multi-use facility that had played host to stock cars sports cars and motorcycle racing van bear dug deep in his own pocket twenty five million dollars deep to build tunnels pour concrete grade dirt and pave asphalt and when he built it he pondered would they come well I don't know like I said we'd like to have a cup date and write to get a cart date but right now we haven't got anything and I think when we get it done in people see we might have a better shot at getting something then he's got it all he's got a grandstand fill of race fans he knew they would come and now so - of all the major sanctioning bodies green flag as you watch it from our Raybestos breaks aerial camera leading them down to turn number one at Sterling Marlin and a determined concentrating Rusty Wallace in tow Earnhardt gets underneath Wallace he's the second car in line again trying to get back on the lead lap poor rusty started way back in his field the two car in second place it's up in a sterling Marling the body casual contact I have just touched again tail wags on Marlins car Earnhardt's under him in the back straightaway sorry laughter he's not give anything up this might be an opportunity for us T Wallace in the two car under the three trying to get in there for them I need that one such a good run and it got together again there just a bit there's rusty come down the inside that was at opportunity we're talking about there's a 12 Parliament three now [Applause] she's signaling Spencer I couldn't tell what there was a bad he stuck his hand out the one they're going down and the third turn Jimmy Spencer moves underneath Rusty Wallace Spencer is [Music] get up under Rusty Wallace listy you'd like to have that inside line and try to work with that leader you just saw what buddy was talking about rusty just didn't have the steam up from the middle of the corner on out to hold Jimmy Spencer that time we have radio [Music] like speed a sacred character [Music] [Applause] back at Wallace from Jimmy Spencer [Music] joining it back on the tail end of the lead lap [Music] better restart [Music] do sir ernhardt got his lap back but he has not shaken Sterling Marlin until right bumper to bumper with the three car unless they pay some chassis just there's your leader Marlon like a great port investor scar the tracker an art through a while there's Wallace Davey Allison second and third [Music] [Music] we look up he's coming that thing of his has really been working good Dale Jarrett's home team they're running in force battle there one thing about Rick Hendrick's Annabelle's motors for other people they're just as

what could happen away from these other guys he's going to wait for the right opportunity I think he's gonna have to take that inside lane to get around the 3 car I don't think I know it's gonna give him that thing making food on the inside I think the 8 cars gonna have to work the inside to be able to put her back down while they're Spencer up behind each generation the best of all is that the

be rubbing where the stuff Brooklyn's [Music] I there again therefore people don't realize this when you turn one of these things around backwards everything when these cars are designed like a bullet on board way outside going down in the corner and here comes traffic must have a tire going down they'll have to come in get that thick but as you turn ramp backwards the air actually snatches that stuff off the car he's coming down hey watch this car go by every time Bernard said I think the brakes are gone a little bit they're gonna have to bring them in under breathe his tail [Music] we had a tough day yesterday Randy at the woods mark race here as you saw burned up a couple of right fronts you know he said he doesn't the metalwork space the wine [Music] he breaks down around his post

stick to the halfway science look 5,300 sterling marlin trying to win his first Winston Cup and Winston Cup race grand national tour didn't Northam swing 1964 267 they went to old bridge New Jersey bridge Hampton New York up to Fonda New York and I slit Thompson Connecticut started with the series [Music] is the first Jeff Gordon on the inside by mark [Music] was they working a tree little bit like you did the first two rings one pitstop so far the next should be coming in about 10 to 15 [Music] out of the car so the track must be getting tighter and tighter we seemed working that wee little bit more he's anticipating that took some bite of it maybe not enough our phony questions the 800-number is that a lot of Road race cars you can adjust [Music] five down sorry [Music] going away [Music] get on the brakes real hard going into these quarters it's gonna be hard to fool those fakes maybe he can just back up with that [Music] hey Alison trying to inside as we give you our Napa field standing update because there's no unimportant parts Napa Davey Allison looking for sterling marca Marlins lead position and that looked like he headed inside line he lifted a little bit Starling came down Alice has been really mean but look at the two car he's sitting there right there with him found my breaking banner pick back to Rusty Wallace his team really works on her breakfast stuff his keys and Bob with Rovers [Music] it's Martinsville plus about 100 miles an hour where you it's really important [Music] have or you call it a TAS the last Winston Cup race in New England when it was called the grand national series Bobby Isaac won and route 2 in the championship in 1970 five eight smile the Epicure the only guy in the booth that want to race here he's hit the wall here see right about there then goes along with it but and they're a couple places outside the road for some movement there we've got the news about the eight I thought he could come right back but sometimes he faked that run he's got a subtle everything back down hit the car and you get that feel back and [Music] Paulie baby's car is able to run through the middle of the corner just a little bit lower than the eight car roam free right in the middle and get in there now I want you to make that look close right there try to make the run up off the corner [Music] [Music] to be better daddy wanted to Mikey seems to be able to make a lot of room but a distance up in one and two losses son many three important [Music] either brakeless or without braking effectiveness [Music] here's a question from an old-time race man Michael why the cars don't have or they used to do that all the time but now everybody has the same cubic inches you still you had an option three-sixty sector or ever but now everything is 350 giving ages and with the billboards on the hoods there's not room for members at all when you raise them the great school didn't they used to put the horsepower on the hood though the go [Music] as you said these are running billboards anymore look at this Texaco car right here where would you put anything what should that to have a line might be right two forts in a Pontiac battle for the lead here at New Hampshire International 160 laps next time by [Music] you know sometimes that had in ancient builders tell me how good the motors work hood are big enough for the numbers they tell you [Music] now Wallace is right back up to the teeth boost series we talked earlier run a car hard give up tires on backups work hard only to long ago Rusty's wounded me but here's Davey tried that move off turn to again as they come out of turn - it's quite again back to 4th and 5th mark or these three have not exactly checked out a little bit of distance [Music] they screens to stop it guess who has the bandage on that - car complete up as it come off this corner there are your three liters Marlin Allison Wallace there is Dale Jarrett and here is mark mark jared is 2.3 seconds lead pack moving up on the Western Auto Show view Darrell Waltrip and Wallace is back caution everybody jumps out of the throttle there is debris on the racetrack well it was getting close to that green flag stop these guys to be glad to do it on precaution somebody dropped something out at turn number two so something happened to Rusty Wallace we saw him fall off he was the first guy he pedaled it and acknowledged that yellow boy what happened there the spotters hear that from the radios and they call the Reverend so we're under caution this one comes out at left 163 fifth caution flag of the day will be back to New Hampshire after this it worked from Davey Allison about what this track might be similar to on the circuit well it's got a lot of similar characteristics to to both places Martinsville got long straightaways and tight corners this place has long straightaways and tight corners Phoenix is a one-mile track and it's flat this is a one-mile track and it's flat so it's there a lot of similarity between the two who knows what's going to happen here this weekend maybe we'll get it figured out good enough to win the race and maybe we won't but it's gonna be a lot of fun anyways there's anybody down at Jeff Gordon mostarda to see what he's doing to try to cool the brakes or anything he's not having a great day daddy you know maybe somebody in the pits can add one of the maybe run maybe get muddy Parekh to call rusty and see if he'll talk if somebody's down there gave my second out of the deal a four hundred caution how about that Michael drain us how about that that piece founded tonight the historic footage [Music] no no we did that but we got a little historic footage says a bunch of stuff Oh Rick happy birthday rodeo that's already sick that car is Bubba is it true pit road it's a busy place as you ride with Jimmy Spencer hitting right behind Ernie Irvan [Music] white Club the windshield little sulphate ammonia there he felt the right side come down off the jack [Music] those cars going up in the air they are battling for position one lap down back about 18 spot get a penalty as low rick mask they both pitted too early under caution when pit road opens the cars on the lead lap get to pit first then a lap later the cars one lap down so both Earnhardt and bass will have to restart in the back of the longest line command and rear wheels locked up he has nothing but rear wheel brakes that's that's worse than having none they go to in the corner you see the skid mark so he came in and lock the rears and nothing on the front you go to that corner hit the brakes wants to chatter the rear wheels Earnhardt came in here with a 250 point advantage over Dale Jarrett now to going back under the hood and a look at the master cylinder it looks like one of the crewmen has a jar brake fluid there they'll probably go back I'm trying not to lose a lap here see if they can come back it looks like they don't go down laughs anyway pace carnality rayline is up was another lap Davey Allison upfront Rusty Wallace Sterling Marlin Ricky rut got a good pit stop he's up the top five with Dale Jarrett the furthest any driver has come to win major league stock car race 43rd starting spot Johnny man's won the 1950 southern five murdered in employment to change tires when everybody else did he came from 43rd a flock in 1950 be safe with a trick what I think so when it starts 43 cars too many places anymore five liters five lead changes amongst them creeping up now Boston 22 gosh um so far only six cars officially out of this race hood goes up and down on Darrell Walter star take you up through the gears of Mark Martin when they come around you see the indication it's in second gear the move yellow line on second once

the corner [Applause] telemetry not through moving up on Dale Jarrett [Music] or is that Strickland needs a relief driver [Music] [Music] the stretch was under Harry Gant and the skull Chevrolet is one lap down he's the 17th place car Rusty Wallace when I started off the season with a bang win after win but this is the first race it's ours igloo stop think about that Mike they were so strong early and to go this far but I think something like this to get back on track [Applause] [Music] that's the car but it has to win a race pretty soon they'll get it all work every type of people have never give up 174 laps Rusty Wallace Davey Allison [Music] in front of this pack Jeff Gordon sixth-seventh is Mark Martin and Kyle Petty is up to eight Jeff Gordon move right up on the back of Dale Jarrett now [Music] maybe a little bit a lot of these cars sometimes the frontal area they cover but duct-taping they might not need it do something then here's why you told me other than got a great problem they cold out there [Music] good job and we hate that at this happening but we're going to have to try and finish a graceful cancel we're just gonna have to let the brakes cool wanna get on that pretty much tells the stories guys he's good right now but when they and there goes mark Martin underneath Jeff Gordon to take the spot away we said he looked a lot better anymore Burnie urban almost into the wall you saw him there out the right windshield of Jeff Gordon's car excuse me buddy he got way up in the marbles and almost to the fence almost do thatI know we stay under green this track but we've seen a couple of cars that groovers name is 60 you could get into too hard like mistake for some of the track several cars lose it be able to stay off the wall get back into the kitchen you sawed off the windshield of Jeff Gordon's car the one you called attention to it he was out there's the gray stuff when sit back in slippers and that old marble stuff out there [Music] almost what I call timeout there's hot Stricklen [Music] Nealon you said Jeff Burton was going to stand by and relief I was a little skeptical because NASCAR has a rule against rookies driving in relief Randy Pemberton thought of the answer that's right we just won here before like we talked about before this race just got as much time on this race drag is anybody out here so unless is it there Hut Stricklin and they think is something from food poisoning he gave down a little bit sick last night the priest says he sounds alright but he's very very weak in the car [Music] Franny I think there's a pretty good height difference between Strickland and Burt Hut is a good bit taller in there okay NASCAR has waived the rule prohibiting [Music] seven [Music] [Music] that puts mark Barton into the top five let's take a look right here - six card you can see how much duct work he handled the brakes we're looking at Jeff Gordon well he's got a small amount of brake area this six car look down on the lower front area that car all that entire area is opened up her brakes I don't think he's gonna have a problem here there Congress leaders [Applause] [Music] how much of that has to slow the car and how much of it is to set the nose going just about now the brake drum zone he keeps that reco most of the guys here these cars are capable of good [Music] with mark mark down the back straightaway bark trails by 4.6 seconds in there derrike cope getting over passed quickly by three cars center of the screen jimmy hensley picking up Purolator sponsorship for three races for the

that car still flapping a bit as it has about since the last car I should be able to with Rusty Wallace leading at 186 laps in New Hampshire International Speedway we'll be right back why [Music] look at this the cornflakes have wrinkled his cornflakes box what do you think people say when that McDonald's car goes by we say Hut Stricklin go to court oh geez I didn't think of that that's why when he had to be the card that's hard to go things out of coffee but I am I've seen that commercial you know about the meat what it chooses that's different from what we had before let's do it [Music] all right well then let's do it and get it done we got to do it let's do [Music] okay [Laughter] there's a good question what is Gil Elliott going to do next year good question [Music] if some guy amazing rusty and David [Music] [Music] sin-hye in the White Mountains at the foot of the presidential range is the Mount Washington resort it's the area fog Railway hogging along here and Davey Allison are

of Bobby's best runs and Winston Cup racing he's been in the top five most of the day he has won Charlotte he had a very good temper maybe caution I can't help effect where these Bush drivers lose moves up to Winston Cup he's almost hesitant to get out there and reassert himself around the Winston Cup guys and take chances they come to the place where he's got more experience track wise mystic of gas then he really stepped up to face the bunnies knows he's got a long time deal with his cars just working for university pepper I see he's doing a good job in the top ten up front Rusty Wallace over Davey Allison Sterling Marlin Mark Martin and Ricky Rudd and two front five there is the separation here's Randy Perez he goes down the straightaways it's amazing to me the car is running second Davey's having a good run but they're talking about winning Davey comes over radio says I think we need to take a bite out of it around a bite out of the car when they pit about 18 laps their McReynolds and crew chief says baby we really want to do that right now I know it's splitting hairs but we want to take a chance on doing it baby comes back and says I think so so we'll see what happens if they make one chassis adjustment I'm bent on the driver yep they don't listen to that driver that guys will put a robot he thinks that thing I can't help but think that cater table man and take that just see if the card is better because they've still got enough time to just race the next ocean they put it back in that's right as well as he's running how far back did he fall [Music] now here's one barber from Arizona calls in the photo finished both cars finish in a dead heat who is the winner well it's a dead heat they split the money and they've done it once and I think the fellow who was involved in it is sitting on my right yeah I keep telling Gayle cable on the car flipped out about three inches and I have to run about half throttle a newspaper their heat that's ever been before for third place in the 1974 firecracker 400 Buddy Baker and Cale Yarborough and they split the third and fourth place money you know I don't even remember yes I believe that shows you how important money was did you notice man I just love the sport I never did going this thing [Laughter] from 33rd - the lead the fastest second-round qualifier he has six tenths of a second on second place Davey Allison 2.9 seconds further back is Sterling Marlin at third behind marlon 1.6 seconds to Mark Martin and then a second and a half back to Ricky Rudd you know we had Randy tell us while ago debuted like one roundabout car it almost shows up when you watch he's a pro closing in rusty could turn that card and vote babies lose a little time on the citizen as just a little bit quicker Wallace and Allison who pass Greg sacks [Music] let me tell you in the garage area they keep that lemonade on the back of the tractor-trailer Reagan there's a lot of giftie cubs laying on the ground and in this week I'll tell you the garage they were parked right next to Bill Davis the Bobby Labonte rig with Maxwell House coffee was coffee it's been a record here [Music] a high humidity today we should have got the suntan franchise of your suntan lotion all the ten days of summer here and bobby labonte battling for ninth position and have been for about the last 15 or 20 laps yeah Bobby's doing a great job [Music] and 11 car there taking a real smooth line [Music] they just haven't ladies poster he's not one here buddy - in six Bush starts he's finished second twice in four times in the top ten it's just hard to track like what it takes to get around so Bobby Hillin Ilyich Meyers Donnelly car just ahead last win I'm not a noble track for a four Wow Morgan Shepherd back in Atlanta in March the snowball with the snowman fire you know that's kind of deceiving there because they have had cats [Music] the last time Bobby Labonte and a runner inside there move up on Rick Wilson the STP Pontiac [Music] and that looks like Rick might be having a little bit of birth grow also [Music] [Music] Rusty Wallace moving up on Michael Waltrip in the Pennzoil Pontiac who's at the tail end of the lead lap we'll be right back to New Hampshire after this [Music] well here's a call the 800 number why is NASCAR showing favoritism to this farm I'll let Neil and so I don't think Ronald okay [Music] yeah Valley babies coming at this time but they're trying yeah they'll be able to make it but they can go 100 laughs I don't think they're gonna have to go 90 to 90 food [Music] gasps they can bake I would think I haven't seen anybody run out about having four tires Charlie Gant they made another debris french-canadian possible I mean that satellite man [Music] I carried it down here myself it sits under yeah [Music] [Music] okay [Music] back at New Hampshire coming up to 90 laps to go and the possibility that these cars just might be able to make a pit stop here and then go the distance Rusty Wallace your race leader has just lapped Terry Labonte the 14th place car [Music] they were discussed with rusty Assam house [Music] buddy an amazing story you guys we're running late run our our cloth I wasn't addictive what we could run today in he just don't live mice the guys I messed up all right we're gonna [Music] Miller Genuine Draft Pontiacs doing right we fighting bloody parrot veteran crew chief Richard Petty is 200 wins put a lot of drivers in Victory Lane and Rusty Wallace several times this season already one of the real organizers in and he'll motivate you to that or not well sometimes with a hammer but he will no motivation derrike cope in the Bojangles Florida Cale Yarborough overlapped by Wallace Go Fish shorten up the interval to the second-place car there's Wallace there Davey Allison more wins for rusty this year eight top-five finishes baby also had to deal with a lap car there try the lost entity game get close to that pit stop they you know if they come in I can't help but think they can go the rest way that's what they're gauging they're trying to last stop 86 laps to run first green flag goes jobs her about last time anybody among the leaders was in was lapped 164 ricky rudd he's been closed and then on him and with this four position that's right rod is the fifth place car and Jarret who is second in the points Groudon Earnhardt today because Earnhardt having brake trouble is two laps down three laps down I see the guys over pit wall or stacking tires up getting ready to come out just a few laps were these guys having to come in and has made a pit-stop what past Mark Martin like I thought there was something wrong the markings car but it was just Gantt having fresh tires and here's Jarek trying to make the news perfectly he made that look easy ricky rudd loses the position that doesn't lose any ground to Dale Jarrett just picks up record now in sixth place still it still one pitstop to go should we stay green one of course will form his own team next year take sponsor tied with him and who terry labonte will replace him in the ring organization [Music] moderations needs to tackle racecar driver very much like what they're just they're getting kind of the same type of racecar driver ernhardt has just gone the third lap down to Rusty Wallace word is pit stops about lap 240 if we stay green but if one of those lead lap cars comes in two gets fresh tires and starts clicking on fast laps [Music] you know you like to be able to make your own calls you like to use your own judgment here looks like we're making that driver change right here there's no it's trickling out of the car and Jeff Burton being strapped in buddy you see the gun right side there he he's in there helping stop this guy in because there is a difference this will be the last pit stop for that team came into the pits one lap down now he's a few laps off [Music] there's a good race truck driver there mr. case who on our team a little bit and Jeff Burton comes on tracking into McDonald stock [Music] couple of races this year Burton [Music] getting cooled down [Music] Rusty Wallace 220 laps 82 go no Neil sometimes the all kind contracted behind [Music] like a stomach problem [Music] to sporty their that thinking it was time for him to get out of that car there was touching on something before that happened you like to be able to sit down do your own strategy and decide when to pitch when these other teams start making you do things you know hit early and then like you said Mike I can't let it boil for me guys so somebody's going to make a move here in a minute the whole fields market and a roll with a bunch of change them chains area kid what's he going to do well give you an example deal mark Martin's the fourth place car and he's gaining on Sterling Marlin Harry Gant got fresh tires fifteen laps ago he passed mark like mark was stopped again is now a straightaway ahead of Mark Martin let's go under Jeff go down there that car is just flawless truck I need a pose drive anywhere he wants to we talked about gluten flat track driver Rusty Wallace is named near the top of that list those two guys the oven chef beau Don's as good as their guns on so Jeff is the 13th place car that leaves us 12 cars on the lead lap here at New Hampshire with at least one pit stop to go and another 75 laps of racing we'll be right back man we need a race here suddenly you're not kidding well Jeff Burton's flying look at him go pass ricky rudd just zoom how's that I can't hear you I don't see a race on the racetrack right some days are like that I think six in the eight car turn - how about that buddy yeah yes nothing you did well I said that last time they finally caught up to him the theme gained in a little bit and then he turned the six car side okay good to know you know we'll let him speculate a little what can't play it out [Music] Rusty Wallace continues to lead the inaugural Winston Cup event at New Hampshire welcome back to our TNN live coverage mike joy with Neil Bonnett and Buddy Baker Glenn Jarrett Brandi Pemberton on pit road this has been the best race on the Speedway sterling marlin just got up to and past for third place behind Wallace and Davey Allison sterling star lettuce Winston Cup career at Nashville Tennessee is home race track back in 1976 at the age of 17 a circuit pretty much ever since second at Daytona earlier this month looking for that first Winston Cup win today could be today Mark Martin looking for his season's first win mark Martin's car working with Frank well you think exactly not on Banksy mark him and take a wider line there this battle seven seconds behind the race leader [Music] just like my cristela earlier I mean you just can't give up that kind of time one of these leaders might make that early call the different seals so far nobody on the lead lap has come in for tires now Jeff bodean as you see they're just coming out of but more spit as soon as he got lapped by the race leader he came in for tire Sterling Marlin almost in the fence it turned to come way up in the marbles as we've seen several drivers do today Dale Jarrett has to check up in the middle of a backstretch [Music] finally goes to the inside I mean you just when he had that propagate is going to drop anchor and start over again yeah you get in loose stuff up there all the shavings off the parrot zone right [Music] they got up and he started sliding in the Rockies Montag the wall he just had to stop on [Music] I'll show it to you again you get up into that loose stuff and get the tire debris on your tires and start sliding and the second thing you think of is if you just get me out of this one I promise I'll be good that's when easy now you get out there next up and you say why did he stop so slow we'll get a kept going he ran in the wall coming off turn two I mean you got to get it nice is to get the car stopped where you get into three groups going my place these fellas were battling for ninth place 100 laps ago and bobby labonte [Music] what we saw let's go Labonte on inside left my side here he goes off the corner pulls him off there Labonte is able to get on the inside of time and time again best finish this season six [Music] I would like to made a bet to this nobody winning the Powerball thingy or whatever that was yeah big lottery check Jeff bodean almost hit the wall in to a minute ago he got up in the car well let me tell you these guys this is the longest green flag run they've made they're stretching it to get into that real safe window just it with a few laps go this is the longest green flag run they've made and they're using up their barriers a little bit more these cars are eight seconds from going a lap down there are 12 cars on the lead lap Wallace the leader Allison second Martinus third Jarrett for Marlin fifth Rudd is six Gordon seven petty is 8 then this battle nine ten Elia is 11 and Jimmy Hensley is 12 Jimmy Spencer despite the boot that we saw early he's right up on the wall that it wanted to get the same thing happened and the race leader in traffic Wallace spits war he was trying to pick up the pace and not go a lap down to lose another lap he sailed her off a horn the lap before and I mean he was a big bat to knock the fence down now Spencer is racing Musgraves there for position and Navy Alison closes up in traffic on race leader rustic [Music] you know we talked earlier debut someone got around to bite out when you talk about how much time was left now do you take it out when he comes in they're gonna look at one more run you're gonna have that opportunity a real baby wait this thing to decide they want to make that major just that's the good part guarantee every laughter talking about what can we do [Music] about five laps from having to make that decision based on thus far today there are 65 left in this race [Music] this is close if we save Davey Allison get to that to car [Music] pick up the pace up right here but sure closed it down [Music] to top five finishes in two horrendous flips this season and his wins have kind of come in spurts and it could be on another string here Spurs man what what surprise Rusty's taken a 91 an entity for a driver to help stuff like that just doesn't affect someone like rusty knows good save race card they got cars can win races how to take them in stride to here rusty talking about Earnhardt you know they they really have a competition second-to-none the way they'd love to race each other right [Music] today could be the day let's get out of Glen Jarrod well Mike more promise for Sterling Marlin others begin coming out of the overflow in the car I asked in with the Gucci he says yes the temperature under cars they're regularly scheduled pit stops coming up in a couple left try to address that problem but it's awfully hard to accept rule that car there [Music] Helene's from the anybody but are hard fans here at convention earlier in this race Jimmy Spencer is in he's two laps down but they can have pit stop and they got tires up on the wall for Davey Allison baby stops we'll see the rest of the leaders in very shortly pit board is out for Allison here he comes or those new tires gonna feel good because these guys were slipping this life a little bit it's these four new tires on these other guys can't wait long gas came in the air for ricky rudd as well there's Davy Ted Musgrave is in there he goes it there's that thing they'd be requested half around they satisfied each other they want to have around that was a negotiated sale it is they go to pit road baby said did you take that read that listen you sure they haven't found out from the right rear boy without a compromise so now jimmy hensley and ernie irvan come to pit road Hensley was the 12th place car on the lead lap Rusty Wallace continues to lead is Sterling Marlin [Music] be slowly down pit road boy [Music] and right there the concern with Shane and filling the car I don't [Music] with a little kite a little over 21 seconds the problem doesn't get any worse Kyle Petty has come on to pit road Glen and so is brett bodine here's Rusty Wallace the race leader discussion as to Brust he saw Devi come down pit road the para guys were talking about when the bring rusty in the problem being his name he goes often with fresh tires he's getting around the track a lot winter [Music] we'll see I don't know if it stops like seventeen point four seconds there on the Keystone clock that will be pretty good for buddy parrot in the crew to get rusty back to the front here's Mark Martin's team led by a Steve Mille he'll get four tires mark came in to the pits as the second place car this will quip Jeff Gordon into the lead Bobby Labonte is in Ricky Rudd is in getting four tires so is Rick mast and Michael Waltrip bring his DuPont Chevrolet to the pitlane see ricky rudd going out passes my bobby labonte in there on the left we welcome Elliot who comes out Jordan drops in pretty every Avenue go to work [Music] we saw rusty Wallace's stop while ago get an idea what's happening here with this team this will leave Terry Labonte as the only driver on the lead lap yet to pin now that [Music] three seconds different than we or did Shepherd is on pit road and so is Kenny bouchard's we like this top decision will be right [Music] that's gone [Music] well yeah J Beasley yeah but then is Davies leading rusty goes to collapse but not by much knowing but traffic rookie coming oh good point that's easier oh we need to say this look at that look at this look at this look at this look at this you drive me crazy you know that well that's what that's what Shane you might know I'm married gunfighter right [Music] look at you why did it look at this special coverage of the select 5,300 is brought to you by Coors Light the Silver Bullet is Roseann it was a billboard they were practicing I'm gonna have to do my Swartz and maker if you show that oh oh well why is there no tread on the tires oh come on buy a newspaper buy it read the magazine pleasure foot smooth eat Donald that's a good question but you know we got a lead battle we got a leaves battle mmm tn ends exclusive coverage of the slick 5300 is brought to you by Coors Light the Silver Bullet is the right that's a wheel off rusty Wallace's car it's a sticker tire one they did not put on on this pitstop Wallace went for scuff tires Davey Allison put on sticker tires Ju you would think stickers would be better they they opted to go with the scuffs they might have found something in practices going there whoa we'll find out here in a minute because that's about as close together I think you hit on it earlier when you said the two laps that Davey stayed out on fresh tires got those quick new tires quicker than rusty and they didn't get back always saw what a tremendous stop rusty had Dave you had a good stop too but those new tires might have been the distant then also to be fair while we were away as Darrell Waltrip goes to pit road Davey did get caught in quite a lot of race traffic and rusty was able scramble back up on/off the cars that were on the lead lap you see Terry the body just behind Rusty Wallace he has gone a lap down after these pit stops and also Kyle Petty had a 33 second pit stop it has gone one lap down so that leaves us on the lead lap with 50 to go with Davey Allison Rusty Wallace mark mark Dale Jarrett Sterling Marlin and 5th Jeff Gordon Ricky Rudd Bill that's it 9 car stereos [Music] if I could touch you David gets out front down to tuck his drive away for us to left he had a little bit of trouble getting math from my photo cards there and he I think do anything he wanted to do but he got in the pack there and I'll tell you track positions you said is very important Davey Allison is now opening up a little room on rusty we saw like that chassis adjustment that they were you know they were warning and they compromised with HAMP or rusty could get those left side wheels our local [Music] you know it's a place if we think about these cars went 3,500 pounds you can correct those wage boats 10 rounds so fine-tuned and a half around but some differences up it's amazing running as well as Gustav Wallace's at this moment he just got messed up on my back wall joke good stop buddy the winner gets 175 Winston Cup points plus five points for having led at least that last lap of the race every driver who leads a lap gets five points drive 675 four first 170 per second it drops down five for seven spots that have drops down four points for a while then three points for a while all the way back so everybody gets at least some developed by a bob latta that nascar publicist back you know it's kind of amusing but when we did that and the season every year looking at three or four guys within just a few points to win the championship rusty underneath Morgan Shepherd 50 position two laps down that Rick real early must have heard he because his car was really good I think it's not awful face huh [Music] they laugh around this track at an average of about 125 miles an hour again you saw it's almost a 3000rpm difference from the middle of the corner to the end of the straightaway sir merely slowing it down compared to their straightaway speed what we see on the telemetry 160 going into the turn right at 160 miles an hour - Henry cars battle for position one with weight trouble one without one without with trouble his having trouble you know there might not be too many fellas in this sport better at conserving their car the Ricci slick track round just move past Jeff Gordon and run in the 6th place one at Michigan last month or top-five finish you know a flat track of gathered round for [Music] [Music] stop see what you get into traffic [Music] very smooth Arata wrote it now here's Rusty Wallace again second place chasing Davey Allison he got into a little traffic trouble here let's show you couple dirt go there we go Rusty's cars went really fast in the middle of the corner here and Applegate 19 technical careers Oh now that looks like you know a thumb but there's only a two or three mile an hour difference between the speeds in those two cars at that point and it certainly it's enough to feel that is it isn't enough to upset all of those cars or the property run right there but like you say it was a 2 mile an hour lick it did cause him problems ashoka guy ran but the real problem we we parked cars with bigger bumps than that target rental cars will be not that will admit to let's admit to a commercial and come back with a finish it select fifty three hundred new hampshire international davey allison leading Rusty Wallace [Music] [Music] you looking for this potato watcher 1.1 between the first and second right now I believe the sticker mommy but before that he was pulling oil a bit [Music] David begins to think your finger that's a game you know you play some like you said the bear do [Music] - television all me well I still got a long token okay Lucy got some splaining to do [Laughter] [Music] [Music] here's a good look at New Hampshire International Speedway from our Raybestos brakes helicopter camera and you see there's almost a straightaway between turns three and four up there Neal it's a little bit of one almost makes it a four corner racetrack certainly different I tell you what but when they like that we really thought about what they were doing this enables these cars to get around this thing without getting a lot of coffee we see cars have trouble and we gain control that's what I was like this car has meant less trouble today Davey Allison he's tracking has had a bit there Dale Earnhardt brake problem summer has slowed Earnhardt's progress he is 27 three laps down and his closest pursuer in the points Jace Dale Jarrett is running fourth right now so that may be a difference of 80 or 90 points that Jarek could pick up today he cannot take over the lead even Bernhard were to fall out of it moves over let's the leader pass my wallet just ahead of him is only one lap down well excuse me has just gone two laps down there's a lot of car kyle petty is a lap down the other Felix embodies car Kenny Wallace the Dirt Devil Pontiac right wizard [Music] I place right there yet the lap down Kenny is three laps back as jimmy hensley racing kyle for ninth place and just behind them bobby labonte he's also one lap down that's all for position not including Ernie Irvan who was to last [Music] see the 22 card he was up there earlier her body was at their place with early atlantis back there with jimmy hensley and here's your nap the field standing update brought to you by Napa because there are important parts we have caution on the racetrack Oh Sadie thick market might be the breeze I don't see anything with the truck 30 laps to go and is a degree caution NASCAR has observers stationed all the way around the racetrack to see if there is something on the track that could cause one of these drivers a safety problem and there it is what is it might get inter tight enough we can tell what we got here Mike it's tickets to next year's what's up it's a hub of an axle that comes that's the hook cap that holds the axle in the rear in housing it's got four little bitty allen head bolts and it's come out of somebody's rear end you see the lines on that thing ever lens it lines up his look studs so they know where to put the wheel on that's spite broken axle I definitely puncture a tire if you run over it so they did the right thing there by somebody's going to be wondering where their axles they that holds the axle and yeah when they go to hit the accelerator and only one wheels turning I'm gonna find out the hard way and Whittle a pit crew member tries to put a tire on will see it first start smoking pretty good too so Davey Allison sees his lead go away as a piece falls off someone else's car you think f-stop yeah would as much as paint nail as much as new tires mean here there are only a buddy there's only seven cars on the lead lap I would think you'd have there's your answer right there I would say they will nice of you to guess now mr. bonnet so Davey Allison leads Rusty Wallace down pit road but everybody did not stop here's Mark Martin in Dale Jarrett Brett Bodine comes down pit road and you see the two pit stops from among the leaders now of the cars on the lead lap here Sterling Marlin Ricky Rudd and Jeff Gordon also in Rusty Wallace fast on pit road again 17.1 seconds or they continuously do that Davey Allison 19.3 what my played that looking for a little more offside it was rusty got in his pit first and they started quicker but still you say rusty going at first on the watch a 1.8 second difference all the cars on the lead lap pitted let's see what happens [Music] tell me yeah I noticed that and I didn't want to say it till they did but ooh Michael walk up what made it the body we're not through yet we're invested well miss now when it looks MIT it Spitzer took it home no Ashley Hensley yeah missed it hit it missed it hit where did it go oh there go I think maybe shouldn't you mean nobody went and got it Oh give me his name Stan what okay well we got to use that we got to get better camera money hey how about our how about our historical footage Michael coming back a little bit of that check this out what's that look at this good reverse 22:45 okay anslee we're back under caution here at New Hampshire International Speedway 6:1 today we talked about that Hub lying out in the middle of the track watch this Jimmy Hensley the 7 car did all the work for NASCAR he picked it right up and took it all the way in the infield Stan sobolik our cameraman gets the shot and here it goes he must shoot a lot of baseball about that size he'd be good you have got ball on the driver yep and their groves crazy let it roll right up to the safety truck they've just over door I got it hey Stan nice job by that scissors lift and this from our Raybestos breaks aerial camera mic dvo boston's piloting the chopper today at george shaft of melbourne florida is our cameraman one lap to go and we're gonna find out who's who wins this here at New Hampshire after the run down pit road Rusty Wallace is the race leader Davey Allison the second Mark Martin is third Jeff Gordon is fourth Dale Jarrett is fifth Sterling Marlin is six the Jeff Gordon tries to clean the tires moving back and forth Ricky Rudd 8 is Bobby Labonte and night is Bill Elliott there's the habit buddy parrot with the belt overhang of the week I tell you one thing is gonna be critical right here just like when rusty makes his start that guy that breaks that inside line and gets around those lap cars they can't get that inside line and Davy doesn't write on the starter to be critical leaned those tires good boys Bobby Labonte is going to try to get back on the lead lap here he and Bill Elliott and Kyle Petty there are racing for position Jeff Gordon sat near in for run a good race all day mr. Wallace used to be more the best of historical treasures both of the leaders are going to be able ear the lap cars before they get down in turn one to go Ronnie to Chevrolet's you know Mark Martin might they just sleep in giant here that cars run him well he's taking a look inside of Allison Elliott inside of the Bonnie no that's for position right there that's for eighth place let's go back up toward the front second place Davey Allison third place mark mark Lautrec donkey farts got the inside leg or turn one which one of these Ford's will be up there to challenge Rusty Wallace [Music] that would benefit him Martin makes the pass Davey drops in line and they will again try and run down the Pontiac of Wallace Center for this race got a lot of race car park trading get after anybody on this racetrack more motivated to win erase the mark mark he's a vacuum cleaner a little air can look at the crowd going behind the Davey Allison coming up or she already holds that drop there this time buddy where was so 8400 while ago that time not quite as much rpm she had before right away don't you don't run and ricky rudd comes up takes a spot from Sterling Marlin the a car that will contact about moves up to six Rick math had Terry other Carla body glue underneath kill aux machine coming back Jimmy is a lap down Bonnie and Jeff bodean for position and Morgan Shepherd [Music] like he and Rick Wilson mayor got here but Akeno caution he's got going [Music] we stay green for look at Mark Martin now we saw rusty and Davy battling back forth all day long when the shallow though mark mark was coming in on the two car [Music] Marthe almost got a piece of that [Music] - car Rusty Wallace [Music] it's a pretty shot where you can see that leader you got it back to us let's talk to you again Marcus and Rick Wilson together going down turn one Wilson to the inside mark Marcus didn't quite get that wall out there this was a nice fight this track you got a bit of room to work with and we stay under green Mike Walter comes to pit road with a Pennzoil car to the attention of Katie Haase the crew another jobs working in the kids any family Rusty Wallace on that last pit stop he certainly didn't like the way he was not able to catch Devi prior to that last caution they took one round to fight out of the left rear try to loosen him up just a little bit and go ahead and let him drive it so he could get a little loose by the end of this race but at least he's got the ability now to free the car up to come off the corner and now you're watching pretty loose you're right he still got 20 laps to go in this way [Music] down on Jeff Gordon [Music] Elya racing for a spot but Dale Jarrett and Ricky Rudd are trying to get up in battle Jeff Gordon fourth place while separating trying to finish this one out he definitely has braking problems I thinking [Music] one car very slow in the back straightaway terry labonte 15th place racetrack you have a road that goes all the way around the inside the end the former Winston Cup champ la Bonnie will apparently head for the garage [Music] hoping to see that [Music] books these are two of seven cars on the lead lap Wallace looking out the windshield usually heard you're riding mark mark the second-place car Davey Allison is third Jeff Gordon to score Dale Jarrett is 56 is Ricky Rudd at seventh the Sterling Marlin and break sacks has been to the wall make contact [Music] like rats down but we'll stay green one lap down eight this Kyle Petty night is Bill Elliott ten Bobby Labonte eleven twelve Jeff bodean 13th Brett Bodine boy lava sparks out from under that car he really got a lot of damage there here comes a petty a thunder Jeff Gordon this is not for position what it's doing race outside that 42 right

[Music] the first ever Winston Cup race literally in New England is rusty waters when Jarrett's widow rusty for a guy 300 miles from 33rd place to first you look pretty doggone cool that car was great wasn't it my car was perfect today I'm telling you motor run great the tires were great you notice everything was great until I really bonehead into qualifying I had to pass this car here in practice I over drove it and got up into the loose stuff and that's our 33rd let me tell you something a little pressure on myself to perform for these guys that work through hard I'm just happy that that Emerson Tracy did good today another Penske team and we were able to do this for them today it's a great comeback we weren't ever down we would just take a little nap thank you well the NAP you took qualifying know which is more important to you though you know charging back like this this race are starting on the pole yeah I mean winning a race obviously I mean it's a great deal I'm just really happy to win this thing can't say enough for the team and Miller chanyeol a draft AC Pontiac Goodyear Roger Penske to hold Penske Corp and all the people make all this possible everybody really did a great job you had to be pretty glad to see that last caution they gave you a chance looked like you and Dave you were pretty even up until that last caution yeah we really were and Davey Peter before we dust we did a little track position ami with fresher tires but that's a gamble we wanted to take we didn't want to get risk run out of gas or something but we needed that last caution any guys as usual but a can of whoop you know what Ottoman who pitched up well you always do that another question out first trip to New Hampshire up here this track this area how do you like this race track to people in particularly over at Weir's Beach they've been very nice to us the people over to resort I've been really great to us and all the fans up here really been out going you know I just can't say enough for everything this everything went perfect today I mean really had a drive hard and but boy the pit crew is behind me and they made some great pit stops and it just feels good to be where I am right now and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do I'm not gonna boast about how good we did the last first floor race that must be doggone glad to get another one because it's a tough deal did you ever have a feeling anytime today that you wouldn't win the race not really I mean a lot of things can happen the last pit stop obviously you know I was a little concerned because you're a second and Davey was pulling me but we need it we made a wedge adjustment right there then we loosen the car up a little bit ice a week and I can drive for 30 laps and I did that in a workout but hey it's a whole team effort to motor run like a stop o'clock buddy did a wonderful job again and a crews just happy and we're really a thick group of people and I hope Miller Genuine Draft all the sponsors enjoy it well I'm sure they do they're a very successful group of people - we'll let you guys celebrate for a while Rindy getting a cool drink of course he's one of them one of the drivers in the better shape here mark sat on the pole could have won the race maybe Unocal bonus but you finished second you got it you got to be happy about the other way the car ran here to there we gave him all we had rusty was driving this his tail off he was all over the place and I was gaining just a little bit on him I thought maybe I could put some pressure on him and get him to wobble out of the groove but as you know as I got closer he got dug in found him a good spot to run and I couldn't do it and then right at the end I just had to fight for my position with Davey real proud of this Valvoline team these cars I believe that this is what you're going to see in the second half from this team and I wish we could've won but they did a great job ran real good they beat us today we miss to just ever so slightly and never really got the car perfect but got it better there at the end first time here you only get a chance to run really 30 or 40 laps during practice so this was a really a practice run as well as a you know a run for the roses so to speak but how many different times did you have to change the car during the race well we fought ours we changed it once and did what we should have done to it and it went jump cornice and we went to the back then we had to come in and change it back to the way it was when we started and of course that was to lose just like it was so then I had to fight that and then so then we started working it again and we finished the race about like the adjustment that we made that was junk so heck we were just we were confused you know we just didn't have quite hit it I believe that we had the car to beat before the racetrack started coming apart yesterday afternoon and that sealer kind of threw me a loop and I couldn't get a hope like I needed to yeah well you got some notes for next time back good luck next time here okay back to Victory Lane with Glen Gerry well Randy the awards continue here here this is buddy parrot the crew chief that the rusty was applauding so much and on behalf of tnn motorsports and Miller Genuine Draft buddy we're presenting you with it Miller Genuine Draft pit crew awards for that fine work you guys did congratulations thank you very much on behalf of all the team members the other ones who did it you know we did a 17-second pit stop with a new crew member on that last stop and I think that was a lot that told the difference of the story of the race and but rusty went out there and took the lead one time you know he took the lead when we went out second and we gave him the lead then and didn't relinquish the lead so they did a great job and I'm real proud of this metal jingling drafter crew well you guys have been making those kind of pit stops all year long in fact it started I guess about the middle of last year you really work on that don't you well we really do you know but last few races you know we hadn't had a chance to really do anything but today we show we were showing him again you know so everybody was real happy and the guys did a great job and like I said we did have a new member on the picture today and he did a heck of a job well I know that you enjoyed your stay at the resort over

little bit loose and we put a half around a bite in and that really set the car up you know for the end of the race we didn't need that last caution but you know that luck plays an important role in this game and today was Rusty's lucky day but we got to congratulate him because they ran a strong race to come from the back of the pack like they did to win it and and we had a good race had a lot of fun out there racing today texaco having racing did a great job it's fun to lead a race for a change and especially fun to finish on the lead lap but I'll tell you Randy I've had some orders from

been a bad weekend you had a bad qualifying run on Friday and you know they kind of put us back behind there a little bit we had a good run coming up through there made our green flag pit stop and the transmission winging gear so we couldn't you know we lost like 50 or 20 seconds trying to get that thing in hung and we got back after a lap down and just trying to get a lap back you're racing with sterling I'll run or what happened but they got together and he spun and we're just went downhill from there we lost the brakes after that and just try to ride it out well you saw a little bit of your point's lead go away there today to an old friend of yours the hill Jarrett yeah that's right but I think we'll be and we can keep our on the ball and do it we're an XP race I think we can get it back so we're not real worried about right now well then walking up here is the case you folks out in TV land don't know these two guys were at the high school together they graduated together they built their first race car together Dale Jarrett Andy Petree now Dale is chasing Andy's driver it's quite a story but there you had a pretty good day as opposed to what the Indian Dale Earnhardt had that's what's supposed to go in I mean I thought let's get it straight Andy built that first door I didn't know I watched but he told me a lot and helped me get my career started and now we're chasing them you know that's the day that you're gonna have a couple times when we had bad days they had really good days and hopefully we can close this up I know they'd rather it not be a cakewalk they'd rather have to work a little bit harder it looked like the Interstate Batteries Chevrolet was pretty good under y'all day wasn't quite good enough to run it forever but still pretty good car yeah really it around the halfway point I thought I had the car to beat I was kind of riding and as we'd run on I'd start catching them in a Ruth oh we were in good shape then the track got slicker and did and our car became a little bit too loose and we couldn't adjust it to where it was any better so we just left it alone there and I really did think that we were going to be in good shape and have the car that we're going to run there with rusting them but we'll take forth this kind of day that we needed to close this back up a little bit well congratulations again and don't let the plane take off without me we'll be through here in a little bit right okay hope you've enjoyed the views from our Raybestos breaks aerial chopper today right now those new traffic leaving New Hampshire International Speedway but we're not we'll be right back [Music] is rain I wonder if Frankie stood and that's Davey hello it'll be you guys in your airplane deal hmm look at the people lined up to get over this is what happened to us at the Winston we stood outside in helicopter land for two hours while those mrn guys drove to the airport and beat us Childress is taking 18 people and then helicopter at $100 a shot to the airport pretty good pretty good five minutes from here yep no problem the Nashville Network's exclusive coverage of the slick 5,300 has been brought to you by capilla Formula three motor oil add more light to your saw pretty good show here at New Hampshire these folks enjoyed it they finally got to see their first Winston Cup race up here after a quarter century of awaiting and one of the fellows he'll put on the show is with Randy Pemberton Jeff Gordon did put on a show I asked him if he was worn out I said no I'm fine but let me ask if you're emotionally worn out because you didn't have brakes there for a little or at least for a good portion of that race that must have been a little taxing on you well we we can't be disappointed on ok we had a good day all in all we I mean come away with another top ten and almost pulled off a another top five there but I tell you Ray Evernham in this DuPont crew they're doing an excellent job for me in the pits and adjusting on and get me out as quick as I can and we just keep you know picking away like we are in these top tens and we're gonna we're gonna get further and further up during the points but today we just started running out of brakes that was our main problem car was off just a little bit but not as not as bad as you really thought if we were I mean the brakes just heard this more than anything was the track like you thought it would be when you started this race at the finish was it like you thought it was gonna be well I didn't think it was gonna tear up as early as it did you know a lot of people said I think it's still gonna you know come up but like the fifth lap that started coming up and and I was glad that I was up front because it was just gonna be single file for a while and that's a shame because this tracks got a lot more potential than that and you know you can do some side-by-side racing here and I think y'all know I was a good show but you know I the track basically handling wise yes it was about like I thought it was going to be but then you had to slip and slide around the marbles and I wasn't expecting that okay congratulate on a good road thank you can a rookie win the Winston Cup championship sure he's running four points just like the rest of him James Hilton finished second in the rookie chase when he was a or in the Winston Cup chase when he was a rookie the

and has had a chance to look and kind of overview this is we've been calling the lap by lap action for you Ken well thank you Mike joy you know Mike earlier referred to this race is Bob there's Field of Dreams this wonderful facility and I had a couple of thoughts about that as you look over this massive wonderful Mile racing oval up here in Yankee country a couple of things to consider this track was built the old-fashioned way there were no municipal bonds no state bonds no politicians hands were greased on this one Bob Baer actually put up about 25 million of his own dollars fellow never got a high school diploma loves this sport so much this is the thing he wanted to give this New England area it's a matter of his money and a lot of fans money consider these fans who are here today a fellow was walking out yesterday afternoon from over in Portland Maine runs a super sportsman up there and I was saying to him how many races have you seen on this track he says I've seen them all I said really how come you've been to everyone and he said well I just thought it was very important that NASCAR saw how we New Englanders felt about stock car racing he had his money invested in today too and what a payoff for everyone what a grand new facility we have here in New England for motorsports and years to come thank you Bob Baer and thanks to all these incredible fans who've turned out on this magnificent day what a day it was for a race Mike can I think it's a day that all of us who've supported New England stock car racing over the years can well be proud of Buddy Baker your thoughts well I'm kind of like Ken I mean great race I think everybody when they come back be much more prepared for this type of racetrack oh that's definitely a lot of them I have better brake spoons Neal well thanks a great group win for Rusty Wallace but I think the big winner might be motor sports in general moving to new areas big sport is great to see a first track new on the Winston Cup circuit since Sears Point California in 89 Watkins Glen before that and next year the series expands to Indianapolis Indiana with the Brickyard 400 bringing the total number of races to 31 as this sport continues to grow both in stature and its impact around the nation and to the great places we get to go to see it run and that we're proud to bring it to you live here on the Nashville Network for all of us at enn that have been proud to be a part of this first Winston Cup race at New Hampshire for Glenn Jarrett Randy Pemberton Ken Squier Buddy Baker and Neil Bonnett I'm Mike joy congratulating Rusty Wallace on his fifth season victory here at Bob bear's Field of Dreams New Hampshire International Speedway [Music] [Music] well [Music] you
