I hope there are seatbelts on Kevin Hamlin seat because he didn't need it to watch this one today folks quite a view with us almost 170,000 strong in the stands the thirty-second running of the leading down 43 of the world's best stock car drivers ready together and maybe check the whole Center Oh in those positions every yard it seems you told our pit reporters have no shot couple of young side by side from there on back mr. has a fast cars both out on the outside pole and here comes Tony Stewart about Fort Lee they're three wide Jr out the drives in the backslide engrafting partners seven-thirty waterpark Stacy cotton Bart just goes up and takes the Wow look at him go 59 euros Marcus in the Realtree Chevrolet is best qualified hurry but now he but he gets shuffled about the jet copter Tony Stewart but the whole water back in the pack their baby sit on the screen still for a while portions of the restaurant Marcus leg webtoon at this rate of it they'll Jerry coming off the turn force out of all the way I'm trying to see who that car is in front where did Michael Walter come from that's a new country leaders three different laughs I see mark 31 way up into second and here comes and ran upon the a so they got Michael Waltrip in the middle then junior ready one in the past races here at least the last two or three that inside groove I mean the middle groove was not bad but today because the motor Otto value so Tony Stewart in fifth position types of culture excellent now he's leading that middle pack in the military there's DJ now live along with our points leader Bobby Labonte the Circuit City onboard camera Bobby started in sixth oddest slid back to 15th position and there's Jeff Gordon and the insiders last time Bob Orton was running just doing this to rot along with Bobby ripped the fender away and part of the tire he saved the carpet the etiquette will back up car this is the car he started 36 with and one here in April at Talladega Bobby Labonte backed off the crawl if you see that Nanjing cars are closing in enough they had to back off accelerator I talk to Larry McReynolds yesterday after happy hour he said right right he said we saw a lot of it on cars here put the brakes on they are free wat all around this racetrack Betty I'm Kevin LePage with the so depend on other drivers not to make a mistake not sniff everything now there are seven cars in a lead pack single-file in the years past these seven cars would pull away very quickly the lead about five laps ago there now he you need that second time you have been here catch-up in a hurry here his behalf a lap is the owner tried to pass ricky rudd in those two cars got side by side let's check in the heart pit with Bill Evans graded by the new aerodynamic packages on these cars it is so turbulent out there in the draft that the plastic sheet that was on our hearts remain shield that they used the tear off during the racial get the Queen Lucci was ripped off by the turkey lemare he radioed in said you don't need to take it off it's already gone Jr pushing its dad can he push you to leave right now then back up my current position that's like that rope when you get to the corner you go when he got his dad down you can't push the car straight in the corner you get now as he gets on his train way here's a guess body moves up and I'm sure he's going touching the rear bumper of his dad's car you just saw him bumping the moment go that part we had ours where's Junior five million Elliot sounded on the inside and that's it go for now the sideline is just not going there like we've said go too bad surprises for those at the inside line is the shortest way around the racetrack position as you watch Bill Elliott make his move how many times this year have we said that sensational sophomore Tony Stewart is leading today in that star Winston Cup competition the Home Depot colors of Joe Gibbs Racing team showing the way after Ted of 100 gave laps are complete we'll be right back welcome back to Talladega for more Hardware racing as they are now that middle you beginning to work a little bit as well as the outside as with all Jeff Gordon starts 43rd his past 42 cars and he looks like he will lead this race night exit qualify Hey he's been there for about ten laps way forward and in backwards Jerry Nadeau is in second spot just a moment ago and on our ghost the lead 2:19 27th starting spot that's what it's all about then we will see them on their feet screaming and waving Gordon was subtracting him from the outside spear is still in the middle button he's about Super seven position while we saw the 88 car up toward the front of my father's accidentally done left what's the problem well Jerri after they start at 12 DJ said the car was pretty good but all of a sudden the water temperature started going up a lot of these guys have these cars taped off a lot in the front to try to get aerodynamic so with that temperature going up into the 230 range they decided they needed to get out and get some more air so DJ dropped back a little bit so that he could be out of traffic I think the exact same Levani so a couple of these guides put cars that are getting married Earnhardt is leading and you gotta remember Bobby Labonte is our points leader with five events remaining for active today Jarrid also in the contention he's back in fourth in the points so that could be huge this is one of those big hurdles that they had to get over there we talked about all week long now meanwhile back up front Dale Earnhardt senior showing the way less checking this pits again with bill Jarrett just to follow up ray just said that's why even a three car got in the outside lane a few laps ago earned marks temps were going up he called in I got to get out and get some air Maury Dunlap was absolutely right about Bobby Labonte running just a little bit warm drop back try to get two more very very small tried to keep the car cool keep the engine cool seeing how far he stayed back behind the 88 car the 88 car staying pretty far back behind the car in front of him so that can get as much clean fresh air as possible you say well why do they put the tape on the grill the car is going to run warm because the more take you can run on the grill the faster the car will run the Coveney air that goes in gets the ready air hits the engine will slow the car down but you have to get it right you have to keep the water champio around 200 degrees little with as much tape as you possibly can back up front there's the line there's the conga line they try to break each other's way punch in the wind rule changes effectively did these here week was Trotter add about a hundred horsepower opening up the restrictor plate initially to one inch now dropping it back to 1516 so they have slowed him down talladega but they have given the drivers just to heaven they like that and as a result we seem to passing that we have the scoreboard after about the third lap when the 43rd place car was a little over four seconds behind the leader right now the last lap around sad little he was running 43rd is four point seven seconds behind the leader so it hasn't changed so much how about that NASCAR wanted to keep them together the drivers wanted better racing his fans one of the better show I believe we've accomplished that so far as we are 18 laps in it and we've had five different leaders that outside line though here comes Mike Skinner they do Skinner could leave Skinner is in the lead now can you read when we get back to the start things now in fact is showing that he was the leader when the hospital Skinner his best finish to this year here at April he actually finished right behind the guy who's chasing him right now Jeff Gordon Chevrolet's up front here right now a lot of thought with the United for stricter plate to make the Chevrolets 16th some of the Chevrolet drivers for the teams were saying hey that who did the polls about now maybe there are off the first forward affiliate what the Chevrolets have a 2-inch smaller more narrow rear smaller than the Fords and Pontiacs Talladega and Kevin LePage apparently had on top of the family hit road the pipet troyzan and his pro to see if they can I'm buying the pagers running in the eleventh position tipped running but now Mike Skinner becomes our six different leader here at Talladega and the lone chevrolet driver trying to get his first victory it is one hundred and fortieth star back with more from Talladega in Talladega Superspeedway we left a moment ago Mike Skinner - laughs and then the 24 car Jeff Gordon came around Skinner than the inside pack led by Dale Earnhardt has now come back my turn please we have had eight lead changes so far among six different drivers we are just twenty four laps in to the West mommy daddy Marcus back in the little iPad still leading the group on the inside Jeff Gordon leading the group on the outside pack still riding side-by-side single filers chicken in the kevin lepage pitch the fray but jury it wasn't a tape off problem on the front of the number 16 they didn't have much oil pressure so he shut it off there behind the wall right now taking a look at it they don't know if it's terminal or not but it was oil pressure not water temperature they Joe the first to retire here the 43 zero hell for she's got a problem I'm sure pretty sure it's tournament insulted fourth position there was one dimension that woman go back that to mix up his knife at that time I was moved up to sixth and there's the last place Nancy the 99 the 17 and the million seven three of the Jack Roush cars back running in the 40 or 45 seconds 44 30 second position Dale Earnhardt contended with a link the caterpillar Pontiac on the inside of the DuPont Chevy a gift starts a moment ago Bill Elliott hard to believe below he does not war on in September of nineteen that could change today they walk back to our ports leader Bobby Labonte is now running in and Dale Jarrett were back to a force box back when the man there were thirty 1536 to about three laps ago and now they're beginning to move up a little bit space between themselves and the car thrown in fun that attracted Gordon and Skinner got a good run challenge I found in the situation there this for you the outside that Ricky Craven at the Midwest transit card number 50 right in front of Kenny Schrader they have been basically glued together Will Ferrell Elliot Tony Stewart had to make an evasive moody ball bill by Bill Elliott is forty two cars are with them four and a half seconds of each other outside of a 25 kind of pushes lady down to the middle he closed the other so to make that needle the backside then it means the inside in case you have a problem doing smacking enough Fothergill it doesn't hurt quite as much and look how much but Jeff Gordon how much space he lost since the last time bye to that inside one yes the middle group has not been the place to in this race and that's a little bit surprising very quickly that he was going towards the back and said it was soon as he got an opportunity to fall in there behind Ricky red he took that up Kunta well we have 29 laps on the books at Talladega with Burton Stewart Eliot new these fans have yet to sit down I can tell a mega super speedway the westin 500 presented by UPS still in the early laps and there they are from high above Sean of Talladega Superspeedway Rosie in the fine forks hit Pennzoil an hour pins all copter cam you can see them three wide ago bonnie is right in the middle of all of that mix in fact he drove right up there commend Estrada's okay meanwhile back the lead Tony Stewart who led earlier has now his way back which goes down and said let me pull of the GM cars and Richie run 24 something about five Hanson wonderful fourth and then speaking of dropping back the 24 called Jeff Gordon is now back sled to 20th position as he is going backwards the 18 in the AEA of Bobby Labonte and Dale Jarrett are coming forwards and were sailed on reversal we saw in the first 15 or 20 laps of this race I respect all their power they have shown so far in the respect that they do undercover Bobby Labonte far enough now that maybe if you're off a little bit might be himself yes it is if you've not perfect right now you starting to feel in the browser might have squeezed out of flora privacy wide open around the Speedway almost all three have very very strong race cars well they made that middle group work there and maybe that's the difference is having strong race cars maybe they didn't have the right branding partner or whatever the case might be but certainly they're making it work Jimmy may feel right in the middle is the 12 of Germany may feel looking back at Sterling Marlin you see Dale Jarrett on his the right side of your screen and look at this 193 miles per hour ago that's why just a little bit position for see that inside Billy the smooth enough line has made them there right now Jeff brought back the 20th spot from the outside line the inside line when this race is over Jeff bored and go to know exactly hi scar hounds in every position because he's going to be in the most he's already been in a lot of different positions certain been in a lot of traffic we showed you the Roush cars toward the back of the pack including Jeff Burton the guy's second course what's going on with him though ever Jerry that's jeff burton AKA captain provisional i try to get a straight answer out of a Frank Stoddard his crew chief I said you're still where the because what are you talking about we're three seconds behind the leader but what he said is it's an LA traffic jam in front of us we're waiting for the traffic up to wave a screw but in reality disease appeared to be part of a plan because Burton just called in and another he talked to Frank Stoddard when he caught the Robbie Reiser who's the crew chief for Matt Kenseth and said have Matt close up a little bit we don't want to lose these guys in front of us right now their app but they are not frustrated this is part of a plan they're doing okay well thanks Bill we'll keep an eye on those Rocketeer towards the back of the pack there with Robbie Reiser and Jeff Burton running toward the back meanwhile Dale Earnhardt seven-time Winston Cup champion and mr. restrictor-plate Dale Earnhardt senior Talladega 10 wins in restrictor plate competition and Earnhardt showing them how to get it done after 36 laps back in just a moment well the Vikings are a powerhouse in the NFL and how about mr. Earnhardt mr. restrictor-plate what a powerhouse he is at Daytona and Talladega ten wins at these two racetracks 31 fives he just goes on to over 2000 - that make it 2085 right now we can't do that but he just keeps adding to that total whoo-hoo Bobby Hamilton up on the outside was four wide as he goes down the corner and he's just up on the outside he comes off the corner there's Jill host of Johnny Jett trying to fight his way back to the front shown in 19th but I think he's probably about 15th now Rusty Wallace and the Miller Lite Ford Taurus traffic sorry started in 30 now after 20 second tweeze gained 16 spots who's gotta run he'll side by side through the banking Earnhardt trying to hold off awesome bill as you watched it side-by-side actually let's check in with Ray Dunlap well Jerry part of the reason we're seeing while passing here and gear ratios because they weren't sure what this plate is gonna do we've got a variable all the way 294 up door 315 that does is it's gonna change how fast you can come down most guys come down pit road and second year will be about 3500 to 3,700 but robbery eights just got on the radio and told Dale Jarrett why don't you try using first here coming down pit road it'll help get him here a lot quicker he's got to keep so the reindeer is certainly gives you here in a lot of cars trying different strategies something to consider and today goes if you watch bailout who became our seventh different leader today well 43rd layout and in the past several years they have gone about 50 to 55 laps on the fuel I don't believe that they can run that long now with the bigger displays those things up on the rift and the polar spoilers that's gonna pull it they're going to make a thick gift outside at many back in the spring they ran Dale Jarrett out of gas he was a good tender and ran out of fuel end up losing a laugh and that cost him a very very good you have to be sure that you don't learn how to feel The Cosby do it at the start/finish line the time you coast around you're going a little too tremendously he's four seconds behind the leader just for sex bomb the leader and he's in touch with the pitstop that's about 300 yards on the racetrack he made never call backup they blame the Eminem's Pontiac at Kenny Slater is on his very first win at this racetrack back in 1988 4:36 behind here good tough win very strong part of the Andy Petree stable listing the crew chiefs they're talking to drivers the first round of pit stops at Talladega Alabama Talladega Superspeedway 45 year old Bill Elliott leading the way and picked up to our beginning here comes Rusty Wallace down pit road toward Robin Pemberton and company Rusty Wallace makes the long trip down pit road the engine is running so they're not out of fuel but you would have to believe that perhaps the light flash and rusty on pit road basically all by himself the 50 came with him it's a four-tire stop clean the windshield around to the left side Jools still going in the field still on the backstretch watching for Craven to come down pit road his cars still up in row rusty will go off by itself only pub this 2.66 mile track their other drivers are coming into the piste this time around this terrific others are coming again rusty got out in front all the back stretch takes a long time to speed here Jeff Gordon down pit road there's the car number for Bobby Hamilton there Kenny Wallace is there there's the tide car Scott Pruett Johnny Benson is on pit road Ted Musgrave in the BellSouth car the Oh Wallace bedeviled watch this action here those guys got try to get four tires on fill up it is a four tire stop Gordon had to tiptoe into his pit stall the carriage just a little bit loose to the left side put on two more tires on the left side then send Gordon back out car was Jessica did not remove any tape that I saw they come back from lap 49 bill Elliot will lead it down as most the leaders now are on pit road Kevin Graham and Dan Thor ready to service maybe chassis adjustments no ever it's boring see triple pitch behind him the body was all here so where he was putting at the far end he was labeled the beat and now Bernard they come up on the race racing surface remember these were green flag pit stops and they were told in the driver's meeting charity - lets go John Kernan Matt Kenseth one of the rau skaters who is hanging back to it the back of the package at first it stopped a four-tire change they're all survey a chassis adjustment on the left rear to build weapons and as we talked about this part of the plan they run to make sure pit road temperature by the rascai tires 430 working on the outside they lead the group now he will be official this would have to be able to managing to fast down cars or for Ralph's pilot suits a pitting on that laughs 217 the 99 the 97 the traveler has a Welsh engine well that will be devastating to Jeff Burton here comes Mark Martin him to the pits he stayed out and led a lap well now Mark Martin on pit road and he's a very lonely figure a track bar adjustment on the rear now they come rather the left side Martin no complaints with the left rock they could not see the left front tire works on his way Walter mentioning pit road and Stacy talk to those they're keeping a sick child at home far for the first 51 laps as they flash by that time green flag pit stops abut award of the day the first round of pit stops 47 and 51 some pretty deep and the seven-card all of a sudden was leading the race as you run out fuel man well I wonder he was in the on pit road with the six car in the line and looks like he's trying to get the speed I think that's what the situation is the boys take a long time to get these cars up to speed we should be up to speed by now something is amiss with Michael Walters car remember in the Citgo super guard team for Jeff Burt over the wallet too soon that was originally the 15 second he does have a drafting partner of the ticket car of Ricky Craven there you see the cause of Pittacus a moment ago michael waltrip the rear tire changer Joe Nemechek scar welcome back to Talladega Superspeedway at Talladega Alabama I'm Jerry punch along with Ned's here at Benny Parsons John Kernan ray Dunlap and Bill Weber bring you exciting live action to the 30 second Monica the Winston 500 presented by ups their 37 cars home the in the lead draft the 37th place car of Stacy Compton three seconds behind the leader Bill Elliott but Jeff Burton here he is with Rick mast in the green number 14 Burton in the middle and Ricky Craven in the red number 50 they are more than 20 seconds behind the leader and losing ground every lap in fact it over 21 seconds his last time take a look at our coke pit summary if you just join us we've had green flag pit stop two laps 47 and 51 Eliot great pit work in first out first Earnhardt lost seven spot burn our junior editor Hart senior lost ten spots Kenseth gained quite a bit and Ricky Rudd basically a loss he lost one spot coming up on the outside but he's trying to get down to the inside fondant he's a to mortgage son living in living in the bottom language what we saw Rusty Wallace come down pit road basically by himself although the 50 was there they had to come down on that lap which was 49 - cuz they are sure 100% sure they could get to lap 50 they didn't want to run out they had keep an eye on Ward Burton he's running he was running in the fourth spot last time that came by the pit road area but his water temperature is reading at 280 degrees so his crew chief Tommy Baldwin said every now and then kind of get out of the draft a little bit to get some air to the radiator to cool things off and Tommy also said and bud don't worry about it because everybody's running a little bit hot here and also Michael Waltrip when he left hit road a little bit of problem getting up to speed as we could see it we documented talked to his crew chief Bobby Kennedy he said I don't know if there's a problem Michael didn't tell me there was a problem but he did come up well John Johnny Benson came in had a real good pit stop from Jane Vincent screw this car he's driving today the first time out in the year 2000 when Johnny went to get off a pit road he said I just lost second gear that doesn't matter when racing right now but next time he comes down for a pit stop could be a big problem for Vincent who now does not have second gear I'm surprised at Michael Waltrip nice car is up to speed it looks like that that he had walked to serve something that happened now back up see the dirt artist tried everything he knows he gets backed up to the Sun he's lunches waves right beside Joe Nemechek he was tested and Bill Elliott is showing the way awesome bill from Dawsonville Georgia mr. the Cargill Elliott day twice for 42 laps it's 38 they rebuilt this car and fell off this would be one of the cars to beat today the DV shown here maybe that 13 lead changes among nine different riders as earn art in the three in the third rib Nemechek get side-by-side line to pull away from by just a little bit but that's not a pig ernhardt Nemechek settles his dispute I think that's what that truck for they're hoping that they'll continue to race side aside back there they lose half a straightaway working his way back being shuffled early on working the pits peloton screwing now he's trying to battle his wife back side by side we started back quite a ways different colors of it Crimson Tide colors were in Alabama so they got rolled football fans esau alabama roll on ESPN in our coverage on saturday night primetime relay and a huge win over Ole Miss and now what I'd like to do and from this partisan Alabama crowd could muster enough speed to pull up there they mark us behind trying to get to the front and I talked about the middle one was concerned about the sugar way he's driving away in first and third and a project in second and no not the first the next pretty well cannot die I am so excited for day Marcus Marcus fans who have got to be enjoying his run here today Marcus hanging on back in seventh position you look down from high above Talladega at that 4,000 foot back straightaway let's check him down in the Jeff Burton pencil bill up well as you guys in the booth pointed out the 99 car was penalized for one man going over the wall too soon watch this video there are two citko cars on the track what is Elliott Sadler one is Jeff Burton what happens here as they come down pit road you see even our camera wrong go car the jack man look at the 21 the wall only put one burner over but then that's what resulted in the penalty the two cars looking very similar coming down pit road wow I have thought about that but and you know what they're both blue and white in this particular race Elliott Sadler has a different paint job and they look almost identical and they're pinning three Pizza apart so that was an honest mistake wasn't meant to gain an advantage at all for Jeff waiting until 4:30 the racetrack he is now 24 seconds behind the leader losing ground every lap which is in a three paragraph fastest this front row toward Pontiac and Ford the fruit Chevrolet is now five Colin big cattle come of colors for well he's a two-time winner awesome bill made up two laps to win the Winston 500 he leads it after 64 laps we'll be right back welcome back to our live coverage of NASCAR Winston Cup competition in Talladega Superspeedway biggest joined list Joe Nemechek control Joe became the 13th different pole sitter in the year 2000 and the latest entry in the 2001 but shootout qualified but pole award goes to Joe Nemechek for this 32nd running of the Winston 500 but on the very first lap as Joey let him down he told us before the race I'm going to be a sitting duck and boy was he card after watch take a look at that went mild both sides when that in turn one on our junior started third though to the inside they got Nemechek in the middle and he has been just dusted on both sides but now he's I think he went back to pars 15th or 20th but now he's back up to the sixth position racing alongside Dale Earnhardt and they've been running side-by-side group seems like forever cars even wind up not able to drive away from that Creek came in September a year ago before in second career victory but first ever at Talladega as he's holding out on the inside groove there right in front of Ricky Rudd those cars are third are partly fifth six seven today inside was out there for a long time but still keeping pace with up to four cars that are running Senegal now we have 37 cars in this LEED red pens all copter can show spreading out three wide and intermittently four wide here at Talladega Superspeedway maybe Jeremy Mayfield is off the pace something has happened to the mobile 1/4 and I believe it's Jeremy and Roma's in practicing the gun a couple laps of practice flower to bug hold off on the engine problem and now he just wage people by Jeremy Mayfield at six consecutive DN apps until that second place finished last Sunday at Lowe's Motor Speedway so six in the last seven events they've had horrendous luck and looks like it may be biting him again as Jeremy gets slower and slower on the racetrack well he pushed a car up in neutral and turn the engine off which is very very bad sign of slack almost obvious that he has an engine problem with the car John Kernan Jeremy Mayfield is headed to the garage area he radioed his crew chief Peter suspends oh and said there's something wrong could be the engine could be the rear end they asked him to check the ignition box he said to switch to the secondary ignition he's have already done that that's not the problem so he is headed back to the garage area they're gonna put the bug jack stands and see exactly what the problem is tough break for Jeremy Mayfield they had come from 40th starting spot all the way to the top 10 and now heads to the garage area how close is the field we told you they were only up took a few seconds apart we're gonna hold his shot what's the leader come by and go from first to a thirty six position against that fast that's how he pokey you take a couple of hiccups and a deep breath and 36 is already going by that was 3.1 seconds many the drivers predicted this week with the rule changed and who started this race at Talladega it looks like they're holding true well that's true I a lot of guys have been up here and a lot of guys that led the race and it looks like that the old master on our it will not give up he just refuses to go backwards he goes down and meanwhile here comes a zip across Interstate Batteries Pontiac riding back in the back of the pack in 29th position hasn't led a lap today but remember he had his most comfortable port margin of the season 252 points coming in with just five events remaining for today Jerry I think he's riding neighbors are just staying in position now the front three cars Ford Pontiac and Ford Elliott their colors and the crew members watching wait after 72 m awesome bill meanwhile nothing has changed since we left you Bill Elliott still leads John Andretti's and second Dale Jarrett is third Ward Burton is still fourth and they'll learn art is now easy Dave Marcus has taken over that fifth spot and Sterling Marlin appears to be off the face bill wonder what's going on Benny first they thought it was an alternator problem now it's starting to miss when he went by the crew listened says like it's down a complete cylinder so Sterling Marlin on the track put off the pace we did adjourn in the garage area with Jeremy Mayfield whose crews will go on the car Jeremy what happened done a good job you know we started back work away try to make lamps to get to the end and made it seem like we have a lot of bad luck you know but you know I did a good job just so I can sport I heard you tell you through on the radio that it was getting pretty hot in the in the car how hot was yeah my favorite burning pretty bad it was like exhaust him sway or something so i Jeremy Mayfield's crew working on his car back upstairs Wow six set our seventh DNF in the last eight races tough break the jury may feel about more than one team Mike Skinner trying to follow Kenny Schrader well let me see the name Gingka jumped out on the outside and I guess they're about four wide about now yet sure enough alena sled 34 laps there is Dave Marcus and Dale Earnhardt a couple of richard children's engine dead and tried it in a runoff with a bottom line yet behind they marks in that dolphin Oh most city almost did as a matter of fact date markers when he came off turn to his card a little bit loose he had to chase it up the hill and just that chasing wow those cars have drive under him and pass him off turn two after 78 laps in Talladega and some of these for folks to grandstands have yet all that three abreast racing back there is a lab that well that front bikes decided they want to race a little bit right now they're tired of riding in the line hands-on takes on a great ride here today very qualified that doesn't run in the truck race at Texas for the 99 car the Citgo super guard machine they were held 15 seconds on pit road for a proven were coming over the law too soon as Bill Weber showed us with both the Citgo park and that produced the penalty and thus the outside with no one he sees a four car go by it falls in behind you and Elliott side of his back there's rust coming down the bath rich seem to be by himself but evident he was giving the grab from the 20 car Tony Stewart his clothes got musta past 10 cards my god we only picked up our spot and the 40 cartel has been black flagged because they feel like he's not running up to the minimum speed damn NASCAR has a rule that get to be within a certain percentage of the pole speed and that curtilage Sterling Marlin is not close to that so they will bring him back to the garage area what we saw junior push his father around let's see if Dad can return the favor and push Junior around those drivers will swear to you they've never moved okay right between those white lines but we know better don't we miss yeah we should see it now Bernard Singh who's going to look up on the outside of his side here comes teeny wallets up on the outside 3:40 car and there's the 40 car Sterling Marlin on pit road the Coors Chevrolet with a hood up NASCAR have brought back to pit row with the Black Flag we're stance car has spotted on this racetrack to look at the racetrack they would not take any chances that they saw anything at all lap number 82 10 straighter time to make than if they're trying it for a long time sweater trying to get him by those cars getting Schrader's very 1998 July 30 2008 but not injured cause it's 91 exactly he would like to change that very much here today Rachel's ago talking serious challenge right now for second position is that Jeff Gordon back in the middle again coming to the front gondol from the front to the back dr. Bobby limits is warning down the drive he said you know I'm glad we've got this power we had all kind of trouble to cut who destroyed us in practice that primary pardon and happy hour the purpose shock absorber but unfortunately has no one women we went out there and hit that wall of air there's Tony Stewart now trying to help that seven or eight position can you imagine that Bobby had the last laugh to space 10th place on the inside of it this partisan Steve Grissom now abominated they turned out a chance to play football's on the order to go Bravo racecar he could hear the fans three by three by three and shredder still hasn't little out Jeff Gordon let the last lap but shredders looking good right now talking about the yellow car in the middle in this car he's going to sit there in the middle and say well he's got me up here they were trying to hang on the racetrack outside we're drafting up from jerry nadeau he's trying to go down 25 their pace has slowed down anywhere from fifty one thirty to fifty one in seconds 51 in the sixty that last lap by Jeff Gordon was 52 seconds flat from the Home Depot Pontiac of Tony Stewart and now today he started to lay toward the back of the pack back in 27th position and is now all the way up in 7th spot there have been 16 lead changes among sip 10 different robbers and Jeff Gordon Dave Marcus and Michael Walter they worked on Sterling Marlin tourist share boys back on the racetrack Jeremy Mayfield Donald Roger with an engine problem as did kevin lepape consumer spencer just made a pit stop he felt it needed to stop and so he did Bobby Kodak Chevrolet the Morgan Lafleur stable rut pit when the engine builder I've had some success here and that second the Rusty Wallace is partners five is matt kenseth and Mike Bliss 10:54 the first pit stop ran back in marched his way right to the front and the last time I was in sixth position wolf camera onboard camera with our Jimmy Dean's lemon tree take a look at what Steve we're talking about here for rusty stars the watch as it goes down the corner at 180 as soon as you go gonna hit this bank he's gonna lose ruslan go down to 186 hello he had to touch the brakes a little bit as it came off the corner all of a sudden the car just the cars in front of him slowed down he and who see the four cars losing the lead did something happen to the four car all of a sudden he's been shuffled a piont than have any drafting partner the outside last about to go by before something happened and he lost momentum and he's lost about five or six pops because as Spencer is being pushed to the button entranced in reverse and going the garage right what's going on well Benny they came in just a couple laps ago to put tires on this car and again we're having overheating problems down here Jimmy said the car was getting very hot they put tires on it when I ran two laps and he said I just groped the shock on the right rear so the mount I think is broken so he's gone behind the wall so that they can work on that we hear a DJ jared is also talking about his car getting hot again it's been over 240 degrees so one more time he dropped back out of that pack and he's lost a lot of positions they're talking about making another change on the front of this car when they pit and we expect that in about five or six laps to see the 88 coming second and third both of them dropped all the way back don't know if Andrade is having a similar problem or not place for as Onarga climate story they're trying to pull out to make a move cause your something up there get off the court and our senators high on the racetrack lost momentum a spirit there had been a report from some of the crows three cars moment ago Bill Elliott was leading about six laps ago and now he has dropped all the way back Darrell Waltrip as Earnhardt is going for the lead Dale Earnhardt Goodrich Chevrolet he's there he hazard here at Talladega came loose so he was trying to tighten now he's trying to work his way toward the front one interesting note about Hamilton at the food the first pit stop so Bobby said hey guys we have to take on four tires this next stop I tell you I would stop and they kind of tighten them back up and Wow why he bad point four lead changes has uploaded the very top of the show they average since 1969 we fellas doing that about when they may come back in remember Rusty Wallace is a very first now showing 98 laps complete pitstops took place under the green flag in 47 laughs say she'd be peeling off for green flag pit stop dollar hopefuls leading Jeff Gordon back in six Martin 12 Steve Park 27th and Jeff in 36 position is now across the start-finish line forty three point eight seconds behind good stop slow begin number 99 Jeff Gordon Dale Jarrett Ricky Rudd Dave Blaney Vallely let's go down the right Robert Yates racing cars come in together Dale Jarrett gives him plenty of room on the wall but Ricky a little bit of a chassis change for sighs no cheese for just on his way chair rolls out behind him followed by the ten great stop they do there's Bobby Hamilton a huge on curtain Bobby Hamilton Jr coming down into his pit as he gets counted in it'll be four-tire change no adjustments in fact also in work Chivers throw it in the time giving us homes and getting back both under the green and here is Ward Burton on pit road John Kearney Ward Burton is in for what we would assume would be a four-tire change remember the tire was running so hot earlier about 280 degrees they still haven't taken any tape off of the front grille but the Ward was able to get out now they're also from Matt Kenseth and Michael Waltrip mr. moment ago we saw the four car Bobby Hamilton have trouble and Hamilton had a a slow pit stop before to have trouble on the left front it's the Edmonton or go north to clean the windchill nascar's allowed an extra man across the wall Robert Larkins lets the car down Deb McClure is in the way see they got the time cost of about 20 positions on the racetrack what in second position things right up there and that team is a four-time winner at Talladega twice with Ernie Irvan and twice with Sterling Marlin as you watch Stacy Compton bring for tourists down pit road and he was being so mentally this on the Rookie of the Year contenders and the Rev Estes your competition Stacy comfort in the pizza now Ted Musgraves showing the way in the BellSouth Chevrolet the car number zero one is our leader after 102 laps are in the books at Talladega we'll be right back back in Talladega Superspeedway we have just seen the caution flag for the first time a day Dave Marcus 59 years of age who qualified night and actually led in the early part rolled his car coasted down out of turn four has been pushed out back to the garage area apparently with an engine problem and he will have to call it a day they take the window that down and now Dave will climb out and Jerry this is a huge break for Ted Musgrave in zero one Jeff Burton in 99 and Rick mast and 14 they had not made a pit stop they were almost to lap down before the leaders made their green flag pit stops but this caution has saved them they're going to be on the lead lap yeah they'll be back to fill in the lead lap but they would been left if they would pitted under green let's go to kiss a job Ward Burton who just pitted under the green decides to come in and bid again the crew says more just wanted to for new tires so that's we're gonna do they're also the left right because it was rubbing the left front tire to Bill Weber Jeff Burton unbelievable it's four tires a little bit right in front of it Musgrave had one run out of fuel and requested to be pushed down pit road by Burton he helped him out then he was able to go around him Ward is still on pit road the 43 is also on pit road getting left-side tires so a number of cars taking advantage of this caution to John and Ward Burton's crew you see Tommy Baldwin jr. pulling out on the fender on the left front what they looks like there might have been just a little bit of contact to push it in and there was a tire rub on that left front tire cuz you can see just how shiny it was they said out Baldwin pulls that fender away as Warburton puts that Husqvarna catapillar Pontiac back in here and we'll exit pit road back in just a moment back at Talladega what a great word what a great crowd Sheri press record so sherry you get the message press record he goes to keep this this is a great one to watch when he gets home on the way he wants to get here alive and take a look at this ground some 170,000 NASCAR fans have stood for much of this one and wave things out on look at that sea of people here at Talladega Superspeedway John Kernan what update on war Gert and I said he had some contact with that Left Front he actually went pulling into his pit during a beet green flag pit stuff he actually made contact with his rear tire carrier Mike Brown and just kind of pushed in that left front fender but Mike is all right no harm no foul just a little incidental contact as the Pontiac safety car makes a hard left-hand turn Jeff Gordon wanted here in the sprint on 36th starting spot broke sit against join us he had to go to the back of the pack at start authority of today he's our leader we get set for the restart Joe Nemechek went back in a hurry Jeff Gordon has been a part of six different lowball five bonus days he's worn three others was batting 500 a chance Yeah right behind him Dale Earnhardt it also had six chances here nor does and Jeff Gordon teamate helping him look like maybe do a better job in general going after the cuiprit tires on the car since he watched this action shelf was chicken in the new James Burton pitch with Frankie Stoddard their bill that were standing by while I'm here with Frank Stoddard he got his great he dodged a bullet in you Wow it certainly did I hope we could dodge small ball sack moon probably right and meeting the guy with his foot was over the wall but he go we jumped in wrong tire the other Citgo cow is going down thing he didn't he didn't wall burn it didn't make the pit stop any faster he stayed there until actually I was in the fan if you watch the film which made it even worse for us you know working relationship there but this okay we'll see if the 99 car can work his way all the way back to the front now I've started the crew chief for Jeff Burton joined us the caution came out on lap 103 in Burton Ted Musgrave and Rick mast others come back in and that kept them from possible losing and then we've got what 35 four seconds of each other or actually 2.8 seconds of each other and some of the spotters have told us it didn't still that we got four pallet underneath the yellow on with some drafting help from bobby labonte our points leader so Abani all set up in the fifth position try to pass on the outside it's going to be a good move turned out to be a bad they're making three wide is awesome Bill Elliott trying to work his way back Elliott is back Cheerios Pontiac the King Richard Petty Oh this car is just not right I know exactly what happened what happened but Paulson anyway they are trying to advance to take to leave an art scene here and Rusty Wallace trying to hang on as you're taking a look riding along right there with our Circuit City on board reports later Bobby Labonte Bobby we said earlier that he was riding with the smart to do four along but that were past the halfway point time to go and then I would guess you're absolutely right the guys he says I'm kind of sorry he said I'm just not having a very good game of chess right now he said I'm having problems picking out he's gotten his concentration going I get he's I guess he's got his game on you might say and he had pickin the right line that looks like to me because he looks like he's headed toward the front we mentioned the line of his engine builders have gone back to the shop last night among those marked cronquist who built engines from Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart both the Joe Gibbs cars they flew back worked much of the night trying to see what the car trailer that we only saw today with a smaller plate to the kettle yesterday prior to happy hour and obviously that work is paying off for an 18 car still got a great battle going on to leave but this time it's Dale Earnhardt jr. trying to pass his dad Darth Revan that car - little he's in the middle of my three cars without a great job and tossing us out to the trailer no big deal here but that that could have been a bigger bill poor drop-back is because he was running with the 22 they were gonna rubbing the tire Elliott got out of the gas that's why I went to the back but he made the right decision now as you ride along with our Husqvarna onboard camera tough break for Ward Burton has been at the front of a pack most of the day let's get Tommy bar one in the cruise that comes to a halt let's go down to John Curtin and they're going to change the left-side tires in quarters first but you can see a lot aerodynamic damage to that one belt come off and just wrapped itself up and hit the to work on that also some of what was left of the tire of the tread is wrapped around the brake rotors so now learn the trimmin trying to pull that away to get it off Tommy Baldwin on the radio said we got some time do you jobs do your jobs and now topping will actually get in and try to pull it out as it is stuck as the NIA pace car is in the middle of three the wheel to try and make it a little bit easier access to get the rest of the it looks like gold all right now now they finally do get it out we'll have to come back in change right-side tires and also try and smooth out that aerodynamic damage that was done to the hood at the fender and here come the leaders down pit road with this caution comes out lap 114 left 115 they peel off under the talk I'll be four tires are 10 all the way around here majestic castle and it's back getting into this dear John Kernan saves Bradley here promote the Yates car thing what God they want to have they changed the tires and there is no Hillary Clinton if he makes an effort to do that that's officer part of it he gets his truck tires okay what happens when you cut a tire and watch this left front tire the tire almost immediately stops turning that trick comes off and wrapped itself around the chassis and almost immediately as soon as we see the left front tire it is not rolling it's sliding across the racetrack we still I can't show you what I'm talking about just a moment you'll be able to read good here on that tire see it's not turning top break the poor look for Ward Burton on lap 114 brings out the second call back in Talladega Superspeedway here in Talladega Alabama working caution number two on the day a tough break for Ward Burton the left front tire being cut down and just a moment ago during the pit stops a very very close call Ted Musgrave is sitting here fuel only in his car the red car of Scott Pruett he dodges Earnhardt as he comes in he starts to his pit and all of a sudden that's turn left and runs end to the zero one car of Musgrave as he leaves and did some damage to the left front of Pruett scar he spent a lot of time on pit road trying to repair that damage and make sure that his fender wasn't revving the time-lock warbirds all right looking back at the viagra Pontiac for Mike Bliss a first racy at lit at his NASCAR Winston Cup career back with more in just a moment back at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega Alabama I'm Jerry punch along with Ned's here at Benny Parsons Bill Weber ray Dunlap and John Curtin bringing you live coverage of the Winston 500 about that 47th driver

could not get by the two as a backpack when he's back off the quad despot and I don't think most according to my records is not as not well today but that could change here at about a half a lap and it's going forward to South Carolina my boy this car rusty traffic third at Daytona in July and hitting a shove a big Budweiser our Junior out of the garage area at the end of the race to leave this for the day laughs are in the book Matt Kenseth out driving on the inside bordered the Parliament protege but when he got to the third born said I better not do that and the 32 car stop permanent contact their throw it at his tied for the left front tire jammed underneath the left side of that car heavy she bent then he hits back worked in road my summer to what Jeff Gordon had yesterday when he cut a tire down in practice and it brought there's a lot of damage Warburton was collective quality should adopt a floor damaged space left front fender than he did have when he came in started you know I was so lucky net because a track how about our rookies in NASCAR Winston Cup competition or bestest Rookie of the Year leader Matt Kenseth the driver who won here in the spring started 36 that

position talked about how the raw scars Gaza laid literally all in way out to $6.99 they're happy the body one says five bonus points for leading a lap and the seventh car right there gave himself up

working Skinner's about the only that time but when we restarted this rage he was running back a little bit but I or no tires and I that last time maybe when I think Skinner is one of those that could be in trouble if we stayed green here with one about I'd say during labor my customers making figures that accent let me get this because cheerleaders as the fans are cheering Earnhardt using some hand signals there that was Jerry Naidu's radio our spotter talking to Jerry Michael Holick and Chevrolet's he washed him right along now on the bunt was on board for Dale Earnhardt jr. battle for the

like you might me hold me breath a little bit in in any of your Super Bowl Redskins to the championship did you ever have to hold your breath that's exactly what I'm doing right now it's just getting shuffled the Sam run three abreast like that you know it scares me I think i'ma find a quiet place to pray here for a while how does it compare championship race team putting together championship football team or is there a good comparison I said to everybody you know it's it's almost exactly the same number of people it's just as hard if not harder we've never won a championship over here so that's what we're fighting for that's why all this makes us so nervous but it's exactly the same because you win with people you know win with ours or how they have built a championship team and we'll let him get back to watching monitors so he can continue to hold 1996 inductee professional football hall of fame talking about Joe gives three Super Bowl well Mike Skinner is pedaling toward the front or trying to write down lap the car feels great Baptists driven all day long well how long that'll last who knows but boy is he worked his way back up he talked about heaven he went from 27 all the way up now where he might ever shot it taking the lead we haven't talked much about the guy won in a second when he crosses the water job the actor terrific job the parted in 17th position Tony Stewart apparently a problem for the home Tony Stewart radioed his crew and said hey she's more than that something septons going on here so there's Brittany man they're changing out their tires should be able to go to the end of the race now but fires it was on his way so we'll see if he can catch up with the pack he may be in big danger of losing a laptop he's out there running by himself but he should be able to go the rest of the way here comes a pack off the corner and he about the time he gets up to speed the pack they come in to catch him there he's going down to turn one and here comes the big pack of cards he's running about torch Terry Labonte last lap on pit road the car number 17 fans from the Tony Stewart pizza John Kernan Jerry the problem was loose because you can see on the wheel the hole I doubt as they ask the tire vibrating systems that they caught it got him in before he had a problem got the tire chains tied on this way those who talked about a record race today it has been 15 years since we've had 19 abort right here at Talladega back in 1986 there have been 19 different drivers in this race today ways to go 52 lakhs this underskirt going a lap down

in the average 35 trying to go by 3v3 word for in July of 1986 we had a first-time winner Bobby Hillin on board with Dale Earnhardt jr. that Budweiser Chevrolet as he looks back at a couple other shippers on your right Mike Skinner on your left Jeff Gordon Oh per hour maybe cover down from since this 99th career start dropping Michael Holick accompli so these cars look at these speeds and running three wide in the past we've seen a run three wide but you know the middle part was usually pretty swerving sometimes even those on the inside with these partly as well but this car seemed pretty Stoke just drive by the middle of the pimple to help these guys earn our junior August is negative karma doesn't look that way will work better for that person Dale Earnhardt jr. come up to that meadows begin to get shuffled back he jumps back in that water is back toward the front that Elliott Sadler pitstop not long after the rains in route thank you aside from a textbook I'm sensitive Mark Martin he's old news mark mark who let so many laps here back in the spring back in April back he led the most laps and finished back in 15th position you know we cover happy hour most of these masters does good said what Nick no he's wrecking this afternoon my way tomorrow Jimmy's always a man of keywords when he gets his point she does 43 laps to go here at Talladega I'm Jerry punch along with many crosses Ned Jarrett and a great crew on pit road Bill Weber John Koerner - the way when it'll happen well if we stay green we're looking at about 20 final stock that day what you would have thought when that tire shredded on the left front of Warburg's garnet stopped rolling but it doesn't seem to hurt it a bit because here is in the second spot not even to be back companion again after that and since exactly you're sitting on the sofa at home he's looked at your wife and said where did he come from she's exactly what we said a moment ago laughs so winding down Mark Martin is our leader here at Gallaudet as they were maggot Talladega patients begin to wear thin as a lath NASCAR action Talladega style they can holding your breath there goes Dale Earnhardt jr. the hot side fun he'll Jeff Gordon go by Mark Martin I should say and I'm telling you what there nothing's been Batmobile 40 seconds leave change here at Talladega probably changes last week at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in that race which I think we finished we're talking about the 22 cars Warburton of problems he had it now he is back up there I'm on the leader with John Kernan and I'm with warrants Crew Chief Tommy Baldwin and Tommy considering all the aerodynamic work he had to do to that car you surprised that this morning as well as it Hill cars real strong Terry Alexander Mota guys did an excellent job we'll get caught in the right track with this caterpillar power get back up you might want to take that peat up part to the Windtunnel check we doubted it costs pretty much beat up balance about six inches in the air that's all fiendish hang on I will let you get back to watching the race top watching the car number eight look at look at the lip side of your screen here that's Jerry Nadeau he's been running way up on the very top of the racetrack and the ten car Johnny Vincent remember Benson for the season five hundred they've got in front of his dad no the outside is made it on the inside there's a 10 car of Benson I told you the top of the show if you have seatbelt on your sofa you better buckle you'll see the home what these got the feeling line 31 cars two seconds apart to go at 190 plus Boston our folks this is NASCAR racing at its finest and his man mention the fans were raving last week by that Speedway 46 lead changes among 13 different drivers today we have had 43 lead changes among 20 drivers and we still have 37 laps to go broadcast about the middle maybe was not the place to be but now it's working very well some something happens and it does work the outside line we talked about how it didn't work and also on the outside at the seat Dale were not going trying to take over that second spot hands are on their feet screaming and waving hats they're watching what you're watching as they come flashing by we'll watch them off courtesy of the folks at pins all in our Pennzoil copter cam here they come a gaggle of cars 31 of them he's on the inside with not now that time by he has gone back to the 10th position and injected losing more spots how about Jeff Burton penalized 15 seconds for crew member over the wall back to holding now he's right back among this but a leave huge break when he got a caution play hearing 10 to 15 left final pit stops will be coming we'll let you catch your breath we'll catch our breath and we will come back pit stop critical pit road area as the crew members watching way to know their work could impact the winner back in the Volvo take a deep breath and watch what's about to unfold here in these final laps forty-four lead changes among twenty drivers we still have one pit stop to go that's coming up in about seven or eight laps and there is the points leader up close and personal that big Interstate Batteries hood for Bobby Labonte right behind Dale Earnhardt jr. well first car on the pit road will be the card number 10 the Aaron's rents Pontiac for Johnny Benson James its and company will they do it gas and go let's watch at least right-side tires scarlet Sunday Jane and then get lucky and all the rest of the cars have to make their pit stop before we say a caution flag comes out because we use hard as you can but obviously with that play here come the leaders in 190 in business probably less than 100 miles an hour coming off of pit road flag at Talladega Superspeedway now there's the carnival anything go talking about bill elegant back there he is the last car on the lead lap and he's back there with the 80 for Dale Jarrett and I think that they said hey let's just sit back in ride kiss that big what happens you know will be in position maybe to to hit slow down the DJI thanks decided to punches songs in the cd-player East just dropping all totally different to this about the 10 car pitstop coming in early right came on the radio said he had a bad vibration thought he was getting a right going down they're checking him right now and it appears that all the tires do have air in them but hey if it doesn't feel good out there probably the best move for the driver to bring it in so it doesn't go into thanks Dale Earnhardt jr. showing the way here at Talladega as we get closer and closer the pit stops Bernard junior two-time walnut texas faculty one in Richmond back on May the 6th there's a second pack his last victory coming at martinsville back in the spring of 98 single file has his teammate Tony Stewart behind me know that Tony's a lap down a little pit stop so we'll take a quick break and come back and cover those final pit stops of the day three drag pit stops coming up Earnhardt jr. Bobby Labonte they do Earnhardt that's a top four during that break the 99 car of Jeff Burton made I guess a nice steady first off came and he snapped back on the racetrack you still have to stop anybody to run with once he got back out on the racetrack and the leaders coming up throwing now to put him a lap down and so he's perhaps a second because they'll have cars to run away Jeff Burton take a look at them his bumper cam on the parts plus C it comes Earnhardt jr. coming right at him go ever well Jeff Burton is the leaders roar by him had to come in he felt it had a vibration they changed right side tires looked at the left the left looked okay they took the rights off the rights appeared to be fine so Burton had a vibration gets on the track to try and hang with Tony Stewart because Stewart does not have to stop Kenny Schrader's he'll be having to make a pit stop anyway but he's obviously slowing down from that lead packing this this probably is going to be an unscheduled stop he's slowing down considerably and did the guard outfit bro well he's done in 1 & 2 right now well done it sound to me like it might be on seven cylinders but it's winter has Department have chosen not to make the test off evidently and we're being told it definitely is an agent problem so good ear as many I'm hearing that part when he came by 23 laps to go anytime down these cars in glass pitiful so fifty laps ago they made their pit stop today didn't I feel jealous in the way how many too tired Kangas and they'll learn are the three cars been up for all day long but right now position so if he does have a hamon problem there we see earner probably have to change too and put that splash of fuel with the taking a lot longer than Sundays enter college and remember not only change two tires on that pit stop on lap 115 he chose to change too guitar can't we leave it in the two car across two rocks that may explain one a 94 cars going for the back very Datsun that whole jet Birmingham liver racing poor so the guys seen votes rescinded may be blessed only to fuel the last time did not change tires at all we haven't elevated tires it has never been a problem Pamela's concern a big problem he saw some arms waving in the windows they're indicative that maybe some guys may be slowing down we'll see if anybody peels off down the pit road this time they still come home ninety-four card bill elliott makes his body damage to Bobby Hamptons car and tough break for Jeff Burton who were not going to have to stop the others were going to have to stop soon on under green flag conditions restarts from all come down a pit he wrecked on the pit road never stop put fuel in not bad good break consent bad break said Bobby Hamilton getting out of his car see a lot of damage to that shovel a six-hour mark Barton some damage on the left rear the speculation so far slowly to come on to pit road may have caused us with him back up there and he spins up there you can see what happened just a moment ago come off the corner there's Hamilton on the inside and the car on the inside is going to make a pit stop I guess that's Mark Martin was going to make a pit stop and Jeff Gordon had already decided to make a pit stop he's not involved in four I thought he was involved in the crash that he was coming down pit road though that was a tremendous break for him and after Jeff Gordon in ur pit road the pit road closed he could get that fuel illegally Martin hooks it back in gear once again you can see the closure right we see Mark Martin up on the outside and he goes down between two cars and half of them had just such a run he closed on him so rapidly that when Martin decided to go in the pits there was nothing that Bobby could do it should run in the back of it Mike Bliss and what is that Bickle the 60 car the black car they have rich Bickle in and the 27 car believe got together and a little bit squirrely missed there one more angle we'll take a look from the outside of turn four to see the contact there there's a 27 and the 16 they're talking about as they both try to slide by while they enclose pit road because they're still working to be able to get some of the cars off of pit road to get the Bobby Hamilton comp ended as you watch out again the replay trying to get all a pit road completely clear before they open up pit road enough these guys can scrambling on for that final pit stop now Mark Martin just came out of the pits maybe he had to pit road will be open this time around but he with the damage that he has he felt that he probably need to come in and get the work done right if he did t equalities closed then he would have to talk about whether being lucky that good well Jeff Gordon has been both today he's been good and lucky and good lucky there was able to come down pit road make that pit stop before the pits closed and now with less than 20 laps scheduled pit stop of the day and head down to you John Curtis and it'll be only two tires from Bobby Labonte car loose on entry so that could have - right side we'll put for there the damage on the left rear of the car number six outdoor and they continued to try to straighten out this left rear quarter panel on the Valvoline for Tamar Tamar alright some of the crew there for Jack Roush Racing using the hammer it's got a pizza back seat mile away third caution flag of the day back with more live coverage in just a moment back at Talladega Superspeedway I'm Jerry punch along with Ned Jarrett Benny Parsons Bill Weber ray Dunlap and John Kernan in the pits now a moment ago these teams made what was hopefully their final pit stop when they take a look from boo Whitaker standpoint the rear tire changed road Joe Nemechek stars Wouter turn our coke pit summary shows you how about a big game for Jeff Gordon wouldn't you expect it in 26th out first well we'll tell you how that happened a moment ago he was actually coming on to pit road when the caution came out Rudd fourth the second first a third for Earnhardt Skinner gained nine spots and Bobby Labonte lost three folks watch this coming off the corner Mark Martin Bobby Hamilton make contact and Jeff Gordon was pitting I thought the deeps but he'd gone down pit road to avoid the crash he was making a pit stop the caution comes out because of those guys spinning Jeff Gordon is in the pits makes his pit stop gas only now if those guys have really been sharp they would have changed four times because he would still been leading the race with four fresh tires they had plenty of time to do that the fact they were primed in position to put gas in it that's right they were geared to put gas only and again probably did not have four tires ready to go in the beat it's only active again Jeff Gordon Hospice Jeff Burton and Tony Stewart were set to go the rest of the way that stuff on the brain Jeff Gordon Ricky Rudd $27 with 15 laps to go with Talladega yeah look into the inside you only know tire changes will mixing it up there in the back of the seat we're gonna say who's been riding racing Ritchie didn't need that that it helped leader as across the line he's in the mood did Scott and parsley shutter play some outside inside he has to raise but he has not had a top ten minutes it's danger in competition guys Dale jr. just came on the radio and he said tell Bobby to hit me really hard and maybe have the two of us can bump craft and get away from this group Tom come up and give me a shot in the bumper then what do you think would you want to be leading there in second spot I don't know we've seen some classes made awfully yeah see there we have and we've seen something there mate very difficult yes we have I thinks it would depend I think I'd rather be be great I'd better be leading on that last night I didn't want that to be wrong but they want to be racing for that second spot and that's going to help to me look at this mess man up on the high side he's tearing the body we saw Steve that pens old Chevrolet that mostly changes here in the year 2000 last week's race it 46 lead changes among 13 drivers and Bobby Labonte won that one from second start inspired right now Bobby is running sent or I should say put them ladle at DuPont Chevrolet can mow the grass on the a front of the racetrack damages to nose to tail fifth and six john andretti in the 43 car my steam whistle and that's good to say proving once again that he can Bravo with Steve Grissom that you also feelings well for the team because it has been a struggle and Mark Martin is still out there let's see where is Mark he's running an eighth position behind well there's no quit in Mark Martin not a single bone in his body says quit he will fight it to the checkered flag way you know I think when I said that he had just come out of the pits I think then you might have fallen under the same grandfather's old that Jeff Gordon he was not penalized for I told him it was ten to go and now if you've got a gun that Miller Lite Ford between Nemechek and the 55 bar Lauzon labels of 22 party touching that when put riding on the brake just in case ten left to go and now 27 cars two and a half seconds apart it's still anybody's race at Talladega we thought the turn fourth he's got a little bit of help from Dale Jarrett five through three and four Mike Skinner is back in third position high side Jeff Gordon up there and it's like Gordon is getting shuffled to the rear and that's that's what Dale jr. was talking about it's been fabulous race time eighty-eight miles per hour man you swing shots to bring the fan to their feet seven laps well Bobby Labonte bumping there will he bump fake a bump and make a run of the inside right now Mike Skinner back there in third spot is never 140 Winston Cup starts 1997 repeating here driving the lone Chevrolet front secondary when he lost to Jeff Gordon learned enough for Mike Skinner from about 50 sparticles on the outside rich bickle on the inside this time by the checkered flag in a 30-second more than front there were protected ah side we met contacted somebody there he is on the inside if you go fast money inside scrum be on the grass daddy's down on the getting something way back I'll show you what happened a moment ago with Earnhardt there the left side of your screen watch the three car let's Richmond on his outside to go down in the corner and our three cars touch Rusty Wallace who bit his right side her dark right side and big ones left side touch less than five to go he faked them over to the inside will they have a drafting part people he's got John Andretti up there and other cars that have fallen on that outside lab there now that inside has not been protected the way as we saw a first-time winner role here on

........and the sound those motors made cruising at 6800 RPMs, the wickerbills.......Memories

and only 2 1/2 hours.

see what happens when you just let em race

[u/RaveOn1958]

Just goes to show how absolutely incredible Dale Sr was as a driver. He still had a good bit of top tier racing left in him, I wish he'd been able to get championship #8.

[u/WarriorMan48]

Wonder why they don't use wicker bills now. Big teams probably wouldn't like things being that even.

[u/RandomBoltsFan]

Those cars just sound frightening, and I love it.

Also, anyone know why Jerry Punch was in the booth instead of Bob Jenkins?
