he's not complaining to pull out from a but they expect them to come back to him as the race progresses no problem premier well the Hoosier driver leads it that chef beau diamond a good trader is all over [Music] he's walking our pants writer wants to leave this room there's no past [Music] Thanks so huh maybe that was a decoy he's gonna try them on the inside now going into turn three you kidding [Music] nearly touching turn three I think they did touch Terry just a little bit Schrader thought he had him cleared Chaplin on in there pretty strong they touched a little bit but no hard and here comes mark [Music] go into turn trace right on the inside the right rear bumper off Schrader cuts the left rear bumper your right Ned they didn't touch mode I must have jammed the brakes on that could

never know it's been making cash money out inside is the car number 75 forever last time yeah they both wild up in the garage area torn up remember that they don't that situation to happen here darling that's Todd but I car running right behind and here's Mark Martin passing Jeff bodean made it look easy is there a problem with Jeff beau died without a wonder his part of jumping back little bit let's check in with John Kernan John Jerry the report down here in the fence Jeff is radioed in says that the car is feeling very loose so when they make that caution comes out at lap 25 they're going to add air pressure in the right front tire trying to get by Ward Burton the heartiess car and he goes by gift comes Ripley suits your tires also [Music] Villas Budweiser car [Music] here we go brett bodine and Jeff bodean [Music] on a courage from Jeff Gordon to follow that duo in the corner look at that pass by Jeff Gordon Ned wow what a move he made he saw Brent going there he followed him ride around new brent was going to slide it punchy wet in the turn for knives cars slide you see those contact [Music] Gordon coming together here on lap number eleven at Darlington [Music] caution flag being shown in the field for the first time today let's see what happened here this moment ago Gordon turn three this is really a gutsy move by Jeff Gordon he gets alongside of Brett bowtie and it really takes a line away man yes he does Brett's tries to stay out there but Jeff makes the pass gets out in front his car gets a little loose coming off the turn then gets capped by the 26 car he comes back into the 26 car print butyne hits him and spins him around and Brett was very lucky not to get he hit the wall that's unlucky but he was lucky enough to get hit by another car different angle this time looking at it from a different camera looks like Brant was trying to get back on the inside of Jeff Gordon and made just slight contact and when Gordon comes off the wall he has milk control touches that 26 in the right rear and away he goes what happened there you can see Jeff Gordon is in front of us coming off the term low tide then as he comes off the wall as famous as that comes down hit the red bowtie expands him the wrong way up into the wall Brett mr. wall hard with the front end of the Quaker State Ford makes the 360 and everybody else is able to get by and let's go to John Kernan and Dale Earnhardt spins well the champion who's on pit road he's going to make some adjustments they're going to take tape off the front grill a round of wedge added to the left rear and also they're going to take a rubber out Earnhardt's card not handling the way he would like it to it you can see he's had some contact out there on the racetrack with with somebody as you can see a tire mark on the left side now let's go up to [Music] push in on the left front you can see the crew they're working to pull it off they have chains the left side tires Jeff almost all somebody's back underway [Music] trouble in the early laps here at Darlington we told you this racetrack is going to be tough to handle in a couple of drivers have already learned a lesson Jeff Gordon's damage on the left side but the heavily damaged car Brett Bodine has gone to the garage area our speed boat coverage of the Mountain News southern 500 being brought to you by Mountain Dew hit vertical with the power of Mountain Dew by allied signals auto light spark plugs guaranteed for two years no matter how far you go and by the all new Ford Mustang it is what it was and or under caution here in Darlington South Carolina first incident of the day occurring on lap number 11 up in turn four here again is what happened Brett Bodine passes his brother Jeff going in the third corner in Jeff Gordon as he goes up dives underneath Brett Bodine as they come off the corner it looks like the 224 might have gotten a little loose or Brent was trying to get back under the 24 it's really hard to tell let's watch and see if the 24 does get loose he's very low looks like he might have got just a little bit loose and had to squeeze out of the throttle Brett Bodine makes contact with it Jeff goes up smacks the wall when he comes off the wall he hits the 26 and man you're riding that handle world he was able to spin in front of all these cars and I get it's amazing very fortunate let's take a look and see how Morgan Shepherd saw from within the Citgo for [Music] Terry wasn't able to see a whole lot there but he's it's all enough to be able to drive through let's check in with John Kernan who's caught up with Brett Bodine John cherries you can see a lot of front-end damage to Brett Bodine Quaker State Ford the radiator the oil cooler the team working very hard trying to get it fixed to get Brett back out Brett it's a little hard to see exactly what happened on the tape on the replays what did happen I just touched him a little bit out of shape he ricocheted

up to Jeff Gordon pit with Marty Reed thanks John before time again mannered bar may be out of whack Benny you may be right he must have tagged it on the outside and he's complaining so taking that left front fender and a bat beat it up so that they could get it off at the time and are used to par the control of their houses back in the Lancer warehouse that's so they've been that the Atlanta

Mexican show you what happened the Ken Schrader's they came off the second corner and knew the clock straighter got his car little bit out of shape and Elliott just simply pulled out to the inside and way when they had a great run coming off the turn and cleared him it easily going into the turn as Mark Martin makes the pass on ken schrader coming out of turn four go ahead and mix it up back there I'm just gonna pull away a little bit well it was working at Hydra [Music] there's Earnhardt making a pass now on the inside of ten straighter than yeah of course he just ended [Music] so he'll pass that group of cars and drive or I don't bad with those new [Music] there's two laps down for say the big passes later he would hope for a caution that way he would be able to get one of those give a lap down as the garnet IT never spill of it and Martin Martin by Billy standards she's at the MFF fourth corner watching that and turn one Martin looks to the inside Elias pushed up a little bit and bark is able to drive right Oh bud here comes here again with those fresh tires [Music] a little bit going into one I'm sure he let's see that fast he's running down seventy he doesn't see 70809 yes

crews had come in and there goes mark Martin why are we here [Music] here at Darlington let's check it once again with John Curtin Saxe part you saw him just take on four tires the left fire digs in the turns and it really wears it out you can see where the cord is actually showing out the left front tire Greg sacks car completely worn out that's not good and these drivers can really tell it because it exists down to four groups whatsoever the car just slides across the racetrack as Mark Martin goes by the brown Pig automobile and then through the greenback after that mandatory caution flag they threw the green flag on third lap 32 so Rusty Wallace was only able to get about 20 laps how those tires makes sense they wore the tires out of we saw in 21 this all what's happening with tile wear so pit stops can't be far away under the greenish line so we'll take a quick break and come back [Music] back in Darlington South Carolina Mark Martin sneezing up in front of derrike cope

crew will go to work on that car and Bobby Labonte talked to Bill Davis this morning they're really pleased remember they added some weight to the nose in the rear deck of these body acts and they're really pleased with the way this part is running but they've been making an adjustment with air pressure here the car has been running very very tight left side still going on until they get the drugs lead off Labonte is down in a way and that's what John Kernan was talking about in his own and trying to keep that grill dome in clean of that rubber those bits of rubber goes in there get to the rhetoric leader Mark Martin so lucky for him to make an entry on the pit road as we are for Bill Elliott and they learn artists get flavors about four cars these fellas right now right right you can see there how much here comes Kyle penny with those fresh tires he'll blow by all these cars is two laps down right now and then lost the laughs while he was in the pits now that car sticks to the inside with those new tires we sell that's trickling down on bottom screen he had just been left by Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace in 24th position that's rusty go riding with right now the village he

Marcus mark Martin's crew will make a chassis adjustment his car has been just a little bit tight so they're going to loosen it up taking [Music] let's let the counselor pull in here now as these guys are ready to go what we've noticed drivers on our end of you guys are making up to 30 on the first ball brother [Music] going out of the [Music] and Dick Trickle had a problem there to push his car he was across the line he actually overshot his pit and they were trying to get him to back up they finally got him back up and got him into his [Music] Joe Nemechek discount mufflers are he is forward about six laps ago in late an unscheduled pit stop and now he is back in and apparently that's not just a fire here is Darrell Waltrip the Western Auto Show light Pete Peterson in the fly boosts that go to work on that car will change all four tires that fix his brother Michael Waltrip had taken over the lead L was running at 2nd place let's go to the back stretch and still men were waiting for the Pennzoil five miles an hour [Music] right [Music] and you really can't see your competitor [Music] one thing that raining too close to the wall that was a mistake holes around there they just simply gotten too close too we saw that jacket man was happened to heal the head of my three feet to Jack that handle o as Michael nearly gets the car sideways he's jumping back into the throttle trying to catch up and Rusty Wallace by virtue of those pit stops is back on the lead lap man and we showed as our leader [Music] back at Darlington Raceway rust being shown as our leader here at lap number 76 take a look at our Auto light-filled submarine second position Martinelli Rusty Wallace is leaving the race because he stopped a little earlier than the other cars he was able to be out on the racetrack running faster that we can see earn art Mark Martin and Bill Elliott are catching Russell how's he go petty but he is one lap down in 23rd position remember how fast Kyle was about ten laps ago with those fresh tire now it's the shoes on the other foot other cars that refresh the tire spaces brought on by in second and third position what Mark Martin would like to do is passed Dale Earnhardt before they get to Rusty Wallace there for baby fashion [Music] watching it battle between Martin and Earnhardt there's kids straighter in car number 25 right behind Morgan Chandler he wants to catch Russian waters first so he's trying [Music] there's Rusty Wallace [Music] windshield there's rusty Earnhardt Martin and Elliot [Music] arrests have made his pit stop on that 52 there we put all those stars 4:28 lamps joined by crusty that's what Burton's call writing 23 Chevrolet and apparently let's check in with John Kernan Jerry that car that Dale Earnhardt is driving today is a little over a year old but it is not been to Victory Lane here's why Parton dies down low as they head into turn 1 this was the same car they ran it in the Brickyard 400 remember he tagged the wall took it back to the shop it was pretty beat up and made some repairs to it and they feel like they've got a shot [Music] [Music] [Music] go Rusty Wallace was gonna get down you see this pass happening there watch Rusty's hand inside just telling those guys on the inside I guess has he come see his hand come out he said I guys I can't handle you're going around yep and signals are important to articulate this race at this racetrack get Martin Martin's having some problems getting by Ward Burton Seward's trying to hang on stay in the lead lap if he possibly can beside the timer to let see for traces him into this turn at 23rd position and he will go a lap down ernhardt now goes by Warburton as smart marketers with Ward Burton Bernhardt was able to catch the bard barbar sorrow so Phil Elliott let's check it once again hard pits with John Curtin the crew that the car has developed occurs from the center of the corners who off the turns remember when they made their adjustments at the beginning of the race the car was loose but right now it is pushing there we see Jeff Burton the best his court making a pit stop websites going up he was running in the 14th spot when he stopped [Music] leave 21 cars in the lead lap Dale Jarrett you can see it right there on the screen is right in front of Mark Martin he is it's a battle for second position you're looking at there is Bill Elliott now judge sermons report about Earnhardt's car pushing in the corners well cars car pile on the racetrack Bill Elliott the advantage of the car and the opening and [Music] looks like the tatar where is giving gifts about 20 22 laps of the 28th my slap Bernard a shade over 149 miles per hour [Music] 65 or 66 miles per hour which he qualified wonderer Mark Martin is we're going to show you it folks in the news a year ago and Mark Martin took the lead he led a hundred and seventy eight of three hundred and fifty one race last in last year shortened by darkness and that's where he is once again here at Darlington Raceway the fatherland for leading here at Darlington Mark Martin back with more after this [Music] mini Schrader has taken over the four spot on rusty we can see the straighter [Music] retires Jeff Oh danke laughs out requesting Nass was running in the Sabbath ah here comes Rusty Wallace in the pits it'll be a four-tire change for Rick mast right sides already armed this morning this chassis over Rick said what they tried to do is keep the lead [Music] but they make 42 laps on this cycle a tire a very important given no 1678 [Music] some of the fruit juice water they would 14 sets of tire to finish the race and you were the problem there [Music] tires that look nuts are not will have to have the glue to the wheel when they fill the tire up there there [Music] 20 seconds Robert Yates told me that about $1200 asset he figured out free calculator entire Harrigan is and the caution flag isn't the caution flag way and that's a bad break for Rusty Wallace jetboat on those cars who just pitted and even a worse break for Barry maybe to be able to pull some of that Darlington magic out but he has tacked the concrete retaining wall maybe trying to push those tires a little too far [Music] here again is the caution ways for the third time a day here against what happened to Harrigan it was down in the corner and we see he's right in front of Rusty Wallace he goes in the corner and the car just went straight ahead it's like you're pulling Jimmy Spencer about ran over boy he did he did a great job of getting his McDonald's Ford turned left and uh well everybody will be in pits right now they were welcoming this opportunity to Steve crystal just gonna lap down a couple of laps ago they come down pit road riding along with Mark Martin let's check in now with John Kernan who's waiting for the leaders pit stops well mark mark would have pitted was scheduled opinion just eight more laps here 97 degrees mark will be his fourth four tires checking up his buildup on his front grille it doesn't look too bad and they will make a chassis adjustment on marks cards bit just a little bit on pit road service [Music] Eliot Schrader let's check with Bill Weber in the back Vince bill is already in Ted Musgrave is in we're rating for the 30 Carmichael Walter sterling [Music] [Music] yellow tape box on pit road so Michael Zoomer took that left front tire to be able to have room to get the left side Jack under michael waltrip had been running in 12th position we are under caution for the third time today here at Darlington Raceway who an incident at and turns wanted to involve in the veteran airy game back with more in just a moment Agra Darlington South Carolina the mountain to southern 500 under caution for the third time today and it's enough to carry 22 involving Harry Gant what a battle we had on pit road Martin Martin the babbling car is going to be flush writer was the first car to move but he was too far up pit road as Bernard who is pitting right down to the line moves and goes across the line to take second spot they use that line as it as the mark marking point of how to line them up so Earnhardt was the first one across the line by virtue the Abingdon defending Series champion a cyclocross landmark mark was first but he was able to beat Schrader Elliott and Rusty Wallace did not pit now he has three or four laps on those tires Ned what do you think think he's used him up well he's used something of the newness up and usually they'll slow down about a half a second a lap but he should be able to start in front off the leaders and even though he's almost a lap down guys were here in Darlington and not far away as Timmonsville South Carolina there is no more feisty competitor in Motorsports history than Cale Yarborough he is the fifth all-time winner in NASCAR Winston Cup competition with 83 career victories he has won more southern 500 others in any of the driver five times and last night he went into the Hall of Fame [Music] down by this place when I was ten years old and the soapbox derby and then they built the racetrack here and everything else is history I guess but it's a pleasure to me to be here tonight to be inducted into the Motorsports Association Hall of Fame and I want to thank the people who made there is definitely a Hall of Fame member Ned oh no question about it great competitor he was tough very very tough competitor and there is the newest member of the MPA Hall of Fame up late last night being inducted and all the celebrations and watching his car the Fingerhut Ford running back in 24th position with Jeremy Mayfield now we see Rusty Wallace [Music] first the race [Music] not the pit here but fastest going left [Music] before Kosh came here early on this restart and never see mark mark trying to catch Warburton trying to keep check in with John blue Terry laughs on this last pit stop I mention of Mark Martin screws took about a half around the wedge out to loosen the car up just a little bit Mark came back and told Steve mill on the radio he said guys the car was just about perfect that last run so these guys always thinking ahead Mark Martin knowing [Music] the chassis remember earlier we showed you an incident involving Jeff Gordon and Brett Bodine while that Gordon car number 24 is now being shelled incredibly many in tonight's position on the lead lap Ray Evernham and that crew Geoff board has done a great job keeping the car going many laps down this matter of fact he's up that 70 laps down but Pathan has a lot of pit stops but they're all under caution Oh Maxo Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace we see that Warburton has been able to get by rusty and here goes mark trying to put in the lap down rusty moves over and blocks that he desperately wants to stay in front of Mark Martin they're just hoping that something will happen behind him better caution would come out and he'd get to go all the way for lapsim to pick that chance [Music] I'm not going to wait on you to pass it you can't pass him I'll pass him he's just trying to stay put he's in 17 positions and final call to Leela number 75 Todd bow tied going by ricky rudd six position there's Bobby Labonte in the backfield in that battle as well [Music] sixth seventh and eighth we're seeing right there on the screen there Steve Grissom but mark Martin's still working over the rear deck rusty walls that we saw this happen it is just like this except rusty with the victory lane and mark back when we talked about the rubber hitting the grill see the rubbers - fire runs in as if spotted rubber all that rubber goes and hits the grill the screen on the grill and stick still sometimes where's the water coming from yeah there's a little moisture there now [Music] Wallace's grill be plugged up could be overheat see water in the corner the water before you eat on the screen of that camera 17 cars in the world 75 miles an hour so we can the visitor reported the boy rusty August which wouldn't mark martin was able to catch you [Music] our cop this grouping Earnhardt is falling back about 15 20 car leaks and that we can see [Music] just join us Rusty Wallace tried to remain on the lead lap green white pit stop Palance later [Music] one yesterday in the Gatorade 200 Busch grand national race I guess three announcement he won an

were moving up through the field real good to come from fortieths I think 18th or something like that and really just getting the car dialed in yet and it was really handling good driving good running here moving up through there and all of a sudden after that restart there it started skipping a little bit missing I thought well maybe submission box and switch submissions that didn't fix it here day just started getting real high and we knew that something else was going on water in the card it wouldn't accept it usually when that's happened you something has happened with the piston has got a hole in it or something along that line she's broke into the back pressure won't allow the engine to take the water in Lake speed for the day let's go to John Kerry will fit remember last time he

him to get some distance missed our ticket to get warned a little bit tennis or sell a little bit pressure as Rick sex comes into the pants Morgan Shepherd and Jeff Gordon volcanic Jeff for the car who stopped a little early and was able to get out there runs overlaps are those fresh tires and get some distance 24 kind when Strether trying hard and he's on the inside of rustic he might put him a

we can see where these cars ricky rudd running through the bottom of the one and two Bob in the Bonnie about the middle straighter a leaders running extremely and has been all day [Music] can't say enough about Bobby Labonte and at Maxwell House team Bill Davis racing their lose their sponsorship at the end of this year and what a run they had the past few weeks they're running left they want a new sponsor say so I spoke to Bill Davis so they may be close maybe within a week or so across for next year and certainly that's a very very promising up-and-coming Winston Cup race team and Bobby Labonte has been name has been mentioned the possibility for the teams he told me on Friday said it three five two sponsors head that are asking me to possibly drive their race cars that they seem to sort of be on a level plane he said this team is moving up and he said I want to stay with him please find that spot car is called Labonte Kodak film Chevrolet on the four cars for $100,000 bonus as well as Earnhardt and Jeff board ever think we've mentioned that today contracta Winston select hundred thousand dollar bonus let's check in the pizza party party nice keep your eye on Bobby Labonte in the 22 we've heard some conversation on the radio about some smoke coming out of the ferm yet from the team but you've got a better view of it than we do well he's about to be passed right now marty is both of four and thirty cars named Shirley Marlin and Michael Waltrip trying to take the spot away as he is now in his position and the ninth place will take his father is sitting there watching his farm these two spots let's check in that piss bill we got a report some smoke may be coming out of the exhaust our cars here a problem [Music] instead of thing the gauges seem okay so [Music] problems are just a little bit tight guys to flourish no these tires don't smoke Giri don't let a smoke is when they drop defenders maybes gotta fit it around he might have a fender up he might've raised the wall someplace never offended let's check in with bill weapon well standing back here behind the wall on the backstretch tada great Ron a championship performance by her team here trying to get you back out without why it's one of those things again another oil fitting this time it's a different when it's a moon feed line that an oil pump we just can't catch a break with these all pitches it that's the third time has taken us out of a good run but you know the factory stores Adidas cordless was handling great we had some guys been working under his thighs we had great pit stops they kept us up front everything was going right and we're just trying to ride their top five wait for the end of the race and race them and you know we didn't get the race next week at Richmond will get them up there how quick can you feel the tires go away well you hang on to it it's pretty slick once you get running they last probably five or six laps then your that's the best balance cars what ends up being the fastest then we had a really well-balanced car you know that was the whole idea we knew it was going to rain but why did it get some time by the car and get it man we'll be back next week that's a lot of talent sitting there isn't far away but it's not today half a lap huh Larry McReynolds told me these tires go away so fast that he doesn't want to even roll them from the garage to the pit road is he a loose got three laps do roll them out they're joking but serious problem says that the racing surface is very abrasive they're gonna correct that next week and let's see if we can find our leader any straighter I'd say what everybody's looking for that guy because he is going off into the sunset sixty-five of 165 laps at bears Kenny Schrader's last time he led her for ten laps in a race actually it was September of 1993 there is Kenny Schrader's driving the Kodiaks Chevrolet as we approach the halfway point here at Darlington that's a beautiful shot from that helicopter above Darlington Raceway a little trivia question for you race fans at home now who holds the biggest margin of victory in the southern 500 we're gonna give you a couple minutes to think about it who had the largest margin of victory in a southern 500 I know the answer but I won't squeal I do too and I didn't cheat I knew it but the question came up and we'll let you know in just a moment to think about that and we'll tell you it's more than 10 laps is remarkable in and of itself yes it was twenty-nine right beside me let Steve Grissom in the twenty nine almost lost control I wonder he's got a tire going probably saw shredder going through there so fast thought he could do it and a little shake that's Jeremy Mayfield right behind Grissom those guards just went to laps now 17 [Music] in car camera now we're going to show you the trivia question once again holds the biggest margin of victory in the southern 500 and john kernan - you know I'm gonna make a guess but usually these questions involve one of our announcers so I think I'll say Ned Jarrett Artie what's your guess definite disadvantage guys out there going so ever I have a pretty good kiss but it's because he reminds me about it every week I'll take knit we got two votes for Ned one for kale Benny it was mentioned exactly was our Ned Jarrett 1965 a winner by 14 and then you beat buck Baker by 14 laps in 1965 forward and that in itself was a whale of a feat for us [Music] trouble [Music] [Music] we had the same problems back in 1960 with the rover coming off the tires getting in the grille and into the radiator overheating the cars and everybody had that problem that food with the nurse our car home for the baby looks like Mark Martin might be able to get back get in the handle back just as he'd go fire nard to take over that third spot once again Kenny Schrader's is our leader bill Elliott's in second position will show you the interval there back to Martin a turn art about 8 to 1/2 second Morgan Shepherd is 15 seconds back in fifth position if Martin went by we saw Brad D going to the bits on the back threat away and we are told will see the leaders on pit road in about four or five on the backstretch so pit stops coming up we're out here sports he'll make four-tire change bring the windshield for it clean off the grille and hood thanks Marty yeah I'm really impressed with this team they have not given up since the ferry incident [Music] showed in 11th spot as here as Kenny Wallace in in the car number 28 he is a lap down she watching that true Larry McReynolds and company Kenny of course subbing for the injured Ernie Irvan they cleaned the windshield right side tires already haven't gone on the car number 28 these cars the 24 car of Gordon and the 28 of Wallace actually pitted about three laps before the other lead cars came out on the previous stop so that's a normal sequence Terry Labonte who was running in the 12th position the lead lamp is in in the Kellogg cornflakes Chevrolet [Music] let's head back on the racetrack here comes Bobby the part of the National House Pontiac down pit road oh he's slow he's down to pay that smoke they talked about we see some smoke now coming out look at that grille in the front of his car we got a shot a minute ago of the grille it was totally covered in rubber let's check in their pitch with John Kernan well Jerry that apparently is a problem they burned a piston we've just talked to Bill Davis about what ten laps ago he said they didn't know if any problem all the gauges were the same one just a few laps ago the temperature gauge water temperature gauge started climbing it was up to 225 and nothing then radioed in and said you know we might have a problem after all and it looks like they are done for the day you never seen a board that ejected crew near on pit road regular had a great run going lick that grill palace look at the amount of rubber almost what 30 to 40% which sets off the air going into the engine compartment part of the problem a spa feel about it post a tender this they'll take a look at it if there's anything they can do they're getting back out there and running as much as you possibly can see the smoke coming from the exhaust is Bobby Briggs the engine they're looking in they're thinking either a firm piston possibly a drop valve but they're not even in a big hurry right now as the crew Chris husky and the girl looks over they'll put the hood back down on the car it doesn't look very good for the Maxwell House Pontiac scene Bobby Labonte's best finish come in a couple of weeks ago up in Michigan saucy minute ago welcome there buddy pardon me and he apparently is worried about their steam mill standing on the right of your screen the his driver mark Barton is pitting right next to that car he's trying to say hey guys I'll let you know my driver going to be covered and I'll he would help you a little bit yeah Mark Martin when he does come into the pants for you being jeopardized service and goes back I don't think he's going to be a major factor there that thing's hot going to be running up the cars but that does come into the pits as three laps now back in position here is Mark Martin the babbling Ford Thunderbird defending winner in Smith back in third spot expecting an on pit road voluntarily compete as he comes down pit road at Rusty Wallace who is being shown a lap down in fifth position here's Earnhardt who was the fourth place car when she's over at Chevrolet down at 55 miles per hour for his scheduled stop let's go to John turtle car has been tight when he is in now for a four-tire change they should make a chassis adjustment trying to loosen that car up system it'll fit Rusty Wallace she's out of the way headed down pit road let's see if Earnhardt sighs convinced alert before rusty beats him on pit road it doesn't look like it Rusty Wallace gonna beat out Mark Martin is right now pulls in it will have to be a half around the wedge the car is loosened up so it'll be four tire change with Mark Martin Steve Miller the crew working on the right side here comes the leaders kitty Schrader down on pit road right side work already completed on Mark Martin left sides now he's pulled off ready to go out and straight will pull the paint they make the adjustment on mark partners spot let's do this Raiders bitten Marty Reid well could this be the day for the Kodiak team and Ken Schrader never finished here his third this will be a four-tire change a little bit of smoke coming out of that further radiator but no reports that he's are running hot they are that front grille work and then let's tease out he's on this way let's go to John well a skin straight Elise bill Elliott's crews hard at work they've already taken off so I've already completed the right side change left side the galley there's a crash out on the racetrack Sterling Marlin has spun his car in turn to the car number for the Kodiak Chevrolet and as we do not see a caution flag he spun the car got the car rotted down off the racetrack and we have got yes we know here's Jimmy Spitzer has right away so caution is out now those two cars haven't spawned they were just trying to give the halfway signal lamp 184 there is Spencer's car the McDonald's Ford Thunderbird come to rest against the frontstretch wall as these cars now trying to see Spencer close call there Darrell Waltrip and Greg Saxon return to comes off the corner he's trying to get in the I'm sorry looks like he got bumped from behind he might have been slowing down to go in the fence I don't know but if he got bucked and spun around but he kept going no problem there everything was alright but then all of a sudden here on the front straightaway Jimmy Spitzer gets into the wall let's see if we can see what happens there there he is coming off of the turn up there now whether he and that's Jeff Gordon down on the inside whether they made contact don't know but Jimmy Spencer in the McDonald Ford slides across the start/finish line crossways when Spencer crawls out of 27 waves to the crowd and bill what happened to the carnival for Sterling Marlin Gary Michael and sterling were getting ready to put together on the back stretch they've been running several laps offered about coming in together Tony Glover kept waiting for his car to come in he never came in and then they were as surprised as anyone else when the caution came out meanwhile Michael Waltrip did come down pit road and Michael Waltrip ran over his airgun he didn't stop he ran over the Godzilla stop his crew couldn't do anything Michael went on back out meanwhile Sterling Marlin has just moved into Billy's here with Tony Glover I'm gonna see if I can get a word Tony what happened out there I got no idea it's like a slow car turn just trying to get into the pants and you know luckily we we didn't lose a lap and you know everybody else pitted so it made us the leader so it worked out okay while a unique brand of strategy Tony Glover the crew chief on the kodak chevrolet not exactly but some days you never know there it darling how many times can you make a full 360 spin out and be it takes a lead doing that he should have spun earlier let's take a look again and see exactly what happened if we can't over it turn to Lucy michael waltrip going in the pits that's the yellow car on the very left of the screen he's going to the pits now there's Bobby Labonte in the 22 car the smoking and their tape machine is stuck so in a minute we'll show you what a Sterling Marlin is our leader in the Kodak film Chevrolet so you can spin and hey Danny Sullivan did it a few years ago in Indianapolis he spotted one and now Sterling Marlin being short of our leader here at Darlington see all the transport are sitting down there in the garage area they parked so tightly and so closely together it takes a tremendous amount of talent to be able to get those trucks backed in week after week loaded and unloaded just inches apart well a very important competition takes place in NASCAR each year it's the Mayflower truck drivers challenge and the fourth and final round took place here today early in the week enter the cover of darkness the Whiston cup [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] 111 22 what a run great run and rotten it Victor started driving the truck forfeited cars back in 1978 and many 52 year old Rodney pitler when 0 Mayflower truck driver challenged in the $15,000 prize you know these guys really are the unsung heroes of the NASCAR crews they log about 50,000 miles a year in those trucks and along with the fact that they have a full-time job when they get to the racetrack some of our gas midsummer utility guys new tires they stay very very busy very busy during the week they keep those trucks loaded up with everything they need during the weekend with the treasure I got Michael Waltrip is overheating and Billy's right in front of you this is his fourth pit stop during this caution came back Michael's reporting his temperatures 250 degrees the trying to get water into there they cleaned off the grill it was tense when all this started having a great run now the hood goes down again they'll put in those hood pins but it has been a disappointing number of laps here for Michael Waltrip and now the car the car is stole and the hood will go back up so to try and get an update here they're going to try and push him and see if they can't get him started here michael waltrip was having a great day but right now the Pennzoil Pontiac slowly being pushed off the road hoping to get it restarted back there also overheating and he is gone behind the wall that we are told they're gonna change the radiator in the Maxwell House Pontiac of Bobby Labonte he saw that smoke earlier from his car and here's what happened just a little bit ago Lippert produced the caution flag now this didn't produce a caution flag Sterling Marlin starts in the pits he gets bumped by the 22 car as Ned said he does a 360 keeps going no caution flag as a matter of fact he even took the lead in the ensuing exactly watch left of your screen Jimmy Spencer a little bit of a bump from Steve Grissom in the 29 car and he smacks that front stretch wall science mister stays up against the wall no no reason we know that assisted and that's why we know he bumped it back in dollars in a possible problem with our fifth place car he's on pit road Marty what's wrong well they weren't planning on making a stop but as Daryl drove by his fellows I think I've got a tire going down they were running in fifth place how many times have we seen this where DW at this track is just sort of laid back slowly worked his way when fair when the race was over they did not decide to take that risk they said let's give up a track position now make sure we don't give it up now or later well better safe than sorry at this place in particular they are still cleaning up the race track for the incident on the first stretch involving Steve Grissom and Jimmy Spencer under caution o'clock still under caution at Darlington Raceway back with more Winston Cup racing action in the 45th Mountain News southern 500 right after this [Music] [Applause] darrell waltrip it we said a moment ago he came in because he thought he had a flat tire when he came back in the pits and they raised a hood on the car and escorted a lot of water under the hood of the car being it might have been just a precautionary manner but his brother Michael Waltrip has been having all kind of problems with depends all Pontiac and Bill Weber has a report new it is back here W it is back here and this team has been running quite well but obviously problems during this exchange does what happened yeah we have been running a little warm and we just didn't want to let it go any longer so we made sure we cooled it down we have a cars have a history here getting the radiators loaded up with rubber and we're running about 240 250 and we needed to stop and we've got it cooled down right now but we're not sure if we're going to keep it that way all right this team was very happy with the way the car had been running up until that most recent exchange let's go to more degrees thanks Bill we're looking at Robert G this man is a big fan of Kenny Schrader's in fact he was the owner of Kenny's a push car a while back and was hanging the sheet metal on this car until he suffered a stroke and has put him in a wheelchair but he was on the radio - Kenny during this yellow and the conversation went something like this he said Kenny you keep driving like this you just might win this now he just might I'll tell you what tell you what Robert came in the garage area this morning he had a tremendous crowd of people wishing him well be very very glad to see him back at the racetrack here's a car they're gonna hold to try to get back in position for scoring that's the smoking Jose Ford Thunderbird has strictly and yes as you say being held the signal is being given for one more laughing what happened Jerry we saw when Jimmy Spencer stopped right past the start/finish line a lot of cars were racing off the turn floor we saw a big bunch of them and they didn't know who they were passing but they wanted to pass whenever they could green flag pit stops taking place and some of those cars are being put back where they should have been for the green flag that come out here at Darlington - let's check it once again with John Curtin loot area this weekly caution has our second place runner bill Elliott's crew just a little bit concerned the water temperature of around 250 degrees right now Mike losses like - 15 - 225 we'll see these cars don't run a fan anymore they use electric fan and evidently they don't have the electric fan on this car they depend on the air going through the radiator to the grill to the regular to cool the cars off and on a slow down on the caution flag they have problem keeping them cool there's a look at Billy Elliot a four-time winner here at Darlington twice in the southern 500 including that one time when he won the Winston million back in 1985 [Applause] Kenny Schrader's seven pins and 33 starts green flag once again at Darlington Raceway and of 367 [Music] Morgan Shepherd forth and they'll earn art is fifth that would be for the eighth position there single file through the front six or seven spots pin on this caution flag this if those new tires what kind of advantage they are fire front two cars pulling away car number 21 Morgan Shepherd what a good one he's happened today so let's check in with John Kernan John once it goes new car Jerry they just completed about a week and a half ago the first time I was on the racetrack last Monday when I was in shock Motor Speedway for entire test in any would both told me they thought it would be very good Bill Elliott try to make a move on Slater can't quite make it work he had the inside line many but this cooking pot pulled it off the but I'll tell you how it is getting around the racetrack right now these tires [Music] [Music] we can see the shredders still running a little hard on the races [Music] to 100 southern 500 at Darlington Raceway to guys in particular [Music] as Elliot closes up right on the back bumper just touches written in her dart goes by mark mark Martha's [Music] Oh there's the front - here's hurt hearted who has taken to Sterling Marlin is in fifth position and looks right behind mark mark there's the Cisco efforts of Morgan Shepherd the car number 21 so all three of those drivers and have a shot at [Music] as a result of winning select millions earlier in the year Marlin to Daytona Lord Miss Charlotte Burkhart at Talladega and what up can win this an extra train we seen Rusty Wallace they were reported that his car may be overheating and we can see that he does not have the speed in that Miller Genuine Draft 40 yet earlier in the day and behind them the battle for 10 terawatts in the car number 17 good run for Jeff Burton the miranne bestest Ford Thunderbird of Jeff be pleased with their Rondo Wallace's camp are concerned he is reporting the temperature is going up so exactly the thing that John Couey was talking about before the start of the race that rubber getting built up into the rain it's way in there getting jammed in there raising those temperatures it's great a problem for the number two let's go to John Turner Ward Burton's radioed in his water temperature is soaring up to 250 degrees they were achieved it started to rain screwed across the and pull that screen off they've gone to a five wire mesh I use a little more coarser there is you get rubber through the mesh Buddha Street it actually launches into the Lord Merton Johnny's be chillin four laps down in the 25th position that's the car number 31 and as the Rusty Wallace car moves out on John Andretti you hurt RT reads report a moment [Music]

southern 500 of the 45th consecutive year glad to have you with us at home there's our leader car number 25 Kenny Schrader has led up 108 of the 212 laps thus far second place car Bill Elliott back in third is Dale Earnhardt and behind him is mark and we are being told there may possibly be a problem with the 6 car the same problem that a lot of cars were having looks like he may be over to call Steve meal the crew chief and said this thing's running along with Mark Martin there the babbling Ford he's a defending winner in this race can't quite say that temperature gauge is the what it might be but they're saying it's running very high [Music] [Music] and that's one reason folks that Ken Schrader's has been running as hard as he has to stay up front because he's getting less of that five car than the other car because he really and truly has been follow anyone as Jerry said he's led over half the race an advantage key with that rub around the grill and exactly what you said vinegar was fair race recap about 106 of 210 lat cautions 431 lat the average speed has been slowed by those caution flags two hundred and twenty two point five four one miles per hour who of our leaders been well ken Schrader has led the bulk of this event Martin Marge Rusty Wallace bill sitter Lance six laps and we had trouble the 12th car crashed down the backstretch he was first and second corner and he's trying to get out way down the back straightaway in cars going every which way in five of the nine car Mike Ross did a great job he locked up the brakes and slid oh boy and here again is what happened a minute ago to derrike cope in this straight arrow Ford once again he was very slow down in the first a second corner there spill Parsons in the melon cart directly in front of him and they're going to come off the second corner and we can see that he is slow now watch these cars as they start going by and they're always something broke on the left rear tire goes flat and pieces start flying everywhere here of rubber look at Mike Wallace dead yeah and Darrell Waltrip also battled the inside a miracle that someone didn't hit Derek because he was spinning around he was right front of a big group of cars so as the left rear tire that exploded that caused the club car to spin and there's part of the racetrack you saw all the damage that tire was doing but eat that fender well on the left side the car looks fine from that side but folks at the other side it took the heavy hit look at the debris down the backstretch this is the front stretch Jerry someone has picked us up and brought it over on the front stretch well we're gonna get a chance for pit stops here on lap 218 we're gonna show you the real split as they come down pit road at 55 miles per hour and let's go to Marty Reid in our leaders pit well this is a for Kenny Schrader's team they were looking to make it at least another 20 laps so now this obviously keep them in a good cycle everything's going real smooth this is going to be a four-tire change let's go to John Curtis what an opportune time for a cross to come out for Bill Elliott the temperature now spraying water in [Music] pull this 11 ha Phil Elliott he's down and away they took some tape off the grill and also took around the winch out bill Weber Michael Waltrip the only two feet car is hitting on the backstretch are in this deep for the four car has been very patient for strategies to keep sterling in the race the front of the car was better go they say the tires the 30 car still in the pits they can need to spray water on the [Music] now here the cars coming out of the pits say them let's say work on it way up to copy screen there comes Rusty Wallace he made a good pit stop but hey he's a lap down he wasn't supposed to the next time around it may be a so accustomed to coming in when the leaders do just forgot but the rule is that he needs to go to the longest the end of the longest and I okay now he's coming back in while we the Albert overheating problem we said they've had snow he's kind of tilted up that's why he stopped earlier because he was gonna have to stop twice anyway so he might as well just come in and he's gonna start at the rear the long slide anyway and feel that it's in with a hood up on that car we had a report that he was overheating John Kernan well what they're trying to do besides Judy Johnson spring water in on the radiator they've also got a hose another hose going our time fighting is overheating from what bill pulled in you could just see all the rubber buildup on the grill and now they're just trying to get him pulled way down and rusty steelhead you see buddy parrot there in the middle of the car working trying to peel some of the sheet metal away that gets the boiler to the radiator we're under caution here at Darlington the fifth time today for a spin involving the car number 12 of derecho back with more of the southern 500 after this [Music] on a beautiful area here in Darlington South Carolina there is that massive crowd on hand for the race and John they're watching a will of an event but we got some problems with some of the competitors yesterday Jerry the big problem is the rubber from the tires is clogging up the grill and stopping the air flow this is a cheese grater as you see the water which represents air pours through fairly freely well we take little cheese here this represents a tire rubber and as we try to pour the water the water just doesn't pour quite as free so as you can see you get through the cheese in the cheese grater clogs things up the rubber in the grill clogs things up and the air can't flow through through the radiator hey John that chicken I'm gonna make chicken cordon bleu later this afternoon bitter you want to join me perfect we'll meet after the race all right chicken and cheese and but we can have a little fun with it but these guys certainly are very concerned about an overheating problem -

laps from Darlington after this stay with us back at Darlington Raceway laps are winding down 16 laps remain if the race ended right now he would have us a shuffle of the point standings Rusty Wallace with Game one mark would lose one run up to an urban with back 1 & 2 look at the point 6 through 10 Kenny Schrader who had such a tremendous start today would lose a spot Shepherd and Elliott Elliott continues to climb 5 races ago he's in 15th spot and now he would be in 8th position Michael Waltrip and Jeff Gordon rounding out the top ten and I see the blip has found the leader [Music] his powers if you see just one card between them that's Bricklin [Music] well we Dale earnheardt knows I asked Andy Petree his crew chief Dale had kind of slowed the pace down to save his tires fact I told Andy that that's what you guys are speculating during the commercial break and he looked at me since gee I don't know I'm hope so to slow down he's got 16 more laps and he's not going to get any more time when she certainly does have but Bill Elliott meanwhile is driving his heart out Archer so we'll see I shakes out our our token aliens really uses tires up he's probably gonna catch him because you

smoking racecar that day the car was smoking time JOHN CARTER gone from well maybe the car just is not handling we don't know if it's the tires are they're just off a little bit on the setup and right out to the past Andy Petree and told his driver Dale Earnhardt said Dale think about the big picture in other words because the big picture is that million dollars it's awarded in New York at the end of the year that's some kind of decision to make do you really go all out and go for that hundred thousand dollar bonuses hundred thousand but once again maybe some tires one two - the lead is kind of stabilized right now but I would say that bill not more run the car is hard father soon [Applause] [Music] hard to see which is which [Applause] position [Music] for the trash house 1200 his best days

I wish they’d do a Bill Elliott Darlington win diecast like they did Martin and Waltrip,

[u/[deleted]]

Believe this is Junior Johnson’s last win as an owner.

[u/Intimidwalls1724]

Wasn’t this Bill’s last win until 2001?

[u/lt12765]

That extra dashed line down the middle of the racing groove made old Darlington look even narrower than it was.

[u/J-Nole11]

Does anyone remember why they moved the start/finish line to the backstretch later?
