this they close the gate crossing the racetrack and I guess I'll get my burger fries that is bad well sorry about that the rain came just to the nick of time in it well let's keep our fingers crossed here that things will be okay for the next three hours or so and we can get all this race in Mark Park is up front along with Terry Labonte Michael Waltrip Gordon Rusty Wallace and Ricky Craven dear top six starters there's the roof cam on Mark Martin's car you still see a little bit of moisture out there to the racetrack and I hope we will be finished with this race by then you can tune in ESPN and find the broad free of Belgium from Spa Frogger shop so are we ready to go racing okay will you be quiet we are ready to go racing at Bristol International Raceway the fans have waited patiently they're ready here's the green flag of the races [Music] the main concern to a lot of drivers is getting to the inside [Music] if gordon has not been able to do that yet the inside of it there they're racing for the-- exit now and Wharton looked like he nearly hit Dale in the back literally [Music] daelin now we have a single-file procession through the first and second turns here on lap number three it's Terry Labonte while this Dale Earnhardt Jeff Gordon Ricky Craven Ricky Rudd Ted Musgrave and Hut Stricklin [Music] Dave Parkinson's I saw up there losing positions back of the field as we get back on Brett boson [Applause] [Music] with Bodine and 29 [Music] a lot of patience here right now just at 90 car bottoming out sitting a lot of sparks up from there was the leader all right so we're out here will six marks and a lot of these race cars corner to bottom out the chassis the exhaust looking back on the entire field from leader mark Martin's car go by here and show you that again everybody is very patient at this time walking in single file formation and only completely do so that's how quickly a lap is completed here in under 16 so they're making almost [Music] bludgeoning log [Music] now from Kenny Schrader's view Robert [Music] [Music] consider it conservative [Music] he got to the inside of rec picked up that spot here comes Jimmy Spencer to mast mast also there it always is close when you pass these crystal is always goes together talked about Gerald Walter 12 times today of all night long he's going to be somewhere near in the front now that's performing run up it right now [Music] wait on there and Bill Elliott running together on the racetrack they are see 19th and 20th [Music] you can see the graphic on the screen 486 laps to go it sounds like a long time but as we indicated the laps are so quickly here an official race would be one lap past the halfway mark 251 I don't think anybody is really thinking about that the moment although of course is to get up front as quickly as possible here is Robert Pressley along with Dale Jarrett there is Ward Burton right behind in the MPM a car and then Jeff Burton to put a little pressure on Robert Redmon they're down [Music] carlins conditions are at their best this is a tough racetrack to pass on damn spot here there whether you have to be extra special careful now we can see that Martin Martin and Terry Labonte 10 have driven away from this battle for third place right now Michael Waltrip the Pennzoil connick is in 3rd rusty Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon all closing in Wallace took a look there to the inside at the end of the backstretch but Michael Waltrip continues to hang on to third it's best starred in 1995 here tonight and now Earnhardt taking a look at the inside of Rusty Wallace in the turn making no move great shot from the route cam on Dale Earnhardt's car [Music] at the center of the corner car starting to move up just in the center of the corner might be enough to live the rest of us get along side their received rich Craven and Ricky run couple Ricky's as a race for seven spot Craven at the 41 48 cars in seventh and in the tide machine Ricky Craven the leading candidate to walk off with worthy of the Year honors this year in NASCAR enough competition he's currently [Music] Burton's spotter we heard there that mascara for Chi [Music] jebadiah just made a pass on Hut Stricklin [Music] McRaven is finished in the thumbs and the last two races even ten in seventh at Michigan last week his career-best back up front of this pack involving three four five six Waltrip Wallace here's our first now take a look at these they wore last time around see your favorite driver is running and the number in parentheses is where that drivers starting now then Greg sacks in the 31 car about to be overtaken and laughs at mark mark that second groove up there works my body come from [Music] Sachs Italy on the car at the moment a lap down and as you saw he was just Mark Martin and second-place Terry Labonte in fact continue to pull away from the second group consisting of those four wishes the moments ago Waltrip Wallace Earnhardt and Gordon [Music] finally was able to get mine [Music] the rear bumper own creepy Rajgarh looking back at Ricky in the seventh position and as Ted Musgraves the Family Channel four just touches the wall coming off the corner sends up a lot of smoke the yellow is out but everybody else is going to be able to die for the inside and avoid hitting him I'm not so sure that the car is hurt all that much the saws are on it Bob oh yeah away once he does get admired and he has gone a lap down so Rusty Wallace is a five-time winner here at this racetrack including this event last year he's won the spring race for ties a is pointing and they learn art there I think they got together as it came off the turn up there who will see here here's a replay Burkhart comes in down on the inside yep tap see and looking him worked a wheel and trying to save the slide he didn't the car hit the wall both the left front and the left rear and now from the speed shot we'll take a look at it once again that second contact was pretty severe there on the left rear well that'sthat's just sheet metal back there I don't know that it hurt the car too badly but he certainly got to go in the pits and change tires which he's in the piss right now there's the fire that are briefly erupted on the car Jerry and that was raw fuel coming out the left side exhaust and rusty is sitting in a runty that took his right hand and pointed up toward the orifice whose index finger distant at the core of them all four tires and some of the village genuine draft crew also out on pit road the NASCAR forces have pushed them back behind the wall but a lot of concern here about the cars damaged from the in-car look and listen to Rusty Wallace II spin [Music] just the slightest amount of contact with the car in front of you can send him around and that's exactly what happened as Rusty Wallace has been the first to taste the concrete here at Bristol on this Saturday night we have just begun only 34 laps into this race because of a rain delay and we'll be right back [Applause] finding with Dale Earnhardt here and under a caution here at Bristol we think that there may be a black flag displayed to Dale Earnhardt we're gonna see here yes indeed the flagman is pointing to Dale with the black bunting and Earnhardt is going to go to the rear of the line because of his what NASCAR considered more than incidental contact with Rusty Wallace the fans think that was the right decision that's right there they're divided but they're letting their letting it be known what their thieving is now rusty will be able to go to the up to the front of the line on the inside cherry the left front tire is still slightly towed in but they got it as closely possibly good at the time they had sheet metal damage but a slight coating problems left front that's the only entry for the Miller Genuine Draft for here they come down for the restart and rusting will of course be trying desperately to get his lost lap back mark pulls out in front of him the however is the greatest we see rustic scarf Ottoman out and if he likes to turn with four fresh tires we might be able to get by Mark Parker but he needs to pretty quickly you can tell that he a lot different attitude about this race [Music] exactly laughs terry labonte he looks like maybe ready [Music] everybody is back off laughs made his a so here's a battle between Joe Nemechek derrike cope [Music] [Music] practice it's another driver that had a great qualifying run that NGO started it from the 15th quantifying at one twenty three point four five fifteen point five four two this is john andretti along with dick make his way up through the plank once again after the black flag and behind him his Dave Marcus we are looking to the inside of well he knows that he has to go hard support Barca that will be around in a hurry that's the Martin have already about the lap Nalin they've gotten by Greg sacks and and another so Earnhardt knows that he can get around it pretty quick so he's got a the leaders in Moscow a king positions as he gets up in the second group and those to the inside pass by Jerry has a report on what did they learn how to say on the radio all during all this Jerry he admitted it with headphones and Hey water or tap the right if I had [Music] and that said before ugly things additional in any case he was forced to the rear the feel now finds himself in journey he continues to move upward [Music] racetrack eight time three at night five during spring race they're the first two now here comes three four five six seven back wall-to-wall trip is still at the front of the second group crash up it turn number four it's Brett Bodine in the concrete floor grant has had a tough year this year the Lowe's Florida just as mechanical problems are gettin cut up in a crash or simply just had a tough tough year had to take a provisional to get into this field 33rd now Rusty Wallace has made up his lap because he was in front of Mark Martin let's watch the replay and we'll see that some contact between Bobby Hamilton about Hamilton the contact the rear the 11 car and we have pit stops now being made by a lot of those up front including Martin Labonte Waltrip by the tenth Musgrave Jill round through and Mark Martin I'm sorry yes race driver in India picnic in the 87 [Music] Keeney [Music] probably about 10 to 12

everyone avoided him but it was close as Jeremy Mayfield and Lake speed came down at full speed so Brett Bodine has his second crash of the evening within a few laps and this time the Lowe's machine is really tore up in the rear end he lost a couple of three laps as a matter of fact repairing it here a little bit earlier we began what's going on between those stupid grandpa dots get the worst end

off the banking in turn two and I don't think he saw Morgan and then went into the wall on the outside we see the chip Wharton has taken the lead so he will get the five bonus points now Lake speed is trying to go back and fun so I guess master I'll have to sort this out as plants see Sawyer meanwhile they both have passed the pace car which is trying to pick up the field coming out of the backstretch pit here's a replay that will see Morgan Shepherd rot on the right side and it's little pet from Darrell Waltrip and he will spin and no one hisses but did we get this cat understand that

come in about late nights eating lunch and night gene one 21 points x1 Mark Martin I left you Steve Millen enter a great call because they moved up good stuff or that livonian 5th so we have completed two hundred and six laps now and we're under caution here's John Kernan as you see Joe Nemechek screw working on the car you see look at contact after earlier Rose might have a leak in it to fill up the pot you can see the area so we'll have to check this out see exactly what the problem is but leave a check right now sitting in his car they're sitting here on pit road with another problem for them and of course was result of the contact that Nemechek and let's go ted musgrave we understand had a problem exiting the pits let's take a look at it in replay finishing up here on the left side

position let's take a look at our pit summary Earnhardt and Gordon stay the same Terry Labonte fell repositions Darrell Waltrip stayed the same and Sterling came in 15 and comes down seven when it's lost a lot of those positions early real good on the pitstop I'm not sure if there's a but let me tell you what they did they decided track position right side [Music] maybe it wasn't the right strategy with those war left side tires dissolution forced to the outside and here comes the line to his Bobby Labonte passes him there's Mike Wallace let's show you once again what caused the most recent caution Bill Elliott for the problem into just like the right front tire goes flat who won't get off the corner and we can see that he almost flipped over in the McDonald [Music] now from the

here's an autozone the off-track time and you can see there why Marlin picked up so many positions [Music] total off-track time was thirty five point one for Terry along Sterling Marlin however his total is only twenty six point eight but a network for students his way all the way back to the [Music] finger 20 laps to be continued at the rate he's going now the body for Darrell Waltrip is in the top five no big surprise there we understand that Darrell had a 17 [Music] or tires from the backstretch that's pretty there because as we watch them come off Darrell and all of a sudden he was four from Ilana and Jerry punches with Rusty Wallace a year ago is out of this card rusty the evening of cuts with a while before news because wasn't mine that I don't guess let's start off with a spin

These old Bristol night race replays are the best. It was very surprising just how torn up the field was by the end of the race. How on earth the rad wasn't punctured on the 3 car I'll never know. Darrell Waltrip used to say on the Fox broadcasts that the safest place at short tracks was starting up front and leading a lot because it kept your car clean for the end of the race. This race, Dale Sr came from the back on multiple occasions and we saw just how beat up the 3 was by lap 500. In those closing laps you can also notice how clean the 5 car is by comparison.

I was there that night. Growing up a Labonte fan all the way back to the Piedmont days, it was absolutely amazing to get to see Terry win a race in person. The fact that it happened the way it did made it even crazier. I'm not sure I've ever been more nervous in my whole life as I was at the end of that race. The last 50 laps seemed like they took hours to go by. Amazing night.

Nice to see this get a replay, too, since that 1999 garbage usually gets more attention.

It would be nice if they'd put all the classic race replays in their own playlist.

I remember being a tiny kid screaming at the tv during this. Such a fun memory. I hated Dale Sr for years because of this.
