[Music] put the brakes on all around this racetrack Benny I'm Kevin LePage so dependent on other drivers not to make a mistake not sniffing and they can't [Music] now there are seven cars in a lead pack single-file but in years past these seven cars would pull away very quickly [Music] Michael Walters was in the lead about five laps ago to edit now he is back leading that second path yeah but he'll catch up in a hurry here [Music] a half a lap as the the past ricky rudd in those two cars got side by side [Music] let's check in the urine armpit with Bill Leppard [Music] they're 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 newest windshield but then used the tear off during the racial 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 his dad Kenny pushing the lead right now they're back in position [Music] we can't push the car straight on for me as you kept on the story [Music] but his dad's coming [Music] the inside and that's it go for the sideline is just not going there like we've seen go fast the inside line is the shortest way around the racetrack [Music] as you watch Bill Elliott make his move how many times this year have we said [Music] that's insensitive sophomore Tony Stewart is leading today in NASCAR Winston Cup competition the home depot colors of Jill Gibbs Racing team showing the way after Ted big laps are complete we'll be right back [Music] welcome back to Talladega for more higher class

to see it on their feet screaming and waving but here comes Gordon with some drafting Heflin the outside will [Music] [Music] Skinner is still in the middle but he's about superset of position [Music] while we saw the 88 car up toward the front about left what's the problem well Jerry after they started 12 PJ 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 aerodynamics over 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 going on the bobby labonte so a couple these guys with cars [Music] he's back composing the point so let's continues this is one of those big hurdles that they had to get over then we talked about all week long now meatball back up front Dale Earnhardt senior showing the way let's check in his pitch again with bill cherry just to follow up ray just said that's why even three car got in the outside lane a few laps ago earned marks temps were going up he called in I gotta get out and get some air poor ray Dunlap was absolutely right about Bobby Labonte running just a little bit warm [Music] very very small trying to keep the car cool keep the engine so that you get as much clean fresh air as possible we say well why do we put the tape on the grill the car is gonna run warm because the more tape you can run on the grill the faster the car will run the goes in hits the render hits the engine but you have to get it right you have [Music] much take as you possibly can back up front there's a line there's the conga line they try to break each other's dress but now with a huge hole this far whoo tankers effectively Disney's here week with Trotter and about a hundred horsepower the point initially to warnings now dropping it back to 1516 so they have slowed it down [Music] scoreboard [Music] forty-third is 4.7 seconds behind the lady said heaven [Music] wanted to keep them together the drivers wanted better cela blinking the puck was that so far [Music] and we've had five different leaders and out saw the line though here comes Mike Skinner with a little help from his friends they do is he Skinner can't leave [Music] Skinner is in the lead now than you did when we get back to the stock things my effective showing that he was going Mike Skinner his best finish of this year [Music] he's chasing him right now [Music] with the immense respect applied to make the Chevrolets [Music] many there are of the first four to fill in what [Music] we surely have a two inch smaller more now we're smaller than the Fords and Pontiacs [Music] Talladega and Kevin LePage apparently had a Florida family clique the pipette Tyson and his crew to see if they can by getting the pagers running in the 11th position [Music] kept running but now Mike Skinner becomes our six different leader here at Talladega and the lone chevrolet driver trying to get his first victory in his one hundred and fortieth start back with more from Talladega in fire Talladega Superspeedway we left a moment ago Mike Skinner was about two laps in the 24 car Jeff Gordon came around Skinner and then the inside pack led by Dale Earnhardt has now come back minor car please we have had eight limbs changes so far among six different drivers we are just 24 laps and to the Westin 500 still celebrates the calculated to Thaksin three abreast [Music] the group on the inside Jeff Gordon leading the group on the outside [Music] riding a side-by-side single filers chicken in the Kevin LePage pit spray but Jerry 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 first to retire here the $43 the bat gauge read zero off record he's got a problem I'm sure pretty sure externally in fourth position famouser they'll one emits that ago [Music] Pontiacs end up to mix up there is not that time matt has moved up to sixth and there's the last [Music] then to the 99 the 17 and the 19 7 greer the Jack Roush cars back 20 in the 40 of 42 seconds 44:10 22nd position Dale Earnhardt continued to delay on the inside of the heap on starts a moment ago Bill Elliott hard to believe below he does not want [Music] to change today they got back to our flux Dale Jarrett back here for spark back when in there there were 30 1536 to about three laps ago and now they're beginning to move up a little bit the space between themselves and the car women find that attractive Gordon and scooter got a good run in Challenger gnarrk [Music] the situation there that's already working for him right the outside that Ricky Craven at the Midwest transit card number 50 right in front of Kenny Schrader they have been basically moved [Music] Llewelyn all the way down below [Music] David [Music] [Applause] Stewart had to make an evasive neuticle goodbye [Applause] [Music] forty two cars are within four and a half seconds of each other outside of the 25 kind of pushes my dude down to the middle he closes the other [Music] but not quite make it [Music] the further make that move a minute [Music] invitation had a problem getting smacked enough are the kilotons hurt quite as much and look how much that Jeff Gordon how much space he lost since the last time bye to that inside [Music] opportunity falling there behind Ricky at Talladega I can Talladega Superspeedway the Whiston 500 presented by UPS Joe in the early laps and there they are from high above shot of Talladega Superspeedway Percy the fine folks at

the lead Tony Stewart [Music] which word goes nemesis let me one of these cars [Music] dancing-bells it 4/4 and net speaking of dropping back the 24 car of Jeff Gordon is now 20th position as he is going backwards the 18 in the 88 of Bobby the body advantage Erica coming forwards that were sealed of a reversal we saw in the first 15 20 left for this race I respect all their power they have shown so far in the respect that they [Music] dear Bobby Labonte [Music] still running wide open around the Speedway [Music] almost all three have very very that middle group work there maybe that's the difference is having strong race cars [Music] maybe they didn't have the right drafting partner or whatever the case might be but certainly they're making it work and there's Jimmy may feel like they know [Music] looking back at sterling mine you see their journey the wife side of the screen ah sergeant [Music] inside the 20th spot from the outside line [Music] the inside line these moments when this race is over Jeff Gordon go to know exactly highest car hounds in every position because he's going to be a most positions certain vending a lot of traffic however I'm sure that's Jeff Burton aka captain provisional I try to Frank started his crew chief Isaac new school behind in LA traffic jam in front of us were waiting for the traffic up to wave us through but in reality here to be part of a plan because Burton just called in and another he talked to Frank Stoddard but he calls her Robby ray and said have Mac close up a little bit we don't want to lose these guys in front of us when they pissed right now they think it's safer near the rat but they are not frustrated this is part of a plan [Music] toward the back of the pack there with Jeff Burton running toward the back meanwhile Dale Earnhardt seven-time Winston Cup champion and mr. restrictor-plate Dale Earnhardt senior Talladega 10 wins restrictor plate competition and Earnhardt showing him how to get it done after 36 laps back into the vault [Music] well the Vikings are a powerhouse in the NFL and how about mr. Bernard mr. restrictor-plate what a powerhouse he is at Daytona and Talladega then he's at these two racetracks 31:5 fast he just goes on to over 2,000 laps keeps adding to 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 it goes down the core just up on the outside cut off the corners [Music] trying to fight his way back to the front [Music] Rusty Wallace and the Miller Lite Ford Taurus [Music] now 22nd please gain 16 spots but Elliot [Music] they'll side by side through the banking Earnhardt trying to hold off awesome bill and Bill cracking Bush as you watched it side-by-side actually let's check in with Ray Dunlap and here ratios because they weren't sure we've got a variable all the way from about a 294 3:15 does is it's gonna change how fast you can come down which most guys come down pit road on second here will be about 3,500 to 3,700 but robbery aides just got on the radio and told Dale Jarrett to try using first gear Road it'll help get you here a lot quicker gives you here in a lot of cars trying different strategies if you watched bailout who became our seventh different leader today [Music] forty third level then in the past cell the years they could run about fifty two think about that summer I don't believe that they could run that long now with the proposal ok with these those things up on the rift under the pole of spoilers outside and many back in the spring they ran he ran out of gas he was a good tinder and ran a few end up losing a laugh and that cost him I'm very very sure that you don't lie on the field The Cosby do it at the start/finish line the time he coasts around these four seconds behind the leader just four seconds behind the leader and he's in touch with the during a pit stop that's about 300 yards on the racetrack you may never you call backup [Music] outside lay the Eminem's Pontiac at Kenny Slater has got his very first win at this racetrack back in July of 1988 [Music] Kenny Wallace still looking for his first Winston Cup win very strong part of the antique Icarus tale [Music] listing the crew chiefs they're talking to

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 fit became 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 car still up in road rusty will go off by himself two point six six mile track others are coming TN rescue got out in on the backstretch takes

Musgrave at the BellSouth car the old one stood on the board to spit of 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 car is 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 just a little bit hot did not remove any tape that I saw [Music] as they come down the lap 49 bill Elliot will lead it down a post the leaders hour on pit road Graham and Dan store ready to service awesome point leader Bobby Labonte is in a four-tire change they're not making any chassis adjustments to go ever its you see triple Pittsburgh words on his way Dale jr. behind him the 40 egg was all here and the lane [Music] where he was pinning at the far end he was able to beat and now her heart is beating circus remember these were green flag pit stops and they were telling in the drivers busy charity [Music] over the time - matt kenseth one of the racketeers who was hanging back to at the back of the pack ascend through his pit stop a four-tire change they also made so chassis adjustment on the Left root of Bill Weber and as we talked about this part of the plan they want to make sure pit road was clear they were able to stay out another lap apparently rough fuel mileage attempt here by the rouse guys it's horn tires for Bernie working on the left side they cleaned the grill he's got fuel and now he will be held Jeff Burton by the official this would have to be able to imagine too fast down pit road he held for 15 [Music] cars are store routes for the shoots a pinning on that laughs 217 the 99 the 97 has a Welsh engine well that will be devastating to Jeff Burton here comes Mark Martin him to pitch he stayed out later left will now Mark Martin on pit road and he's a very lonely figure a track bar adjustment on the rear now they come around the left side again these cards flowing in weren't no complaints trouble with the left-front they could not seek the left front tire on finally got her honest marks on his way Walter mentioning pit road and Stacy Compton most keeping a pic chart at home spin and I prepared to say this we have been caution brings us far for the first 51 laps as they flashed by at that time green flag pit stops have been awarded today the first round of pit stops 47 and 50 and the seven-card all of a sudden was leading the race as you run out fuel Ned well I wonder where the heat is coming out of the kids we must take him home ago he was in a hog pet dog with the six car in the line and looks like he's

the outside but he's trying to get down to the inside fondant he said come on there son let me in the bottom [Music] [Music] he Wallis come down pit road basically by himself although the 50 was there [Music] sure 100% sure they could get to laugh 50 keep an eye on Ward Burton he's running he was running in the fourth spot last time he came by the pit road area but his water temperature is weaning at 200 80 degrees since food cheap common parlance and every now and then kind of get out of the draft a little bit to get some air into the radiator to cool things off at the time he also said in but don't worry about it because everybody's running a little bit here and also michael waltrip a little bit of problem getting up to speed as we could see and we documented talked to his crew chief Bobby Kennedy he said I don't know if there's problem Michael didn't tell me there was a problem but he did come up - aw well John Johnny Benson came in had a real good pit stop from Jameson's crew 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 2nd gear that doesn't matter when I'm racing right now but next time he comes down for

they come down pit road you see even our camera guy over the Citgo car the chat man look at the 21 started to go over the wall only put one foot over but then that's what resulted in the penalty the two cars looking very similar coming down pit row wow I thought about that and you know what they're both blue and white in this particular race every observer has a different paint job and they do free pizza apart so that was an honest mistake wasn't meant to gain an advantage at all for Jeff the other attorney the racetrack that he is now 24 seconds behind the leader losing ground every lap

of the crews and comes to a halt let's go down to John Kirk and they're gonna change the left-side tires in quarters first but you can see a lot aerodynamic damage to that well-run belt come off and just wrapped itself up and hit the knot through the hood up from the inside so they're gonna have to work on that also some of what was left at the tire of the tread is wrapped around the brake rotors so now are the crewmen trying to pull that away to get it off Tommy Baldwin on the radio said we got some time we got some time just do your jobs do your jobs and now that topping will actually get in and try to pull it out as it is stuck as they get pace car is in the middle of three and four the wheel to try to make it a little bit easier access to get the rest of the tread out of that left front wheel and it looks like golf man they're coming for right now so they're quickly running out of time having a problem pulling this out now they finally do get it out bag tells him to turn to where little big right so they can get it on honey bottle gets the gun is down in a way but he will have to come back in change right-side tires and also try and smooth out that aerodynamic damage that was

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 fist up he's not involved in thought that he's involved in the president he's coming down pit road was a tremendous run and and after Jeff Gordon interpret Road the pit road foe he can get that fuel illegal [Music] [Music] Martin puts it back to here 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 then when Martin decided to go in the pits and there's nothing that Bobby could do to run in the back of it Mike Bliss and my employers that Bickle the 60 car the black car

three folks watched this coming off the corner Mark Martin Bobby Hamilton make contact and Jeff Gordon was pitting I thought the deeps but his own 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 that 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

think about how he's you know we're gonna run him last two or three laps and Mike Skinner got off air and mixed it up with us and I tried to get get him on apron he was now and ever and here's my
