Earnhardt are 162 and 341 points back and there you can see that as you look through six through ten it's a pretty tight battle there from six through ten on well we proved fifth prevail now and show

five and they would see current art as we said in row six Jeff Burt Sterling Marlin some great competition all back through the city real about it everybody's pointing course that guy and his little brother Bobby too will be a factor in this race so one of the keys to winning here guys the keys are coming off that corner and not spinning the rear tires take a lot of patience you have that horsepower just press that accelerator before sometimes that can be your biggest enemy on this racetrack baby says being those tires then you start slipping and sliding worse worse worse the first thing you know you can't get off the course no ancient builders try to get as much horsepower as they can and each and every racetrack except this one they still have that horse fired up at 8,000 rpms but its 6,500 rpm state detune the edges so that they try to keep the drivers from spinning those rear tires let's take a look at those who fail to qualify for this final event here at North Wilkesboro Ward Burton Dick Trickle and Gary Bradbury and it was sad to see any if anyone have to miss a race here lots of onboard cameras for you here this afternoon that of course is the roof cam on Dale Jarrett we are set for the green flag here at North Wilkesboro for the 93rd time and final time for an ant's car Winston Cup race the green flag is waving and the Tyson Holly farms by just about a half a car link outside front row starter Jeff Gordon leads lap number one Bobby Hamilton now moves up to challenge ten must great for a second [Music] Hamilton has second place Musgrave in third Mark Martin fourth Ernie Irvan is in that position and Hamilton looks like he's ready to challenge for the lead taking a look there comes Earnhardt trying to get him on the inside of Michael Walker trying to follow Rusty Wallace to that hole and a battle for the lead the battle for third position and also a battle for the lead yes Bobby Hamilton comes up inside of the Jeff Gordon and takes the lead for he got a great bite off the corner that looked at STP Pontiac is hooked up today I talked to Bobby Hamilton down in the garage here and I said how's the car he said I'll agree with him this is Mark Martin's route cam third position up ahead as Jeff leader Bobby Hamilton being continues to try to move up you see he's gotten around the 21 a michael waltrip still behind Rusty Wallace [Music] Michael Walter trying to get inside the Bobby Hillin see Ted Muskaan's Bowl center extremely high up in three and four [Music] a faux there polos already this is 8:00 tonight rusty is a Dale night and looks like the Ted Musgrave is slipping back badly huh yes it is he appears to be loose like I said his car was fast in qualifying he hoped it would be good for the race but this is definitely a different setup for the race than what he is multi slit back to ninth position Ted Musgrave has [Music] now Earnhardt takes a look inside of Rusty Wallace at the end of the straightaway takes the position easily slides up here comes Wallace crying back buddy so Dale Earnhardt now up to seventh and look at Ernie Irvan Urban has closed right up on the back bumper dog Jeff Gordon takes a look in that 28 the album car started in fifth place this car has been good been officially unloaded here on Friday that's beginning to practice once again Ernie Irvan tries to work inside of Jeff Gordon didn't have the momentum build up there in the corner to take the position on the straightaway and so urban continues to run in third place but how about Ted Musgrave he's fallen back Jerry Willie has Bob and I talked to Howard come talk to crew chief and Ted ed 72 seat on the radio but watching they could presume the department getting in the corner tight in the middle of the loose often with the rains last night back to 10th position and to take that spot away from it Ernie Irvan still working side by side of Jeff Gordon he's going to get it Ernie Urban goes to second now he sits his eyes on that Pontiac and at the very same instant that was going on Dale Earnhardt was passing there eco clued up into sixth place so 13 laps have been completed poppy Hamilton as put his STP Pontiac out front of Ernie Irvan Jeff Gordon Mark Martin and now Dale Earnhardt who has moved to fifth position we'll be right back in just a moment [Music] Green is back out at North Wilkesboro the Tyson Holly farms 400 under way again best battle on the racetrack for 30 spot Burkhardt what's it from Gorton they go in the corner wheel the wheel and Earnhardt comes out with the spot and Mark Martin now is going to try to pull up alongside Jeff fight him too much he's thinking to the big picture of those points he doesn't want to get into any skirmish here the early part of the race so he's already planned elapsed got him five bonus points so he'll settle in their spot this comfortable for it mark Martin's Rukh and you can see that he has indeed passed Jeff Orkin so jeff falls back already donut on the side of the what car there Rick mast as he in Nemechek are real side-by-side he hope that's all the damage when he leaves this rain crackers like wheel mark geoff bodine woohoo gets a little loose and the traffic jams wrong with his car with his car if something is wrong with geoff bodine scar left ironclad ned yes good eyes so Geoff Bodine has won this race three times eighty nine 92 and 94 but he's into the pits early for an unscheduled stop what what happened there in turn four when he was one of those drivers that made a pit stop during the caution and you see apparently the tire goes down there he gets a little bit crossways gets hit and right in the middle of all that traffic he does a good job and so does a lot of other race drivers do a good job there keep them running over here so the work is already done on the QBC board and Geoff Bodine is rolling once again meanwhile up front at his Bobby Hamilton leading Bernie urban Dale Earnhardt now third and Jeff Gordon has reaped a spark heart yeah Marquart going to the core slow to just left Jeff Gordon go by I thought for a moment that something that happened the bark bark scar but he gets was late in Jeff Gordon go [Music] field summary for you with the starting position of each line and Joe Nemechek is also in the pit area he was involved in there with tire or something you see Morgan Shepherd making pass here and the left side of Ken Schrader's car is showing some wheel marks - they're all passing the pole-sitter here in the early going he's back walk about 17 Jerry has poured Musgrave is just continue to drop back Jerry Bob you're exactly right not exactly what they had hoped to have happen you know we talked about how green the rate track was howard Conflux that the car is just so tied now they can't turn it they were open the track would come to them in the first 30 laps but almost pushing 40 laps now and the track hasn't come to him but the traffic has he Jerry I'm up in Jeff Conine script and looking at the tire the flat tire that came off there the left rear and we can't find any problems there were no punctures they say the tire just went flat all bow stems are in place so there's no problem there they say the tire just went flat they can't find a function let's go to Bill weather another strong qualifying run for Johnny Bench and he also drove in the Craftsman Truck race here on Saturday coffees they said they learned a little bit from tire where Johnny got more news as the race went along they were hoping that wouldn't be the case today they were gonna make the pencil before the race went on but right now Johnny's car is a little bit loose that's what he's telling his crew they're running a tight place right ahead of Jeremy Mayfield and here is a battle between very close man Jeff Gordon and coke moves into the death jab back to 6:00 so after leading the early last Jeff Gordon finds himself robbing back as now he's going to receive a challenge from [Music] this is from Cowpens scars he looks at Belgian and Jeff cream Cartoon Network our this is the next of the last car Kyle Pitt is behind Jarrett there Jarrett was the last one that didn't stop everybody behind him stop and they all Neville new tires and I'm sure that they're sick they're wondered hey we made mistake coming everyone up now have passed him John her the carnot with Dale Jarrett told his crew chief Todd Parrott right before the train came back out he said hey we should have pitted taking on four tires because this car is very very loose so yes Ned you're exactly right they're second-guessing [Music] mile patty picks up the position on Jarrett by the way gentlemen the check and Jeff a dime each lost two laps when they made their drink like this Ricky Rudd Wally Dallenbach here is Bobby Labonte who took a Champions provisional to get in the race but Darrell is picking up some spots out there those fresh tires make that kid stop so he is really coming back up through the B laughs a very smart way running in the back here the back of the field when the caution came out so he just chose to come in put on new tires contact there between dollars back and bobby labonte close it right on the back bumper they'll walk the started 37 and it's currently 17 bears on the short track [Music] nobody knows their way around this track by the dural woman he's one time Jeff Hammond rat dental Darrell he was brought in 2017 twenty point seven zero seconds and the leader was running 20 inch to threaten out there Walter faster than the leader turns into Jeff Hammond earlier in the morning and he said you know really help the fact in Darrell even though he's won ten times here and has all the experience here at this racetrack that he ran the truck race on Saturdays learn some things in the truck race that could help them today and even though they started shotgun on the field Jeff said hey this is a good car we headed to Martinsville last week we had the power steering problems behind and didn't get the chance to show how good the car was last week we're going to show how good it is today my ears all gaggle of cars I'm coming up coming down the straightaway then you got the 23 in the four cars both made pit stops during that caution they have pressure tires and they've got these guys who are racing side by side with each other whoo three abreast here sterling you better back off Joe Nemechek going by the leader of the race Bobby Hamilton with those fresh tires he is faster look at Ernie Irvan who's now come right up on the back bumper of Bobby Hamilton first and second twenty-eight car the halvah textual car has been [Music] our year it was a very fast way three hundred and fifty laps ago fifty have been completed in the Tyson Holly farms four hundred as we say goodbye to Winston Cup racing at North Wilkesboro ran over something kind of tire and coming off return for him barely hit the wall I was sitting there and I didn't go until they threw the flag because I knew that you know we were gonna go a lap down and so i sat there I got trying to crank the car got it correct and I sat there for a second and he had the yellow flag as and he dropped the flag so I took off and they didn't like it much but that's what saved it for us really going up there and tying Richard Petty's record for the most consecutive starts and and going up there and winning the pole yeah that was a special day and then we're able to come back Sunday win the race and that was you know that was one awesome race for us and probably the most memorable race I've ever run at North Wilkesboro I was trying to run rusty down got caught up in a wreck there and we just jet and I just barely made it through rusty didn't make it through and then we beat Jeff out of the pits there for that last last pit stop near the hole Terry Labonte has moved from 16th to the 8th position and take a look at his record here in his 35 races he has four wins 14 top fives of an average finish of 9.3 we've had a change of leader as Ernie Irvan has taken over the top spot let's take a look at our take them off the second corner earning just repented left hits accelerator and powers by sound of a great handling race car but right now as we as Bob said they aren't some heavy heavy traffic Johnny Benson is and the PS bill Weber Johnny Benson ran 59 laps and now sits on pit road a four-tire change for the Pennzoil Pontiac and a chassis adjustment that got the right side on now they go around to the left several guys 42 dropped back in the field and couldn't hurt [Music] he's been in quite a while four tires on for Vincent Jack is away Johnny heads back as the fun of the field foods by there you can see Earnhardt being challenged now by Rusty Wallace so quickly there in the opening laps but now he is brought back to seventh position rusty takes six what's the situation with Dale doc well the concern we talked about with tires is starting to rear his head here on pit road we're seeing some of the top teams say that in the spring they can go 75 left maybe 70 on the average with his first pit stop they look good your people sit in lap 16 gonna go away big time you're gonna be slipping the spot but even upfront the 43 car believe but look for pitstop in the first opportune time the next 10 to 15 left and when the first leader comes they'll all follow well their respect was pretty accurate because we're on the 62nd lap now and we are seeing some drivers slipping and sliding badly out there as we take a look at another Graham field summary Ernie Irvan coming up on slower traffic now hurt me what he made his return here year ago led 30 laps again about to put a lap on John and ready and ready is running in the 31st position in part part right now the family the fastest car on the racetrack remember he had fallen back to about 60s worked his way back up the third is Bobby Labonte any shredder go by Michael Walker then you I think Martin Martin just sit there and tried very hard not to abuse those tires in the early going tried to keep a straight pattern around the racetrack I think is paying off for him here on ham little different look to the 11 car there a Bret bowties former winning here at North Wilkesboro there's lake speed to the inside of Michael Waltrip this is about 16 17 18 and 19 look at Johnny Benson he's got those new tires on there look at him go feels so good the caution flag were to come out right now a lap or so down Wally Dallenbach is up ahead Wally also amen for a pit-stop not too long ago but those running up son having yet to come in for their pitstop we want to be here when they make this because it can definitely spell a good position on the track and a bad one so we'll take a break and be right back back at North Wilkesboro well here are the pit stops we told you about however it's under caution let's go to Bill Weber first Mark Martin on pit road under caution right side tires no signs of a chassis adjustment yet this should be a four-tire change in fuel jeff gordon is also on pit road dale jarrett is on pit road Mark Martin sitting in the bobbling board they put on the left side meanwhile Dale Jarrett has left the back of pit road is on his way now Martin leaves he cuts off Terry Labonte and Gordon is on his way as well right front fender was Benetton Bobby Hamilton like an urban pimp we're pillow standing by right side damage to the havilland for they've changed the right tires now they're going to hold Ernie Irvan on pit road Larry McReynolds appeals to the Winston Cup official birdie did come down pit road earlier and continued on his way Larry McReynolds lobbying for his cause visibly upset permit being held here on pit road now nor even Reynolds it over with the NASCAR official law school and the bill she pointed out he did as soon as he came around he didn't wait for the pace car to pick the field up he came down pit road his crew sent him on around or at least he went off round and got completely back to the field and then came down pit road when they did but the kids were not open when he came down the first time the officials there and of course he is being stopped also down at the exit of the pit road while the field goes by well we are under caution because of an incident here on the main straightaway involving Kyle Petty and it ultimately involved urban and a Hamilton let's take a look while this started back in turn three and Kyle Petty comes off the corner mails the gas gets sideways goes down gets in the 28 car and also the 43 car we've seen Martin Martin way down on the inside he avoids all the prongs both the leaders were having a problem now this is going in turn three and you'll see the problem start here there we get a bump from the eight car he gets the car sideways he might have had a flat tire because here when he got on the gas the car just suddenly snapped sideways and he goes around and that's when the other leaders make contact with Kyle Petty Kyle is back out on the track Ernie Irvan however has come in for another stop as they continue to work on the left front of the Texaco Havoline Ford we'll take a break and be right back with more from North Wilkesboro [Music] I would say my most memorable moment would be I think it was in 1988 or 89 I was leading the race with one lap to go Geoff Bodine was right behind me I was going into turn one he bumping her in sent me up the racetrack he took the lead and they asked me come down the back straightaway I slid right back in behind him and I bumped him and turned three and shot him up the racetrack I slid underneath them won the race and I looked up in the rearview mirror and all I saw was people sliding all over the place and then I come in victory lane and some of Geoff's crew chiefs wife's another hovered as I was pulling the victory lane and they took the right hand and pop it through the window that at me never mad as a Hornet so there's been some real wild stuff happens North Wilkesboro I've won a lot of races there's been a good track everybody has his favorite memory about this great old racetrack Rusty Wallace in 25 races here has three victories and has finished in the top five twelve times Jerry punch updating some of the pit stop down here Bobby Hamilton's car number 43 they the car was running a little bit degrees right front fender was kicked out a little bit but there was no prop of the tow in the 24 cars going around out the right rear the car with two loose the two car four tires and no adjustments whatsoever on Rusty Wallace at Miller for the Green Wave's it will vote for him let's check in with Bill eleven more tires for Dale Earnhardt says his car is good was a little bit loose before they hit it Mark Martin pitted 18 point six four seconds four tires and leading the race ernie irvan's car is not handling well it's towed in a mile they said they're going to try and go to the next caution but he may not make it that far Dale chaired in four tires track bar adjustment remember he was complaining the car was loose Darrell Walter four tires in the track bar just a small one to turn tight that car up a little bit Rick mast came in four tires no adjustments he's currently running into six spot Ernie Irvan indeed it cannot catch keep up with the rest of the field is very slow on the racetrack but some good competition you're looking Rick bast working to the inside of Dale Earnhardt and this is the battle position after starting in 28 good performance for Rick mast and there a Walther right behind those cigars barrel started in 37 firming in seventh spot while the dollar back dissipated that scheduled pit stop he had made of green flag pit stop now both Ernie Irvan and Kyle Petty are just one lap down 43 Bobby Hamilton who was also involved in that skirmish here on the front straightaway is still on the lead lap here's Ricky Craven Jeff Burton Gary cope and others racing also Sterling Marlin they're in the four car that's all for position all in the lead lap [Music] again there's a clam cram field summary see for you to say now these cars right now with the French tires running about 20 seconds left here on the inside Ricky Craven takes that position away there's that new look number 11 as he gets into the side of Ricky Craven that's Brett bowtie who won with a spring race here in 1990 messed up his ride club mineral met pretty gold cars he got the left rear up Ricky Cravens car there goes derrike cope under Darrell Walker so those Jeff Burton thereafter man let me back to the inside darrell waltrip hanging on his night position any wallis the aid of Hut Stricklin Bobby Hillin Ted Musgrave all battling in the back of the field round about 18th 19th 20th position on back [Music] they're 28 car is still remaining on the lead lap a number of them of course allows flattering that would skirmish Iran for the number of drivers had made green flag pit stops before the caution came out and we see Ted Musgrave the pole sitter the Family Channel pronto car back in 27th spot next to the last car on the lead lap that's trick the last call for the [Music] who has made a couple of it stops in the last few minutes and the Circuit City car was Hut Stricklin Jeff Green by the way as Benny mentioned driving that 29 car this week meanwhile up front Bernie urban loses another lap and that will put him to down back in 32nd position Mark Martin has Lee Jeff 42nd and Rusty Wallace looks like he might be coming in that pillar looks about as races I've seen rusty in the last couple of races we had a problem between Robert Pressley and Bobby Hillin neither go completely around and no caution a tough break for Bobby furl extensive damage to the right front meanwhile we continue to watch Rusty Wallace as he won second position Wallace a three-time winner at this racetrack looks to the inside headed down into the corner number three here he goes back off of it going into the turret II won't body back off plate Pam the position again thinking of that big picture the big picture the net start wasting it let's take a look at this in the corner between Presley and Helen that one Oh situations where the car goes in the corner the driver on the outside it's hid for the one on the inside all the time 33 car got hit right in the left front tire could have fit the steering on that automobile and John tell us about Robert Pressley I just talked to Andy Petree who will become the owner of that team this week coming up he tells me that the tow has been so Roberts gonna really have a handful out there let's go to Jerry punch gonna call Bobby Hillin on the pit road choice over fit news in the car maybe injuring and Robert said we really can't help up here how bad the cars hurt were concerned about a tire rub one event of the fender is pulled away - there on the wall poised to bring the jabber agents for down it sure looks a medicine Ernie Irvan is in bill and they're going to try and cut off the right front fender they were held on pit road for too many men over the wall and then sent to the end of the longest line for pitting too soon so it was the double whammy we're going to try and cut the front fender off the 28 carts under get back out back to dr. Vaughn [Music] Rodie right side yard and Bobby Hillin sounded away Helen goes back on the racetrack but Ernie Irvan continues to sit there as they work on the car on the racetrack meanwhile Rusty Wallace is coming to the front he is about to challenge mark pardon for the lien here on lap number 96 we are almost to the 1/4 mark here at North Wilkesboro that Tyson Holly bar [Music] back at North Wilkesboro where Rusty Wallace has taken the lead from Mark Martin you folks felt like he was going to happen didn't you well it did laughs after we went to break Rusty Wallace went down behind Mark Martin it turned three and four and here's what happened mark goes up the hill just a little bit rusty didn't he turn left in took the lead and so the Miller port is up front for the first time this afternoon now we look back on second place mark mark here is Jimmy Spencer and dairy coke and what are they battling for eighth spot spot Jimmy Spencer just took it over Spencer has a good race car here today it's not count-out Sterling Marlin and the board Craven which is having a good show here the Waltrip's the brothers waltrip with michael to the inside and darryl to the outside and john while you seen darryl drop back and lose some ground he got all the way up into the ninth position Johana just told me that he doesn't like this set of tires and at last adjustment that they made a slight adjustment on the track part the car is still loose on the set of tires so they would like to get a caution and be it now the racetrack they'd like to see a caution bringing back in put four new tires on it and make another adjustment to try and tighten the car up and puts it back to 19th position John Andretti is two laps down not on the same lap as Darrell Waltrip is he went all red he's going back Ricky Craven trying to take over the 10 spot Jericho he does it oops car seems to be slipping inside a little bit half coming off the turn that tough furniture and position improvement in the first 107 laps Kodiak Chevy Ricky Craven behind the wheel see what's going on up front Jeff Gordon is coming up on Mark Martin for second position as rusty continues all the way here closin in all he wants right now is just a little slip little slip the mark part if he does he'll take the spot away and he'd wait that's right [Music] but Jeff Gordon although he is not taking any chances has to be concerned about Terry Labonte back there as that wars as long as he can carry back there the rest of the season he's got the championship one but LaVon E has been on Iran the four spot and he closed right in on the back bumper of mark mark bill Weber Terry Labonte and his team came to North Wilkesboro two weeks ago and brought three cars up here including the silver one that Terry one win here in this train after that race that car was put in a Hendrick Motorsports museum the museum that one here the car they have on the track and another one Terry tested all three red nine laps in the car that's on the track today so had a great run after that clutch problem and there back part good carry whoops me wonder why Mark Martin just moved over let Terry Labonte go I was talking to mark in Richmond it's his belief that when a car catches you my half straight away back that he's going to pass you and the longer that you fight him off the more time he's going to lose he said yes I'm gonna lose three kids the second they agree they think this suits cute smart rotting fruit cam on mark mark [Music] as if Rick mast is able to gain on rusty Wallace's to a 3/4 of a second back right now and on Mark Martin try come here for a few laps and Sydney's picking it up [Music] piece of paper rubber off the back bumper or it missed our eggs these toes up almost quarter of a second in a couple of laps [Music] I think Mark Martin Luther listen Joe just like you did the bodies must make mashed pork now down to two point three seven seconds definitely Katie told the leader rick has two straight finishes of six their banner had his best performance of 1996 at Martinsville Bork spot and the 29 car Jeff Green makes a pit stop rolling once again meanwhile up front Jeff Forks is ready to take the lead away from Rusty Wallace right back behind them will Rick mast moved around carrying the body and we could see he's two and the third seconds behind now putting that left front on the concrete isn't incan challenging sure way low in that turn and here's Mark Martin moving around terrible body so mark now goes back to Poor's Labbadia 250 and it looks like oh look at that begin the half second battle left but Rusty Wallace and and the 24 car are fighting and that's exactly when I thought that my mark mark a moment ago comes up once again on Kyle Petty and putting him two laps down he's running in 30th spot after then incident early in the race here on the main straightaway Jerry update us on rusty well both Rusty Wallace and Jeff Gordon had the same problem during the last pit stop both um had complained their cars were loose both of them took different philosophy the too far decided he would go down in air pressure one pound all the way around a big gamble consider when you lower air pressure you really can scrape the tires out a little bit so Robyn Pemberton made the call and Roy said hey that adjustment Robyn was killer the car is running well Jeff : the 11 car he's falling off the pace down the backstretch and brett bodine will be coming in for a stop meanwhile Dale Earnhardt is making a move toward the front these cars in front of him but having trouble with like Earnhardt is getting closer closer and Ernie Irvan Oh what the wall ban in turns one and two that was a close call Maria thing just went up the banking almost hit the wall but he regained control by the way the 17 car Darrell Waltrip has just been lapped after he was up at the top ten Wahlstrom now what lap down in 24 the rig mass has cost Jeff Moore and look how he did it what his times there compared to Wallace every one of his laps was down in the 22nd practice and darrell waltrip lost a laughs he came in John an appeal old it'll be right side tires only also a track bar adjustment and also a wedge adjustment is right side tires killer DW but he did lose a lap so he decided to come in and hopefully may catch a caution - now Jeff coordinate item was a battle for the lead shaping up it's a good battle down death falls in behind rusty and hookers Rondon Jeff Gordon's buffer drink masters right there waiting for his opportunity into turn one they're awfully close here good clean racing there and that Jeff Gordon is going to pass him it looks like no rusty battles back on the outside now he gets the lead contact throws Wallace out of control rusty went over to start to come back down and Rick was going to run in there while he was up high and it open and that could've been you're right now as Martin Bart blows by Rusty Wallace and I'd say what both are reports if they don't have a flat tire the right-front own rig masks are in the left rear on Rusty Wallace car now the question is handwritten masculine catch 24 how much was rusty was holding up to 24 car let's take a look at this once again every seat board and go by on the inside rusted let's and go and then rusty starts to pull back down and mask what's going to run in there too while that lower lane was opened you can see the smoke fly there where their tires got together makes a pretty good contact with left rail Russia's cars torque pretty good once you get another angle there we see how it goes down to corner and boom pretty tell no significant contact yeah a great job on both albums part to not wreck there he's got a John Kernan I just talked to Rick mast Crew Chief Kevin Hamill and he says I hope we didn't hurt the car he said hopefully all we've got is a little bit of fender on the right front rubbing on the tire but that shouldn't be too bad cuz they plan on pitting in about 30 laps 22 cars are now on the lead lap as Jeff Gordon puts a lap on the 23rd runner at the moment Lakes me we'll be right back we're back at the Tyson Holly farms 400 from North Wilkesboro North Carolina coming up next right after we say goodbye to this place its major league baseball in the Padres and the Dodgers we going out of the winner wins the National League West the winner will play the st. Louis Cardinals Tuesday the loser will face the world champion Atlanta Braves on Wednesday the Pirates of the Dodgers at 4 o'clock this afternoon right after the Tyson Holly Barb's 400 we're riding with 3rd place Mark Martin and watching Rick mast up ahead in Jetport also as a 21 car of Michael Walker Michael is in 20th position so now Mike cars remain and you see the pole-sitter ted musgrave now one lap down to the leaders with them a lap down just a couple of laps ago how it is back [Music] now Rick bass will not be driving the one car next you'll be driving a 75 car the Morgan Shepherd is currently driving they do not have a driver name for this car or a sponsor right [Music] some discussion about rig mats wearing a hat interviews last week in March until after the race every sector whose heavy head also inspect now the 18 cars going a lap down here to Jeff Gordon and the other sex robot and he's at 19 spot well Curtis Bay LaSalle this situation answers some questions okay the Hat that Rick had on wasn't of voters at the primary sponsor on the car is one of the associate sponsors on the car views network systems a deal in the did you like SAP digital satellite systems a little 18-inch digits that people use when they don't have cable TV Richard told me yesterday but yeah he is talking to several different people he may have a sponsor on the line he's hoping to find something out within the next couple of weeks and he's still talking to some drivers including a very young driver and I don't know who that is but they just saying someone who has a lot of potential oh I bet you do you just don't want to tell I could need to be baby Parsons from a very very young but Johnny Benson back on pit road disappointing day continues four tires and he's one guy that really won't miss this place only a couple of which to come races for Johnny here Vincent was looking good in the early laps but has fainted he was 24 michael waltrip in the pits Rusty Wallace that goes in Earnhardt Jeff Burt having another good run in the six spot Lavanya Jimmy Spencer and Ricky Craven and mommy Hamilton and there's the 12 place car of Dale Jarrett of course 11th place Sterling Marlin just ahead since the restart Dale Jarrett has moved from 18th to 12th position so he's not doing bad here after a very xxx play start and Michael Waltrip has come into the pits he lost a lap a

completed and Rusty Wallace is in the lead with the 24 car of Jeff Gordon running in second spire [Music] it's our final visit to North Wilkesboro after 30 telecasts Winston Cup Series will not compete here after today our telecast this afternoon is being brought to you by Quaker State the motor oil that exceeds the highest standards for engine protection and by brewery fresh Budweiser who remind you fresh beer tastes better and we look back on Jeff Gordon Rusty Wallace who was involved in a skirmish with Rick mast a few laps ago that car was not hurt in any way by it it looks like because rusty has taken off man leading this race again is pression Rusty Wallace look ever seen Mark Martin and lasted fourth place car they have to own the great mass pissed off that pull the right front fender off that tires on trying to report it and that little bit of time cost him that much track position he was right on the leaders bumper when he pitted but comes out quite a bit of interval between himself and the leaders and a lot of traffic also between second and third as to what Rusty Wallace Bobby Hamilton when he made his pissed off he came out behind Rusty Wallace he passed both Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace it is called away so he got himself back in the lead lap Hamilton front or you can see a 2.8 second interval between furs today alert heart is in two jet board goes under Rusty Wallace rusty goes down quipment watch that spot Elliott what guy who is doing a heck of a job out there is a old Jared for me more starting position Dale has moved up to seventh spot there is Darrell Waltrip right behind him he's on fresh tires resume just a few laps ago [Music] Waltrip has lost four is now shown in 3035 [Music] looked like the DWF holes in the early part of the race look very good for the leaders here getting into traffic once again [Music] you know they let the McDonald Sport has been able to hang with these two cars the two leaders not able to get by them but he stayed right on the back bumper since he came out of it 17-point left behind [Music] also Jimmy Spencer [Music] one lap down these litter says Robert Pressley once again hello Tulio Jackson the 33 car our and if we can be taken over a zone here today house for two pat him on the back tell them how much I appreciate everything you done to me over the years but they want those grouse in Western North Carolina look out with Leo Jackson [Music] Robert Pressley by the way from private 29 car next year will Rick mast seems to show it some muscle here of reason well certainly he's running good Wendy's when the leaders got homeless heavy traffic that allowed Rick to catch up a little bit he has a good race car no question there he is right on the back bumper Bob Clark Park traffic that certainly helped his cause a little bit there he goes to the inside of market takes third position now the leaders have cleared what was missing traffic about four five then he'll be mmm now masters going to have two or three can see where he is and where the leaders are here [Music] a battle for the lead here comes Rusty Wallace [Music] and these stars are rusty gets the lead back here on 185th lap [Music] we Rusty Wallace and Jeff Horton and Rick mast you can be five sex the top Rick mess gets through all that traffic is heavy heavy Rusty Wallace assumes this event once again we are less than 15 laps away from the halfway mark of the Tyson Holly farms 400 [Music] rape and it goes down a bit Kang gets a kick and he goes back up and then came shorts and literally jerked a tire off the ground as they come on come on left jerked off the corner not Bernie No as you can see Russ Jeff Gordon has gone back into the lead and now the battle is for second position as Rick mast is right on the back spoiler of Rusty Wallace will rust have Rick mast got through that traffic a little better than we thought maybe BP [Music] I'm an expert yeah pay you those high-dollar exactly that's why you know big butts I said to be five seconds it looks like in about a half second it's game attaboy Rick now these two had a little incident not too long ago mashed as Wallace did look at this first 24 races to top 10 settings now they're both trying to get by the lap car Bill Elliott McDonald sport like rusty maybe on the inside of it man [Music] they'll cannot that's the leader he passed the second-place car but he had to pass the leader to get back in the lead lap oh boy look how tight this is command on man Robert Pressley has impressive powers on each other cars Horton's having a heck of a time getting around mortgage he's been behind him for quite a while Morgan is running in 16th position ten thousand dollars up for grabs here or labs that completes lat ninety-eight now trying to get around Robert Pressley but meanwhile that's really tightened up the battle for first and second [Music] as Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace come off the corner $10,000 next time around 10,000 the race rusty would like to have that money in his pocket remember they gave the halfway mark that time did they you're right that's me right yep so Gordon's got it for more job the halfway point has been reached Jeff for Swinson and down Morgan Shepherd is trying to stay on the lead just as the part of him to seven times the leader halfway point has one-on-one the Ray dr. Jerry punch has more we talked about how focused how about these drivers concentrating on the short track you're worried primarily about the car in front of you passing them and also maintaining your line a moment ago Jeff Gordon radio to Ray Evernham said hey ray who's leading you are oh that's good [Music] and check us out Dale Earnhardt has joined an ant farm cart things are tightening up here at the halfway mark yes they are 1 2 3 4 5 cars no [Music] lights together on the racetrack we'll jump on board with Mark Martin here [Music] we can hear him back off the corner back off the gas [Music] this is how Dale earnheardt close the gap look at his lap times compared to the leader of the race Jeff Gordon every one of them fast reduce the interval from 1.8 seconds left one second on the 199 circuit that's the best way I know off to hit somebody's run faster lap somebody that's very good yeah that'll work [Music] you know the last time they learn our debt he is caught these Carson Chevrolet seems to fade but although they made a fist opportunist we're on and he might have the car Justin now what do you think no weather here are encouraging their drivers to save their time please save your tires save your tires I just love to bridge team manager Bobby Hutchinson holding Earnhardt right now on this set is looking for the proper rhythm that will make him strong victory very much just spoke with David Smith here Koch crew chief Adele or they said hey Nell has been playing the car was very very our last pit stop we added wedge we made an air pressure adjustment inhales it's the best the car is tough all day this is perfect he did one more pit stop get a little more air pressure change and the tour leads owl isn't health like right now he's trying to take over the third spot and does it goes by [Music] Morgan Shepherd is on fresh tires he will probably go blowing by all these guys and earn our almost got into loose stuff if Mark Martin is gonna come up the side he's got Darrell Waltrip ahead of him faster line maybe the bottom I guess - inna who's the fastest racetrack that's that hasn't made a hit stop maybe that's running among the leaders yes FERC effort is coming he was waived back after that get stop he was back further than xx the male has moved into sixth place now we were following him just a minute ago and we saw the interval between him and the leader is quite a bit of racetrack but go buy but that's he has retired jebediah just past Rusty Wallace move into second spot there's heard art and there's Wallace Oh most he was on the inside of Dave Marcus going into turn Dave and Shepard came up there with new tires made three abreast going into the corner and Jeff Gordon green had to get on the brakes ladies wheels the key professor a question Wow see the area is on the inside 271 and look at Morgan Shepherd come up here really coming up in a hurry and you will see the smoke fly here close call for Jeff Gordon hey Marcus by the way two laps down running in 26th position it is still Jeff Gordon maintaining the lead over Dale Earnhardt Rusty Wallace Mark Martin and Rick mast those are the top five after 213 of the 400 laps at North Wilkesboro [Music] now I've got a lot of good memories I guess then bad memories because we've done so many any races there's probably one that stands out the most is a incident with me and Bobby Allison back in 71 72 IPs so you know came down to the last race and me and him was racing and on a totally elapsed ago I hit him or he hit me and then we really got with it then if we've been one more lap one of the courts who's made it that's how bad a shape it was in so you I guess that far is really getting adrenaline flowing for winning the race I happen to win the race that was probably the most exciting moment from my standpoint cause it lasted more than just points in there well guess what Dale Earnhardt has worked his way into the lead the 24th race led here for Dale Earnhardt and here's how he got around Jeff fort doing at the toughening going outside to you man don't lock him out on crack like this but he goes up there has a lot of confidence in Gordon the Gordon didn't fight him too much he just let him go and wonder if Gordon when he got in he and Dave Marcus got together looked like their tires mounted rough a little bit have added care time what justice Holdren then wasn't he is flat spotted the right front well he even came to meet that Shepherd and Marcus and was a little bit ago he said I know we want to go 25 more laps rape I'm not sure we can make it 25 more laughter cars going away and racing this back off and say that right front we've got about two more stop meanwhile Dale Jarrett has caught Rusty Wallace for sex position that was efreeti right after the typhoon he just came out of the pits Ricky was running along in about nine and he chose to make an early pit stop Johnny Benson right now but Rusty's car really has gone away he's just hanging on out there hoping for a caution or waiting for one of the leaders in front of the pietá then he'll come here Dale Jarrett's best finisher was seventh he's been in 18 races but he's right on that back bumper a rusty now let's check Jeff Burton see how he's doing [Music] to a 3/4 second behind right now if we watch Dale jerks for quality care carts try to get by Rustin yes rusty cannot control it goes uphill and Dale Jarrett drives on the inside and we can see the chip or to the second yeah he has has now passed amok Park for the third position so Jeff Burt [Music] [Music] Mark Martin ernhardt I heard you guys talking about this track in the truck race yesterday and explaining that it's an abrasive service just like it was at Darlington before they repaint it exactly we can see the rubber landed on the concrete [Music] we go around the racetrack adjust my sandpaper just takes a rubber off the tires two point two seconds Betty between for a second third yeah [Music] let's see there's the fourth place car there goes to one I know Jeff bill Gerry and there comes Terry Labonte age place car front case down Rusty Wallace Jeremy Mayfield running there with them in the 37 car [Music] and on back we have sterling [Music] team [Music] and then you're scoring pylon will show you that the next car after Sterling Marlin will be the 41 [Music] where is he tournament ball head to the pits and there comes the 43 car [Music] very Coca's in the pills [Music] there is Marlett on pit road looking for his stall here about 3/4 of the way down it's here let's go to build weapons Jericho come again the fuel and the writer on the left very funny [Music] adjustment on the left we are trying to tighten up this Kodak film Chevrolet one two three it away pulled up right inside huh trick leaders on pillar in our Neverland away Jeff Gordon down too late for tires and they will try to get us the morosanu bill ever Jeff Burton's led a lap now on pit road right side fires around his neck side court they're having a remarkable run the car was just a little loose one round of wedge Jeb did lead a lap that was the first time he's led since we were in Richmond not too long ago and on the racetrack Gordon ten day alert are no recent I'd say what Burke might is that for the lead again he's in front of these cars if they can't catch him he will be the leader here I think he's going to end up with the lead after the pit stop phrasal hit stop buddy Patton of truth take a bow great pit stop Jeff Burton maintains the lead how about that but here comes scorch commander Taylor and are closing in on him [Music] inside of Ricky Craven [Music] Ricky Rudd z-ray yeah he's the leader the right has pitted yet I think he pitted earlier in the maybe in fact you know yeah he's out there with those fresh tires he probably did games home leaders and could be the yeah but when all said and done it's going to be Jeff Burton this is actually the battle for a second place between Jeremy Mayfield rolling back onto the track after a pit stop [Music] during NASCAR Winston Cup competition with an 81 point lead over Terry Labonte Jeff Gordon here this afternoon we've had 70 liters [Music] Wallace Martin urban at her heart and Jeff has led the most 81 so far at 28 43 at that that had not had the action the frontstretch was able to Rachel II felt it would be some kind of race that when it live and Sterling Marlin and Rick mast are racing for the seventh position mass goes to the inside takes it from sterling [Music] beep doors on the lead lap fighting with Walter who's 9 [Music] one two and three nose to tail [Music] whoa he's crying his basket on the inside of Gifford Bakula scarves wiggle I think Jeff Burton car is stronger after they run about it according to the others after they have run yep taking the lead back Jeff Forks take from Jeff Burton topic [Music] are of dairy coke is smoking or other have some tough look in it I beg your pardon Ricky Rudd is still in the lead he still hasn't pitted well he pitted 25 laps before the other other frontrunners did and that gave him a long time out there there black playing Derek over that gave Ricky Rudd a long time at their run on fresh tires let's go to the Fiesta cherry country let me show you the tire Jeff Gordon was trying to hang on was an individual a Hannity patently this is the right front tire we saw smoking when he's had the brake zone it's supposed to say Goodyear Eagle that's all been rubbed up where he came into contact with Dave Marcus take a look at the front of the car pump the tire look we're with Martin post this man was showing right here that is the cord showing to the tire we jammed the brake zone is the desire of Coughlin that's how close that was Bingham cuts right front tire what second look though ever nothing quite as dramatic for terrible body he's trying consistent cell routine stop last time for tires and fuel no problems with the car but Terry just hoping to be one of the factors we get to the final one on the last pissed off bill cheering hard been loose if you've got four tires drop the right rear a half a pound over there Rick mast also for tires that car had gotten very loose today added three rounds of wedge to fighting with Dale Jarrett who is up to six five [Music] village aired a lot of clean racetrack never seen Rick mast March to catch Dale Jarrett in seventh spot [Music] nothing at all was it just holding on the steering wheel yeah [Music] there's Ricky Rudd the leader of the race and Jeff Gordon is closed and not far behind will bit ago he's like three or four seconds there you see Gordon come into the ride [Music] pressure tires by 25 laps ted musgrave just went two laps down our pole-sitter he's in 21st position so ted musgrave went from the pole to a struggle here in the race let me correct myself it's 20 laps red stopped on lap 224 lat charge [Music] we understand that a lot of drivers are complaining about debris on the racetrack and Jeff Gordon as passed Ricky Rudd now and so has Dale Earnhardt so the tires are going away on Rudd and he'll be coming in for a stop before too long you can bet [Music] well he can probably go another 20 laps of caution is out you'll get that chance right now the racetrack okay oh wow business is gonna pick up right now tell you it's our third caution of the afternoon pace car picking up Jeff Gordon the leader of the race we see the the flag is out and how the green flag is way pit road is open are they going to comment on [Music] Corday's been 20 laps Instagram the lead lap coming in on the right of your screen Dale Jarrett is in here's John they'll cheer at the very first kid they make a track bar adjustment on that car one round as then right sides are already changed left sides now getting ready to come off let's go down to Bill Weber what a prank for Ricky Rudd they shortstop this net set up to 20 they desperately needed this if their strategy was to work the right sides already on the putting nose-to-tail right in left side tires now go elbowed through Chevrolet's Dale Jarrett will come out third and run in four so indeed it was an excellent time to caution flag for Ricky Rudd who's gonna find himself in 4th position we'll take a break from the Tison Holly farms 400 and be back in a moment stay with us [Music] ernhardt and I were racing been battling pretty much most of the day I think or I think Dale had a dominant car that day then he faded at the end and I came on pretty strong at the end and as soon as I caught Dale it was about 10 laps to go and I kind of gave him a little noise let him know I was back there drove off into turn one I got underneath them I was completely square with him going into turn one you know his version he's gonna say that I went up on him and my version is he came down on me but make a long story short we got together spun going into turn one neither one of us backed it in the fence we just kind of went down in the corner did a 180 and slid up out of the groove and about seemed like a few minutes later Jeff bodean came by and won the race and so it was a pretty memorable moment they were battling for the lead and they go into turn number one and I use five words to describe what happened that I will never forget not necessarily for the words but because I reach new highs with my voice and whenever I think of those five words my voice gets just a little bit sore that day erna went out first and I understand that through a lot of beer bottles and such at his car and did some damage to it and and Linda had a new car that day so we didn't ride out on that we we rode out laying in the full of the van with a blanket on top of us so we didn't know it was people there was you had a lot of angry Earnhardt fans you had a lot of angry Road fans at that time so it looked like a riot was ready to break down so felt the best place to be was probably just kind of low-profile about the racetrack that done welcome back that - you still get up that uh that's not as easy used to be Dale Jarrett what a great movies currently at the third spot never seen Ricky Rudd and Bill Weber has a follow-up on Ricky Rudd oh well Ricky Rudd has had many frantic moments at this racetrack he's open to have a good one here today in the final race their tires on that tight border going away at about 70 laps so Danny bars burned in the crew decided to bring Ricky in at lap 220 they convinced him to come on in short stop we'll cross our fingers and see if it works well it did they got the caution they're back up front Rudd just congratulated his crew on the radio is that we don't have a great car but we do have great strategy I'll never doubt you guys again very good performance on pit road Ricky's trying to rebound from his first DNF of the season last week at Martinsville and there you see the pit summary showing where they were before the pit stop and where they are right now and Dale Jarrett is the big gainer there he was sixth before the pit stop and comes out in third position now we're gonna take a break we'll be back with more live coverage just a moment from North Wilkesboro North Carolina the Tyson Holly farms 400 [Music] [Music] [Applause] greenspan friends yeah we got the wool I got a sunny day [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and you don't find fans any better than they are right here at North Wilkesboro each has come out today to see the final NASCAR Winston Cup race Wow what's going on here I saw the smoke another bachelors walk around wonder if it might be the gear the pinion seal gone and the gear is on fire underneath the bad cotton home first and stearic Oaks car boy some frightening moments for Derrick Coleman Derek when it was owned far that his he'll get out get out and you were trying to get unhooked well you know we got so many things to unhook these days you could take a little bit of time but it's really unfortunate day for the Badcock folks you know we're here go away honest well Derek Coates gonna try to get it refix and get back in the race right as we go back to green Bob 129 laps to go and this one here they come and the green flag comes back out Jeff Gordon Dale Earnhardt Dale Jarrett Ricky Rudd and Park Park and a battle for second place there's Jared the 88 car it's a Hyundai between unit once again they make contact the head fun you want to get nobody out there was and something's dragging on Dale's car in it that's on the side the aromatic piece that goes down on the rocker panel that's hurting will not hurt anything now the wonder isn't he take a look at it again coming off turn two down the backstretch is where the initial contact occurred right there to go up in their left rear and once again here we're still gonna try to go on the inside and Earnhardt came down so they make contact twice the Judeo they're a little bit concerned about each other at that point here's Mark Martin followed by Jeff Burton and Sterling Marlin at Smith's Dolf ford is definitely trying to tell those stars to get out of the way moment ago they got together coming off turn two Jeff Burton's progress and your ricky rudd now brought up on the back [Music] 34th year [Music] right is really getting off the turn for what there it is it's a good bite coming off there apparently both tails are saying no harm no foul there on that incident of the backstretch maybe a little bit of a foul but no harm to either car [Music] that's they'll cure it Oh it looks like Marc Barnes onboard camera but it is [Music] there's mark mark that's right isn't it back of his teammate Jeff Burton [Music] putting his right ear Toby and the four cars pull up on the outside of Jeff Burton hearing the bodies in this mix also back out correct Terry Labonte is only when so far 96 was here this prank though is only 81 points behind in the standings bill has for the five-car milk during that last crew chief Cherokee Hardy says the cars behind the drivers fine in fact they're running as fast as the leader behind and track position is killing you're getting nobody this more patient than terry labonte why so good on the racetrack like this you got to have a lot of patience not abuse those tires or the car terry has five top-five finishes in the seven short track races we've had this year there you see nobody is officially listed as out of the race says then told you dairy coke just went back onto the race track and so all 37 cars I believe they by flying the wall right now I think they're all out there in 15 none of them are still on the lead lap how about that and there's only 115 laps to go there's the interval between the leader Jeff Gordon and second-place Dale Earnhardt Dale Jarrett is third followed by Ricky Rudd and Mark Carter [Music] [Applause] [Music] 108 laps to go here in North Wilkesboro Jeff Gordon the leader of the race Dale Earnhardt running in second spot there is Dale Jarrett third and deposition is Jeff Burton it's Terry Labonte seventh Rick mast Hey Sterling Marlin [Music] is his on board Kyle Petty's car it's like we've had some damage to our camera they're

distinction had two tracks you won the final race in Ontario and the final race at Texas world Speedway john kernan the trivia question is yours if you win yes what do I get Arsen I didn't read my history where's Bob what it was oh never mind [Music] Gordon has his hands full here with her guard as a tiny nine car is on the move also we understand and he's another one that the longer they run on those tires a better Jeff Burton gets let's check out an on track interval here [Music] get the wall back there off - I missed it I was looking for dealt right interval opposed to and guess what mister or that's nine tenths of a second he shaved off that interval but here we comes off the second corner goes up and no banana get at the wall pretty good so my effect that paint on the right rear

there we'll go back into the lead and here comes Dale Jarrett right behind him [Music] together they were pumping the church make the pass this time here's Jerry punch Jeff Thornton wanted to get the lead as soon as the green came back out because Jeff told Wright said when we get a few left in our tires I can't run the high groove on third floor and earn our our tires may not last 80 laps I know Earnhardt's will we'll see how it plays out we'll put a bow ever best pit stop of the day for the 99 team of Jeff Burton a little under 20 seconds we're very confident they're going to be strong at the end of this race if it stays green in fact they think they're going to be the best car in the final 20 laps not the same story for Terry Labonte the long the worst of their car cats Gary gr told me unless the chassis adjustment they made with wedge and air pressure works Terry Labonte will not win here today John Curtis no chassis adjustments or air pressure justice they're planning on running to the end without changing tires you can tell Rick to take care of the tires take care of the tires Kevin Hamlin says now that the Sun the clouds have come back over the Sun it's cooled down a little bit that similar to the way it was McLeod stay here the truth spiceps he's taken third from Dale Jarrett and that might be a bad indication for those guys up front we've been talking all afternoon about how good his car is in long green flag runs he's good here right now his hairs get hot he might be touched I'm the interval between first and third yeah Burton 2004 a little bit let two laps here now just locked up the five bonus points for leading the most laps [Music] yeah I think right now that Earnhardt is holding up Jeff Burton a little bit like Jeff maybe take that second spot away from our heart [Music] goes to second his best career finish at Richmond not too long ago he finished third that's his best career finish so he is having the best race mom his NASCAR Winston Cup career about 1.2 seconds behind Jeff Gordon [Music] right now the fleet seems to be maintaining about the same amount between Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton darn good races here guys but we have had a terrific race here this afternoon Rusty's fallen back to eight some reason rusty has struggled make contact with up and three and four and Rick mascot together in rich give a call to Michael Waltrip who is right there in ninth position Jerry for whatever reason a Tucker Robin members and many and he said that the car just will not be consistent for rough seas in the car gets loose they come in make an adjustment in the car gets too tight the racecar while the chassis that was gone and said lucky too [Music] it's pot trying to close in on Rusty Wallace I Mark Martin is back in ten spot yeah mark is struggling a little bit right now then right up there at the top michael waltrip was another those have benefited way back there when ricky rudd did he and Morgan Shepherd both we had seen them get laughing I'm sure there's some fans out there watching well have this guys get back in the lead left they make early kid stops under green ran faster than the leaders were running and then when the leaders made their pit stops that gave them that put them back in the lead lap and then the caution came out mark mark had his first kind of start here in April of 1981 twenty-seven mark marking the family another Napa field summary showing 15 cars on the lead [Music] Mark Martin looking for his fur 1896 it's best finish here in 1996 was at Sears Point in Michigan second here is a battle for position the 43 mayor at the 75 and the 18 [Music] 12 13 14 and 15 take another break was 63 laps to go the laps are going by quickly here Jeff Gordon right now in command of the Tyson Holly farms 400 Jimmy Spencer remembering fond memories of North Wilkesboro one pole one top type top-five finish Jimmy Spencer right now is running in position a lap down back up front it's Jeff Gordon that lady shrinking Bob he is just every lap getting about a half a car length or so honey here's the Budweiser race recap Jeff Gordon leading 151 of first 344 laughs 18 lead changes for cars 29 laps averaging a little over 95 miles have led a lap in flute court he's picked up again the five bonus points for leading the most laps Hamilton Wallace Earnhardt Park Urban Rudd at Burton have also led the athletes normally here we would show you cars out of race there are none everybody still running you know last year every car finished a race didn't yep 36 cars were running at the end of the race last year and we started 37 this year didn't we so it makes that a record this year break the record last year and that's one problem that is traffic because they've never seen traffic like this before every car still off very punch every other lap Ray Evernham tell this young driver Jeff save the tire do not spin the tires off the corner save those tires Jeff Burton staff is extremely optimistic they think this race begins in about sand lab and then they think they're going to be the strongest in the final corner 24 now they gotta figure out of me you saw buddy parrot there watching his driver Jeff Burton and as Ned has been telling you Burton gets better as goes along here the green flag runs and now moved right up on the back of Jeff Gordon with 49 laps to go this traffic is also at Taylor launcher and his car is not that bad a lot one either look at this incredible statistic board the short tracks he's been very large three seven top three finishes a 1.7 average finish end accumulated 150 points on the short tracks prevalent in it we see seven top-5 run seven short drag race that's right very bad more I guess the other statistic is that of all the races that Jeff Horton has been running his worst finish of the year is seven now he has had five DNFs but his worst finish while he which he terry labonte back in fifth spot he's only a shade under three and a half seconds behind the leader Dale Earnhardt is creeping up on him once again and they learn art is creeping up you're right there he just gradually creeping up there on a tooth lost about a half second though went from 3.4 to the geeks when he's run across right now he will lose more time as he is not able to run around the racetracks wait he wants to run around and that's one of the reasons closely in as close as India was to come to this traffic that he's having to go through right now or that zero there next a lap sled may not look very important but it is boy you would love to have five points for leading he has not been up front today now on top of the pillar board with Rusty Wallace looking ahead to eighth place Mark Martin and Mark Hart just passed Rusty Wallace for that eighth spot [Music] important working traffic to the inside of Jeff Green here comes Jeff birth Jeff Jeff and Jeff here but that's a bunch of - where's Boudia Jefferson is driving patient

could be real quick on new tires but they had fade on the long runs and man I'd say what the guys just did a great job of adjusting that last set of tires and it was perfect I don't you know again want to thank DuPont automotive finishes Quaker State coca-cola there's a great day the Lord was certainly with us today I heard you tell ray when that last pit stop cable you're not sure you can run with her and harden the Highline off turn four but when the green came out you took off well you know what happened was I had such a good start there and the tires came in so quick that I got out there and I got to adjust my line and start searching and you know right there before we came in actually for that last pit stop on tires I just in my line to see if I like that outside off before and I started arching a little bit higher coming into one and shooting straight off of two and man did it work you know Burton come up honest and I was trying to save it not push it too hard but then once

books we've had a lot of special moments here in these parts of North Carolina but perhaps none more special than it occurred one year ago today when a driver came back from terrible injuries here at North Wilkesboro it's the easiest answer that is my comeback it was it was rather exciting just being back and going to the racetrack actually raced the Winston Cup car and the the truck all at the same time and I did a lot of testing at Wilkesboro it was it was an exciting day probably the thing that really sticks out to my mind is when we went out to qualify now I could see people standing up but it was it was unbelievable because I could hear the the fans cheering me on when I was qualifying I mean the noise and the motor and everything didn't drown the fans out welcome back to North Wilkesboro here are the unofficial results the bullets indicate drivers that led a lap in the double bullets there by Jeff Gordon's name indicates that he led the most laps and there were 11 cars on
