NWC 1993 Hooters 500

[Music] desperately trying to get the car to turn but it won't [Music] that's just the way it goes sometimes everybody at Robert Yates racing deserves a lot better than this they deserve to win that championship this year and the pain has been great and just one meant to be healthy it comes off the corner [Music] is coming up that means winning a championship the Winkies gonna do some spectacular see remember his first win at Phoenix he took one peek words of Polish victory Lampe and guess what he's gonna do it again [Music] this truly is a dream come true I helped that year too a good representative I hope that one 1993's over that he blends them for people at NASCAR and the competitors all look back to say we were proud to have him represent us as their family a year ago today King Richard penny retired with seven NASCAR Winston Cup championships insurmountable maybe not yeah I think I came along at the right time I don't know if anybody will ever come along with a circumstance of this view that's what Richard did here today he's a true champion because he wins championships by racing for championships he doesn't stroke around to try to make points and stuff he goes out there and wins the races and to be a true champion I think he's supposed to win races so you know if anybody has to do it then I wouldn't mind seeing deal do it when it started out in race and you start out trying to get some more try to win first of all get in racing second of all try to win to win one championship was impressive to the time now one five is really impressive but it's put us close enough to the market work it's possible to win seven championships in our career now we're looking at a goal of seven championship Dale earnheardt employing his aggressive driving style is on the threshold of his sixth title in only his 15th full year of competition since his rookie year of 79 he has won 53 races on the short tracks and on super speedways the Dominator has earned his nickname well in a season in which the man in black has been no lower than second in points Earnhardt can accomplish today what no one other than the king has ever done [Music] wait I figured you go to Atlanta finish how about xxx or better your number six oh wait oh right Wow go into race Atlanta and the pole [Music] the world leader is ordered for to Atlanta Motor Speedway in triple championship weekend the final race of the 93 season Hooters 500 it is cloudy about 20 miles south of Atlanta here at the racetrack but the forecast is for no rain hi everyone I'm Bob Jenkins in about four hours time we'll know who the champion is for the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup season the point standings will show you that Dale Earnhardt has a 126 point lead on Rusty Wallace Kyle Petty is looming just outside of the top five and with a good finish today could move as high as fourth but it is not over yet Dale Earnhardt can wrap up the title with a 34th or better place finish but remember last year he finished last in three different races and it's not over because remember what happened here at the race last year just as the cars came across the line to complete lap number one there was trouble triggered by those starting in the front row Rick mast and Brett Bodine there was a huge melee down in turn number one several cars were involved and for two of the drivers the race was over including Bodine since practice began here on Friday we've seen in the wall ken schrader crashed on his qualifying attempt and he had to go to his backup car Jeff Gordon's accident in practice destroyed his primary car and he too was forced to up back up even Earnhardt himself started off his championship quest with a meeting up the second turn wall he got out of the car under his own power and limped to the ambulance but after a checkup in the infield care center Dale let us know that he was unhurt and undaunted in his championship quest I guess you could say so far his weekend has been a tale of two cars or more on that here's dr. Jerry punch thank you Bob actually it could be called a tale of three cars you know Dale's dad Ralph Earnhardt couldn't be here to see his son be so successful so it's seemly appropriate that an associate sponsored by the name of mom and pops would pay the freight for a third racecar to be here in Atlanta Neil Bonnett has an identical chevrolet lumina starting back in 35th spot why if this car doesn't crank they'll will jump out of this car run back and jump into that one it's been set up for him and try to win a championship now let's talk to the possible six-time champion and Dale it's a 126 point margin how do you play it today well you probably on the safe side to start with but what's the mathematics to work out we won't try to run out go up here and win this race I feel like the cars get enough to and you know the manufacturers cuts on the line we'd like to do that for Chevrolet but most would like to win a championship for Goodrich in our race team a lot of concern about the slick racing surface and some of the sealer that's been put down a lot on my part anyway we didn't lost one car so we'll be okay well they're planning for Richard Childress his team to have anything happened they will be able to fix it least they hope so four more here's our John Kernan while the Richard Childress Racing team has left no stone unturned in their search for that million dollar championship they brought a truck down with every conceivable spare part you might need to rebuild a race car now also let's say if Earnhardt would back it into the wall they've got a frame machine they can straighten out the frame just as good as new and do it pretty quickly now a list of the inventory of the parts they've got a new front and rear clip they've got a fuel cell they've also got a completely assembled rear end that they can put into the race car if they should have a problem I guess you could say that they've thought of absolutely everything because yes they've even thrown in the kitchen sink and Rusty Wallace has thrown about everything except the kitchen sink it they learned Hart steam to try to beat him for the championship rusty you start right beside him today in 20th spot how do you challenge today's race why just got to run his harvest and possibly could the track wasn't real good shape when we qualified and I drove pretty timid that's reason we're starting as far back but the cars running strong I believe I got a car could win this race and so you know I'm gonna have to run hard and I think Dale would probably take a little take it ease a little bit to some more cars fall out until he feels like he's got the things locked up but my game is run as hard as I can hoping you had some problems real early and just do everything I can and if I come up short hey I can still say I had a great year because I'm just thankful for what all the fans have done for me this year stick it behind us and it's been a great year a lot of couple tragedies it's terrible but I'm looking forward to running this last race and trying to win this thing for everybody and if he would win it it would be his tenth win at 1993 but there's more at stake here besides the Winston Cup championship a lot else up for grabs for Moore here is Ned and Benny you're you're right Jerry there is a lot more up for grabs there are a lot of drivers who are trying to get power in the point standings or either preserve the position that they have going into this race because there's a lot of money at stake in the different positions in the point standings and not only points positions but careers are on the line today let's look at the 12 car Jimmy Spencer qualified fifth spinsters moving on to a good ride the 12 car does not have a driver or a sponsor if they could win the race maybe they could pick up both the driver and the sponsor Bobby Hamilton qualified six today and this guy doesn't even ever ride in 1994 if he could win today or run well maybe he could pick up one of the rods available maybe in the 12 car how about Geoff Bodine he qualified 11th in the car he bought from Alan Kulwicki he still hasn't a sponsor for 1994 Geoff Bodine really needs to run well let's go back to Jimmy Horton eat 105 14 and Horton been looking for a sponsor for about a year and a half now maybe a good run today with meanest sponsor for Horton and how about Rick Wilson P qualified 36 he's leaving the STP Pontiac has nothing is looking for a ride maybe a win today or a good run to get a ride for 1994 and one other thing we're talking about those point standings getting on the stage at the awards banquet in New York and a couple of weeks only the top ten and the points team is get to go up on stage and believe you me that means a lot to a lot of drivers so there's a lot of them that are fighting to get into the top ten now Bob there's one guy starting way back in the field Mark Martin back in 32nd position I think he's going to make some excitement for us early in this race we'll certainly watch for him and he will carry one of our in-car cameras for the 30th and final time of 93 the command has been given the engines have fired in a moment we'll be ready ESPN Speed world is being brought to you by Hooters restaurants always delightfully tacky yet unrefined by Hamill informative three motor oil add more life to your car and buy AC Delco automotive parts AC Delco it's like buying time [Music] welcome back to Atlanta Motor Speedway near Hampton Georgia about 20 miles south of Atlanta and the bud one airship which is used as I in the sky camera more than 50 events traveling throughout the country we'll be providing the overhead shots for us today the cars are running and they will be pulling away in just a few moments but right now let's take a look at the track that they will be competing on here this afternoon it is a 1.5 to 2 mile oval the pole speed was 176 point 902 times 30 point 9 7 3 seconds we'll go 328 laps in the field separated by just about 5 miles per hour well there's a look at Atlanta Motor Speedway and the pits are located only on the front stretch here the turns 1 & 2 are banked at 24 degrees the backstretch is banked at only 5 degrees the length of the back stretch is 1320 feet similarly back and turns number three and four the banking is also there at 24 degrees and the frontstretch banked at five degrees and 1320 feet but there's a lot of turn in this racetrack Pena 1320 feet the straightaways that turns that means are twenty-six hundred and forty feet because they're exactly twice as long as it's right away as it turns a half mile long and the straightaways one quarter mile long so a very physical racetrack for the driver a record crowd is on hand here for this wrap-up of the 93 season and now the cars begin to pull away there are 42 starters in this event look at the crowd that's gathered here they've built more stands since we were here last and each and every seat is filled as we watch to find out who will win not only this race but the Winston Cup championship for 1993 [Music] balloons have been released from the infield are are being released orange and white

Jerry punch exactly Bob I'm in Darrell Waltrip it now Barry Dodson is the crew chief again notice anything different about their pits here look behind me there's no crew here in fact just Stevie Waltrip Darryl's wife on top of the box because the crew has not been able to land the cause of fog at the airport and Barry just asked Stevie do you want to change the inside or the outside tires but seriously they have a problem the spotter for the five cars in here Jack Roush has 16 guys missing right now rusty Wallace's crew just got here about four minutes ago we're told Billy is junior Johnson team is missing four guys the catch can man four [Music] factor here as we get ready to go to green it was very foggy earlier this morning but the fog has burned off a little bit as we get set to race in one more lap we have a lot of in-car cameras that will be working today Jimmy Hensley will carry one of the number four car assigned to that car up [Music] here's Mark Martin who as Ned indicated will be way back in the field for the start we'll be watching him and his telemetry throughout the afternoon there is Jeff bodean who will also carry one of the in-car camera sponsored by

the two championship contenders that we will determine a champion in about four hours time Dale Earnhardt or Rusty Wallace they start side-by-side the pace car is off of the track the field comes down

Chevrolet team we told push spread national [Music] the 3401 [Music] to watch this team what upset their rhythm what and John that 41 not for Neil Bonnett but for Dale Earnhardt has the spring two shots it has Earnhardt Center that's why by the the car is sort of exactly how [Music] move to 11 now he challenges brett bodine for tenth position Rusty Wallace is back in 20th where he began this race and there's the leaders there's Ernie Irvan who's fought his way up to third spot already Ted Musgrave with a great run in the car number 55 challenging urban down on the inside trying to take over third busy his past must read the letter format must read gun they are wheel the wheel and [Music] Spitzer right behind them [Music] Spencer now trying to becomes the battle for [Music] after him sip about the second groove here moving up there now for the event in races here they are yesterday witches but still they were little concern about getting up in that second group but now Jimmy Spencer he drove her out on up there [Music] let's hope it isn't that way today here is Wallace [Music] look his back down the back of jet photons or Laura and Rusty Wallace [Music] [Music] [Music] the positions and math second [Music] trying to take the position away from geoff bodine at the end of the backstretch he's got a just by the jet boat on it [Music] rusty making another pass makes it look easy moves on the - jimmy hensley in the kodak car [Music] another question I've been taking her these are there for a little bit bullet are cut strung out a little bit got the feel of the car and [Music] all right here's Jerry punch [Music] [Music] the entire left side sheetmetal but this is the same car belay the way it's the same car he smashed it always the car that what a great job computed in fiction is a Rusty Wallace has moved the potential champion 493 day owner [Music] I'm from it can to be harried and the lead [Music] the Jets and brothers must be divided mrs. wheeljack's Carl Eden and Richard [Music] fourth position bill elegant beginning to show the muscle here defending champion on this event [Music] we've been green all the way for the first 15 laps [Music] so heart has lost a position after picking off several it's Rick mast Ernie Jimmy Spencer in the top five come out of - there he is going down the backstretch handsome Harry [Music] live coverage from Atlanta Motor Speedway in [Music] arrogant leads the Hooters 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway after nineteen of 328 laps second place belongs to Rick mast there's Rick [Music] Oh crash up in turn three four it was right in front of Rusty Wallace Brett Bodine is involved in so trying to keep the car rolling the racetrack has made it to the apron is stopped it's hurt that right rear tires nuts jam back the it's supposed to have an equidistant opening between the front and the rear let's see what happened it happened just ahead of rusty he's coming up as Bobby Hillin tries to go on the inside of Brett Bodine and they touch and boy rusty really has to get on the band binders cuts it down to the inside of the racetrack and dodges disaster there tough break for brett bodine and Bobby hill oh yeah for the second year in a row a tough break for Brett Bodine who was wiped out in the crash on the second lap last year and now this what Rusty Wallace just goes down on the apron and the 90 and 26 both they can't be contact with [Music] except the two and Brandt Green he appears to be okay but obviously very disappointed that these cars can't be repaired and get back in the race this is working today learn hearts favor the more cars that fall out of the race it's going to fit him that much closer to locking up the championship he needs to finish 34th or better and 42 cars began this race we are under caution for the first time this afternoon on lap number 21 and if Rusty Wallace does not lead the most laps does not win the race then that moves Earnhardt up to about the 37 38 spot they'd have to finish and already if these two cars stay out that's three cars that are falling out so the worst he can finish right now would be 39 so it's working in his favor yes pit stops are going to be happening here as the field flanks off from the pace car just about everybody it seems is going to be coming in for a stop you say everybody Rick Carelli is not going to convince because he's a lap down he can command leaks and Dale Jarrett is not he's probably gonna stay out there and legal and if you have to go probably the next time around yes he will do that just to leave a laughing back Flint missed and on the top rusty in the middle and timing each of their pit stops as the crews work on the respective cars the left side of Harry Gant and Rusty Wallace and now dan is rolling in 19 - rusty took a second less and Earnhardt just slightly slower than Rusty Wallace but good pit stops for all three no see [Music] second Ricky Rudd is there Jeff Gordon fourth rig Maspeth Jimmy Spencer six Morgan Shepherd seventh Herman Bernard is going to come out night Rusty Wallace 10 so that proof picked up a great deal of time off pit road the militating graph on it and the rescue crew is at brett bodine scar the rollback is there and they're going to have to put it on the flatbed to get it away here's Jerry punch with a report on Ernie Irvan well one of the reasons they were dropping back is before the caution came out as the car had gotten very very loosest suddenly the car just jumped loose the car started the first few laps just fine according to Ernie but got very difficult to handle in the corners they were hoping and praying for an early yellow and they got their wish they came down pit road Larry McReynolds the crew tighten the car up that's what caused him an extra 4 or 5 seconds in the pit stop and put him back toward the back of the top ten or else they might have been out in the top five so Ernie Urban makes the pit stop and rejoins the race but we are under caution because of an accident involving Brett Bodine and Bobby Hillin in the Hooters five-bedroom we'll be right back [Music] our eye in the sky today is the bud one airship with camera operator Jorge shafts ma hovering about a thousand feet over the racetrack this ambassador is powered by 24 ssin 930 engines piloted by captain's Tony Stevenson and Bill Clark and you can see there's a little bit of break in the clouds now as looks like the Sun may be out soon well here's a look at Lake speed as he under caution and sort of relaxing a little bit cleanup continues over the third and fourth turns and now Dale Jarrett has come in and one thing they stayed out there for two reasons Bob one is to leave a lap to get five bonus points trying to stay in fourth place in Winston Cup points Tammy they needed to take a rubber out of the right front spring wreath put one in I'm not sure which they were doing they knew it was going to take him a long time to do that it's going to go to the back anyway so pretty good strategy on Jimmy make ours part there too to do that they got those five bonus points so could help them stay in fourth place in points yep he's in a tight battle with Morgan Shepherd Kyle penny is right there also but Dale Jarrett rolls back into competition there is Bernhardt and is just behind him they will be nose to tail where the green fly comes out to resume this event in just a few moments 24 laps have been completed the top five Harry Gant Bill Elliott Ricky Rudd Jeff Gordon and Rick mast back at Atlanta Motor Speedway of the Hooters 500 ESPN Speed World live coverage of the final Winston Cup race of 93 and the green flag comes out to resume competition [Music] about all race long married name [Music] we just got the [Music] and over there my card may push it real bad [Music] next thing I know I turn around back [Music] Jeff Kota now Jeff Bodine is involved in a crash along with predator and Spencer and back father in the pack Jimmy Horton has spun down to the inside boy it has been a tough weekend for the Bodines Jeff crashed yesterday now he's involved in a crash today Todd was injured yesterday brett has crashed today and boy oh boy it looks like that Jeff is gonna unstrap himself and get out of the car under his own power he's disconnecting his radio right now Schrader is going to drive away and so will Spencer and Jimmy Hornets also moving so it appears as if the only car that will suffer perhaps terminal damages geoff bodine here is the replay Rusty Wallace is under the 12 car of Jimmy Spencer Anna Jimmy gets it's a little bit high gets the car out of shape loses control comes around right in front of these guys there's nothing that quick before Jim put on there's nothing he can do Michael Waltrip was blessed to get to that hole before he closed now as he come back across trickle does a great job he's kind of slow slow and and wait until the hole opens up to go through it as this Jimmy Hensley in all the country the other guy Jeff Bodine has got to be reconsidering his decision to be a car owner this is the fourth crash in the last seven races he has had as owner of this team he's doing that Doubront yeah ridin along wasn't his fault now watch spencer slide up the racetrack and hit the wall this is from our speed shot right at the start/finish line there were a lot of drivers that were very heads up there getting their cars slowed down there so they could get them under control Jeff's walking away he'll make the mandatory visit to the infield care center just to check him over but he appears to be in fine shape well another tough break for him another good break for Dale aren't hard as these cars go to the garage and now from the in-car camera watch and listen [Music] [Music] I don't think you could do a living nightmare at least for me it is I can't imagine being involved in one of those crashes similar situation to Davey Allison last year just nowhere to go nothing you could do about it he was just a victim of circumstance in depend again the outside wall just about where Navy was pinned last year by Ernie Irvan [Music] Bodines again with a tough weekend the most injured of the three Todd Bodine and gin doctor punch as an update doctor we all saw Todd yesterday hit the wall a ton of it turns three and four he was taken to Georgia Baptist Hospital Lana where he spent tonight his injuries he has a sir involving the outside of his hand what they call a fifth metacarpal of bone leading up to his little finger in the outside of his hand we thought he may have a broken shoulder that x-ray was negative his shoulder is okay severe bruises there they did a computerized scan of his chest and his head he does have a mild concussion and was admitted there last night now we are told by the crew in somewhat jokingly fashion that he was going to be here today they said Todd told us if he has to find a nurse's uniform and sneak out of the hospital he's coming to the racetrack he was feeling that good this morning that certainly is good news for the youngest of the Bodine brothers yep but again a tough weekend for all three of the racing Bodine brothers and so the Family Channel Ford is badly badly damaged at least in the front end and apparently will be unable to continue yesterday however the Family Channel unveiled its new colors for 1994 Jack Roush there on the left along with the new driver Ted Musgrave and this is what his car will look like not at all very pretty number 16 and folks we will update you throughout the day on what's going to happen to or what we thinks going to happen to most of the guards here today John Kernan is with Kenny Schrader who was also involved in that incident well kidding it's been a tough weekend for you guys on the first lap of qualifying on Friday and now this car is a torn up pretty good what happened rusty adjust past Spencer and Alice black on his left rear and Jimmy just got loose I mean you know they just took our just started coming around for him it took a long slide most time they'll slide up and go across you know but he just kept that same black pattern and we got into him then they start piling up behind us you know there's just nothing that anybody can do when it happens in that at that point Jimmy just got loose in them there you're long you know you turn right and try to save it but you're you're not gonna get it gather back up what about your professional Pitts opinion here you guys gonna be able to get this car back out it lets beat up pretty good well I imagine we're gonna get back out here we'll kind of kind of evaluate what we got we can't gain anything in points and that's the one spot we can lose this already hurt us so I'll just have to see well on the early end to kenny schrader and obviously you can hear it in his voice just very disappointed about it's been a tough weekend for these guys sure has ken Schrader was eighth in the point standings going into this final race of the year we are Atlanta Motor Speedway and this is how it looked from the perspective of Jimmy Hensley [Music] ESPN's speed world is very happy to present a tremendous weekend of racing here at Atlanta Motor Speedway Triple A championship weekend ARCA Busch Grand National and today the NASCAR Winston Cup title will be decided John Kernan is with Geoff Bodine well Jeff it's it would be an understatement to say that this weekend has been particularly truck on the tough on the bow dine family uh you look to be okay though are you yeah I'm okay Bret's okay my mother and father back home I know they're going crazy tides okay they're keeping him looking at him a little bit more but each find that Barry they're back home watching I'm fine you know Kathy not we don't know what's happened in here things started out so good when we bought this team we won the the serious point race in the 15 car and really thought this was going to work out just fine it will eventually but boy this has been tough here lately we appreciate what the Family Channel has done for us since we've taken the team over they really helped us well wish we could have run better and won some races for them but we're still looking for a sponsor for next year we're not giving up we don't have one but we're still in business all those rumors about we're closing the doors we're not closing the doors even after a weekend like this we love this for it we're in it for keeps so this is racing I guess but boy it's been hard here lately sure has and hopefully something will develop for them so we can see him with that car painted up with a full sponsorship at Daytona in February at Jimmy Spencer also involved let's go to dr. Jerry punch and he still sits in the pits here John the car looks a lot worse than it actually is the sheet metal has been up quite badly on the car they pulled some of it away and will affect the air the damage to the machine also the Tony has been and apparently Jimmy Spencer hit him got loads to came out buzzer beeping and turn out of turn four and by the way those of you who are superstitious Jimmy Spencer started to in each pocket the pick good luck and obviously it while we have a break here in the action as the cleanup continues we will tell you about tonight's football game we hope

[Music] cars down the race two stars started [Music] I would think is Dale [Music] I agree with you [Music] Thank You dance see Spencer has Donnell lap down Merrigan just amazed [Music] [Music] much wave track between [Music] now but only three times has the winner the pole position the most recent time was Rusty Wallace in 1988 hooters 500 from atlanta motor speed by arrogant in the [Music] one hundred twenty nine point eight one force [Music] he missed it and [Music] close the throttle [Music] yeah he's closing in in a hurry right now now they've been out there while all these well as hard as he has been running that the hires are just going away here [Music] and yeah as soon as he gets in the quarter just go Jerry punch what's the problem here again many of you guys are exactly right Harry thinks he has a right rear tire possibly going to [Music] they're watching him there only about four or five [Music] 1087 they're gonna try to watch [Music] [Music] but Rusty Wallace seized this opportunity to get up there and lead at least a laugh he needs to get up and lead a lamp hard I'm trying to get a fair grew bright now brother wallet just about a second [Music] I just wish that everybody watches today rusting oxygen [Music] to leave every left he'll can't leading this lap into turn one rusty has it [Music] to be credited with leaving a lamp that was the first thing that he had to accomplish today 121 points by [Music] and we see pit stops happening John Kernan and Mark Martin fit as rusty does lead allow [Music] we signed it up with a couple rounds you answer that right rear left members were missing as a consolation as Mark Martin raised the [Music] fifty three-year-old Harrigan trying to pick up his first man and I gets better [Music] down here Finnick what [Music] [Music] on the straightaway [Music] near the exit Carrie had an 18.9 second pit stop but is it going to hurt him yes it will give a lap down to the brush see Wallace he comes off the corner there was some contact between it no he just loses control as he comes off the corner right in front of Mark Martin goes down almost saves a carton in yes he did almost saved it but then it just went around again the back end gets down next to the inside retaining wall to Mark Martin had just made that pit stop he was coming up to get himself back in the lead lap and there's Gantt going out of the pits the leader had already gone by so he's going to be a lap down here's another angle were focused in on rusty behind him Ernie in trouble maybe Mark Martin coming up that quickly behind him I have taken a little air off the spoiler as it came off of that turn caused it to get it was probably already loose with the worn tires he had on but it probably made him looser yep well it happened in just about the same area of the racetrack that he crashed in last year in a different car the caution is out on lap number 85 it's our third caution of the day and he's trying to drive the car back to the pit area but you can see the sparks coming from underneath a lot of stuff off that car trying to get it back Rusty Wallace [Music] right in front of you we're have a lot of metal and here comes the leaders down pit road ricky rudd Morgan Shepherd Dale Earnhardt is coming in so is Rick mast and others including Elliott trickle must pray let's go to Jerry punch [Music] okay we're going to show you three pit stops two three and twenty one like and forth [Music] all three of the car collector [Music] upstairs the Benny Parsons travel on the right rear Earnhardt's car they've mentioned for another Aries to pilot they get another wrench over there they now changing the right rear tires those other two cars are bleeding we'll land had a problem of the soccer something on the right rear and they're still working on the car there on the left side but this is a very long pit stop compared to the others rusty had a 20-point three-second stop in Morgan 23.2 it was a thirty four point one quarter higher [Music] there was some trouble in Darrell Walker spits I don't know one of their crewmen I don't know if he was hanging on to the gas can or what because he went down 10th Road he was about 3 or 4 pits down from where Daryl pitted and he was rolled out but he's walking back to the pit so apparently he's okay and Ernie Irvan is in the pits and they're trying to get that car back in order so can continue to race a lot of damage on the right rear of the Havilland port it looked like Billy Hodges knit on the 17 car got hung on the car something they drug him dump it yeah it did they drugged him about six hits down through there but he got up brushed his pants off and went on back to his pits ready to go to work again Ernie Irvan is away and here's John well with Billy Hodges and Billy's trying to catch his breath right now I guess Billy he's okay look at that it's taken about the racecars okay to talk to you right now Billy you all right yeah I'm just trying to put like a little bite out of the car I got the ratchet in there got it hung and couldn't get it out tried to hold on to it to the last minute get it up and I couldn't we had to come back here football players picked up these guys they don't they don't even have the equipment look down here on his pants tore his pants up guess he's okay though Billy looks are I just happened to look down and saw him rolling down pit road either man that has to hurt what's the top of the screen here and you will be able to see it possibly way way up at the top let's see yes it's the very top here's Morgan Shepherd coming out here comes Darrel out yeah yeah yes hanging on the back he's hanging on the car finally Falls oh my gosh he took a tumble look at that no mad man thank goodness he is okay here's Jerry again minute ago you saw problems with Dale Earnhardt's car now it was a very simple profit it cost him some time fortunately it was under the caution flag this is the air impact range they used for the right rear tire that will Lynn was trying to use apparently a lug nut got hung up inside and then you shook it took it cooking the lug nut out so rather than trying to pry it out absolute decided to go ahead and change to a different air gun the pit stops are complete we are under caution here at Atlanta Motor Speedway the day is running and a possible championship to be settled after this just about to go back to racing green flag competition there's the fit summary showing you that rust came out second rut came out in the lead Shepherd then mark there and here's Harrigan he was at the tail the lead lap that Mark Martin also was a lap down [Music] is charging look at him doing time trying to take over the lead week [Music] [Applause] mark mark back on the car has not been mr. what I'm personally expected it to be he was running about the middle of the pack before he made that pit stop got a left [Music] erasing back here [Music] inside the blood money and death court behind those guys [Music] right like that [Music] the leader [Music] [Music] that's from bud one airship hovering high above Lanta Motor Speedway bringing you the aerial shots these guys have done the oven duty the last three days they've been with us for the ARCA race the grand national and now the Winston Cup finale grunts order gingerly Starlin Jarett got sideways up okay to sum all there kept to Africa [Music] for niels harrit with that [Music] he is trying to move up in the points came into this event [Music] [Music] position and Earnhardt takes a spot away from Ted [Music] in the last us before the [Music] brothers jeff has crashed out [Music] [Music] [Music] challenges them into territory one we have to clean that [Music] trying to take that spot away from her [Music] ernhardt make his move around [Music] Morgan takes third [Music] Shepard [Music] 22 stars he won this [Music] nineteen [Music] or now seems to have picked six [Music] Rick mast robot mark [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] rolls around the garage area that Jill negative at 41 car they [Music] [Music] average speed of the race 8:35 [Music] big pop up smoke from brick mask indicates trouble he got up and scraped the wall up and we didn't it was a mere [Music] here's a replay maybe we can see how close he did come there he is right in front of Ricky Rudd he blows just as he goes into turn three and wisely goes up against the wall and he does a great job nothing he really does he was running in third place another tough break for Rick mast he's had some awfully good runs this year but when he does have those good run some or caution comes out on lap 1 206 Rick mast rather debris on the racetrack mark was able to get their lap back [Music] Cara's sporting its new colors and let's go down to Jerry punch the Miller Genuine Draft team the Pontiac team possibly the last time you may see a Pontiac in this pizza and they may change for 1994 Rusty Wallace bringing the car down he'll open at some house [Music] and the three-car one in the [Music] trouble once again on the left we do [Music] in position something Nestle desert up on the 28 cars Larry McReynolds at three go to work on in it back and chips or anything context the win this afternoon will be contesting uh staying in points where he is yeah yeah he's seventh and points coming in and not too far behind Kyle Petty and not too far ahead of ken Schrader who is eight we'll take another break were under caution here at Atlanta ESP and speed world of the Hooters 500 is being brought to you by Ford and your Ford dealer have you driven a Ford lately by smooth push beer and easy drinkin bush light push the official beer of NASCAR and by Napa we keep America running like speed relaxing once again under caution here in Atlanta is another for driver Morgan Shepherd is also taking a breather here from brick mass flown engine we invite you to stay with us at the end of our race because right after we conclude this event lab especial shoptalk featuring Davey Allison and then the entire Speed World team will be back here at five o'clock Eastern time with speed week that's at five o'clock Eastern d like gold I do that stuff with baby Elsa pretty today Jay Austin there is a lake speed that's what the 15 quality care car is going to look like next year if they brought out the new colors in the last race here of 93 but that's what the car will look like [Music] well it was a real good pit stop for Kyle Petty Ned yeah he was running about 13th bub and now is in sixth position so they really got him out in great shape rusty in first out first Morgan stay the same run [Music] that wealth and petit 13 to 6 and John Kernan is with Rick mast guys talking about a new look on a car you see some red blue trim on Rick bass skull or that's gonna be the new look the new uniform for next year and you were wondering if you quite possibly and hit the wall you said he came about as close you could got a scratch on the side of the Rick not much left inside the engine is there I've never been so glad to get a season over with and all my life we run good every race with four or five races this year and had a problem you know we've lost something other hood today but each wake is something differ from one in the bumper to the fall from the every week so what's happening the good part about it you know we're running about everywhere we go to the course we've had to do the running the car feels super today you know down at the end but I'd have been offender what for some words and all that generously we get him next year that's what you say you don't say next week now you say next year maybe they got rid of all that bad luck this year now let's go to Jerry punches on pit road with the report on Ernie Irvan exactly Ernie's been on and off pit road a couple of times she awning a problem that when he hit the wall the front pit while they broke the sway bar one of the lower sway bar arms you hear him behind me they're discussing what they gonna do there brother Ernie in a couple of times this is part of the bracket that snapped off it holds a sway bar in place they are brought him back in they put a new sway bar in there trying that one by one put these brackets back in position they're gonna bring him back in set the sway bar and then hopefully change tires and give him a chance to go back out and get a good finish if he can't here at Atlanta this afternoon so they're still waiting for Ernie to come back in he should make it if you're on the pit road here momentarily the field is over in turns three and four Ernie is at the back of the line in turn number three good crowd on hand worth NASCAR Winston Cup season [Music] back at Atlanta from overhead you'll notice the cars are on the wrong side of the wall here on the main straightaway the field is being brought down pit road behind the pace car because it has been determined that someone is leaking oil and so all the NASCAR inspectors move out to the yellow line there to look carefully to see if they can find out who it is that's leaking man this ain't private Rockingham they said the to true is bought into the that's gotta be earn are gotta be hard to figure that I saw one officials talking to the 25 crew [Music] I might've just been discussing the weather which is still overcast just do yeah yeah Wednesday [Music] looking at his car as they go by [Music] now once again we welcome the bud one airship to Atlanta Motor Speedway as they help our coverage here today George shafts ma is the camera operator hovering above the racetrack we thought maybe at one time today wouldn't be able to get into the air because of the low ceiling that we had here but the fog has burned off partly cloudy skies overhead mostly cloudy actually and not a bad day for racing Ernie Irvan is back on pit road so they must to fix this wave our problem the jury punch explained and now they are changing the tires this will allow us to do another field summary for those of you who have switched over during what we probably believe is half time of your favorite football game you may want to stay with us this is not bad at all you can see that Rusty Wallace is leading this race and he is in contention for the NASCAR Winston Cup championship bill [Music] eleventh position on the lead lap [Music] the signals being given for one more lap we'll go back to green as you see when we get down to here now rig matches out and with these other cars Schrader's still on the racetrack Orton's out there's six cars now out of the race that means the worst an urn art could do would be 36 if he had a problem right now if a couple more cars and he can turn all those horses loose here to try to get to the front go for it to win the championship and the race now hear it here's the breakdown Baio clinches if rusty wins and Dale finishes in 34th position and so on down the line but rusty has to lead the most laps and win the race so and the way that's happening right now I think he's probably gonna lead the most let's go these car is good well after harry gintz sort of slow down a little bit Gantt to lap down the yellow is back out again here now so it's gonna be at least one more lap before we go back to green as pack Rusty Wallace has 27 laps right now and we have [Music] back with more live coverage from Atlanta in a moment [Music] back in Atlanta Motor Speedway here's what happens a solid-steel when you drag it beneath the racecar and 170 miles an hour this is what's left of the sway bar arm that came off the car number 28 of Ernie Irvan absolutely ground away part of the bolt ground away and half the steel shaft is gone but they've repaired the car and he's back out as we're getting ready to go green Bob we are ready to go green the field comes out of corner number four and the green is out Morgan Shepherd Jeff Gordon and Dick Trickle are in the top five lap 115 is on which we resume kept Mark Martin [Music] dispenser back in the [Music] his printer has been out there ready Musgrave and Daryl Walter [Music] he had about a second latest month ago he jumped out to a big lead and Shepard is running down in a hurry of the Citgo forward [Music] in addition to the collider championship we settle the man de Ford and Chevy knows the tail doing it I think [Music] because rusty commander [Music] to run first or second and McCarroll I will win [Music] last year [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in the mesentery Congress [Music] the real appeal I guess you saw the river I came to drivers [Music] [Music] [Music] they're battling with cow [Music] all three of them are still in the race get himself a full time Winston Cup ride [Music] these guys they're not have to echo [Music] [Music] the lead Morgan Shepherd still dog in that to car Wallace [Music] [Music] really made some adjustments on the city [Music] the importer in the battle for the menu his second as Shepard takes the lead [Music] around Motor Speedway has been a good prep before it over the years with a good track for Morgan Shepherd whoo assumes command at the [Music] is coming in that 93 NASCAR a great Christmas gift has gone back into the lead and the 41 car of Dick Trickle which had been falling lately we had a power cord a person the website as well [Music] they think it was we had backed out of the wall the left and then [Music] away in the Manheim option car until the drivers begin a vibration don't guess come down pit row does exactly what he did that's good smart thinking because normally this vibration don't go away [Music] first and second as Morgan one theory assumed command leaderboard [Music] Bobby talk about Morgan Shepherd I seem to be dropped [Music] [Music] but it seems to be working pretty well for it [Music] we see the light [Music] when a race this year apparently the top 10 in points he's 14 going into this race and he always of course for of interest and a lot of you with that we will televise again this year but he will not be on stage this year and we do here's Jeff Gordon to raise the third a bit of corn I would think is the closer that Dale gets to that number 34 finishing position or at least [Music] they pushed into the garage area few moments ago regular alley and the total [Music] be completed 50 more points on the super speedways [Music] [Music] thank you very bad boy when at Sears Point but it was not a good race for him [Music] three less victories and rusty Dale has led more races 5:17 to Rusty's 18 20 top 10 and there was another important that is team yeah [Music] rusty is the leader as he [Music] 4:28 [Music] Rusty Wallace [Music] and a liver transplant [Music] the Busch grand national [Music] and he wanted us to say a big hello [Music] she's back in the hot got one too you know Steve Grissom for Scrat national championship this year I believe he's already left to go be with her so we wish her the [Music] while we're on that type of subject you talk statement Smith wasn't he here [Music] we talked a little bit any [Music] [Music] his way marching forward oh Christ any turn one [Music] [Music] [Music] out of the race or so it would appear as TW Taylor's car is bad he's moving around in the car taking his helmet off now so it's a good sign both the way I figured has eight cars out the road I gets it down to 30 for them are you that vino RMI for our we either one gotta say cars we've been courting to our calculations he has no reason to fix the car to get back in race because TW not running from launch or anything else and if that is the case then Dale Earnhardt has play the title I'm not sure that we want to say that right now but he gets closer and closer every moment TW Taylor from Petersburg Virginia is out of the race car and walking around assessing the damage and appears to be okay you can't say that for the race car because especially the rear part of it is very very badly damaged shaking hands with somebody meanwhile Pitzer open and here color cars come down pit road rusty Morgan Jeff Dale bill Ricky Jarett here's Jerry the newly left will beginning wonder if you want the three bits up there [Music] away [Music] we're watching [Music] Morgan Shepherd eighteen point one second pit stop for rusty he was the best the three cars are rolling out including Darrell Waltrip and Mike Wallace John Kernan has a report Bob sure the folks watching at home noticed that no chassis adjustment was made on Morgan chef routes Ford and we told you how the car was running loose they have done that with air pressure what they have done is they backed the pressure down by one pound all the way around [Music] we are under caution here at Atlanta Motor Speedway because of an accident had turned number one involving TW Taylor back [Music] Trackbacks are brought to you by new advanced high-tech formula Quaker State motor oil that's formulated for today's high-tech engines in Winston Cup racing safety comes first that is led to a change in the design of the steering column here at Quaker State racing Bret if you would share with us why the last race of the season in 92 I was involved in a pretty serious accident in Atlanta so staying knee injury due to that accident the reason for that was the way the steering column was mounted this flat plate with adjusting slot even though it was heavily padded my knee came and contacted with it cut it open injured it bruised it pretty severely we've decided to reevaluate the situation come up with a new idea so for 1993 this is what the steering column looks like and many of the Winston Cup cars obviously much more streamlined still has the adjusting holes up here but you don't have those wide sharp flanges where you can cut a need upon the impact and Bret something it isn't new but also gives the drivers a comfort level at least to failsafe mechanisms here this hinged area at the firewall to help absorb impact and even further down this collapsible rod which will help absorb the impact within the column for those unexpected head-on collisions I tell you what that telescope we think is pretty nice because when they Jim if the [Music] his steering wheel as the TW Taylor car is on the flatbed headed for the garage area that's the reason for and Jerry punch can tell us about a new program involving records on the highway car Jerry it's a brand new program in fact I'm with Brian France a vice president of marketing for NASCAR and Brian we've seen records at racetracks and now you guys are gonna do the same thing on the highway but we're gonna do it we're gonna do it better than anybody else because who better to bring your roadside assistance in NASCAR you know whether it's towing whether your car just breaks down you lock yourself out of the car whatever your problem is it's great peace of mind to have the NASCAR advantage roadside assistance no question about it how do people get involved with this how do they join well they call one eight hundred eight six two seventy nine hundred right now it's fifty four ninety five for an annual membership and that covers your white as well why spouse or whatever whatever car you're in you can use the service you know the use of service just one time it pays for itself so it's tremendous peace of mind well what what call anywhere in America actually anywhere in Canada as well we'll find a towing vehicle in 30 minutes or less we'll have it out there that's our commitment and the only difference is as guys when you fall out of the car on the highway we're like an interview on ESPN here at the racetrack we'll do it but there we won't but just you get some good service anyway it's a good program guys all right thank you brother Brian and Jerry and let's go to John Kernan well Jerry I guess in a car Bob the car that could use that new survive as far as Lloyd aliens the twice our money for screaming are going to work on it I think you bitching about him getting a tire on pit road dragging it around well apparently is punctured the radiator and they've had to tape behind it now the truth is working very very furiously let's look into it too [Music] [Music] the 93 NASCAR Winston Cup season from Atlanta [Music] after 146 of 328 laps there are the top five Wallace Gordon Elliott Shepard and Earnhardt just about to go green once again TW Taylor's car has been taken off of the racetrack and everything is cleaned out in turns one and two and so we can go back to competition very large say that's pretty the truth here let them fight then ask for them okay rises to its feet as the field [Music] gets the green flag one once again rest against a good job number by championship to Bill Elliott twenty-four point and there is Italian and earn our [Music] [Applause] [Music] underneath Morgan Shepherd now look at them [Music] [Music] points for leading the most laps a little bit to go yet Harry Gant [Music] da car of brakes axis slowing flat tire on that car [Music] [Music] [Applause] yes he's gonna get [Music] we indicated will warden lie [Music] the top finisher in eighth and Kenny Wallace and 6 so that much Carol did as certainly [Music] before long side of rusty the line Jeff [Music] trying to get the top team in the in the West Airport standings he was 13 coming here boom and [Music] a red cap Phoenix meanwhile run behind his guys's hair again Romero he was at the beginning [Music] he raised his gun [Music] [Music] right behind him Shepard begins to close in on [Music] I went back on the racetrack [Music] [Music] [Music] second here in Delhi that party activated [Music] [Music] in this incarnation [Music] [Music] obviously made beer planters and nut I'd love to see some movement from the inside of that machine well it brings out another caution I know that's not the way that Wally Dallenbach wanted to end his reign with the there you see it yeah just bends around and hits hit on into the wall car just suddenly darted right and head on into the wall what happened he got the car out when he came back called in rent yeah well there is yeah good all the winter nets down and they saw an argument last race 17 stomach for which [Music] you know we know that the 43 is going to Richards Busch grand national car and I heard some speculation down in the garage area today that there were going to go to 43 in the Winston Cup car have you guys heard that well we'll see don't take it to the back pitstops Jeff Morgan Shepherd and others coming servus once again during this John Kernan [Music] last time right sighs Margaret on and he was rusty and no one was happier he doesn't talk come on back down hardest one a Morgan Shepherd middle [Music] we'll get it to the corner or pressure cookers on and now I'm sure he's a lot more [Music] with another car out of the race I think we can very safely say now that they learn heart has clinched the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup championship that rusty now can rinse the title front Dale because so many cars have crashed out so now it becomes a situation where they could break because the the points are pretty much cut dried at least these first two [Music] we now see a Earnhardt we'll be back with more from Atlanta Motor Speedway in just a moment the [Music] cleanup continues in turn number two the accident involving Wally Dallenbach jr. we welcome you back to ESP and speed world coverage of the Hooters 500 from Atlanta Motor Speedway now we find that there are nine cars officially out of the race and that switches the championship for Dale Jerry and they're talking here the folks of r.j. Reynolds ending by an RC they say there are nine cars out in there and they're wanting to proclaim you the national champion for 1993 that would be great but you know you know I don't want to do it before I know it's official then it now does they'll understand that there are nine cars out and then he could probably if you want to now let's cut it loose down he knows it's getting close we hadn't told him anything yet awfully well though for being conservative quote-unquote yeah he says he just been driving a car real careful well they have given him a thumbs up and apparently I'm told they are gonna unfurl a better which is going to make your crew very very happy that's right take a look guys official here it is the pits the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion for the 6th time is Dale Earnhardt and there's a big round of applause um all the people standing around here watching that Goodwrench every and now with the tokens are going to go over and clap on the walls we watch Richard Childers he is going to tell his driver that he has been officially crowned the national champion and next time when Dale comes by they're gonna hope his sign up so he could see it and realize what he has done and then he can cut it loose and try to win the finale here in Atlanta now the field is over on the backstretch it's going to be a while before he comes around here but the celebration is beginning and I'm sure it's a celebration that's going to continue well into the night and then all be capped off with the NASCAR Winston Cup banquet at the Waldorf Astoria and first weekend in December and will of course have live coverage is in turn number three now now one of the early orders of business for him after he leaves the Atlanta Motor Speedway he had Neill fighter going hunting that's right bonnet told us that yesterday here comes Dale [Music] Cinco for what more lap to go we'll be back to green look this way [Music] Jerry what was the respond always the competitors and take it all home for Chevrolet just had a feeling that would be attitude well let's see if he does have something left in that Goodwrench Chevrolet the good race cars out there Rusty Wallace Jeff Gordon Harry Gant Bobby Labonte is at the front of the field right now and will be the leader as we go back to green Phil Parsons running in second position Jimmy Eliot and Jeff Gordon Pibb they're against best opportunity to get the [Music] because I don't think bobby labonte made a pit-stop so he doesn't have all fresh tires let's go back to mr. John Kernan so guys I'm down here waiting for Walid all that come out of the infield they'll do who helps me out down there she'll only jim breuer told it they did a four-tire change to work in a double check to make sure that was [Music] 1/64 the what he could do in the maybe the next because he really got off the turn to get slowed down on the inside about [Music] opportunities you said when you got a car up there that doesn't [Music] and there is roughly in the mix too [Music] [Music] [Music] ninety-three thousand net [Music] take over second place to fill cars first down today [Music] with Wally Dallenbach who crashed why [Music] get everybody [Music] and it got away from me [Music] we heard some speculation about the government to change back you know anything about that the Richards been talking about that [Music] Oh day one I really appreciate everything [Music] they told him guys I don't know I kind of like the idea of keeping that there before to have to bring it back

back in the answering no way to know what caused the ash to start with because we're on it right at the end I don't he was running in seventh position [Music] Jerry what do you got on Jeff remember a minute ago Ray Evernham told us that they did nothing in the car then put tires on it but jets of the car had gone away and was dog walking basically wiggling up and down the racetrack and Jeff was just fighting the steering wheel to hang on to it all they can survive I don't know is possibly something broken has broken up in the front of the car the car was very unstable on the track and Jeff was simply fighting it and obviously lost well Jeff has had a great year we announced earlier that he has made the McDonald's all-star team that's worth 50 grand he has had seven top fives including two seconds this year but also 11 DNFs and that's what he will have today here's an in-car shot of what happened up in front of Lightspeed [Music] just running by now they're what anybody here's what yes he do I wonder who he was mad at and he walk towards that wrestler up and you could tell he was just mad at somebody wanted to punch him out of those right [Music] and you realign the field again for a restart will make picks up first off Oh doing yeah they have hit read close to probably get Jeff's car out of the way up there to please pay attention why do we have to use keep racing look at the crowd look at the airplanes all around yeah a lot air dry there's helicopters and blimps and all kinds of air vehicles we saw some hot-air balloons go by yeah more there's another airplane well there's an airport just off the fourth turn so that's that kind of they'll learn our 1993 Winston Cup champions and to set up the pit stops here's Jerry and we should expect what would be a routine stops remember Harry Gant screw they finally get to pit now with the leaders because they're back on the lead lap so they were a little bit concerned about their pit stop they have been practicing but Rusty Wallace will bring them down pit road here is a Pontiac [Music] [Music] down and away great pit stop for Rusty Wallace less than 17 seconds there is [Music] they're pit stops Harry can't [Music] have completed their pit stops and now we will take a break as the field realigns for resumption of the racing [Music] speed world coverage this weekend with triple championship weekend it's been a great weekend we determine the ARCA Campion on Friday Tim Steele Steve Grissom won the Busch Grand National Championship yesterday and Dale Earnhardt has pledged the title here this afternoon the sellout crowd has remain here despite the fact that bail has won the championship because the race winner is very much in question we've talked about throughout the broadcast changes for 1994 let's move through these quickly afford maybe for Rusty Wallace Sterling Marlin goes to the for Karla Bobby and Kellogg's number five and crew chief yet on the sixth car don't have a sponsor on Jeff bodean Skarin Jeff Burton he here moves to number eight all right the second number nine car does not have a sponsor talk to her Ricky Rudd is going to drought number 10 with tides' and sponsor 11 bill Elliot's going to be there make sure with Budweiser 12 driver or sponsor number 14 John Andrade is going to drive the car they don't have a sponsor 15 quality care for it with lake speed you can't erase the question mark there from the beside Vallely because he confirmed earlier that he's with junior he did confirm that on Friday force Ted Musgrave will go to the Family Channel car Jack Roush the number 16 Barry dachshund Oh is he going to make a move next year from the Darrell Waltrip team and a Pontiac in the future for the car number 22 19 element yeah you can erase that question mark - because they definitely did announce today that we're going to Pontiac Strickland was smoking Joe Spitzer in the 27 and Ernie Irvan stays with the 28 all right the 29 that is a new team Steve Gris was going to be owned by the Bechtel team here in Kerala Bechdel Ward Burton number 31 with Hardee's 37 Rick Carelli total petroleum 40 looking for a sponsor 41 looking for a driver and a sponsor and I'm hearing that Joe Nemechek would be in that car possibly yeah that's a sponsor here's the rest of them look them over quickly Fingerhut to the 98 will Buddy Baker drive the 20 car yes he will okay six times next year and a 55 car has a sponsor we'll announce it early December okay meanwhile we go back to racing as the Green [Music] who is [Music] about they're pissed off the other 17.8 second pit stop that last time good has Jeff Gordon the very disappointed on let's make sure to get the sponsor hat on there so apparently you didn't take too big of a when I record a [Music] I'm just trying to hang on to the next pit stop [Music] [Music] to last year's this very rare I believe he had a tough day there too were that way too much days for Jeff Gordon rusty is the leader but with more second position and and this is for the championship the - while I should go on and win the race thirty-second in support it's generally in the [Music] last year remember with the championship so maybe Lee Morris is sitting in the billowy pit right now see what can I do to help [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Talladega [Music] so Rusty Wallace lead right now but behind him the battle between Eliot and Earnhardt which is in a sense the battle for the manufacturers title the eighth caution of the day is out on lap 209 carry and making contact with the wall in turn four and slight contact with the inside wall here on the straightaway here's how it happened your hair again is and I was looking at here again on commercial and I wonder why it was back there so far I know he made a late pit stop but came off the corner all of a sudden he just went around and smacked that lift wall with the left side Jerry punch well well Benny Harry is not a happy camper I saw Leo Jackson the car owner come walking by here a minute ago shaking his head and he was not very happy either apparently there was a possible problem here he was getting ready to come back down pit road he just made that lap up but they thought they may have left some lug nuts low Z to that we don't really don't want to point the finger than we either that happened or else a wheel was working its way loose - the car was vibrating and dancing so Harry had backed out of the throttle and was getting ready to come back down pit road and unfortunately eaten up about a mile in the wall as Harry does climb out of the car [Music] one here in the finale for 1993 and his farewell season will be to next year in Winston Cup competition let's go back to his final pit stop and maybe we can determine something [Music] comes to a stop wait wait wait what will help wait a minute now the ragout goes around to the right side [Music] and they're tied to the lug nuts on the left front until in herre to go ahead well I think this is after he had made a pit stop it came back in the next time around so apparently they did sense a problem they had cat back in in any case arrogance car is wrecked and it's headed toward the garage area and another car drops out of the race the attrition especially because of accidents quite high here in this final event Rusty Wallace Elliott Earnhardt Rudd and Jarrett are your top five a young Dale earnheardt fan doesn't like the noise he likes the fact that his driver has clinched the championship but he doesn't like to know let's take a look at the top 20 and before we go back to green it's Rusty Wallace leading followed by Bill Elliott Earnhardt is third and Rudd and Dale Jarrett six through ten Waltrip speed Labonte trickle and Musgrave and as you look at the second ten we will take another break during this caution period and resume our coverage in just a moment on the Hooters 500 stay with us [Music] three abreast racing behind the for the last few laps now [Music] [Music] and Jimmy Spencer they're both a lap down [Music] [Music] dolls at the 1990 [Music] at 91 [Music] [Music] reaches almost 200 [Music] most a [Music] we were talking about watch that Bart goes under derrike cope and gets loose and goes up and off for most runs in the side of the Madi car that was a good thing was wiggling big-time [Music] and another caution comes he's going to be able to drive it back to the pits I believe but you can see that and a pretty good say what he bit me better be able to run the rest of the day on the gas he's got in the car because I see he'll put any gas in it I smashed today on a rock where they would better damn to the fuel cell which occurred back in this is the ninth and this is why here's the tail end of the crash and it already backed into the wall slides down the backstretch up against then it straightens itself out and once again no sponsor for thefor t garniture car owned by felix a policy city's gonna race I hope he does Kenny drives it back into the garage area [Music] here's a shot from our speech shot then we can see him loose [Music] it stops yep here's Jerry as a Pontiac no going to work you get all four tires activity on thanks be to the off the Jack now and the rebar that now [Music] [Music] we'll talk to the 17 car [Music] I would rate a 17 now they're looking underneath the Motorcraft mark Lake speed oh there's some oil oh yeah little leakage here Wow look at that look at that is that an oil tank that's in the trunk of the car Jerri crunch what's problem apparently the seal on the rear end is just snapped and it's leaking fluid you see it dripping out beneath the bottom of that motor craft quality care car as they dropped the call to Jack and we started to run take the car out of pit road something snapped and looked beneath the car and Floyd was pouring out from underneath it as they pulled it around behind the wall and we were walking along beside the car here as they had had a trip Lake speed sitting in the car being frustrated to know that it's it's a good run going here he's talking to the crew right now it still has the window that up in the Carla try to get a comment Lake what happened with the car affected the pinion shaft on the you know rear gear broke same thing happened to me Charlotte putting the car down here they're going to try to roll him back out here and get some more work done on the car but a tough break but the bug more crew is they getting ready to try to go back behind the wall and get some work done on the rear end in his own car back in made your in the coca-cola 600 Lake had a tremendous run going there running at the top five [Music] but it's bigger what we'd rather Nelson is an employee of ESPN but he's helping out down there put down some oil dries will be slick he's the jack-of-all-trades sure is well Darryl Waltrip did not stop on this particular caution he stopped last caution and therefore he is the leader and when we go back to green hill lead Bill Elliott Rusty Wallace Ricky Rudd and Dale Earnhardt [Music] Atlanta Motor Speedway located about 20 miles south of Atlanta is the site for the final race of the year the Hooters 500 Dale Earnhardt has already clinched the championship we're about to go back to green after our ninth caution Darrell Waltrip is the leader of the race and this is the first time that he has the lab since Dover in Timber seven years ago the remains here like the back about that right then over than the other saying here comes bill [Music] drugs actually Wow and Rusty Wallace takes the lead [Music] we should forget about it mom [Music] on the right track what you need [Music] [Music] make it three wide in [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the damage he has on the car to go pretty severe damage he a car made some pretty good contact [Music] Reznik triple also a trickle of just about a lap down for caution not long ago he had been on that down for long [Music] we won't replay this turn are going to turn three makes a tree in France rusty backs off Bernard can't get the angle he lost goes in gets the car loose and uses a 68 car as the ricochet okay Greg sex does a great job yeah that car off the wall yep they did make pretty hard contact it's cars in something not quite Ryan right now as Darrell Waltrip stilled in the [Music] and John Kernan is with feedback in the street get back out on the racetrack what did it happen man I don't know you know Cartman pushing [Music] [Music] competitive and I was trying really hard [Music] I hope somebody had come on [Music] next year as we

in birth brilliant Bender's a neo with the dough he hit the doors against the roll bar so he thinks offenders are knocking [Music] door is pushed all the way in against the roll bars in the rut right front fender apparently [Music] as Wallace from Ricky rod [Music] Jimmy Spencer on the right of your screen but he [Music] rice but his right [Music] this laughing was 11 [Music] 2/4 his best finish

totally went away Mike beam told me that we need to get a break and get there to get some fresh tires on the car we have no idea why the car's gone away bill is it a ride and apparently they've gotten the break that they wanted fortunately it says the caution flag but someone else in misfortune very quickly and get some fresh rubber [Music] what's that gonna pit road with John Kernan well I'm back in the garage area with hearing Gann who's been checked over and here he checked out okay but the car is kind of damaged now we had speculated some problems maybe with the left rear tire or something but it was just a bad set of tires yeah just you know we started off with real good one then we've got some badges along the line there you've got lost girl and really from her pissed off but every time we have a good set that change they give back to the caution would come out you know well then you changed our than you you get one good as centaurs into real bad sets so yeah we got it just it

got loose with me we've been tied in the car fall day and I think a lot of other people have been loose and that's really fresh guys did a great job we tighten the car up and the car started really coming around and working a lot better you just got looser and looser and we started to you know wait for another pit spot where we could tighten the car up but we were you know trying to stay ahead of some people and right now we're going through the school of hard knocks I guess that will continue to next year cause I mean talk about a raw rookie on the Winston Cup to it and that's right we're
