It's DAYTONA!!! - The 1st race of the year
Everyone anxious to shift their gears!
Got rookie Skinner sittin' up front,
Hope he knows Daytona gets blunt!

Cars were packed nut to butt,
Pressely air 360'ed - now that takes guts!
Then Mr. Excitement spun his Smokin' Joe,
In the pits - the camel bit his jack man low.

Caution out for Grissom and Ken Shrader
Debris on the track stops the force like Darth Vader.
Mark Martin had lead at the 1/2 way,
And NASCAR'S pit mistake made Andretti pay.

Then Sacks 31 and Jeff Burton's ninty-nine
Brought another caution for the fifth time.
Earnhardt then Martin led most of the day,
Then things suddendly went astray!

Earnhardt did flips! - his car looked rough!
But he got back in - cuz' HE'S TOUGH!
One final wreck to make fans scream
At the checkered it was 1, 2, 3, - Hendrix team.
