Jeff Gordon got his 1st 98 pole today,
For the 500 at Californ - I - A. A.
Long green 'til all ready for pits,
Then 1st caution as debris hits.

Oooh - DJ has a blown engine!
Cars lose it in oil and all tail spin.
Kyle and Bill bump - Bill's in flames!
2nd week in a row he got mamed!

Clean-up starts during the red flag,
Back to green - Martin gets ½ way bag.
Racin' round - then on the wall is Dick,
Cope then spins for a 4th caution quick.

On the restart - 42 slides in grass,
Boy I'll bet that puckered his ass!
After green - a spin by Lajoi,
No caution - his just trashed his toy.

Then lead lappers all took a ride,
As several spin and then they slide.
Rusty dropped a cylinder it made him lame,
So Mark Martin had it easy to Victory Lane.
