Daytona, FL Pepsi 400 - 10/17/98

Bobby Labonte first cross the line,
Then Jarrett & Earnhart engines whine.
Two by two at the speed on light,
Cool H20 brings 1st caution tonight.

A pack of twelve walk the high wire,
Then major wreck - LePage is on fire.
Green waves - Rusty showing the way,
Then a lead struggle - won by DJ.

At the wall - a little lizard appeared,
Then Cope wore the apron & the wall sheared.
DJ still leads for the Gator Aid dough,
Then taking the lead is the Rainbow.

Pit cycles green - 3 picks up a spare,
Pardus quick spin - 3rd caution in the air.
Winding the engines after the stop,
Rookie Irwin now sits on the top!

4th yellow - more rain in 3 & 4,
Shifting through gears - door to door.
Smoke signals up - got a big one,
Looks like several's day is done.

Some 3 wide - their credit card close,
A shower for all - to a red they coast.
5 lap shoot out - at the Pepsi 4-0-0,
Holding on for checkered - Dupont's Rainbow.
