Daytona 500 - 2/15/98

On the pole Brothers LaBonte,
At Daytona - 1st racing Sundee'!
As the starter it's Dan Marino,
Honorary thrower of the greeno.

Round 55 all needed green pits,
A few got loose - little wall hits.
At 190+ - no cautions to 1/2 way,
3 and 4 wide - Gordon took the 10K.

More green pits - several spin and tag,
Lot's of sheet metal - now does sag.

For the 1st time the caution flew,
Ward cut a tire - debris did spew!

During pits - Martin dropped a gear,
His day over as he lost his rear.
Mixing it up - it's Pressely and Andretti,
Tore up 77 & the 43 of King Petty.

Again packedtight -all jockey for position,
Tradin' paint during the acquisition.
Yellow & white cross - Earnhart drove by,
He won the Daletona 500 on his 20th try.
