Ernie Irvan had pole for Michigan,
Caution for debris - quick green again.
Tri-oval takes Cope & Sheppard's 91,
Dance partners change - during a long run.

Green pits clean - all need gas
First Chad then DW were the one's to pass.
Photo line shot at the ½ way,
Was it Ernie or DJ???????

Pit crews busy - 4 tires or two,
Going for the position - so many due.
Elliot's day over - his engine blown,
Fast pace pittin' - crews muscles shown!

Ward a smokin' - the yellow flies,
Burton was a hoser and penalized!
Lined up for green - Martin on pace,
2 and 3 wide - not too much space!

Jeff pulled out a rubber - he's on the go,
Martin's rear mirror - full of a rainbow!
3 way battle for second, 6,18 & 88,
As Jeff shoots away - through the victory gate!
