Nemechek on the pole for Talladegee'
Shooting out front first - is Little E.
Four wide scares as the lead flip flops,
A long green run brings rushed pit stops.

Elliott in the lead - as some go out,
Taking her toll - fastest track in the south!
Under green, teams get serviced again,
Musgrave brings caution - the lucky 3 go in.

Gordon up front as the new green flies,
So close at 190 - hope decisions are wise!
Ward blows a tire - the second caution flew,
Bliss up front - as Pruett blows his the 32.

No caution out - the lead swaps round,
3 lanes of speed - no one giving ground.
Some take the high line, and some stay low,
Then Hamilton and Martin swing to and fro.

Jeff Gordon hit the jackpot with his pit pass,
Teams are busy getting tires and gas.
Doing the 'Dega shuffle - they're 3 by 4,
But no one is lifting from the floor!

Trading paint - they're going 5 wide!
At the line - through smoke they slide!
Finally got the big one on the track,
While taking the checkered - the man in black.
