Bristol, TN -- Food City 500 -- 3/25/01

Mark Martin on pole - quick yellow for Nadue,
Also picked up Herman and Compton's 92.
Back to green - and up the wall goes Pressley,
Barely a lap down & Houston causes yellow 3.

Finally a long green - then Busch goes round,
All needing new tires are pit stop bound.
Green waving high after caution number 4,
Marlin now first - lap traffic at his door.

A quick #5 - as Junior tapped on Shrader,
Bristol's walls shredding like a cheese grader!
Bunching 'em up - round goes Brett Bodine,
A big break for some as they cross the line.

6th yellow over - Sterling still on top,
Then John Andretti took over the spot.
Gordon on the move - now he's top dawg,
Approaching the ½ - Jeff Burton caused a bog.

Picked up Mark Martin coming cross the track,
Restart green flies - Gordon on top the stack.
In a long green sprint - it's now Park's # 1,
Caution 8 for debris brings pit stop fun.

Andretti first out in the 43 Cheerio's,
A few laps later 7 and 66 bring 9th yellow.
Several got laps back - as green flew again,
Nadue goes spinning - brings caution # 10.

More got laps back - and some tires are slick,
Not going in - the leader now Kevin Harvick.
Waving is green as they bang and bump,
Kennseth good save - but created a clump!

Another quick caution - as Buckshot got tagged,
Pulling up leader Harvick - as his tire sagged.
Elliot Sadler takes over - then caution 13,
Sadler dealing with lap traffic going green.

Hooked up together are Sadler, Andretti, and Jeremy, Going green until the end - it's getting real scary!
Elliot Sadler never pitted all the way to the end,
Got Motorcraft and Wood Brothers his first win!
