Jeff Gordon poled the Lady in Black,
Engines roaring - green falls on the track.
'Bout 50 in - Junior tags the wall,
Then Stacy brings #2 - pit stops for all.

Park out front - a long run 'til 3rd yellow,
Hornaday smacked his green Conseco.
Back to racing - several bump and tap,
Gordon then Park seem to lead every lap.

Oil in turn 2 - brings caution four,
Double file restart - scarier then before!
Grills getting packed - so some go pittin',
Gordon overheating - his radiator spittin'.

Green flag pits put Benson on top,
Then yellow flies - problems with Buckshot.
Waving is green - Park on top again,
Gordon to the garage with a blown engine.

Too tough is living up to the hype,
Most cars now showingf the Darlington stripe.
Yellow waving - leaders get tires and gas,
DJ leading until a yellow came fast.

Rusty came up and hit Mike's 31,
Skinner on fire - now it's a red one.
Restart single file - leading is DJ,
Kept the lead to get Ford the checkered today.
