Fontana, CA -- NAPA Auto Parts 500 -- 4/29/01

Bobby Labonte on pole - Todd Bodine by his side,
Starting green flies - they're 3 and 4 wide!
Todd Bodine then Spencer on top,
A long green run brings hurried pit stops.

Bobby Labonte is tapped - spinning through the grass,
Boy I'll bet that puckered his ass!
Again to the pits - as the yellow flew,
Some took on four, others only two.

Running two grooves, one high and one low,
Several pit early - coming to the pit window.
Caution 2 is flying - there's debris in 3 and 4,
Restart green waving - leading is Gordon's 24.

Leading ½ way - is Spencer's gold Mummy,
Then caution 3 flies, the track is gummy.
Oil cleaned up - green again in the air,
Barely restarted and there's a caution 4 scare.

After clean-up, first is Rusty's Miller Lite,
Long caution laps may change gas milage plight.
Pits under green - with about 50 left in the show
Pit penalty for Todd Bodine - crew let a tire go.

Right after pits, the caution flies again,
Nadeau locked 'em up and took a spin.
Green is waving - there's no time to waste.
Leaders are now picking up the pace.

Trouble in turn four - the 18 slammed hard
Now across the infield - he mowed the yard.
No caustion out but then we get number six,
As Mark Martin and Ward tangle and mix.

Long yellow flag then restart again flies,
Fontana decisions better have been wise.
Rusty leading Jeff - gets his first win of the year,
Good thing Rusty is racin' for beer.
