INDY - Brickyard 400 - 8/5/01

Mr. Excitement got pole for 8th Brickyard,
Quickly Houston and Pressley touch - slamming hard.
Picked up Martin and Matt Kenseth too,
Now Awesome Bill leads -'til 2nd caution flew.

Newman in the wall - courtesy of Jimmy,
Damn Mr. Excitement - as he brings number three.
On restart Blaney's got fire on his rear!
Then Sterling takes over - 'til green pits are near.

Several more lead - having to juke and jive,
Right after the cycle - comes caution number 5.
Cars mixing it up - after the restart,
Stewart gets the lead - but then comes Park.

Steve pulls away as Junior and Tony fight,
Green pits again - some loose, some tight.
Park again leading - 'til debris causes yellow,
Sterling stayed out - as Jimmy tells 'em go-go-go!

In turn one - Gordon's rainbow gets to top,
Then Nadeau spins and slides to a stop.
No leaders pit - it's still the 24,
Restart flies - putting pedals to the floor!

Lap traffic behind Gordon takes Sterling wide,
Fighting for position - jockeying side by side.
Jeff holds Sterling off - he has it dialed in,
Gets first Indy "threepeat" with the win!!!
