Martinsville, VA - Old Dominion 500 - 10/15/01

Todd Bodine on pole in Martinsville, V.A.,
Due to rain - we're racin' on Monday.
Quickly Craven took over in his 32
Several take spins - but no caution flew.

Pressley slams the wall - all leaders come in,
Kenseth stays out to lead - as green flies again.
Just get going and again yellow on the track
Only a few down & Lapage spins his Kodak.

Barkley got going - as Nadue's in the wall,
Kenseth still leading as restart falls.
After a few - Gordon takes 1st in his rainbow
But Andretti and J Burton tangle to bring 4th yellow.

Restart flies - as Mike Wallace takes top spot,
Then Bill Elliot and Stewart go out - cars running too hot.
Saddler then takes lead - he decided not to pit,
No caution flying as several spin & hit!

Rich Bickle brings caution - taking a spin in turn 4,
At green, Craven leads, then again it's the 24.
Rusty got tapped & spins his Miller Lite,
Several stay out not taking the pit flight.

It's as if a magician said Abra-ca-dabra,
Lead non-pitter Martin - fronts his Viagra.
Rookie Busch leads at half - then Jr. takes a tumble,
All cars go pitting which causes a rumble!

Ward Burton takes lead as they come to the line,
Quickly Blaney is spun - a knock from behind.
Back to green - CAT and UPS fighting for #1,
Yellow # flying - shifting backwards the 31.

All smacking 'round at restart - 1st is Bobby's Square D,
Then caution #11 flies for a spinning Little E.
Most stay out - Hamilton still setting the pace,
Rudd 2nd in points blown engine & out of the race.

With a little over 50 to go - 3 in the wall sit still,
Will crews go with 4 or 2 or none - what is the deal?
Beating and banging - Harvick taps Hamilton in the rear,
Kevin's penalized a lip - Craven's on top with the end near.

Clean restart - although donuts are on every side,
Craven pulling away - has the hotrod ride.
DJ caught Ricky, but couldn't pass,
First career win comes for Rick at last!
