Phoenix, AZ - Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil - 10/28/01

Rookie Casey's first pole ever is at the Valley of the sun.
As the green flag falls - Andretti's now number one.
Caution one flying - right-front gone on the Square D,
Shreder and Martin get two - as pit crews get busy.

Casey out first & leads until Rusty shoots by,
Then Kenny Wallace and Nemeck with flats make 2nd caution fly.
Rusty still leading - but moves over for the 99,
Now 3rd yellow waving - Mikey's right front grinds.

Jeff Burton again leader - but then it's Rusty's Miller Lite,
Rusty leads to the half, then he too looses a front right.
Casey again on top - now HIS right front blows
Seems like it's Goodyear causing the yellows.

No flag flies - cause Casey makes it in,
That puts Mike Wallace as the train's engine.
Debris on the track brings caution number 4,
Jeff Burton now leader as they put 'em to the floor.

Caution # 5 flies as Pressley spins her 'round,
All leaders go pitting - trying to gain ground.
Only taking two tires - Mike Wallace gets green,
But brother Kenny gets a lap back in the Penzoil machine.

Rudd's inside but Jeff Burton get's spot number 2,
Then Spencer taps Busch & the 6th caution flew.
Who's staying out and who's going to stop?
Leaders stayed on track - Mike Wallace still on top.

Got trouble again - Jon Andretti brushed the wall,
Wallace's #12 still leads as the restart flag falls
Jeff Burton takes back over then pulls away,
And now heading to the garage - Jr. ends his day.

Staying under green - Jeff still is top dawg,
With only a few to go - drivers are space hogs.
Burton hanging on as this win is in the bag,
He gets the win and Rouch a checkered flag.
