Pocono, PA -- Pocono 500 -- 6/17/01

Rudd Got Father's day pole at Pocono,
Jimmy throws the green to start the show.
Rudd leading 'til first yellow flew,
Several dive in for attention by theit crew.

Junior leads to NASCAR's mandatory stop,
Bobby Labonte pitted early to sit on top.
Back to racing and Gordon takes the lead,
Sits on point until a caution for debris.

Back to speed then smoke's in the air,
A tunnel turn crash spreads 'em everywhere!
Over 10 damaged in this caution # 4,
Restart flies - and up front again the 24.

Jason and Buckshot bring 5th caution today,
Gordon out of pits first - then leads at ½ way.
Elliot blows a tire - sparks from the ground,
No yellow - so they green cycle around.

A break for Gordon - going yellow for Bodine,
Then heated discussions of who crossed what line.
DJ checks out - then for Casey yellow flies,
Some try to double pit to be fuel wise.

Getting towards the end - Rudd's on DJ's rear,
They finally pass Junior - but now Jeff's near.
Rudd takes the lead - now Texeco sets the pace,
Checkered flies for him - won pole and the race!
