At the Rock everyone's hearts are heavy,
All gonna miss the # 3 black Chevy!
But back to racing - it has to be that way,
Jeff Gordon & Park front row today.

Barely a lap and several tagged the wall,
Hornaday didn't lift, first yellow does fall.
Single file restart spreds them 'til caution two,
Rain stopper again and the red flag flew.

Monday morning restart - now a sunny sky,
Compton up front as the green restart flies.
A long green run brings a quick pit stop,
Then Park, Gordon, and Labonte's 18 is on top.

Needing 4 fresh ones - drivers pit cycle again,
Racing fast and hard 'til Skinner takes a spin.
All go a pittin' - during the race's 3rd yellow,
Tightly packed Andretti scrapes his Cheerio.

Rudd making it scary - then Park shoots to # 1,
4th caution for Compton brings pit stop fun.
Double file restart - they're door to door,
Green waves high - leading again is the 24.

Bumping and banging down to the last laps,
Will Labonte be able to shoot the gap?
Wiggling & wobbling - moving low to high,
Park does a polish victory lap - 2nd win for DEI.

We'll miss you Dale!
