Texas Motor Speedway -- Harrah's 500 -- 4/1/01

Junior took Bud Pole outside Texas' Big D,
Appropriate he led honorary lap number 3.
Mikey got loose - several trash the infield,
More to the garage - as 1st yellow to yield.

As DJ took over - Hamilton flat left rear,
Then Pressley tapped Nadue - got too near!
Pit stops for all - some only took on two,
Benson up front - 'til Junior came back through.

DJ again leading - to a green paced pit row,
Then debris at the line brings the 3rd yellow.
Jarrett out first - Park on his back door,
Now Steve takes over - pedal to the floor!

Something wrong with Bobby's Joe Gibb Machine,
DEI cars 1 and 2 - 'til more debris stops the green.
Leaders go pitting - Junior again is on top,
'Til a quick wreck in 2 - makes 'em all stop.

Casey, Joe, and Ward tangle and take a spin,
On restart - Houston brings a quick caution again.
Park again leading in his Penzoil number 1,
Smoke pouring from Rudd - his day is done.

Trouble on the track - Spencer tags the wall,
In a pit stop frenzy - pit crew members fall.
Green is waving - then Kennseth goes around,
A couple of the leaders are pit road bound.

At restart - Sterling was tapped by Brett Bodine,
With bought 50 to go - Junior leads 'em to the line.
Right behind Junior are cars Dupont and UPS,
Fuel mileage calculations becoming a guess.

Young guns battling then Sadler slides high,
Leaders come a pitting as the yellow flies.
Benson stayed out - but with 4 it was DJ,
DJ and the big brown truck got Harrah's payday.
