LOUDON, NH New England 300 7/21/02

Bud Pole winner was Awesome Bill,
But quickly a caution slows the field.
Blaney the victim - he's a turn 3 spinner,
Rusty the new leader - shooting by Skinner!

Mr. Excitement spins & brings caution 2,
Several dive in - need attention from their crew.
Back to green - Rusty is still sitting on top,
Caution 3 for Nemechek - brings more pit stops.

Rusty still leading - now Elliot off the pace,
Then Saddler 360'd - brings 4th caution of the race.
After crowded pits - Kenseth takes the lead,
Several cars wiggly - tires all have debris.

Junior new leader - climbing up the rungs,
It's yellow again - Andretti and Atwood got stung!
Junior still leads - but Stewart is on the move,
6th caution waving - Kyle got out of the groove.

Leaders go pitting - some got 2, some took four,
Rusty pulls away - but now Stewart is at his door.
He gets out of line - Stewart and 36 more go by,
Nadeau is the leader - 'til 7th caution does fly.

Stewart against the wall - some cars head in,
Blowers working hard - until green flies again.
Driver's complaining - it's a bad bad track,
Kenseth the leader - but Jr. only a ½ second back.

Busch has a flat - Junior takes it at ½ way,
Kenseth comes right back - now 8th caution today.
Smoke from Rudd - all leaders to pit road,
He oiled the track - it'll be a long yellow.

Leader again Nadeau - green is in the air,
Ward takes over - but Junior's also there!
With a spinning rear - into the wall goes Park,
Ward still the leader - Jimmy throws restart.

Caution 10 flying - cause the 5 and 15,
Several stayed out - Kenseth leads 'em to green.
11th caution for debris - leaders all go pit,
Jarrett stayed out - so on top he now sits.

Quickly 12th yellow - Mikey slammed the wall,
Then smoke but the pile-up - was saved by all.
Stayed under green - Saddler and DJ fight,
Casey's in the wall - yellow 13 takes flight.

DJ still leading - at restart they kick 'em down,
The Jr. gets into Todd and spin around.
10 to go on restart - Ward passes Matt,
Finally gets another win for Bill Davis' cat!
