1. Longevity award: Ricky Rudd on extending his streak.
2. Hard times award: Rusty Wallace, Dale Jarrett,
and Sterling Marlin…good runs gone bad.
3. Where did he come from award: Rick Bickle.
Loved that post race interview. Real emotion
from one of the guys that we don’t usually see
at the finish, much less running up front. You
just know that there are a dozen other drivers out
there running at the back each week that feel the
same way. BTW, Todd Bodine in 11th. :-)
4. Ouch award: Ted Musgrave, Ricky Rudd, Kenny Irwin,
hmmm…maybe all the drivers should get this one.
5. Scary world award: for awhile there all three SABCO
teams were doing well.
6. Seems like old times award: Ted Musgrave in the #77.
7. What did I miss award: ESPN for being away at
commercial every time a caution came out.
8. ?Engineering award: Why bother to put anything
of substance in the front bumper…the radiator
will make for a fine pushbar on this short track.
9. Unwanted consistancy award: Kenny Wallace…
2 weeks in a row with the 43rd finishing spot.
10. Overlooked story award: Bill Elliott’s fine run in the wake
of his recent family tragedy. Great job Bill.
Tinadog says: Good race…NASCAR needs more short tracks.
Go Ricky Rudd! Wish i’d picked him…..Qualifying was bad, race was worse,
for my team:
Rusty Wallace 28th
Dale Jarrett 42nd
Kenny Wallace 43rd
Kyle Petty 29th and my high placing pick o’
the week…
Steve Park 24th
Picking right up where I left off last segment……
Ed Go #2 and #88 Suck,Squeeze, Bang, Blow….And Go Like Hell!
Did you hear Benny during the race?
"There’s no way Rudd can last………Gordon and Martin are the one
racing for the lead."
Geez, it seems like the only one’s that would take up for Ricky was
Ned Jarret and Dr. Jerry. Class acts, both of them.
Benny Parsons has always showed partiality to certain drivers. Used
to be, it was Davey Allison. Now it’s Jeff Gordon. I can understand
it with Ned and Dale, that’s family.
Benny, be quite and eat another hot dog.
BTW, if you get the Playstation game Nascar 99, there’s one sound bite
at AMS where Benny says "They got great food at this track." I about
fell out of my seat when I heard that.

I’m forwarding this message to the group under my own
name so that it can start circulating through the
internet this morning. I received it after visiting
Greg’s website:
Hi to all fellow NASCAR Fans in Cyberworld. My name is Greg, and my life now
is totally ruled by the happenings in Winston Cup Racing. I used to have an
ordinary life, catching the odd race here or there. But now I break out in
cold sweats at the idea of a rain delay, heck the smoke out in Daytona
nearly caused a nervous breakdown (no offence intended to the People
actually affected by that Tragedy). To quench the beast, I’d surf to all
types of different site, burning up all kinds of links, trying to find info
on my favorite drivers. One night it hit me, how many other NASCAR FANatics
are affected. So no longer could I sit on the side lines. To stop the
proliferation of this contagion of unnecessary all night surfing I developed
my own NASCAR web site called "Wide Freakin’ Open" . Stop by and let me know
what you all think. I might add a critics section in the future. My site Url
is http://www.cgocable.net/~wfo/index.html
and remember if you have to Go… GO W.F.O.

The Winston Cuppers tee off Sunday afternoon at Bruton Smith’s Charlotte
Country Club, all looking to put together that perfect round. But you can
bet your Merle Haggard collection there’s gonna be a truckload of trouble
between the first tee and that coveted checkered jacket–not the least of
which will be the hazards the players will present to each other.
Rainbow the Wonder Tiger is only about a short 7-iron away from the
championship, and if he don’t plunk it in the water too many times in
these last few rounds, he ought to be able to maintain his place on top
the season leader board.
However, history has showed us that when the leaves turn color, his game
goes south, so don’t write out that championship check just yet. As for
this week’s action, the kid won’t suffer a total collapse, but his score
card is gonna have more bogeys on it than he’s used to seeing, and he’ll
finish well off the lead.
On the other hand, the Golden Valvoline Bear will be hitting it long and
straight all day. And with a soft touch around the greens, he’ll be in
contention all the way to the end.
That other multi-colored bunch is coming off a reasonably decent
performance last week, and if they don’t Skittle themselves into a
concrete sand trap, the Swervin’ Shark in the #36 could be in for two
pretty good rounds in a row. However, look for that rusty colored Walrus
to miss the cut and be long gone by sundown.
There’s a strange looking cloud in the Colonel’s old crystal ball this
week, so don’t be too surprised if you find an unexpected winner in the
clubhouse on Sunday.
But I wouldn’t put any money on it. Cause this is the week that the
sleeping giant from the Yates Estate in Gotham City brings his #88
Bat-cart to the links and aces the field.
This is Colonel Lester L. Lugnuts, and that’s the way it’s gonna be.

Us! Syl, (10 fan) and I, (36 fan) went up with a #2 and #94 fan. After
qualifing they thought we had the deal rigged. Man, was it hot! Toured
the trailers during truck practice and added to our "wardrobe".
Saturday, up and back early. Took in a little track time and a little
more shopping. Sat in turn 4 for qualifing, sat in turn 1 for the truck
race. I love truck racing on TV, never seen it live. WOW! Saturday night
at the professional level. Hensley/Hornady battle at the end was worth
the price of admission. Jay Sauter was very smart, (for a change) and
pulled off the win. Many position battles worthy of note, but Sauter
played it smart and won on the leaders mistakes.
Sunday, the parking gurus put us 20k miles from the track. In best Ward
accent, "ah whale". Did "the tour" again, #1 son arrives and we get our
seats. After an hour or two, it’s time to find some shade. AAAAHHHHHH!
Time for the pre-game—very nice. GENTELMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!"
What heat? Around for the warm-ups. 21 hits the 96. 21 into the pits.
Can you say "Dummy?"Ah Whale". Nothing "much" happened, by news reports,
but a ton of action was on the track. By lap 100 3/4 of the field had
crunches and dough-nuts and problems were not only developing, but were
in full bloom! A bit of "quiet" time for a 100 laps or so, yeah, right.
Not seen on TV, BANG, SCRAPE, WIGGLE, BUMP, ETC………….
Felt sorry for the 43, he had THE car. 40 and 4 ran into their
Martinsville "luck" also. About this time, my #36 painted a bull’s-eye
somewhere on the car. Skinner even had to tag him on the caution. Larry
Mac was reading him the riot act on the radio. Hey, he’s young and it’s
Martinsville. Gordon got the 36 early, now Skinner, the #33 was yet to
come. At the end, Syl’s #10 kept the streak alive , and Ernie got an
eight, thanks to the #33. He done a job on himself. Can’t wait to see
the tape to see who’s doing who………So, Ricky keeps the streak
alive, Ernie gets 8th and looks like he just ran Martinsville. I had a
ball!! How about Rich Bickle? Wonder what "Pitlizards" will say this
week?"
If you can’t tell by now, I’m flying!!!!Loved both races and the whole
week-end. Edith, I was rooting x-tra hard for the #3, but it just
wouldn’t take. Sorry!.————-tim
NASCAR has been trying to figure out a way to slow the cars down, Sunday
could provide the answer.!! AIR CONDITION THEM!!!

Just visited CMP last Saturday night and have nothing but praise for
the place. It’s a great track to take your kids, especially if you sit
in the Family Section: the kids can play in the fenced playground
right behind you as you kick back and watch the cars zoom around the
1/2 mile tri-oval. Bring your lawn chairs!
