being a lot warmer than it was yesterday00:06:01
and not getting a lot of practice and00:06:02
being warmer than when we tested going00:06:04
have to be careful on our00:06:06
tires you know that's one thing you guys00:06:08
had the pressure to just make the race00:06:10
where a lot of these guys have race00:06:11
setups on how many changes you guys00:06:13
going to make on these first couple of00:06:15
pit stops to get this car to handle well00:06:17
we did we didn't go 100% full Monte on00:06:20
qualifying but uh we had a pretty big00:06:22
qualifying setup in it I think we're00:06:24
going to be okay there um you know we00:06:26
got to take some wedge out of all four00:06:28
Jack bolts ready the track bar um if00:06:31
it's not good enough we'll come down pit00:06:33

Hamilton has requested to start at the00:06:58
back of the field and the two of Rusty00:06:59
Wallace back there because he's in a00:07:01
backup car after crashing and qualifying00:07:04
nine drivers did not make the uh All00:07:07
State 400 here at the Brickyard so their00:07:09
hearts were broken yesterday the other00:07:12
42's Hearts will be broken today when00:07:14
they don't win the All State 400 but00:07:16
somebody will yes and have their dream00:07:19
come true final thoughts from Pit Road00:07:22
before we go racing at Indianapolis to00:07:24
Marty Snider billing that somebody might00:07:26
just be Casey Kane in this race last00:07:28
year he used us the outside Groove00:07:30
proving there is one to finish fourth00:07:32
his car he told me is the best he has00:07:35
ever sat in but that was in practice00:07:37
yesterday Colin Ray everham told me his00:07:39
one concern is the weather we heard00:07:41
Robbie Gordon mention it is a good bit00:07:43
warmer than it was yesterday and Ray00:07:45
said that might change their setup just00:07:47
a bit but their car was excellent00:07:49
yesterday Ray told me a car that can win00:07:51
this race Matt back at Pocono Greg00:07:54
Biffle lost one spot in the championship00:07:56
standings falling to third so you think00:07:58
the goal here at indie is to get back00:08:00
into second but he told me the biggest00:08:02
thing he doesn't care about points for00:08:04
this event this is one of those big00:08:06
events where all you care about is the W00:08:09
one year ago he started back in 35th and00:08:11
finished six today he starts back in00:08:13
31st Doug Richard told me expect the 1600:08:16
car to put a demonstration on how to go00:08:19
from the back to the front Dave what00:08:22
will Kurt Bush's day be like he's only00:08:24
ever LED three laps here at the00:08:25
Brickyard but he's finished on the lead00:08:27
lap three of the four times he's raced00:08:29
here and this weekend before a poor00:08:30
qualifying performance he had a very00:08:32
fast race car on all of the timing00:08:34
sheets but perhaps a really good00:08:36
predictor is how well he ran at Pocono00:08:38
he won that race and many people say00:08:40
that if you can win at Pocono you can00:08:42
win here at Indie with the same sort of00:08:44
setup that momentum may carry Kurt bus00:08:46
to Victory Lane today Alan well Dave we00:08:49
talk about it every year here at00:08:51
Indianapolis it's a story every year00:08:53
this very narrow pit Lane I'm down at00:08:55
the turn one end of Pit Road it's just00:08:57
barely 30 ft wide sometime today some00:09:01
driver pulling out of his pit stall is00:09:03
going to wrinkle up his right front00:09:04
fender banging into another car coming00:09:06
down Pit Road from farther on and ruin00:09:08
his chance to win keeping the fenders00:09:10
clean a key today also late in the race00:09:13
some driers some crew chief are going to00:09:14
gamble on fuel only or two tires to try00:09:17
and get up front and win at Indianapolis00:09:19
strategy late in the race we'll see how00:09:21
it unfolds in the final laps Bill thanks00:09:24
gentlemen enjoy your day down there00:09:26
there is Pit Road here at the00:09:28
Indianapolis Motor Speedway the pit00:09:29
stalls are about 12 ft wide and 45 ft00:09:33
long you select your pit stall based on00:09:35
your qualifying spot so take a look at00:09:37
this on the pole Elliot Sadler he has00:09:40
the best starting spot and a great pit00:09:42
stall BP he certainly does because as00:09:44
long he as he can stay in front there's00:09:46
no one going to be in his way coming in00:09:48
and he when they finish changing tire00:09:49
fuel he just drives out with no one in00:09:51
his way Tony Stewart starts in the00:09:53
middle of the pack he's in the middle of00:09:55
Pit Road surrounded by other cars and00:09:58
Jimmy Johnson who never got a chance to00:10:00
make a qualifying attempt while he's all00:10:01
the way down there by turn four yeah and00:10:03
he's going to have to give a lot of give00:10:05
when you're a driver coming down that00:10:06
pit Lane and it's very narrow you've got00:10:08
to watch cars peeling out of the pits00:10:11
and not run into them or have them run00:10:12
into you so as a driver you got to stay00:10:14
on your toes cuz Allen is Right00:10:16
somebody's chances today are going to00:10:17
get ruined on pit Lane for winning this00:10:19
race it's very tight very tight down00:10:22
there there you see some of the 250,00000:10:26
fans here at the Indianapolis Motor00:10:28
Speedway 43 cars on this 2 and 1/2 Mile00:10:30
track the short shoot between turns00:10:32
three and four when you think about the00:10:34
names that have gone to Victory Lane00:10:36
here both in Open Wheel and stock car00:10:38
racing just makes you wonder who's going00:10:41
to be next there's a museum on the00:10:43
grounds that's well worth the price of00:10:46
admission now the pace vehicle will head00:10:49
for Pit Road and the 250,000 will come00:10:52
to their feet 43 cars about to race 4300:10:55
Hearts already00:10:58
are front stretch is 5/8 of a mile long00:11:01
they wait now for the green flag at00:11:05

he00:12:00
Elliot Saddler brings them down the00:12:02
front stretch he leads at Indianapolis00:12:04
but it's safe to say the race begin on00:12:06
the first lap I would say so during00:12:08
Mayfield on the inside wal takes a spot00:12:10
these guys that are trying to get to the00:12:11
front it's important here you'll hear00:12:13
clean air a lot this is one of those00:12:14
race tracks you want all the air on your00:12:17
car to push those four tires into the00:12:18
racetrack for grip so it's real00:12:20
important to try to get out front and00:12:22
get away from everybody Sadler wasn't00:12:24
kidding when he said his car would be00:12:25
pretty00:12:26
good he's already put bus swings on the00:12:29
second place car of Jeremy00:12:33
Mayfield Marty hey Bill Jeremy Mayfield00:12:35
told me before he got in the car he said00:12:37
I know this thing is going to go to the00:12:38
front he said absolutely without a doubt00:12:40
best race car I've ever had here they00:12:42
built a brand new race car tested it00:12:44
here he said it was unbelievable in00:12:46
practice he wanted very few changes00:12:48
during the practice session in fact he00:12:49
said I could run it all day long and it00:12:51
ran anywhere I wanted it to they are00:12:53
very good off of turns two and four just00:12:56
like his teammate Casey Kane and if00:12:58
you're going to be good in where at00:12:59
Indie that's where you want to be good00:13:02
comes Mark Martin and you know what you00:13:04
want to know how important this place is00:13:06
how many guys have said it's the best00:13:07
car I've ever had you know what I mean00:13:09
because they of them I think they all00:13:11
put so much effort into this race that's00:13:14
how important it is Mark Martin in that00:13:16
six car a throwback paint scheme for a00:13:18
throwback racer Matt four wins in that00:13:21
paint Scheme from 1990 and 91 hoping to00:13:23
put it in Victory Lane for the fifth00:13:25
time pulling out all stops to get a win00:13:28
here at indie brand new race car tested00:13:30
well they ran well at Pocono they're00:13:33
expecting good things today he's trying00:13:35
to end a winner streak that dates back00:13:37
43 races bill and the top that he's W00:13:40
here before in Iraq three straight00:13:44
races thank you Matt Robbie Gordon on00:13:47

Kevin harck on the inside y m kenith in00:13:56
the 17 Tony Stewart in the 20 Home Depot00:14:01
Chevrolet Marty got some stuff on Tony00:14:04
Billy wants to slowly March his way00:14:05
towards the front when they tested here00:14:07
last month the tests did not go very00:14:09
well the first half of the day was00:14:10
almost a waste Greg zipadelli told me00:14:12
this morning but in the second half of00:14:13
the day they got better but when they00:14:15
got back to Huntersville North Carolina00:14:16
they said you know what maybe that's not00:14:18
the right car to bring so they brought00:14:20
another car the one that they hadn't run00:14:21
this year at all put a brand new body on00:14:23
it and this is the car Tony brought when00:14:25
he got into practice yesterday he said00:14:28
that was the right decision guys this00:14:30
car will be good in the race tomorrow00:14:32
Marty started 22nd he's up to00:14:34
16th that's another car best car has00:14:37
ever had here right exactly right now00:14:39
let's see if we can find the current00:14:42
Championship00:14:44
leader wow Tony making that crossover00:14:47
move on Robbie Gordon you got around00:14:49
kenith now inside of Robbie Gordon in00:14:51
the00:14:53
seven but Robbie Gordon's car and that00:14:56
that seven car looks like is a little00:14:57
bit loose right now especially getting00:14:58
into00:14:59
down into the corner thing wants to spin00:15:01
out when he tugs on the00:15:03
wheel there's Jimmy johnon 48 car trying00:15:06
to March his way forward last time by he00:15:09
was running in the 35th00:15:12
position Dave on Jimmy and remember last00:15:15
year guys they had a car that they could00:15:17
not get right played with it all day00:15:19
long could not get it to work well here00:15:21
at India it finally succumbed to engine00:15:23
failure late in the race this year00:15:26
they've loved this car but they never00:15:27
got a chance to display that qualifying00:15:29
because of what Matt and Jimmy talked00:15:30
about in the pre-race show they're just00:15:32
playing it now and Jimmy's moving00:15:36
forward a long way to go but a long time00:15:39
to get there for Johnson the00:15:40
championship leader in that 48 Car see00:15:43
the mile per hour there you see close to00:15:45
200 milph going down into turn one and00:15:49
bad news for deard junr in the a car00:15:51
he's lost some spots he started 27th and00:15:53
he's back to the 32nd00:15:56
position right in front of Jimmy Johnson00:16:01
word that Nascar has talked to the 2000:16:03
team about their driver maybe being a00:16:05
little too aggressive here in the early00:16:07
laps of the Brickyard race the All State00:16:11
400 Kurt Bush the 97 car on the inside00:16:14
of Junior trying to take a spot00:16:19
away Junior didn't exactly sound very00:16:22
optimistic Bank of America countdown to00:16:24
Green did he no he00:16:26
didn't junior said earlier this weekend00:16:28
and this is a crucial race this could00:16:31
decide their fate on making a Chase they00:16:33
expect to run well we go to Watkins fln00:16:36
this was the one question mark a brand00:16:39
new race car in the Dale nhart00:16:42
stable good things well he's losing some00:16:46
spots right now Matt so look like they00:16:48
need to adjust on that chassis Jimmy00:16:50
Johnson just went by and he's got Rusty00:16:53
Wallace in the twocc car all over the00:16:55
rear00:16:57
buper that two-car of Rusty Wallace a00:17:00
backup car crashed here yesterday was00:17:02
the last car in the qualifying order00:17:05
crashed in turn one got a car off the00:17:08
truck no laps but Dave so far so good00:17:11
and Rusty was quoted as saying you know00:17:12
this is the car I really wish we had00:17:14
race anyway I guess that's what you say00:17:16
after you wreck your car on qualifying00:17:18
but this is the not the car that they00:17:20
tested here so they've been all over00:17:22
with cars here the Carly tested Larry00:17:24
Carter told me was not that good he's a00:17:26
crew chief he should know so they00:17:28
brought two cars that they thought would00:17:30
be a lot better yesterday's is okay00:17:32
Rusty really likes this00:17:36
one that's a great shot right there00:17:38
isn't it sure is down the turn one you00:17:40
got to be right down on the bottom of00:17:41
these Corners when you get in and all00:17:43

concern Matt kenith however car is00:22:35
excellent he just radiated a Robbie00:22:36
Riser about four laps ago said it's a00:22:38
little bit tight Robbie but I like it00:22:40

Bill you could hear some issue with the00:23:44
motor on the 16 of Greg Biffle he just00:23:46
yelled on the radio of gone to the00:23:48
backup distributor everything appears to00:23:50
be okay third in the championship00:23:52
standing he was putting on a00:23:54
demonstration on getting to the front00:23:55
started near the back worked his way00:23:57
inside the top 20 quickly he says the00:23:59
car is okay now and we heard that heard00:24:03
we heard that we wondered who and not00:24:04
everyone on the front stretch all the00:24:06
fans all the fans stood up to see what00:24:08
had happened so did you guys00:24:11
yes on board with00:24:13
Biffle he's worked his way up from 31st00:24:16
to the 17th00:24:19
position so he has a good race car00:24:22
driving beautiful buddy being a little00:24:25
hard on the brakes from trying toas off00:24:29
security BL tight00:24:32
probably been a little hard on the00:24:33
brakes he said a little hard on his00:24:35
heart it sounds like00:24:38
too so Biffle appears to be okay for now00:24:41
we'll keep an eye on that and we'll try00:24:43
and keep an eye on Elliot Saddler but00:24:45
you got to look quick that 38 M&M's00:24:47
forward is pretty darn fast Elliot00:24:49
Sadler leads Mayfield Vickers Kane and00:24:54
Gordon back here at the Indianapolis00:24:57
Motor Speedway still under green take a00:24:59
look at the Chevrolet drivers to watch00:25:01
their best finish in the All State 40000:25:04
at the Brickyard Jimmy Johnson ninth00:25:05
Tony Stewart couple of Fifth Place00:25:08
finishes nhart Jr obviously that's the00:25:11
guy to watch wouldn't you00:25:14
yes uhoh caution is out Bobby Hamilton00:25:19
Jr off the pace Travis qule had already00:25:21
pulled down Pit Road Bobby ran into00:25:24
somebody yes00:25:25
or could be a left front came par00:25:28
there and the tire left tire came apart00:25:32
and has torn up the left front fender00:25:34
and you were concerned about Tire we00:25:35
here there goes the left front for00:25:38
good the first 50 laps of the race I was00:25:42
concerned about tire wear it's going to00:25:44
the last 50 laps it will not be a00:25:45
problem straight to Pit Road straight to00:25:47
Pit Road that's because the tires will00:25:48
rubber up the track the rubber will go00:25:50
into the grooves on the racet track and00:25:52
that should help the00:25:56
tire so we can see the 32 car having the00:25:59
flat tire we see him there right in the00:26:01
center of the00:26:03
screen oh there he goes just blows00:26:06
apart man heading into the turn nice job00:26:10
hanging on to that yeah really and00:26:11
debris every place a couple of cars that00:26:15
have been falling back the seven of00:26:17
Robbie Gordon and the 36 of Boris00:26:20
said those were a couple of guys that00:26:22
had to get in so basically they're00:26:24
racing on qualifying setups and00:26:26
qualifying setups race setups so totally00:26:28
different now this is a caution flag00:26:31
those cars can come in and change a lot00:26:32
of those qualifying setups to a race00:26:35
setup and they're and they're lucky they00:26:36
didn't lose a lap because they were00:26:37
getting close to being going to lap down00:26:40
and now we'll see what guys are having00:26:42
issues with the tires cuz we can see the00:26:44
where once these guys all come in and00:26:45
make pit stops who's going to be00:26:47
worrying about tires two-time Brickyard00:26:49
winner Dale Jared started 24th he is00:26:51
falling back to 38 mck kenith has been00:26:54
on the move all the way up to00:26:56
12 and here they come down on the very00:26:59
narrow Pit Road at00:27:02
Indianapolis Matt take it away the first00:27:05
leader who will hit his pit box will be00:27:07
Ricky rug the 97 winner fatback main00:27:10
calling him in Ricky says the car just00:27:13
lacks grip whatever you do don't take00:27:15
away what I already have in the back we00:27:17
need to work on the front good stop00:27:20
going on Marty Jeremy Mayfield middle of00:27:22
your screen in the 19 car the car00:27:24
outstanding their biggest concern they00:27:27
cannot hear Jeremy on the radio they00:27:28
thought he was just being quiet but when00:27:30
they tried to communicate with him they00:27:31
got nothing back Allan Elliot Saddler in00:27:34
going to get four tires in fuel the00:27:36
catch can man Frankie good looked up at00:27:38
crew chief Todd parrot with the00:27:39
adjustment wrenches in his hand like you00:27:41
want any of these Todd shook his head no00:27:43
D Championship leader Jimmy Johnson00:27:45
decided at this time not to take two00:27:47
tires for track position they took four00:27:49
they made adjustments through two holes00:27:51
in the rear window with their wrenches00:27:52
that will adjust the car better for00:27:54
turns one and two where he was a little00:27:55
bit tight pushing toward that wall bill00:27:59
Hallelujah they all made it off Pit Road00:28:01
without any contact but that's only the00:28:03
first time well true it'll be a busy day00:28:05
down there guys trying to make their00:28:07
cars better Jimmy Johnson trying to get00:28:09

[Music]00:28:16
Brickyard still under caution here at00:28:18
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the All00:28:20
State 400 at the Brickyard Elliot Sadler00:28:22
continues to lead Benny let's go inside00:28:25
our Home Depot virtual garage and take a00:28:27
look at the tire issues under the00:28:29
microscope today talking about camber we00:28:31
talked about this at Pocono 2 weeks ago00:28:34
camber is how the tire leans in or out00:28:36
at the top in is negative camber what00:28:39
happens when you have negative camber00:28:41
you go down these straightaways up to00:28:42
20000:28:43
mph the number one stop it you see just00:28:47
this little green strip on the inside00:28:49
that's all the tire that's making00:28:50
contact with the RAC track you do that00:28:53
so when you get to the turn and you00:28:54
apply all the pressure on that tire it00:28:56
deflects it goes over and you get the00:28:58
entire contact Tire freezing you see the00:29:02
whole tire goes over makes contact with00:29:04
the racetrack the problem is down the00:29:05
straightaway that little narrow strip at00:29:07
200 mph no air pressure it's used to00:29:10
it's more pressure than that tire can00:29:12
stand and the straightaways here on the00:29:14
front and the back 58 of a mile long00:29:16
that's a long way under caution at00:29:19
Indianapolis Elliot Sadler the race00:29:25
leader coming to get the green flag at00:29:27
Indian here's our team Tylenol safety00:29:29
fact Tire inner liners were introduced00:29:31
in the mid1 1960s the NASCAR racing to00:29:33
help drivers have some measure of00:29:35
control in the event of a punctured Tire00:29:38
used at most tracks but not all of them00:29:40
the interliner of safety development in00:29:42
NASCAR and a good00:29:46
one great green flag out again at00:29:57
Indianapolis00:30:04
about that vior from second place he was00:30:06
pretty good at00:30:07
Pocono and that's a RAC and that's a car00:30:10
that's easy to see yes it is lime green00:30:13
I think he finished second the first00:30:15
Pocono Race behind Carl00:30:18
Edwards Travis qule a lap00:30:21
down on the00:30:24
inside get some stories from Pit Road00:30:27
here in a few moments but just to update00:30:28
some drivers for you Jeff Burton had a00:30:30
problem with his Jack on his pit stop00:30:32
that cost him some spots Gordon in the00:30:35
24 looking at the nine of Casey00:30:39
Kane they're trying to solve Jeremy00:30:41
Mayfield's radio problems and Ken Sher00:30:43

Stewart he was a little tight in fact he00:31:09
came on the radio at the end of that run00:31:10
Bill said I'm getting worse and worse00:31:12
every lap I need some help here guys and00:31:14
they made major changes up on the track00:31:16
bar air pressure adjustments in both00:31:18
rear tires trying to loosen up the 2000:31:20
car a little bit for Tony make it a00:31:21
little more drivable for him into the00:31:23
corners car looks pretty good right now00:31:25
Marty he's passing a lot of cars on the00:31:27
inside and that's in00:31:29
traffic so maybe the changes that Greg00:31:31
zipel and the crew made are going to00:31:33
work we see the bipple car being passed00:31:36
by Mike Bliss behind Tony00:31:40

board with00:32:07
Harvick 200 milph 2 three four radio00:32:11
communications have always been somewhat00:32:13
of a headache for teams at this00:32:15
track yeah they are it's it's difficult00:32:19
and you know you don't really think00:32:20
about how much you use it till you don't00:32:21

problems with00:32:25
them back in the set early 70s these00:32:27

that he had a radio problem until he was00:33:43
under caution he just T that the team00:33:45

radio in the car he hooked the backup00:33:51
radio up when they come back down Pit00:33:52
Road next time they'll give them a brand00:33:54

tight on the pit stop they went up on00:34:49
the track bar they also made an air00:34:50
pressure adjustment taking a pound on00:34:52
the right front tire I talked to Tommy00:34:54

traffic he said because our car is is00:34:57
already tight for in traffic it's that00:35:00
much tighter so sometimes you'll see him00:35:01
drop back from other CS but so far he's00:35:04
had a little bit of difficulty trying to00:35:05
pass on the cars maybe we'll see him use00:35:07
an outside Lane like he did last year00:35:10
and Casey Kane also has a new multi-year00:35:12
contracted drive for Ray everham as does00:35:14
crew chief Tommy00:35:17
Baldwin well Elliot Saddler continues to00:35:20
lead he's LED 31 of the 32 laps00:35:23
completed here at the00:35:26
brickyard00:35:28
earlier today Casey Kane met the winner00:35:30
of the All State Challenge Mike Arnold00:35:32
of St Louis now if Casey wins today's00:35:35
All State 400 at the Brickyard Mike will00:35:37
win an additional00:35:40
$400,000 wow and guess where Casey's00:35:42
running right now come on Casey says00:35:45
mike third place for00:35:48
[Music]00:35:50
Kane those two Dodges look pretty good I00:35:53
they're Saddler flying but every once in00:35:55
a while Mayfield in that 19 team will00:35:58
he'll take the fastest LA and sometimes00:36:00
Sadler will looks like when when either00:36:04
of those cars make a perfect lap hit00:36:06
their marks exactly right they have the00:36:07
fastest lap but it's more consistently00:36:10
the 38 than the 1900:36:12
[Music]00:36:14
or9 so Elliot Sadler comes around to00:36:17
complete another lap the driers is doing00:36:19
an outstanding job but he gives credit00:36:21
to his crew for giving him the car that00:36:24
might get him a win at00:36:26
Indianapolis00:36:28
the effort my team uh puts in for this00:36:30
race is absolutely amazing I think Doug00:36:32
Yates has been stuck in the motor in for00:36:34
the past few months and uh we started00:36:36
designing this car about 6 months ago00:36:38
and it's taking about four or five00:36:39
months to actually build it and uh we00:36:41
kept doing it redoing it redoing it till00:36:42
we think we got it right came up here00:36:44
for the test and we were light the fast00:36:46
right out of the box so uh my guys have00:36:48
done a great job with this car now it's00:36:50
got to be my job as a driver to make00:36:51
sure we go here and do a good job on00:36:53
Sunday but I definitely got the tools to00:36:54
do it with and I think we got some for00:36:56
we just got to put it all in00:36:58
caution on the speedway for Jeff Green00:37:01
another one another left TI another left00:37:06
front and we're going to you know I00:37:08
talked to a lot of guys in in the garage00:37:10
area about this on on Saturday there was00:37:12
a lot of guys that were worried about00:37:14
this betting I mean Kurt Bush and some00:37:16
of those guys were saying 12 15 laps00:37:18
they were down to the courts you know00:37:20
and poono in June 21 left front tires00:37:26
went flat for some whatever reason00:37:28
goodar says that the teams are under00:37:30
inflating them we showed you just a00:37:32
moment ago that narrow strip down the00:37:33
straightway Imagine 200 mph and the tire00:37:36
about flat yeah when you go on the00:37:38
freeway you see all those truck tires00:37:39
laying on the side that's because the00:37:41
tire was run flat and most of the00:37:43
situation like these left front tires is00:37:45
low air pressure and excessive camber00:37:48
causing this this track is 2 and2 miles00:37:51
around and that's a long trip back to00:37:54
Pit Road good news for Robbie Gordon00:37:56
he's the ball lucky dog award00:37:59
winner deep in the field but he gets his00:38:02
lap back he the first car highest00:38:04
running car not on the lead lap so00:38:06
Robbie's guys will get a chance to work00:38:07
on that machine again and he'll be back00:38:09
on the lead lap we've always known he00:38:10
was a lucky dog Y and uh so everybody00:38:14
will be coming in putting more tires on00:38:16
I guess you got to now especially with00:38:17
some Tire issues you got to keep putting00:38:20
tires on these cars there's a break hose00:38:22
that the the left front tire as he came00:38:24
apart just took the break HS off the car00:38:28
La it on the racetrack now he has if00:38:30
they do repair the car he has no cooling00:38:33
back to the brakes on the00:38:35
automobile Robbie Gordon going back on00:38:37
the lead lap will put 41 cars on the00:38:39
lead lap that means 41 cars will be00:38:41
heading down Pit Road some these cars00:38:43
have hoses poin to the inside of these00:38:45
tires to keep them cool so they they've00:38:48
got six seven hoses on the front of00:38:51
these cars here only about 14 green flag00:38:53
Laps on these tires see if anybody wants00:38:56
track position really bad oh no oh no no00:38:59
no no I just said we'll see no no they00:39:02
want tires more they want track position00:39:04
here they come00:39:08
careful so Coran really collapses as00:39:10
they get close to that Pit Road entrance00:39:13
Jason ler hit that commitment cone00:39:15
during the last round of stops Matt Yoko00:39:18
a possible issue with a throttle linkage00:39:20
on the 21 or carburetor Ricky Rd is not00:39:23
sure he say something is just a little00:39:25
weird as they blow the break dust out of00:39:27
that left front wheel no adjustments for00:39:30
this former winner Snider at the 19 Car00:39:33
Jeremy Mayfields in the middle of your00:39:34
screen he said man this thing is fast00:39:36
Luger Labby said well let's make no00:39:38
changes the only change Jeremy wants a00:39:40
bag of ice for a little Comfort Allan00:39:42
Elliot Sadler the leader and his crew00:39:44
chief Todd par a long debate about two00:39:46
or four tires Todd said we know there'll00:39:47
be people get two here and there are00:39:49
plenty but we'll take four I think we'll00:39:51
be better off Dave for two runs in a row00:39:54
the 41 of Casey MIRS has started out00:39:56
very very loose he is end of the Run00:39:57
saying the car is awesome so on both pit00:40:00
stops they have made no changes to that00:40:02
car except for the four fresh tires so00:40:05
I'm guessing maybe a couple of guys took00:40:07
just would you think so you think I'll00:40:11
tell you what we'll take a break and00:40:12
then we'll come back and find out but I00:40:15
think some guys just took two here at00:40:17

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Rusty00:40:47
Wallace had to make an additional stop00:40:49
and so did that car the 31 car of Jeff00:40:51
Burton let's take a look inside our NBC00:40:54
pit00:40:55
window okay the 3 one car Jeff Burton00:40:58
sitting on Pit Road they're going to00:40:59
change right side00:41:01
tires okay roll bring the tire around00:41:05
tire changer takes the tire00:41:07
off all right we slam on the next one00:41:10
roll the tire the away he's going to get00:41:11
up to go around what look out whoa Jeff00:41:15
Burton all of a sudden takes off just00:41:17
takes off yeah that's I don't understand00:41:20
he didn't have all the lugs on that00:41:21
right front he also ran over the air00:41:23
hose and he also has a clutch problem00:41:25
and maybe that's what happened maybe00:41:27
when the driver comes in to make a pit00:41:29
stop he stops he puts a car in neutral00:41:31
normally when they drop the jack on the00:41:33
right side then he puts it back in gear00:41:36
to get ready to leave and maybe when he00:41:39
jammed it in gear the clutch wasn't00:41:40
disengaged and and it shot forward Matt00:41:43
do you have any idea what happened BP go00:41:45
back to their very first pit stop when00:41:47
they came around to service the left00:41:49
side of the car Jeff said the car felt00:41:52
weird it lurched forward it rolled off00:41:54
the Jack that's where they got the00:41:55
cosmetic damage to the left side door00:41:58
possibly that's where the clutch was00:42:00
already starting to fade Dave Matt this00:42:03
was on the front grill of Rusty00:42:04
Wallace's car it's a windshield tear off00:42:06
they tear them off uh in layers so they00:42:08
don't have to clean the windshield all00:42:09
the time one of these came off somebody00:42:11
else's car onto the track and got under00:42:12
Rusty's Grill it was overheated he Pitt00:42:14
it twice to run water through the00:42:16
cooling system from an iced cooler and00:42:18
now the temperatures are back down in00:42:19
the two00:42:21
car there you see that's what happens00:42:23
that hose is under pressure more00:42:25
pressure than it pops off the pressure00:42:27
valve so it's able to put cold water00:42:29
inside the engine but you hope that the00:42:32
damage hasn't already been done because00:42:33
it was hot very that's00:42:38
right they have waved off the field they00:42:41
gave them the one to go but now the00:42:42
caution flag is back00:42:46
out here's the Craftsman pit summary00:42:48
Elliot Sadler came out sixth Mayfield00:42:51
and Kane also falling back that's00:42:53
because several cars only took two tires00:42:56
and including Brian Vickers Michael00:42:59
Waltrip mck kenth Kyle Busch and Jeff00:43:02
Gordon we'll be back in a00:43:08
moment back here to pack next experience00:43:11
with our next fan of the Week Sarah00:43:13
Mouser from Cincinnati Ohio you have a00:43:15
unique Hobby and you're holding it yes00:43:17
I'm an abstract print maker and my00:43:20
inspiration comes from nas Nextel NASCAR00:43:23
tracks I've done 17 so far I need to do00:43:26
six more they're every Sunday I sit down00:43:28
in front of the TV and I assemble the00:43:30
fabric and I sew them and then I print00:43:31
them and they are created this way and00:43:34
you get it from the aerial shots exactly00:43:37
right before the commercial breaks I00:43:38
always have to sit and wait and see the00:43:39
aerial shot of the tracks well if you'd00:43:42
like your shot at being a lucky Nextel00:43:44
fan of the Week it's very easy just log00:43:45
on to00:43:47
nascar.com00:43:50
Nextel man I got a question for you what00:43:52
racetrack was that she was holding I fig00:43:55
that it00:43:58
uh and there's the shot for this week00:44:01
from the helicopter all right she'll be00:44:02
able to go home watch the tape and okay00:44:06
we're under a lengthy yellow here and no00:44:09
not too L well hopefully not but here's00:44:11
why we're under a an extended yellow00:44:14
watch the 32 car when he blew a tire he00:44:16
went over with the rumble strips here in00:44:18
turn one and he knocked them off well00:44:20
what holds those strips in place in the00:44:22
racetrack they're bolt to the track so00:44:25
when he knocked those off the track we00:44:26
had the bolts sticking up which could00:44:28
have caused lots of problems obviously00:44:31
if you ran over them so these guys are00:44:32
backing the bolts out and uh taking care00:44:35
of that problem and those strips are00:44:36
down there to keep you from running down00:44:37
there aren't they basically yeah they00:44:39
are and well so much for that yes so so00:44:42
this track just got a little bit wider00:44:44
it in turns here's our Bush Series00:44:46
update the unofficial results from last00:44:48
night as Alan bestwick talked about00:44:50
Benny you saw Martin Truex go to Victory00:44:52
Lane at IRP great job Clint Bor you was00:44:54
the best car of the first half Martin00:44:56
TRX best car of the second half so we're00:45:00
still under caution they will get the00:45:02
one to go this time by we'll go back to00:45:04
green flag ricey when NBC's coverage of00:45:07
the All State 400 at the Brickyard00:45:12
continues the field is coming to get the00:45:15
green flag listen to Greg biffle's00:45:16
concerns about the restarts on the track00:45:20
the main thing is when they're bunching00:45:21
up it's going to be every restart today00:45:24
usually see the guy in front of me but00:45:25
that's about it do ear you know now00:45:28
they're kind of busing up or they're00:45:30
stopping you can tell me that it's00:45:31
looking shaky and I'll be on my00:45:34
toes and and the reason that is you00:45:37
can't see you know when you these plac00:45:38
are so narrow you're you're down right00:45:41
on the RAC check you can't see one or00:45:43
two cars ahead of you that well it'll be00:45:45
interesting to see what happens with00:45:46
Kyle Bush got out of line before the00:45:48
green00:45:49
flag and I guess the spot of told Biff00:45:52
it looks a little shaky definitely did00:45:54
look00:45:55
shaky out of turn one00:45:58
through two Brian fcker the race leader00:46:00
the top five guys Vickers Waltrip kenit00:46:04
Kyle Bush and Jeff Gordon took just two00:46:06
tires on the recent stop somebody said00:46:09
that could happen but now we'll see how00:46:11
good these cars you know lot of times we00:46:13
see a car get out front when it gets out00:46:15
front in that clean air it's hard to00:46:17
pass and it's fast so we'll see how good00:46:19
Elliot saddler's car is right now as00:46:21
well as Mayfield cuz they've got some00:46:23
traffic ahead of them look at M Ken with00:46:25
that 17 car where did he come from two00:46:28
tires stopped and he had been marching00:46:30
through the field Marty I just talked to00:46:33
Robbie Riser and asked him why the two00:46:35
tires he said why not the two tires all00:46:37
we need is a little track I think the00:46:39
car is good I think one of our biggest00:46:41
problems is we're back in traffic and00:46:43
that makes the car tighter so we want to00:46:44
get him up front get him some clean air00:46:46
and see if he can run up front obviously00:46:48
he can doesn't look like those that two00:46:51
Tire stop is working very well for the00:46:52
15 car of Michael Walter Here Comes00:46:55
Elliot side of the 38 on the side of00:46:57
Jeff Gordon and I think we're going to00:46:59
see a lot of that right there in the00:47:00
next five or six laps that' be Elliot00:47:02
out passing CS00:47:04
[Music]00:47:08
yes Allan how about it well if you've00:47:12
got a car that you think is trou00:47:15
trouble left front tire flat isn't it00:47:18
the caution is out no gu it00:47:21
isn't contact with Kurt bush is what00:47:24
we're00:47:25
hearing00:47:27
yeah that's a save there spinning here00:47:31
not hit anything at Indianapolis I got00:47:33
on the bre and it just started00:47:36
left the00:47:38
97 got in saved it all the way through00:47:42
he's got some damage here right over the00:47:43
left front he's going to have to get00:47:44
fixed so that tire probably will rub the00:47:47
left look at how low the left front is00:47:50
that's looks like it's flat Casey MIRS00:47:52
put this car in the wall yesterday on00:47:54
his qualifying attempt here there are00:47:56
three three wide going down in turn00:47:59
three he oh just made a little contact00:48:02
with the 97 car as he said enough to get00:48:05
him out of shape man look at that one he00:48:07
didn't hit anything that is a great00:48:10
save that is unbelievable what that00:48:14
is well we got a new hero00:48:17
say that's what Rusty tried to do00:48:20
yesterday in qualifying but00:48:23
failed Jeff Green will be the lucky dog00:48:25
Kyle Busch was good on that last restart00:48:28
nice job by00:48:31
[Music]00:48:38
him Dave Bill remember during the last00:48:41
Pit Stop we talked about how Casey's car00:48:43
started very loose on the runs and came00:48:45
to him during the latter part of the run00:48:47
that was the same thing that was00:48:48
happening here they didn't make any00:48:49
changes the last time Casey likes it00:48:51
that way but when you're cutting it that00:48:53
close you have to really be careful on00:48:54
the beginning parts of the Run yeah he00:48:57
actually looks like he just misjudged a00:48:59
little bit when the 97 car of Kur push00:49:01
went by he turned down and it looked00:49:03
like he just misjudged a little bit and00:49:05
got into the 9700:49:07
there that was today here's a look at00:49:10
what happened to Casey00:49:12
yesterday his qualifying lap00:49:16
yep bam but he was going for it he had00:49:19
the fastest time in practice he wanted00:49:22
another pole for the00:49:23
Brickyard family watching originally00:49:26
they started to get the backup car off00:49:28
the truck and then decided they could00:49:30
repair the car that he had wrecked some00:49:33
teams going to take this opportunity to00:49:36
come back to Pit Road including00:49:40
Casey most of the leaders stay out we00:49:42
check in with Matt on Dale erard J not00:49:44
the day that Dale Jr had hoped for right00:49:46
side tires only what they're scheduled00:49:49
to do on this stop now bill they have00:49:50
gone back and forth trying to find the00:49:52
balance Junior says the car is better00:49:55
but not a lot he says it's still really00:49:57
tight we only fixed about 10% of the00:49:59
problem the air pressure adjustment on00:50:01
the last stop was going in the right00:50:03
direction they're going to do more of00:50:04
that on this00:50:06
stop bill you sure Matt they looked like00:50:09
the crew guys wanted to change four on00:50:10
that one and they dropped the Jack and00:50:12
junior took off well that's what they00:50:15
told him before he hit Pit Road two00:50:18
tires on this stop maybe they were doing00:50:20
an audible and Junior just did not get00:50:21
the communication Lo like there's a00:50:23
little confusion there some guys00:50:25
definitely thought they were changing00:50:27
for the Jackman being one of them yeah00:50:30
so Dale Earnhart Jr returns to the track00:50:32
Brian vicker's leads can Elliot Sadler00:50:35
get back to the front 43 drivers under00:50:38
pressure at00:50:42
Indianapolis the All State 400 at the00:50:44
Brickyard is brought to you by the Ford00:50:46

$250,000 and by bugwiser the official00:51:03
beer of NASCAR grab a cold one the race00:51:06
is00:51:08
on and Allan you're correct the race is00:51:12
on green flag and last time we00:51:15
saw Kyle Busch get out of line to avoid00:51:18
hitting the car in front of him Jeff00:51:19
Gordon made the legal pass on the inside00:51:21
so both drivers made a good move Now00:51:23
Matt kenit looks for the lead inside of00:51:25
Brian Vickers hands it and the 17 to the00:51:30
point lose another one picker had to go00:51:33
a little bit high once K it's went in00:51:36
and lost his momentum might lose a00:51:38
couple of spots here right Kyle Bush to00:51:40
five cars going for second spot and look00:51:43
like Michael Walter the ball back in00:51:45
third Allan how about Vickers he say00:51:48
anything uh not since the restart he's00:51:50
got his hands full a little bit BP but00:51:52
just a thought on why they took two00:51:53
tires it wasn't what you were thinking00:51:55
just the track position thing the screw00:51:57
Chief Lance grew told me they're already00:51:59
thinking about the last pit stop in the00:52:01
race back timing two tires four tires00:52:05
two tires four tires and so on so they00:52:07
can they know they can just take those00:52:09
right side tires on that last pit at the00:52:12
end of the race can you believe they're00:52:13
thinking about that already so obviously00:52:15
Allan those guys aren't having any Tire00:52:17
issues at all right no the only guy on00:52:19
my end of Pit Road that I saw with any00:52:21
right front issue at all was Ken Shader00:52:23
and there was just barely a little Mark00:52:25
on that inside shoulder of his right00:52:26
front everybody's tires off that first00:52:28

24 of Gordon the 29 of Hari around the00:52:35
15 and here comes Biffle Michael did he00:52:38
ever a had a steam in that 16 car or00:52:42
what Harvick trying to make the move on00:52:45
Gordon down on the low00:52:46
side and you know you do get a little00:52:48
bit of drafting00:52:50
here Matt on Biffle both the 29 of00:52:54
Harvick and the 16 of biffl bille00:52:56
acquisition move they go took on two00:52:59
tires in their last stop Todd barrier00:53:01
the 29 cie said we want to try it now to00:53:04
see if that's the move we want to do00:53:05
later and also the same thing for Doug00:53:08
Richard said our car had been tight they00:53:10
needed the track position trying to get00:53:12
out of that dirty air get into a little00:53:14
more cleaner air to help the nose of00:53:15
that car well I tell you what casy Kane00:53:18
made those guys pay for running side by00:53:20
side didn't he talking about the 16 and00:53:22
29 15 and 29 W neim trying to get by00:53:26
jemy00:53:27
Mayfield and Jimmy Johnson the00:53:29
championship leader trying to bust a00:53:31
move so the 19 is struggling a little00:53:33

air like he did00:53:37
earlier Johnson started back in00:53:41
[Music]00:53:46
38 Dave this 48 car has had a terrific00:53:49
run so far really did and Chad Canal00:53:52
reminded us yesterday when we talked to00:53:53
him after that qualifying debacle that00:53:55
his team really responds well to00:53:57
adversity they've done it again today as00:53:59
Jimmy goes a little bit high and that00:54:01
car is just losing the nose a little bit00:54:03
off the corner earlier that was the00:54:04
problem they were having Marty Dave Tony00:54:06
Stewart's trying to work his way back up00:54:07
through the field after the most recent00:54:09
pit stops he restarted 20th he's up to00:54:11
the 14th position right now the car was00:54:14
extremely tight for Tony so what they00:54:16
did plenty of things added a rubber to00:54:18
the right rear a pound out of both left00:54:20
side tires a round of wedge out and a00:54:22
pound in the right rear tire trying to00:54:24
get that car better for Tony it's very00:54:26
at the beginning of a run but it just00:54:27
goes too tight too quickly he seeing a00:54:30
heck of a race out the windshield is he00:54:33
fou look like casy K is going to get00:54:35
inside of Harvick make00:54:37

strong car today yeah he may have a00:54:56
strong engine Wally but he's struggling00:54:58
a little bit in the corners right now I00:54:59
just talked to Robbie Lumis the crew00:55:00
chief he said in traffic the front end00:55:03
of their car doesn't want to turn like00:55:04
Jeff needs it to you know that old Arrow00:55:07
push thing you can describe what that00:55:08
means he's right in the middle of it00:55:10
right now and that's what we're seeing00:55:11
with a lot of these guys to get back in00:55:13
traffic they just don't have the down00:55:15
force on the front of their car so their00:55:17
cars won't turn when you're out there by00:55:19
yourself or you don't have a lot of cars00:55:21
around you your car is going to handle a00:55:23
lot00:55:24
better name check the zero one car able00:55:27
to get by Biffle but guess what he got00:55:28
the cor Biffle 56 back00:55:32
by meanwhile Vickers up to Second Kyle00:55:35
bus to third behind leader Matt00:55:38

traffic there he goes on the inside of00:56:07
Michael wal up in 15 tell what army car00:56:10
is strong and here comes Jeremy Mayfield00:56:13
back in the 19 Car Michael just looks00:56:15
like in that 15 car he's having a hard00:56:19
time Alan what's going on with 15 cars00:56:22
well Wally that story I told about Jeff00:56:24
Gordon just a minute ago okay same thing00:56:27
ditto Michael walri having a tough time00:56:29
with front and grip in traffic not00:56:32
enough air on the nose and you know the00:56:33
other thing guys the cloud cover has00:56:35
really thickened here the temperature00:56:37
outside has cooled a little bit that's00:56:39
great for the guys down here on Pit Road00:56:41
but it's changing the handling on some00:56:42
of these00:56:44
cars yeah that's probably going to make00:56:47
the cars push even worse well we saw it00:56:49
just yesterday in qualifying the00:56:51
temperature change affecting race00:56:55
cars R the 21 car Clos on the back of00:56:58
Jeff Gordon 24 and there's Mike Bliss00:57:00
and the zero a terrific run today for00:57:03
Bliss he's running 15th Last Time by00:57:05
took two tires on his last stop there's00:57:07
Bliss in the zero00:57:10
[Music]00:57:12
car Mark Martin in the sixth car some of00:57:15
these guys just haven't made the gains00:57:17
we thought they would once they got back00:57:19
in traffic Mark had a really strong car00:57:22
early but he's just kind of hanging out00:57:25
in that 15th 18th spot right now and00:57:28
these guys that took two tires have been00:57:31
stronger than we00:57:32
thought there we Jeff Gordon losing00:57:35
another spot to00:57:37
Bliss uhoh we got a problem on left00:57:40
front or left00:57:41
[Music]00:57:42
rear y he just came on the radio said it00:57:45
blew it blew it Ryan Pim said I know I00:57:48
saw it it's the left front for the 0100:57:50
that's what three today so far yep they00:57:54
have had the worst way down00:57:58
and that's the thing these tires are00:57:59
going today the frontend off and the00:58:02
hood00:58:03
[Applause]00:58:05
up and a lot of other stuff too I'm sure00:58:08
when they get you know some if the tire00:58:11
goes down you can catch it you can get00:58:12
in and get a tire change without tearing00:58:14
the car up but we haven't seen that00:58:15
today no they're going to the left front00:58:18
tire will have to go flat in this short00:58:19
shoot between three and four to save the00:58:22
race car it happened so quickly well00:58:25
remember what happened here here last00:58:26
year Sterling Marlin cut one down00:58:28
decided not to come on the Pit Road00:58:30
tried to make a lap caught the car on00:58:31
fire I remember that and then Robbie did00:58:34
the same thing yeah you see he knows the00:58:36
tire's flat right now and you can see00:58:38
some smoke but you're going so fast he's00:58:41
trying to get down to the inside of the00:58:42
racetrack guys see him he's got a00:58:44
problem but you're still going so fast00:58:46
when that tire goes flat it just starts00:58:48
ripping00:58:52
apart Ryan pton is watching the video00:58:56
sees the left00:58:57
front wait till he sees it really come00:59:00
apart00:59:02
Marty oh man I don't know if you guys00:59:04
can see all the damage but I mean00:59:05
there's a ton of it on the left front00:59:07
for Joe neek and literally five laps00:59:09
before the tire happened he had radio to00:59:11
the creu said this car is getting very00:59:13
very good and we had just talked about00:59:15
how fast the 01 car was w-e and now this00:59:19
yeah that's the problem we talk about00:59:21
low air pressure but the lower the air00:59:23
pressure the better the cars handle00:59:24
exactly that's why we talked about how00:59:26
good that car looked in traffic00:59:29
exactly doesn't look too good now does00:59:31
it doesn't look good at all sitting on a00:59:32
pit00:59:34
Lane that team has had a very rough00:59:37
season and they have had some of the00:59:39
world's worst00:59:42
luck okay decision time Pit Road or no00:59:45
Pit Road two tires four tires fuel00:59:48
they're coming Yep they're all coming00:59:51
now what we going to do two four well00:59:53
let's watch and find out 50 8 laps are01:00:00
complete the field down Pit Road at01:00:03
Indianapolis mat 2003 winner Kevin01:00:06
Harvick making his way down Pit Road now01:00:09
they played a strategic move went with a01:00:11
two Tire plan on the last stop gained a01:00:14
lot of track position the car still01:00:16
tight they're going to make a slight air01:00:18
pressure adjustment to free it up Marty01:00:21
leader Matt kin in the 17 car top of01:00:23
your screen he said I want a half round01:00:24
of wedge in the car just a little bit01:00:26
tight for kenith they debated on two01:00:28
again but decided four Allan Brian01:00:31
vicker is going to get four tires in01:00:32
fuel a small air pressure adjustment to01:00:34
try and help the car turn better in the01:00:36
corners good01:00:38
stop Championship leader Jimmy Johnson01:00:41
made a four tire stop he said my car01:00:43
pushes off the corner about a six on a01:00:44
scale to 10 so that he made a big track01:00:46
bar adjustment on the01:00:48
48 look at Kurt Bush came out 10th01:00:51
gained 10 positions on that looks like01:00:54
Mayfield might have changed two tires in01:00:56
19 trying to get that track position 3801:00:59
car two tires yes sir so we'll sort this01:01:02
out a variety of strategies playing out01:01:05
in the 12th running of the All State 40001:01:07
at the Brickyard you're watching NASCAR01:01:09
on01:01:12
NBC an early race Contender Ricky Rd on01:01:15
Pit Road carburetor issues L wood of the01:01:18
Wood Brothers quickly changing the01:01:20
carburetor trying to beat the pace car01:01:22
in the field as they're in the middle of01:01:24
three and four getting ready ready to01:01:26
come out of four they're thrashing so01:01:27
they do not lose a lap an early01:01:29
contender in this race until a number of01:01:32
teams took on the two Tire strategy they01:01:34
stuck with01:01:35
four they're coming down the front01:01:37
stretch trying to get the air cleaner01:01:39
back on you can hear fatback yelling at01:01:41
the team hurry01:01:43
hurry the car has fired the pace car's01:01:46
going by they've got to get the rest of01:01:49
the hood pins in he's away is he going01:01:50
to beat him01:01:54
Bill well watch but I don't believe he01:01:56
will the stop sign should be out when he01:01:59
gets there so he's going to speed he's01:02:00
going to beat him but we saw Dar Jr do01:02:03
the same thing you have the stop sign01:02:05
out oh yeah y so he knows too Rick he01:02:09
knows well may as well get to the01:02:12
end we saw D Junior Pocono do the same01:02:15
thing speed down Pit Road and NASCAR01:02:17
says wait a minute you can't do that to01:02:19
evade a PTY yeah so he's too fast01:02:22
exiting didn't accomplish what he needed01:02:24
to do I got come back do01:02:29
anything 1997 winner of the Brickyard01:02:33
400 Travis qule the lucky01:02:37
dog under that caution now watch this01:02:41

out right now but a little while ago01:02:47
this is racing with biffl in the 16 this01:02:49
guy's made contact and you can see01:02:50
Michael wasn't real happy with it she's01:02:52
going Michael what are you doing Tak his01:02:55
hand out the window01:02:56
yeah I made the observation that the01:02:58
nine car used that 15 and 16 racing side01:03:01
by side to pass both of01:03:04
them there's Biffle five time winner01:03:06
this year Michael walri two-time Daytona01:03:08
50001:03:10
winner Marty bill in 2006 Ford will01:03:14
introduce the fusion to NASCAR racing01:03:16
but you can buy it in September if you01:03:18
want to and this past Tuesday Dell01:03:20
Jarrett continued the Ford approval01:03:22
process with NASCAR as he tested the new01:03:24
Fusion at the Atlanta Motor Speedway of01:03:27
course it's new Ford's first new name01:03:28
plate since 1968 and here's what DJ had01:03:31
to say about that01:03:34
[Music]01:03:35
test the fusion seemed to be a car01:03:38
that's well balanced something that we01:03:40
were looking for that would be good01:03:42
entering the corner and and through the01:03:44
center of the corner and exit uh I was01:03:46
very pleased with that uh the car didn't01:03:47
seem to fall off much in a 10 laap run01:03:49
and that's what we were looking to01:03:50
achieve had the speed at the beginning01:03:52
uh to to run well so I was very pleased01:03:54
with the new Fusion01:03:57
[Music]01:04:00
field coming around to get the green01:04:02
flag Unis Casey MIRS the race leader did01:04:06
not01:04:08
pit and I don't expect him to be there01:04:11
TR Jun hard in the inside wall back01:04:13
across the RAC track got TRX hits his01:04:16
teammate TR01:04:17
X and TRX was there because of a01:04:20
speeding violation and that's what01:04:22
happens when you get sometimes when you01:04:23
make a mistake in the pits kaui out on01:04:26
the racetrack and this will be huge for01:04:28
Junior's Championship Chase chances this01:04:31
this is pretty much it for it he had to01:04:35
really come out of this race with a good01:04:38
good day to keep their chances alive and01:04:40
this pretty much does them in and you01:04:42
guys had talked about how critical the01:04:43
restarts are here when we heard some of01:04:45
the drivers voicing their concerns about01:04:47
them we heard P talking to his SP Joel01:04:49
Edmund saying look tell me if they start01:04:52
Bo up in front of me let me01:04:54
know we also saw Kyle bus get out of the01:04:57
gas cuz he thought he was closing too01:04:59
fast that cost him a few01:05:01
positions he will head to the garage01:05:03
Ricky Rd will get a small positive break01:05:06
here he is the lucky dog the car we were01:05:08
watching a moment ago on Pit Road if he01:05:11
wasn't involved in the crash yes because01:05:13
he was very close to the crash and might01:05:15
have been involved talking about Ricky01:05:16
rud in the 21 there's the Scott Wimer01:05:19
automobile he did make some01:05:21
contact all right let's go back and take01:05:23
a look like an accordion here we see if01:05:25
we can see what happens it looks like01:05:28
it's Ain exactly cars go then they slow01:05:30
down and the cars in the back didn't see01:05:32
the guys up ahead slowing down and start01:05:35
running into each other like 21 was able01:05:38
to get by without01:05:39
any watch how this closes up in front of01:05:42
Dale Jr he thinks everybody's01:05:44
accelerating you can't see like I said01:05:46
oh he got turned he got run into y he01:05:48
sure did but the thing is like I said01:05:50
earlier you can't see one or two cars01:05:53
ahead I think maybe that was Mike01:05:55
Skinner by behind them with when he01:05:57
checked up have got in the back of it01:05:59
it's all the same thing it's still01:06:00
Accord just was a big accordion he01:06:03
slowed01:06:10
down we're not sure who got the back of01:06:12
them but obviously somebody did get the01:06:14
back of01:06:15
them R just slipping by on the inside01:06:18
Robbie Gordon got a piece of it Boris01:06:20
said might have gotten a little bit of01:06:23
it let's take one more look01:06:28
again that would be Mike Skinner 2301:06:32
skner01:06:33
is there's Robbie with nowhere to go oh01:06:36
Robbie 2x Wimer Boris got through01:06:40
cleanly in the 36 there's rud sneaking01:06:47
by and this is what the people sitting01:06:49
in turn four saw and Trux is saying No01:06:52
this G01:06:54
me and I was racing at Indie oh I'm not01:06:56
racing at Indie01:06:59
anymore now TRX walks back into the01:07:01
garage oh that's a lonely01:07:03
[Music]01:07:07
feeling the restarts here have always01:07:10
been pretty tricky you have so many cars01:07:13
still on the lead01:07:15
lap and you can't pull out of line nope01:07:17
till you get past the start Vish01:07:22
line Pit Road is closed here but the01:07:25
pace car will bring the field down Pit01:07:27
Road so they don't have to drive through01:07:29
the debris on the front stretch right01:07:32
now nhart Jr is 16th in the championship01:07:34
standings he was 15th before the last01:07:37
lap was01:07:40
completed and you're right Wally this is01:07:43
about the end of his chances Chase for01:07:45
the next T cup really didn't need to01:07:47
lose a 80 points 100 points whatever01:07:50
he's going to wind up losing this is01:07:52
going to be pretty much impossible make01:07:55
up and not only is he going to lose01:07:57
points but a bunch of guys because it's01:07:58
so tightly bunched back there are going01:08:00
to go past him in the championship01:08:03
standings but the8 car like the 24 car01:08:07
their concern the rest of the year now01:08:08
is not making the NASCAR next Del cup01:08:11
getting in this eight car competitive01:08:12
again where he's running up front each01:08:14
and every week Greg Biffle gives a lot01:08:17
of credit to his success this year01:08:19
saying this Championship run actually01:08:21
began late last year because they were01:08:23
so strong and it's paying off for Biff01:08:25
in the chase for the championship under01:08:27
caution here in the All State 400 at01:08:30
Indianapolis Casey MIRS is scored as the01:08:33
race leader you're watching NASCAR on01:08:39
NBC NBC Sports Live at the Indianapolis01:08:42
Motor Speedway for the 12th running of01:08:44
the All State 400 at the Brickyard still01:08:46
under caution clean up for a multi-car01:08:49
crash involving Dale nhart01:08:52
Jr and a handful of others time now for01:08:56
the singular race talk 1,31 challenge01:08:59
Rusty Wallace has gone 48 races without01:09:02
a victory in his last Brickyard 40001:09:05
today where will Rusty go to Victory01:09:07
Lane next will it be today will it be01:09:09
next week on the road course at Watkins01:09:11
Clint maybe later two weeks in Michigan01:09:14

race to 1 191 on your Singular Wireless01:09:29
phone or go to nascar.com you might win01:09:32
$131 I meant to say my01:09:35
choice in those01:09:38
four we're under caution because of01:09:42
multicar incident on the restart coming01:09:44
to the green flag01:09:46
here and it it's a very slow restart01:09:50
they accelerate but as well I talked01:09:52
about there's such an according effect01:09:54
by the time it gets back junior he slows01:09:57
the car behind him Mike Skinner can't01:09:58
slow down fast enough runs in the back01:10:00
of him and then the RAC track being very01:10:03
narrow pretty soon five car the they01:10:05
thre the green about three car Lanes01:10:07
before I got to the double red line so01:10:09
it kind of threw me off guard I think I01:10:11
put St everybody up the guys in middle01:10:12
of the pack start going because they01:10:13
hear the green flags out and leaders01:10:15
haven't gone yet and see that's what I01:10:17
was going to just say the guys in the01:10:18
back are accelerating faster and sooner01:10:21
than the guys in the front and that's01:10:22
what happens that was Casey Mir01:10:26
basically explaining his situation Dale01:10:28
Earnhart Jr reportedly unhappy with the01:10:30
slow pace of the restart we saw an01:10:32
incident to this very similar in this01:10:34
race a year ago Dave Burns I'm with chip01:10:37
kassie now Chip you've watched the01:10:39
restart you watched it live as well did01:10:41
you see anything a little slow about it01:10:43
or wrong with the way Casey led the01:10:44
field to Green yeah no you know Dave01:10:46
you're coming down at the pace car speed01:10:48
and the acceleration cone and the green01:10:51
flag is in front of the acceleration01:10:52
cone you you can't go anywhere till you01:10:54
see the green flag I think they're a01:10:56
little late on the green flag so it01:10:58
pretty much backs up what you guys have01:10:59
talked about and and something else let me show01:11:02
you at restart once again look at the01:11:05
big gap between the 42 car and the car01:11:08
behind him or the car in front of01:11:11
him see look at that look at that Rusty01:11:14
Walsh is up there and there must be five01:11:15
or six car links between Rusty and Jamie01:11:18
McMurray but yeah and NASCAR asked the01:11:22
42 car to stay closed up and something01:11:23
else you'll see with those veterans they01:11:25
won't necessarily be directly behind the01:11:27
car in front of them they'll kind of01:11:29
cheat one way or the other if they can01:11:30
in case some trouble breaks out Marty01:11:33
delard Junior has come from the infield01:11:35
care center and uh what happened on the01:11:36
restart Junior um Everybody took off and01:11:39
then everybody stopped and uh when I01:11:40
stopped I got ran into um it's hard to01:11:43
see when you're way back in the back you01:11:45
know what the leaders are doing but uh01:11:47
they called the green flag and I was01:11:48
waiting for Bill to go and when Bill01:11:50
took off then I took off we stopped01:11:53
again and I think I don't think skinners01:11:54
knew what was was going on and and uh or01:11:56
whoever was behind me whatever I think01:11:58
it was Skinner but just got turned into01:11:59
the wall so I don't know my one my SPID01:12:03
said that the leader uh break checked on01:12:06
restart but I don't know I haven't seen01:12:07
anything this is a devastating blow in01:12:09
terms of the championship is it over01:12:10
Junior man I just hope I don't have to01:12:12
get back in that piece of crap today I01:12:14
hope I can go home but but in terms of01:12:16
Championship you lose a lot today uh01:12:18
well yeah obviously you know but that's01:12:20
life you got to deal with it good and01:12:22
bad so we'll be all right we I mean we01:12:25
if we make the chase we make if we don't01:12:26
we don't we still try to win some races01:12:27
for the years out he came in 110 points01:12:30
out of the chase but this will be a big01:12:31
hit Junior the best thing get in your01:12:33
rental car and leave then you won't have01:12:36
to get back in that car and drivers have01:12:37
done that before should we mention any01:12:39
name anybody that we know personally01:12:41
that we work with are you insinuating01:12:43
something you brought it up but the sad01:12:46
thing is I was in the garage area this01:12:48
morning they were rolling the front end01:12:50
of the eight car through the garage area01:12:52
getting it ready in case they needed01:12:55
a front end and two fenders like I said01:12:57
get in your car Junior try it01:13:00
out take a look at the championship01:13:02
standings as they run01:13:04
today Tony Stewart 30 points behind01:13:07
Jimmy Johnson remember the top 1001:13:09
drivers in the championship standings01:13:11
after race number 26 at Richmond in01:13:13
September qualify for the chase to the01:13:16
next helicopter there also drivers01:13:18
within 400 points of the leader right01:13:20
now the 400 point mark is not a factor01:13:23
but you can look at these other guys01:13:26
Dale Jarrett has had so far has not run01:13:29
well today has backed up one spot to01:13:32
11th Murray in the 42 has gone up to the01:13:35
10th01:13:38
spot fi got the one to go last time by01:13:42
and we'll go green flag racing or at01:13:44
least try to This Time01:13:46

restarts are tough when you're back 15th01:15:15
to 35th and you'll see the cars the01:15:17
drivers will move to the left a little01:15:18
bit so they can see down the racetrack01:15:21
and and have to avoid the guy in front01:15:23
of them if something boxes up but it's01:15:24
very very hard to see at this R01:15:31
back Casey Kane the nine c look like he01:15:35
had visions of passing Elliot01:15:37
Sadler that would be a new01:15:42
story here01:15:45
Saddler GES Vickers underneath in the 2501:15:48
car taking the spot for Mark Martin Tony01:15:51
scort Kyle Bush looking to follow him01:15:53
through here comes Casey k01:15:56
that watch out looked like that 38 cars01:16:00
an unbeatable rocket but he is passed by01:16:03
Casey Kane and Tony01:16:06
Stewart keep's trying to get on the01:16:08
inside of Vickers could quite make01:16:11

J was just talking to me about what a01:16:33
great car you had today but what01:16:34
happened on that restart Martin oh I01:16:36
don't know uh just something happened up01:16:38
front and we all checked up and I was up01:16:40
by the wall and uh Junior com back01:16:42
across right in front of me hit me left01:16:43
front so just unfortunate we were having01:16:46
a decent run there we uh we took us a01:16:48
few laps to get going and uh once once01:16:50
that was you know after 5 10 laps we01:16:52
were good we could run past some cars01:16:53
and uh I having a lot of fun out there01:16:55
but it wasn't meant to be today I got to01:16:58
thank uh pops and all them guys beo and01:17:00
everybody over there working on the one01:17:01
car and Bono and all the guys on my01:17:03
chance 2 team that come over and pitted01:17:05
it everybody's doing a good job we were01:17:07
having some fun and uh car was pretty01:17:09
decent but it wasn't meant to be won the01:17:10
race last night out early today at the01:17:12
big race all right here we go 38 car01:17:15
Elliot Sadler trying to take over second01:17:18
spot from Casey Mir the 4101:17:22
car I think Saddler saw Casey go by and01:17:25
have to sit up in a seat a little bit01:17:27
straighter so this is not going to be as01:17:30
easy as I thought it01:17:36
was gain one at Richmond earlier this01:17:40
year and the nine races since only one01:17:43
top 1501:17:44
[Music]01:17:47
finish Mayfields going to pick off Casey01:17:50
MIRS here matter of time Jeremy in the01:17:52
19 car man those Dodges are looking good01:17:55
though and the last time most of the01:17:57
field pitted MIRS did01:17:59
[Music]01:18:02

third M kenit trying to get a look01:18:15
wow that's where your spotter comes in01:18:18
letting you know that there's a guy01:18:20
making a move on you 41 is just wishing01:18:24
he had some tires isn't he Dave well of01:18:26
course the game here was that they had01:18:28
started in the rear made their way about01:18:30
halfway through the field up to the01:18:31
front and then had that contact with01:18:33
Kurt Busch that brought out the caution01:18:35
and sent them to the rear so they had to01:18:37
play a track position game and now it's01:18:39
just a calculated risk to say how long01:18:41
can we stay near the front until01:18:43
everyone pits again right vicker's01:18:45
washing up there a little bit Yeah and01:18:48
Tony Stewart got by him in the 2001:18:51
and K Bush in the five car got by him01:18:55
[Music]01:19:02
looks like it was a good move on Casey01:19:04
Mir Jimmy ell cring on this 41 car01:19:07
they're up front they have some track01:19:08
position the way things are going about01:19:10
25 laps we're going to have another01:19:12
caution flag so they can come in and01:19:13
change Tire hopefully it's not that yeah01:19:15
with the tire01:19:17
issues there is a report they looking at01:19:20
the 48 Car Jimmy Johnson for a possible01:19:23
Tire r01:19:26
Tony Stewart oh looking under01:19:31
ears still looking still01:19:35
pedling he's01:19:37
there01:19:39
Hardy you just got to give some credit01:19:41
to these Home Depot guys they have made01:19:43
this car better for Tony Stewart01:19:45
remember early in the race it was01:19:46
extremely tight they've worked on it01:19:48
several changes on several stops and01:19:50
there's travel in the RAC trck with01:19:51
Jimmy Johnson the championship leader is01:19:53
around Gordon that's five and he doesn't01:19:56
hit anything I don't think I don't think01:19:59
he did either he the left front the left01:20:02
the veilance has pushed under just a01:20:05
little bit in front of the left front01:20:06
tire but that might have been when he01:20:08
was going around and around the spring01:20:09
is so soft I guess it went down and Drug01:20:11
a racetrack he spun here a year ago and01:20:13
didn't hit anybody down in turn one how01:20:15
do you do that I never spun in my life I01:20:18
didn't was going to say the same01:20:23
thing01:20:25
[Music]01:20:27

[Music]01:20:43
Johnson hey Jimmy down on the01:20:48
bottom looks like he just I don't know01:20:51
it looks like he jumped on the gas and01:20:52
got loose yeah hey look at this RI R01:20:55
hard contact with the wall you make it01:20:58
around you got to have a record when did01:20:59
that01:21:02
happen there's a backstretch right there01:21:04
turn two so he must have uh he must have01:21:07
gotten the smoke or something01:21:09
and cuz you couldn't see anything behind01:21:11
Jimmy when he01:21:12
was the window net is down so Rick's01:21:16
okay moving around 48 on Pit Road Dave01:21:18
an update just on and off Pit Road four01:21:20
tires for Jimmy Johnson guys thank01:21:23
you01:21:29
he's got a lot of damage he's calling01:21:30
out there he's01:21:34
done one here in01:21:37
1997 with the team he01:21:41
owned let's see if we can see what01:21:43
happened to Rudd a wave to the01:21:47
fans there's the 4801:21:50
[Music]01:21:53
spin01:21:55
I'm guessing Ricky let up and somebody01:21:57
else01:21:59
didn't that's the safer barrier right01:22:01
there on the right hand side of your01:22:03
screen the softer wall I think he missed01:22:06
it well I guess he did hit it01:22:09
initially see all let's see if we can01:22:12
see behind the 48 Car just at the very01:22:15
top look at how much smoke these guys01:22:17
are driving into that smoke and they01:22:18
cannot see a01:22:22
thing hard to tell he might have had01:22:24
some he might have had some contact01:22:26
there was another car around now whether01:22:27
or01:22:28
not he made contact with the 21 I01:22:31
couldn't tell there's one guy that01:22:32
probably knows for sure yeah we'll ask01:22:34
him maybe yes sir yeah this is going to01:22:36
be a good picture here of smoke this01:22:39
going to01:22:40
[Music]01:22:51
hurt and the track Cleanup Crew out01:22:56
there to get the 21 back to the garage01:22:59
Dave okay now they're going to do some01:23:01
adjustments on the 48 car they've talked01:23:03
about it throughout this Pit Stop01:23:04
they're going to take some spring01:23:05
rubbers out of that left rear tire which01:23:07
is something that will uh make that car01:23:09
just a little bit looser but to01:23:10
compensate for that they're going to01:23:12
lower the track bar they've already done01:23:13
that which is on the right side of the01:23:15
car they want to balance it a little bit01:23:16
differently Jimmy's not been happy with01:23:18
the handling of this car especially in01:23:19
turns one and two and it was off turn01:23:21
two that he's01:23:22
fun well jimmmy Johnson came in here01:23:25
with a 66o lead in the championship01:23:27
standings a lot of talk this weekend01:23:29
about Tony Stewart winning at the01:23:32
Brickyard right now with Johnson01:23:34
struggling Tony Stewart leads the01:23:36
championship standings by 43 points over01:23:41
Johnson and Stewart is running fifth so01:23:43
could you imagine the size of the party01:23:47
if Stewart wins here tonight it takes01:23:49
over the lead in the championship01:23:50
standings that Dairy Queen's not going01:23:52
to be big01:23:53
enough01:23:56
Pit Road is open we'll see what01:23:58
happens so Jimmy has been making these01:24:01
stops without Pit Road being open I01:24:03
right so he'll start at the tail end of01:24:05
the longest line which is 3 I don't01:24:08
think there's going to be a lot of guys01:24:09
coming in some of the guys in the middle01:24:10
maybe towards the back I don't think the01:24:13
leaders will be01:24:15
in when you're rubbing your tires like01:24:17
that keeping them warm that means a nine01:24:20
car is not coming01:24:21
in 41 now you can't afford to bit01:24:24
because he'll go back to01:24:26
[Music]01:24:28
39 well I guess he is going to bit01:24:34
and here they come O P back01:24:41
out Dave Casey Mir who had fallen back01:24:45
just a bit of the field needed to make01:24:46
some adjustments to that car because it01:24:48
wanted to spin out they will add air to01:24:49
the left front tire that will help four01:24:52
tire change for the right and red number01:24:54
41 Matt and the 29 of Harvick is in01:24:57
possible fuel only for Mark Martin01:24:59
meanwhile they're going to make a two-01:25:00
tire change for Harvick as Martin is01:25:02
already01:25:04
away fueling up there a little bit of01:25:06
trouble there in the left front fender01:25:08
pulling it out Al Brian Vickers comes in01:25:11
he is going to take four tires on this01:25:12
Pit Stop surrounded by Michael walri and01:25:15
Jeff Gordon both in Gordon in behind01:25:17
Vickers getting also four tires looks01:25:19
like they had some problems on the stop01:25:21
having problems on the stop long time on01:25:23
the right side of to the 24 car we'll01:25:25
follow up and see what happened looks01:25:27
like they were doing a spring rubber01:25:28
there uh Allan in the right rear all01:25:31
right well I'll follow up and just01:25:33
double check Michael Waltrip also on Pit01:25:39
Road and Allen the way as long as it01:25:42
took on the right rear they might have01:25:43
been installing one of those spring01:25:45
rubbers inside the spring rather than01:25:47
taking one out yeah when you take one01:25:49
out it's it's a rather easy thing to do01:25:52
but sliding one between the two coils01:25:54
difficult so the top six drivers elect01:25:57
to say stay on the track but behind them01:26:01
some fresh rubber on some pretty fast01:26:03
cars the championship leader spinning01:26:05
out of control Rd in the wall at01:26:12
Indianapolis 77 laps completed the01:26:15
brickyard and here's what you've seen so01:26:18
far Elliot Saddler took him to the green01:26:23
flag ignition system goes sour it goes01:26:26
to a backup and everything is okay LA 2301:26:30
Robbie Hamilton Jr cuts a left front one01:26:33
of three that we'll see today so01:26:37
far lap 38 is Jeff Green the 43 car that01:26:40
has a left front01:26:42
problem01:26:44
47 save of the day so far Acy01:26:52
MIRS Joe nean a left front tire in the01:26:55
01 car and it just tears a left front01:26:57
fender off the01:26:58
car restart on lap 63 Mike skner bumps01:27:02
into the rear Dale nhart Jr puts Junior01:27:05
into the wall and for now out of the01:27:10
race Here Comes Jimmy Johnson looks like01:27:13
his car was just a little bit loose on01:27:14
throttle he spins around doesn't hit01:27:18
anything but unfortunately Ricky Rudd01:27:21
behind this did hit the wall very hard01:27:28
there must be a very tiny cameraman on01:27:30
that camera over there don't you01:27:32
think here's our Napa field summary six01:27:35
leaders six caution Flags01:27:38
already 26 caution01:27:41
laps and Martin Truex Jr and Dale nhart01:27:44
Jr are out of the01:27:49
race Allan well let's take a minute01:27:52
while it's sort of quiet down here on01:27:54
Road and talk with Todd parrot took two01:27:55
tires a couple of cautions ago stayed01:27:57
out the last two your thoughts on where01:27:59
you stand strategically in this thing01:28:01
well I feel like the cars that were01:28:02
racing the N9 the 19 the 17 and the uh01:28:05
the 20 back there um you know tire wear01:28:07
seems to be getting better and track01:28:09
position so important as the old saying01:28:11
goes caution breed cautions and uh track01:28:14
position so important we just want to01:28:15
stay up there in clean air uh our car is01:28:17
really good out front the nine cars01:28:19
really good so just hopefully we can uh01:28:21
get to LP 160 and be out front with this01:28:24
for we've had a great day the guys in01:28:26
the pits have been Flawless just these01:28:27
races get crazy right here at this point01:28:29
in the race so uh just had to stay tuned01:28:31
yeah I when I climbed up here Todd said01:28:33
man I hate races like this and I said I01:28:35
know you're trying to keep up with01:28:36
what's what we'll see what happens here01:28:37
on the restart coming to get the green01:28:39

the back of the field the end of the01:29:17
longest line for a commitment lane01:29:20

car when he got the turn three Jimmy01:29:28
Johnson also went to the back of the01:29:30
field for pitting too soon Matt on car01:29:33
29 they were only going to take two01:29:35
tires in that stop until they got the01:29:37
commitment line violation they took the01:29:40
opportunity bills and fix the left front01:29:42
veilance now Harvick can hit the curbing01:29:44
down in turn one which pushed that01:29:46
Fender damaged it causing more of a01:29:49
tight condition they tried working on01:29:51
that knowing he's going to be back in01:29:52
dirty air hopefully that will help him01:29:54
as he tries to make his way back to the01:29:56
front he lost 20 spots he just passed01:29:59
halfway and you would think this is one01:30:00
of like the five to go01:30:03
here everybody is fighting hard right01:30:05
now for position there's Ken shider in01:30:08
the 49 car going by Ryan01:30:10
Newman 49 car K ster has been good the01:30:15

losing the fender in the01:31:00
[Music]01:31:03
hood wal trip the long trip down Pit01:31:06

oh01:31:09
man only pick up the car01:31:12
guys crew will have to help raise the01:31:15
car because the tire's flat the Jack01:31:16
will not fit underneath01:31:19
it he'll go lap down but he'll be the01:31:22
only car one lap down so Che it up back01:31:25
back up back up get your ass over come01:31:28
on leader going by01:31:32
[Music]01:31:37

[Music]01:31:44
out that will drop him to01:31:47
39th but wer BR for a good point he's01:31:50

a little bit Dave one corner of the car01:32:17
BP the right front Kurt has called it01:32:20
inconsistent Jimmy fenning has gone to01:32:22
the notebook the one in his head and the01:32:24
one on his pit box they cannot figure01:32:26
out why the right front of that car01:32:28
isn't acting fast that's really the only01:32:30
thing that Kurt bush has been focused on01:32:32
all day and this isn't the car that he01:32:34
was so dominant at Pocono with I talked01:32:36
to him about it and he said that they01:32:37

when he pits he has to stay in neutral01:34:14
and then when the Jack drops he tries to01:34:16
jam it into gear and then leave Pit Road01:34:19
it could cause a lot of issues he tries01:34:21
to work the inside of Ryan Newman that's01:34:23
12 car there battling for the 14th01:34:26
position the 12 car got a little bit01:34:28

get uh it was very very hard to mash the01:35:48
gas pedal down and afraid it was going01:35:49
to stick and hang open wide open on us01:35:51
so they elected crew elected to change01:35:53
your carburetor which was a smart thing01:35:55
to do and shouldn't have to do it but01:35:56
they did it we lost the lap on Pit Road01:35:58
under yell um and we were able to get01:36:01
that back at the next caution because of01:36:02
the lucky dog award and everything was01:36:04
still going good we had a good pass good01:36:05
handling race car but we just had to01:36:07
make up ground and still had half the01:36:08
race to go and stting at the back and we01:36:10
ran about five six laps and uh caution01:36:12
comes out and whoever was behind me I01:36:14
don't know who it was uh didn't elect to01:36:16
slow down when the cing came out just01:36:18

extremely tight car for most of the day01:37:56
they've started getting it better now he01:37:58

mph the championship01:38:19
leader whoever you talk about a tire rub01:38:21
that someone talked about I don't see01:38:24
smoke don't see anything now but that01:38:27
could be because the air pressure are01:38:29
back01:38:32
up while we ride with Jimmy Sterling01:38:35
Marlon has made his way to eighth Bobby01:38:38
laon to 10th and Ken Shader who was 11th01:38:42

[Music]01:38:51
moves there's Johnson here's Dave and01:38:54
guys they have told the driver don't01:38:56
worry if that left front is rubbing just01:38:57
a little bit it's rubbing on the top of01:38:59
the fender it's been doing that all day01:39:01
that's really okay it's when your Fender01:39:03
gets pinched in and there's a sharp01:39:04
point in the fender that's rubbing your01:39:05
tire that's what they really01:39:08
worry the driver always his doesn't he01:39:11
it's part of his job description no not01:39:13
really he let everybody else do the01:39:16
worrying so Johnson trying to March his01:39:19
way through the field we will take you01:39:20
through the field trouble got trouble in01:39:23
one right in front of Jimmy Johnson01:39:24
looks like a left front tire can now01:39:26
slow down01:39:28
11 Jason01:39:30
leer well I think he's there no caution01:39:33
yet no caution now it just comes out01:39:36
now just stay up high stay up high he01:39:40
just takes care of this thing so it01:39:42
doesn't rip apart he'll put a wheel on01:39:44
this thing and he'll dodge a bullet but01:39:46
if that thing starts ripping01:39:48
apart it's the the tire is ripping apart01:39:52
so far the Defenders St01:39:55
intact looks like the left rear is also01:39:58
flat on this01:40:01
car leer was 20th Last Time by left re's01:40:06
up Michael wal trip gets the lucky01:40:10
dog we knew he would came back got his01:40:15
tires I think that tire came up well I'm01:40:17
not going to talk too01:40:19
soon there's chunks still blowing off it01:40:22
but01:40:28
there goes a break hose yeah break01:40:32
hose well 92 laps are complete BP yep so01:40:36
we're looking if you stop01:40:38
now one more stop oh no now we'll have01:40:42
caution Flags two or three more caution01:40:44
Flags oh yeah you know but the history01:40:47
of this race is caution Flags early not01:40:50
a lot late never mind okay01:40:54
history will be broken today yes that's01:40:57
[Music]01:41:02
right yeah the tires changed that01:41:05
history today Jason has done look at01:41:07
stuff still coming off it start say he's01:41:10
doing a good job getting the car back to01:41:11
Pit Road and keeping the left front01:41:13
fender on it but I don't he's not back01:41:16
yet Allen strategy update hey guys just01:41:19
think uh uh subtracting the number of01:41:21
laps left in the race look for most01:41:23
people to take four tires here so that01:41:25
when they make their last Pit Stop they01:41:27
can just take two and try and get out01:41:29
and get some track01:41:32
position possible this would be the01:41:35
seventh caution yeah you know you bring01:41:38
up a good point Bild yeah maybe they01:41:40
stop now change four tires and just stop01:41:42
one more time there'll be more caution01:41:44
Flags but they may stay out and get that01:41:46
track position good point let's see what01:41:48
happens D Burns Bobby lebani started 3601:41:51
today now gives up 10th position the car01:41:53
is pretty good they're going to make01:41:55
just a slight air pressure adjustment on01:41:57
the green number 18 for leani he's still01:41:58
getting to his pit here he comes we'll01:42:00
see how this crew does let's go back up01:42:02
Pit Road further Matt and Greg Biff has01:42:05
never scored a top five here at the01:42:07
Brickyard the Carr he's on the bottom of01:42:09
your screen in the 16 his car tight most01:42:12
of the day just could not turn they're01:42:14
going to make an air pressure adjustment01:42:16
Marty Casey Kan in at nine car lad for01:42:18
most of that run the car a little bit01:42:20
tight Tommy Baldwin said we're making an01:42:21
air pressure adjustment casy said just01:42:23
make sure it's small four tires Allan01:42:26
four tire change for Elliot Saddler also01:42:28
made looked like a track bar01:42:31
adjustment and uh he is going to have to01:42:33
race Brian VI Road and I think he got it01:42:36
Jimmy Johnson has the catch can uh01:42:39
attached to his car in that 48 so he'll01:42:42
have to come01:42:43
[Music]01:42:45
back look like Casey mir's might have01:42:47
run into there's the catch can yeah Mir01:42:52
run into Gordon right here on Road01:42:53
that's an accessory that's not supposed01:42:55

there that's not original equipment01:42:58
that's not original equipment and you01:43:00
must have all cars must have original01:43:02
equipment Brian Vickers 25 takes the01:43:05
lead Elliot Sadler who has that01:43:08
outstanding pit stall at the exit of Pit01:43:11
Road under caution you're watching01:43:13
NASCAR at the Brickyard on01:43:20
NBC01:43:21
250,000 fans on a mostly sunny Sunday01:43:25

the All State01:43:28
[Music]01:43:31
400 take a look at our singular race01:43:34
talk poll well there you go PP you got01:43:37
your answer yeah I thought it be 75% it01:43:40
was only 58% for Bristol he's pretty01:43:42
darn good there he's had success at the01:43:44
Glenn in Michigan and three second place01:43:48
finishes here for Rusty Wallace01:43:49
currently running 33rd on the track01:43:54
so those 6% that voted for Indy would be01:43:57
very unhappy now when he hear when they01:43:58
hear that he is 33rd hey 66 laps to go01:44:04
you never know it's01:44:08
true D Jarrett struggling today isn't he01:44:11

tires and they're all those fellas have01:44:22
had that problem01:44:24

the bunch because he was able to salvage01:44:28
a left front fender on the RAC track and01:44:30
the lead01:44:32
lap and and it's there's no pattern01:44:35

turn bush in the 97 Jeff Gordon in the01:48:02
24 Jamie McMurray in the 42 inside of01:48:05
Gordon oh he's got a run there's nothing01:48:08
Gordon could do except let him have it01:48:11
and Carl Edwards where'd he come01:48:15
from the01:48:19
99 two wins this season of that call01:48:23
well remember last night at the01:48:24
Indianapolis raceway park it was01:48:26
reported that he wasn't feeling well he01:48:28
is perfectly healthy today just had a01:48:30
little food issue during the rain delay01:48:32
there feels great the car is finally01:48:34
coming to him just a little bit tight01:48:36
right now they adjusted for that last01:48:37
time thank you01:48:39
Dave Tony Stewart01:48:43
20 closing on the 25 of01:48:47
Vickers oh man this thing is shaving up01:48:51
to be something between if you get Tony01:48:54
Stewart Casey Kane battling for the win01:48:57
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway it01:48:59
could get ugly it could get ugly but it01:49:02
could be fun to watch it could I can't01:49:03
wait you want to know something else is01:49:05
going to be fun to watch the 20 gets01:49:07
around that 2501:49:09
car cuz you can watch 250,000 people01:49:12
stand01:49:14
up Vickers leads that01:49:16
[Music]01:49:21
lap01:49:23
Marty and Bill this is where Tony01:49:25
Stewart's been so good the beginning01:49:27
part of the Run they're falling down the01:49:29
most part of the day their problem for01:49:31
most of the day is how they've been at01:49:33
the end of The Run they still get tight01:49:34
but Tony said it's not as bad as it was01:49:37
early in the day and they're very fast01:49:39
in this part of the Run vicker slammed01:49:41
the door that time didn't he yeah he did01:49:42
and well here Stuart's going to take01:49:44
another look but I think Stuart once he01:49:46
gets by if he gets by his car looks like01:49:50
it's faster and it'll definitely be01:49:51
faster in clean air01:49:53
in turn four Tony St fickers has to let01:49:56
him go Tony St comes out of four and01:49:59
will come to the line he will lead lap01:50:01
100 at Indianapolis and man this the01:50:04
grand stands look like an erard took the01:50:05
lead at01:50:06
Charlotte you can hear him and he01:50:09
probably can too he can certainly see01:50:14
him grew up 50 miles from here thought01:50:18
he'd be an Open Wheel racer have a shot01:50:21
at the n500 tried it never worked01:50:24
[Music]01:50:26
out this race would mean so much to him01:50:29
he has come so far and you can see how01:50:32
fast he is in just a half lap he pulled01:50:34
five or six car links away from the 2501:50:37
car and now Wally the 25 of Vickers is01:50:39
going to hold up these other guys they01:50:41
need to get by him Kane company need to01:50:43
get by Vickers as quickly as they can01:50:45
they really do Tony's car is good in01:50:47
clean air which I thought it would be01:50:48
and he is going to drive away from these01:50:49
guys so you're right Casey Kane and01:50:51
Jeremy Mayfield and those two Dodges01:50:53
right behind Vickers they've got to get01:50:54
around them as as fast as possible so01:50:56
they can try to make a run at01:50:59
Stewart Tony stor into one now watch as01:51:02
he goes through this shoot and then01:51:03
heads for turn01:51:05
two that is his01:51:07
sweep outside of turn two at01:51:11
Indianapolis here he comes by as the01:51:15
leader yeah that's a great spot01:51:18
yeah it looks like that Casey Kan now01:51:21
was he's caught up for 25 this Arrow01:51:24
push is really affecting the nine car01:51:27
these two cars are teammate sorry Wally01:51:29
I just to say I don't think it's01:51:30
affecting the 19 as much as it may be01:51:32
the nine cuz the 19 Mayfield can run01:51:34
right behind Casey Kane but you're right01:51:37
Casey Kane when he gets off on another01:51:39
car looks like his car starts washing01:51:41
out vicker's car looks like it might be01:51:43
a little bit better now too after01:51:44
running a few more01:51:51
laps01:51:53
Tony Stewart lap before last ran his01:51:56
fastest lap of his of the day for01:51:59
him Boris said the veteran road racer01:52:03
off the pace Matt something a Miss in01:52:05
the engine compartment for the 36 of01:52:07
Boris said he's racing a lot of historic01:52:09
racetracks Spa nuring Daytona Sebring01:52:13
not a good run today also a possible01:52:16
issue for the third man in our01:52:18
Championship Standings Greg Biffle the01:52:20
16 car says he has a soft tire not01:52:22
exactly sure which one yet the Guardsman01:52:25
up on the wall waiting to see if the bit01:52:28
brings the car to pit01:52:29
Ro you'll be seeing a lot of that 36 car01:52:32
next01:52:33
weekend up front walking GL on the road01:52:36
course yeah course is going to be pretty01:52:38
fast there Jeremy Mayfield trying to get01:52:41
underneath his teammate Casey Kane to01:52:43
take the01:52:47
[Music]01:52:49
spot just quite couldn't pull it off01:52:51
right there but I still think Jeremy's01:52:54
car again if he got past these two cars01:52:57
I think he would be really fast was get01:53:00
a little loose there yep he01:53:04
was Tony Stewart is one half second01:53:07
allow faster than these cars Snider hey01:53:11
Bill you talked actually W he was01:53:12
talking about how Casey Kane is really01:53:14
having that Arrow Bush problem you're01:53:15
right on that's the biggest problem01:53:17
Tommy baldman told me with their race01:53:19
car and the 19 doesn't have the problem01:53:21
as bad water temperature is a concern01:53:23
for the 19 they pulled some tape off on01:53:25
the last pit stop as he continues trying01:53:27
to pass his01:53:29
teammate been talking about Brian01:53:30
bickers and how he fell back a little01:53:32
bit and then has seemed to pick up the01:53:34
pace don't forget on that last pit stop01:53:36
his creie plance regr chose to change01:53:38
just the right side tires now this is01:53:40
one of those technical things that I01:53:42
won't go on about it but air pressure01:53:43
Wally and Benny there was a difference01:53:45
in the left side air pressure versus the01:53:47
right side air pressure and it takes a01:53:49
couple laps to work that out it looks01:53:52
like to me it looks like vicker's car is01:53:54
a little bit loose and if somebody gets01:53:56
to the back of Vickers he almost has to01:53:59
let him go because when you get somebody01:54:01
on your bumper if you have a loose race01:54:02
car it makes that car even more loose01:54:04
and I noticed that with Stuart when01:54:06
Stuart got behind him it was like01:54:07
Vickers just said hey go so here you see01:54:10
Jeremy Mayfield closing the door if he01:54:11
can get on his bumper I bet J vicker01:54:13
won't fight it too hard cuz his car's01:54:15
already01:54:16
loose meanwhile Tony store continues to01:54:19
pull away in that Home Depot Chevy01:54:23
a popular choice here at Indianapolis01:54:25
the face of a champion can he add the01:54:27
Brickyard title to his list of01:54:29
accomplishments we'll find01:54:34
out the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard is01:54:37
brought to you by Miller there's good01:54:39
enough and there's better than it has to01:54:41
be Miller good call by Wrangler makers01:54:44
of Wrangler five-star premium denim01:54:46
jeans by Chevy the winningest name in01:54:48
racing and American Revolution by01:54:51
ballpark Frank be big be meany be frank01:54:54
and by All State proud sponsor of the01:54:57
All State 400 at the01:55:02
Brickyard 108 laps complete at the01:55:06
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Tony Stewart01:55:08
around to complete01:55:09
109 as the race01:55:11
leader now that Mayfield got by though01:55:14
he's running laps just as quick if not01:55:17
exact look at that last time by BP same01:55:19
exact speed as Tony Stewart but he's01:55:21
three 7 seconds behind Tony Stewart well01:55:25
watch the leader we'll take you through01:55:26
the field starting with Marty Snider01:55:29
Tony Stewart in the lead at Indianapolis01:55:31
exactly where he wants to be in a couple01:55:33
of laps in fact at the end of the race01:55:34
when the checkered flag Falls and what01:55:36
would happen if Tony Stewart won this01:55:39
Brickyard01:55:41
400 I've always said if we ever win a01:55:43
race at Indie the party is going to be01:55:44
out of this01:55:46
world and that's probably true and01:55:49
probably right at this racetrack in the01:55:50
site in turn two when he took the lead01:55:53
he said how about that guys and Greg01:55:55
zipadelli responded yeah you just take01:55:56
care of that right front buddy that's01:55:58
all you need to worry about Jeremy01:55:59
Mayfield though running the same exact01:56:01
lap times we've talked about it he's the01:56:02
eighth place man in championship and01:56:04
he's only in by 31 points in the chase01:56:07
for the next H Cup the car a little bit01:56:09
tight Allan Brian Vickers is running in01:56:12
third position he's been among the top01:56:14
five cars about this whole race except01:56:16
during a cycle of pit stops his crew01:56:18
changing two tires on their lap 92 stop01:56:20
and cre PL for crew says they and make01:56:22
it to the finish on just one more stop01:56:25
Kyle bus another outstanding day he's01:56:27
running in fourth position another one01:56:28
of those Hendrick Motorsports entries01:56:30
reporting right now his car handling01:56:32
very good and if you track the timing01:56:34
and scoring he appears to be one of the01:56:36
faster cars on the track Marty Allan01:56:38
Casey Kane has now fallen back to the01:56:40
fifth position after running third just01:56:41
a moment ago he just radio to the crew01:56:43
said I think I might have a right rear01:56:45
tire going down the car getting tighter01:56:48
for Casey Kane Allan Elliot sber got01:56:51
shuffled back to 6 position reporting01:56:53
that his car in traffic doesn't want a01:56:55
turn like he needs it to then he said01:56:58
sorry guys they've got time to get it01:57:00
straight out and get him up front Dave01:57:02
Bobby lebani drives his Pocono car that01:57:04
finished eight remember he started 3601:57:06
worked his way up now into the top 1001:57:07
running seven Bobby having just a little01:57:09
bit of a tight race car they adjusted01:57:11
for that last time and hoping it'll come01:57:13
back Marty not a word on the radio from01:57:16
Matt kith they've had a very good car01:57:17
today it's been 53 races since Matt last01:57:20
won and it was with this race car at Las01:57:23
Vegas last year car's been just a little01:57:25
bit tight Alan what a nice day for Mike01:57:27
Bliss driving the zero car he is running01:57:29
now in ninth position team got their01:57:32
first top 10 finish of the season last01:57:34
Sunday at Pocono his crew chief booty01:57:36
Barker says we've got a good car we've01:57:37
got a good team you're going to see a01:57:39
lot more of this in the weeks to come01:57:40
Dave Casey miris has gotten some track01:57:42
position back that was a result of a two01:57:44
Tire stop the last time he was in they01:57:46
made a little bit of an air pressure01:57:47
adjustment cuz his car wanted to push01:57:49
out toward the wall Matt Mark Martin who01:57:51
qualif by 10 just lost the 10 position01:57:54
now he says I like the feel of these01:57:56
four tires give me another wedge01:57:58
adjustment I think we're really going to01:58:00
be solid from that point on Allan how01:58:03
about this nice recovery for Jeff Gordon01:58:05
remember that back on lap number 74 they01:58:07
made that long Pit Stop to put a spring01:58:09
rubber into the right rear spring on the01:58:11
car it dropped him back to 29th Place at01:58:13
the time Gordon chipping him off one at01:58:15
a time he's back up to 12th Place Matt01:58:18
Now Greg Biffle continues to fade he01:58:20
just told his crew chief Doug Richard01:58:21
there you see see in the 16 car this car01:58:24
is so loose I can barely hold on to it01:58:27
they should pit about another 18 to 2001:58:29
laps meanwhile as we go further on down01:58:32
the line Scott rigs in the 10 car a01:58:35
solid run started out the year with a01:58:37
top five at Daytona trying to score a01:58:40
solid finish with his future still01:58:43
uncertain here in the 10 car meanwhile01:58:45
Kevin harving trying to rebound from01:58:47
issues down with a curbing in turn one01:58:50
had the Pit Road penalty trying to work01:58:52
his way back through traffic hasn't said01:58:54
a whole lot about the handling of that01:58:56
car Dave riging next C Cup champion Kurt01:58:58
bush is having trouble with that right01:59:00
front of the car I just checked with his01:59:01
crew chief Jimmy fenning I said it's the01:59:03
right front any better he said no I said01:59:05
it's still in a bad situation he said01:59:07
yes and they don't know what to do about01:59:08
it Matt McMurray almost won this race01:59:10
two years ago currently he runs in the01:59:13
17th position telling Donnie Wingo his01:59:15
crew chief I'm chattering the front01:59:17
tires did we get all the ls tight they01:59:19
told him they did the car the balance01:59:21
now what he needs Marty man it's been a01:59:24
pretty decent day for Sterling Marlin01:59:25
currently running in the 18th position01:59:27
the car has been tight for most of the01:59:28
afternoon but on the last stop Sterling01:59:30
said the car was pretty good they made01:59:32
no changes on that stop Allan well catch01:59:35
Raider started in the 11th position but01:59:36
on the first pit stop back at lap 2301:59:38
reported a clutch problem they made a01:59:41
couple of subsequent pit stops on a01:59:42
couple of subsequent cautions never went01:59:45
to the garage but fell all the way to01:59:46
the back of the field they made about01:59:48
half of it back up mat rounding out the01:59:50
top 20 the 31 car Jeff Burton says the01:59:54
car is not as good as it was he was01:59:55

leaders but now he says it just will not01:59:59
turn and it's losing grip Dave Jimmy02:00:02

the right front tire problem on the 1802:01:26

Road because they know when you make02:02:19

going to be hard contact on the outside02:02:26
wall so Bobby lebani to the02:02:32
garage well Tony Stewart did not want to02:02:34

again wasn't02:05:45
it boy and Jeff Gordon in that 24 Le02:05:49
might have right going down going to say02:05:51
leaned on that right front pretty02:05:53
[Music]02:05:55
hard he's got some damage to that Fender02:05:58
we know that that hurts the handing02:06:00
capabilities of these cars dramatically02:06:02
Greg Biffle involved in that Collision02:06:04
on Pit Road restarted02:06:07
34th yeah Gordon's going to have some02:06:09
some problems here with the front of02:06:11
that car the way it's damaged and look02:06:13
at these guys closing in on02:06:16
Stewart you were you were liking02:06:18
Mayfield's car I I have I mean you know02:06:21
Tony's got strong car but Jeremy's car02:06:23
looks the best in traffic and then once02:06:25
he gets out of traffic he was as fast or02:06:28
faster than Stuart so those two cars02:06:30
right there are definitely the strongest02:06:31
cars in the place right now and right02:06:34
now the 25 carb fickers hanging with02:06:36
these two front cars great battle for02:06:39
the first three spots I'll tell you the02:06:41
next three cars are coming02:06:44
too kenth Kane and Saddler Kane looking02:06:49
on the inside of kenth Kan and nine K02:06:52
and 17 and get to the02:06:57
nine Tony St trouble got the 10 car02:07:02
round he goes lot of guys behind02:07:05
him man that was02:07:08
close caution is out rcks rolls away02:07:13
there are 15 scoring loops around this02:07:15
track the scoring will revert to the02:07:17
previously passed02:07:19
Loop sure looks like contact from the02:07:21
rear on that one yeah I might guess but02:07:26
they were in a02:07:27
[Applause]02:07:28
big someone forgot he was on the outside02:07:31
of him he said yeah this could be a huge02:07:33
break for the02:07:34
24 yeah cuz they're going to have to02:07:36
come down and get that pfix Tony Stewart02:07:38
is the race leader once the caution02:07:40
comes out the teams stop02:07:43
racing see if we can see what happened02:07:48
here I guess Kurt bush is I don't know02:07:52
Kurt Bush the 97 car was around the 10 I02:07:55
don't know if he was the one that Scott02:07:57
was talking about was underneath him or02:08:00
not let's take a look from Harvick's far02:08:03
see what he02:08:06
saw look like 97 ran up into02:08:10
him you think like the 97 way I saw it02:08:15
looked like the 97 got loose and when he02:08:17
corrected just ran up right in the side02:08:18
of the 1002:08:20
car02:08:22
and these guys back here behind him they02:08:24
did a job02:08:28
work well that's disappointing for rigs02:08:30
he's got rallies on that car for a02:08:32
handful of races02:08:34
here second half of the02:08:37
season now let's go back and look at02:08:39
Jeff Gordon and Mike02:08:43
Bliss going down to turn one Jeff Gordon02:08:47
trying to get alongside and there wasn't02:08:50
really a whole lot of room down there02:08:52
there boy Jeff did a fantastic job to02:08:55
save that card that was at about 200 mph02:08:58
when all that02:09:00
started so that was a few moments ago02:09:03
here's a few weeks ago Chicago land02:09:05
Speedway Juliet02:09:07
Illinois Bliss in the02:09:09
zero Gordon in the02:09:12
24 kind of the same thing there wasn't02:09:14
really enough room down02:09:16
there Jeff Gordon was very unhappy about02:09:20
that02:09:22
so the caution out ninth caution of the02:09:24
day leaders stay out we'll take a break02:09:27
and bring you back to the02:09:30
Brickyard Gordon will02:09:33
pit and since Jeff Gordon is going to02:09:36
come down Pit Road let's stay right here02:09:37
and see what his team does saw a few02:09:40
cars additionally diving on the Pit Road02:09:42
at the last moment trying to make the02:09:44
commitment line so Gordon a four time02:09:46
winner at this of this race they'll be02:09:48
working on the fender I mean that's what02:09:49
they're what they're going to do they02:09:50
may even change right side tires just to02:09:52
make sure that right front wasn't02:09:54
cut Gordon is running02:09:57
15 mat DJ who's been hovering around the02:10:01
20th position most of the afternoon on02:10:03
Pit Road trying to fix the balance this02:10:06
race car even more Allan yeah Jeff02:10:09
Gordon after initially the radio call02:10:11
that you heard saying be ready I might02:10:13
have a tire going down came back later02:10:15
said the tires are fine I'm concerned02:10:17
about the fender Robbie Lumis decided to02:10:19
call him in here pull that Fender out02:10:21
make sure it wasn't a problem there it02:10:22
is being done right now and they'll take02:10:25
four tires and send him out here's an02:10:27
interesting point these guys stopping02:10:29
now Benny I think they some of them02:10:31
might make it the rest of the way if we02:10:33
don't see another caution flag it could02:10:35
be very interesting to see how this02:10:37
plays out under caution at the02:10:39
Indianapolis Motor Speedway you're02:10:41
watching NASCAR on02:10:45
NBC still under caution here at the02:10:48
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Tony Stewart02:10:50
leads followed by J Mayfield Brian02:10:52
Vickers Casey Kane and Matt02:10:55
kenen here's our Miller race fact the02:10:59
eventual Cup Series champion has won at02:11:01
Indianapolis four times including two by02:11:05
Jeff Gordon he's got some work to do if02:11:08
he's going to win today yes he02:11:12
does let's check along Pit Road with02:11:16
Marty well Greg zipadelli anxiously02:11:18
awaits the last 35 laps of the Brickyard02:11:20
400 and you guys have done a terrific02:11:22
job of putting smoke in contention talk02:11:24
about chassis wise where the car is02:11:26
right now yeah we started real tight02:11:28
today we thought the sun was going to be02:11:29
out and it was going to be uh pretty02:11:31
slick so we were really real aggressive02:11:33
on our uh first two or three stops02:11:35
couple rubbers in the right rear 34 lbs02:11:37
in the right rear and uh he's done a02:11:39
great job he's been uh real smart real02:11:41
smooth he's worked his way to that front02:11:43
so uh we're about one or two lap short02:11:45
on fuel right now so we'll keep our02:11:47
fingers crossed I was going to ask you02:11:48
how worried are you about that because02:11:50
you have been preaching conserve fuel02:11:52
conserve fuel yeah we'll do all we can02:11:54
here we needed one more or two more02:11:55
caution laps but uh we'll see if we can02:11:57
get a lead maybe we can uh we can save02:11:59
some fuel we'll uh we'll see if the good02:12:01
Lords got this St for us looking for02:12:03
some more caution flag laps in the 2002:12:05
pit Allan and this is Lance McGrew who02:12:07
is Brian vicker's crew chief watching02:12:09
his driver sit third you pitted with 4302:12:12
laps to go first can you make it to the02:12:13
finish on the gasoline you got on board02:12:15
on what we have on board uh it's02:12:17
questionable but uh this it hadn't02:12:19
historically today hadn't gone green for02:12:22
very long so we're counting on a couple02:12:23
more caution laps and put us over the02:12:25
edge and so that leads to the next02:12:26
question if you get those couple more02:12:28
caution flag laps are we going to see02:12:29
you on pit road again before the02:12:30
checkered flag I I probably doubt it I02:12:33
doubt we'll come back down Pit Road it's02:12:35
uh it's kind of a gamble for us but you02:12:37
know you only win this race very few02:12:40
times or have opportunity to win it02:12:41
we've had a car good enough to win it02:12:43
today and if we have to roll the dice to02:12:44
do it we'll do it all right Lance thanks02:12:46
good luck Lance for group crw chief for02:12:47
Brian Vickers Matt here in the six pit02:12:50
pat Tron you've worked on your cars02:12:51
handling all day but the bigger question02:12:54
where do you stand on fuel oh the V02:12:56
Force toward Force been good all day uh02:12:58
right now we're just uh we're a little02:12:59
bit short on fuel right now but uh we'll02:13:02
see how it goes you know it's a long way02:13:04
to go still so uh we'll just have to see02:13:05
how everything falls Mark just said on02:13:07
the radio Pat you know I really do like02:13:09
the way this car handles on four tires02:13:11
Dave with Jimmy F now crew chief for02:13:13
Kurt Bush looks like uh that contact02:13:15
with the 10 was a little indicative of02:13:17
how this car is handling today yeah02:13:19
we've been struggling all day and uh we02:13:20
just p pushed right into him uh Kurt02:13:22
felt bad about it and I feel bad for the02:13:24
10 guys but uh you know we're going to02:13:26
keep working on see if we can make it to02:13:27
the end the 97 has been talking very02:13:30
close on fuel as well green flag with 3302:13:34
to go some guys will be able to make it02:13:37
and some guys will02:13:42
[Music]02:13:50
not02:13:58
restarts well we know Greg zipadelli02:14:01
said the 20 car is going to have to stop02:14:03
again unless they stay out for a number02:14:06
of caution flag02:14:08
laps we've run 23 laps 14 laps two laps02:14:12
eight laps one lap six laps 13 laps 2002:14:15
laps and three laps here comes the nine02:14:18
Kane underneath thers takes a spot02:14:21
but you know when you're a Stewart's02:14:23
position you ain't going to conserve02:14:25
fuel you can't I mean you got the fueld02:14:27
behind you so you got to go so how many02:14:30
laps have we run this last since Tony02:14:32
Stewart stopped Tony Stewart02:14:37
basically I'll double check the math02:14:40
uh-oh02:14:43
math so we got St opening up that02:14:50
lead what are they saying Marty about02:14:52
the 19 CU bfield looks like he's got a02:14:54
strong car he has an outstanding car02:14:56
while they've had a terrific day but the02:14:58
problem is they two short on fuel about02:15:00
one and a half laps lugger Labby told me02:15:02
so they need some caution laps just like02:15:04
the 20 car oh almost contact between02:15:09
teammates N9 and 19 but Jeremy goes up02:15:12
the hill lets Casey Kane take over that02:15:14
second02:15:15
spot the answer to your question BP is02:15:18
three the last three laap02:15:19
segment02:15:21
of green flag livs green flag La02:15:25
caution so that's roughly a total of 1202:15:28
Pickers and the 25 car that green car02:15:30
that you can't miss trying to take the02:15:33
spot for Mayfield too suddenly his car02:15:35
doesn't look as good as it has and02:15:36
that's what happened to Casey Kane the02:15:38
last time they had a02:15:42
restart Elliot Sadler try to get on the02:15:45
inside the 17 of Matt kenth can't quite02:15:47
make it that was s and 38 oh man that02:15:51
up to close n Mayfield may lose a spot02:15:54
here couldn't get the car turned down so02:15:56
he had to get out of the gas lose that02:15:59
he lost that02:16:02
momentum got back in behind Vickers02:16:08
though B one for02:16:11
[Applause]02:16:19
second you see Kane chasing down02:16:23
Stewart trying to chase down and guess02:16:26
what the last lap Casey Kane was faster02:16:29
than Tony Stewart he is chasing him02:16:32
down02:16:34
410 410 of a second faster this that02:16:38
battle you guys were looking for earlier02:16:39
coming up02:16:43
uh-huh Stuart's car is using a little02:16:46
bit more RAC trck than he was earlier02:16:48
which means his car sliding a little bit02:16:50
more than cas Kane's02:16:52
car means Casey Kane's car is hooked up02:16:54
a little bit02:17:03
better Richmond back in May was Casey02:17:05
Kane winning the in the nine car Tony02:17:08
Stewart finish in02:17:09
second and Tony Stewart couldn't have02:17:11
been happier for Casey he wouldn't be02:17:13
happy for him today I don't believe not02:17:14
at this RAC trck he's not happy to even02:17:16
see him in the mirror right02:17:18
now their relationship wasn't always02:17:22
sparkling they have mended02:17:24
[Music]02:17:27
fences that's what you call making your02:17:29
car wide what Stewart's doing right02:17:33
now Bo Kane is right there Marty Casey02:17:37
trying to get the lead he came on the02:17:38
radio they've been tied off for noon02:17:40
long he said you know what guys we02:17:41
finally have it loosened up and Tommy02:17:43
Balwin said I can see that last lap02:17:46
Casey Kane ran his fastest lap of the02:17:49
day02:17:51
but two laps before that Tony ran his02:17:54
fastest of the day he did02:17:57
yes tracks cooling off a little bit and02:18:00
we're getting closer to the end at02:18:02
Indianapolis02:18:04
exactly boy Kane's car looks good right02:18:07
there and Tony is not saving any fuel02:18:13
now you get to a point your Casey Kane02:18:16
you know you're faster than him you just02:18:17
got to got to go got got to get right02:18:19
now I mean you got 20 eight LPS left you02:18:21
know your car's good now if you get by02:18:23
him you may be able to drive away from02:18:25
him so that's what you want to do while02:18:26
your car is still good and or better02:18:28
than Tony you want to get it done02:18:30
now but Tony's not making that real easy02:18:33
on Kane no02:18:37
sir down the front stretch at Indy the02:18:40
fan02:18:42
Canyon02:18:44
Marty if you guys notice Tony Stewart is02:18:46
ducking out to break graft coming down02:18:49
the fres Str that's what he's trying to02:18:51
do trying to slow Casey down a little02:18:53
bit Ray Arham on the radio told Casey02:18:55
listen there are a lot of laughs left be02:18:57
calm be patient we have a great car Ray02:19:00
Abraham is car owner former crew chief02:19:02
for Jeff Gordon now Casey02:19:05
Kane tries to make the move and can't do02:19:08
it there like I said earlier there is a02:19:10
draft that you use here these02:19:11
straightaways are so long that the draft02:19:13
does come into play ooh this may be it02:19:17
Casey Kane on the02:19:19
inside02:19:21
AC Kane takes the lead coming out of02:19:23
four at02:19:26
Indianapolis now we'll see if he can02:19:28
drive away from02:19:31
[Applause]02:19:35
Stewart now when you're in Stewart seat02:19:38
right now now you're pushing the button02:19:39
a little bit harder you're driving a02:19:41
little bit harder you got 25 laps to go02:19:43
you're in second had a good02:19:45
car gripping that steering wheel a lot02:19:48
harder than you were five laps ago02:19:54
so Casi Kane has gotten around Tony02:19:56
store to the lead at Indianapolis 134 of02:20:01
160 laps complete at the02:20:04

green though we may be looking deeper02:21:19
into the field for our our winner and02:21:21
he's won this race a few times before02:21:24
fuel is definitely an02:21:29
issue 2402:21:31
car took some fuel yep he's good to go02:21:35
but Marne I don't think the leader got02:21:37
enough he keeps getting reminders02:21:39
conserve fuel when you can I asked Tommy02:21:41
Baldwin how close are you on fuel he02:21:43
said close enough I said do you need a02:21:45
caution he said02:21:46
[Music]02:21:48
yes oh Tony's looking on02:21:51
inside and Cas he moved him up yep he's02:21:54
going to get underneath him02:21:57
here oh there's no room02:22:01
there that was close St back out there02:22:04
yeah definitely Casey came down Slamm02:22:08
the door on a little bit which02:22:10
he should be doing yeah I mean Tony was02:22:13

that'll bring out the02:22:49
caution02:22:52
uh more than T wall perhaps yes02:22:54
sir blew up here finished 36 the year02:22:57
ago he's knocked the fuel pump off the02:23:00
car and has some fire under hope they're02:23:02
looking under the02:23:03
[Music]02:23:08
car there you go there's fire underneath02:23:11
the02:23:12
hood trying to get the hood pins out so02:23:15
they can raise the hood it's probably a02:23:17
little02:23:18
warm Burns guys they told Jimmy leaned02:23:21
in the window Shad canos ran out on the02:23:22
pit Lane pulled the window net down and02:23:24
yelled to Jimmy get out the car is on02:23:27
fire underneath he went to the end of02:23:29
his driver and now has Jimmy on the pit02:23:31
Lane02:23:38
wall scary moment for Jimmy02:23:41
Johnson the team has had a tough02:23:46
weekend failed to make a qualifying02:23:48
attempt here yesterday when they02:23:49
couldn't get their car through through02:23:51
inspection came in as the championship02:23:53
leader but their day will end02:23:56
early Johnson looks to be okay just very02:24:08
frustrated takes a seat on the pit wall02:24:10
That's Chad Canal's crew02:24:19
chief02:24:35
Chad clearly wants a moment for his02:24:37
driver to regain his composure and catch02:24:39
his02:24:40
breath and some of the02:24:44
track medical02:24:48
attendance talking to Jim02:24:51
[Music]02:25:00
I think Jimmy's hot I probably as much02:25:03
as anything he's just so frustrated very02:25:05
disappointed02:25:10
[Music]02:25:12
yes now what's going to02:25:15
happen02:25:16
Marty the nine car will stay out of02:25:19
Casey Kane a lot of debate on the 20 car02:25:21
radio Tony Stewart said I I think maybe02:25:23
pitting here is a good idea if we don't02:25:25
pit we'll be sitting ducks Greg02:25:27
zipadelli said I think we should stay02:25:29
out Tony said it's your call I'm too02:25:31
nervous to make the call Zippy said stay02:25:33
out we need the track02:25:36
position I think that's a good call if02:25:39
they've got enough fuel to make it to02:25:40
the end I mean if02:25:41
it's who's going to pit Elliot Saddler02:25:45
Tony Stewart Tony's coming down no a02:25:48
fake you fell for it i f did didn't he02:25:52
got me Hook Line and02:25:54
Sinker no I think that's how bad he02:25:57

well a bunch of guys Behind These02:26:00
leaders are coming down Pit02:26:03
Road he's just got a lot of cars to pass02:26:05
and get to that lead very difficult cuz02:26:08
those cars are going to be pretty wide02:26:09
when we go back to green flag racing y02:26:12
obviously you get more fuel under the02:26:14
caution running caution laps than you do02:26:16
under greed they normally count it about02:26:19
two laps of caution Flags equal one lap02:26:22
of green flag racing and this is where02:26:24
you can save fuel under yellow yeah just02:26:27
stay off that gas pedal as much as02:26:28
possible02:26:30
Marty well let's talk to Tommy Baldwin02:26:32

you said yes because they want to know02:28:16
yeah I'm I'm fine man that was hard02:28:19
that's by far the hardest set I think02:28:21
I've taken um just blew it right from a02:28:23
tire and way I went at first so thank02:28:26
God for the soft walls and the H device02:28:29

guys we know was Chad canel crew chief02:28:50
Chad's been talking with Jimmy the EMTs02:28:52

that was a hard lick guys that tells you02:28:57
how hard and how fast they go here at02:28:58
Indianapolis and we see the points now02:29:01
as they02:29:02
run Jimmy is now 54 back came in as the02:29:07

in okay let's check on the Tony Stewart02:29:31
story Marty and Tony uh conversing with02:29:34
crew chief Greg zipadelli right now and02:29:36
uh they are good on fuel now let's02:29:39
confirm that with Zippy you okay on fuel02:29:41
now yeah we we we were good before this02:29:44
caution I mean we would have we should02:29:45
have gone 160 and a quarter especially02:29:48
running second um our few mile is a02:29:51
little bit better so um we'll just keep02:29:53
our fingers crossed this Home Depot02:29:54
Chevrolet has been pretty good all day02:29:55
it's been a fight but uh part of this02:29:57
team there they've done a great job been02:29:59
a fun race to watch can he get past the02:30:01
nine you know uh you know nine car has02:30:03
been pretty good he had that one set of02:30:04
tires I think the last one or they must02:30:06
have made an adjustment or something02:30:07
that he wasn't as good um he's been02:30:09
really strong all day I think we're02:30:12
we're we're kind of equal cars right now02:30:13
so it'll be a matter of who was running02:30:15
harder there and we really don't know02:30:16
who showed their hands so we'll see you02:30:18
know it's kind of like going to Vegas02:30:19
here remember Tony has been very good on02:30:21
these restarts he may take advantage of02:30:23
this opportunity trying to pass Casey02:30:26
Kane on board with Tony there is his02:30:29
suite outside of turn two here at the02:30:32
Indianapolis Motor Speedway again he02:30:34
grew up in Columbus Indiana about 5002:30:36
miles from this02:30:41
track and there has been some02:30:43
speculation that if Tony wins and does02:30:45
some fence climbing it's the fence right02:30:47
in front of that Suite that he will02:30:49
climb to C02:30:51
great but you play poker with both of02:30:53
these guys BP who's better poker player02:30:55
Tony's pretty good Tony is really02:31:05
good restarts going to be sorry B02:31:07
restarts going to be his probably his02:31:09
best shot Tony Stewart's best shot if he02:31:11
can get a good restart and get right02:31:13
behind Casey Kane try to get him a02:31:15
little bit loose in one and two and dive02:31:17
underneath him that's going to be one of02:31:18
his best opportunities didn't Jeff02:31:20
Gordon cut a tire in Texas and say that02:31:22
was the hardest hit that he's ever had02:31:25
prior to the safer02:31:27
barriers cuz I remember that onboard02:31:30
camera shot I remember I've hit the wall02:31:32
