the 2006 sharpie five hundred at bristol

(to the song "the distance" by cake)

old bristol lights up in the summertime

dozens racing, cars glimmer and shine

the cameras flashing like musco beams

cheering appearing fans welcome the green

they swoop down the banking and soar down the straights

spotters look out so it’s not too late

hundreds of laps, they bang and they beat

they get so frustrated they’re stuck in the heat

as they tear through the concrete, the caution soars

the cars torn up with black-donutted doors

saturday at the sharpie five hundred one man

was fighting and climbing the points as he ran

tony went laps down and kurt busch just blew up

and johnson is ready to go for the cup

but behind him, beside him, by seven points is

a dewalt ford fusion who says it’s still his—

matt’s closing the distance

on jimmie’s point lead

we should’ve known (should’ve known) should’ve known kenseth won’t concede

while johnson’s pacing, not racing, awaiting the chase

front running and cunning matt’s winning every race

and closing the distance



a calm race, three hours, few crashes, no whines

mark’s triple-a fusion went over the line

clint bowyer spun out, his tire flew north

a blazing amazing young scott riggs got fourth

up in front was jeff burton, led until he switched

with junior whose loose chevrolet made a twitch

‘cause not pacing, but racing, awaiting the chase

front running and cunning matt’s winning every race

tony went laps down and kurt busch just blew up

and johnson is ready to go for the cup

but behind him, beside him, by seven points is

a dewalt ford fusion who says it’s still his—

‘cause matt’s closing the distance

on jimmie’s point lead

we should’ve known (should’ve known) should’ve known kenseth won’t concede

while johnson’s pacing, not racing, awaiting the chase

front running and cunning matt’s winning every race

not pacing, but racing, awaiting the chase

front running and cunning matt’s winning every race

and closing the distance

on jimmie’s point lead

matt’s closing the distance—
