the 2007 auto club five hundred at california

(to the song “crocodile rock” by sir elton john)





with other stars awaiting oscars

kevin costner gave those famous words

sunoco’s unleaded fuel

blew up six cars early, like “days of thunder two”

when junior spun out, but didn’t crash

he climbed out and took a bow on the grass

as they raced on the backstretch’s roughest patch

riggs, mcmurray, and reed sorenson wrecked out so fast, then—

look out, matt kenseth, kevin harvick

is comin’ to get you again

remember last time he had a run

he usurped ol’ mark martin

oh, man, look there! his tire’s flat!

it looks like you’ve got this one, matt

even though reiser is still sitting out at ho-o-o-ome

way - from the thirteenth row,

matt kenseth stole the show,

look at his ford go!

like the hagar rhyme, “i can’t drive fifty-five”

waltrip’s napa camry didn’t qualify

reutimann got his spot, then got a scare

hit the turn three wall so hard it knocked out his air

stewart’s speeding did not go un-caught

johnson had an ill-timed slow pit stop

vickers’ first toyota top ten

came as bobby labonte’s strong run ended—

look out, matt kenseth, kevin harvick

is comin’ to get you again

remember last time he had a run

he usurped ol’ mark martin

oh, man, look there! his tire’s flat!

it looks like you’ve got this one, matt

even though reiser is still sitting at ho-o-o-ome

way - from the thirteenth row,

matt kenseth stole the show,

then made his tranny blow!
