the 2000 napa five hundred at atlanta (excited fan edition!)

(to the song "caught up in you" by .38 special)




*welcome back, espn!*

remember that november day

when the e.s.p.n. crew

broadcast atlanta on monday

and said, “after this, we’re through”

it - was like bidding farewell to a friend

like - darrell waltrip, whose career would end

but who knew we’d salute a

new winner, too?

the day jerry nadeau - finally won

he earned all of his first victory

from second, he flew - past ward burton

but then had to hold off earnhardt’s chevy

who got p-two - in the points

while bobby labonte had got the - title homestead week

jeff gordon’s rainbow car on pole

next season would have bright flames

scott wimmer’s first cup start unfolds

his arca race had been rained

out - mayfield lost an engine real fast

mi-chael - waltrip’s mattei chevy crashed

then poor smoke, his car broke when a tire blew

the day jerry nadeau - finally won

he earned all of his first-ever victory

from second, he flew - past ward burton

but then had to hold off earnhardt’s chevy

who got p-two - in the points

‘cause bobby labonte had got the - title homestead week

through the day - the top five

had dave blaney’s amoco ride, but no

late damage was costly

mike skinner put - four tires on

but most took two that last caution, and so

did bobby labonte

the day jerry nadeau—



(Bob Jenkins’ call over instrumental:)
“Back in March of ‘81, Darrell Waltrip took the checkered flag to win the very first race that we televised on ESPN. And in November of 2000—Jerry Nadeau wins the final race on ESPN! It is his first Winston Cup win in his 103rd race, the fourth first-time winner of 2000, and the 14th different winner this year, tying a mark set in 1991. . .”

and watch wally dallenbach

pull a three-sixty on the track, then go

this excited b.p.!
