>Oh yeah! Great race. I nearly went nuts when the 99 tried to root the 3 out of the way with a couple of laps to go. Great piece of driving to save the car and hold the position.

Yeah I blew a cork too... but the irony was that was an attempt at the classic Earnhardt nudge & tumble trick. Last year whippersnapper Gordon pulled the same 'how does it feel Dale' move on BigE (at Bristol maybe? i forget...) and pulled it off well. So I was I tickled to see Big Daddy learned his lesson when he jerked it low for that split second to keep from coming loose. All-in-all lots of great driving, most exciting Martinsville race I ever remember seeing.
