in Car Number 1...

...your all-time favorite,

champion Joe Youghal.

In the last row, on the pole in Number 4,

Dinky Devereaux.

- How did it go?

- Brannan's quite a guy.

- Are you through with him?

- No, not yet.

And in Car Number 17...

...Mike Brannan.

Yeah, Brannan, why don't you give up?

- Get that heap out of there.

- Drop dead, Brannan.

You ain't got a prayer tonight,

brother.

There they are, getting them going,

the 12 finest drivers in the east.

This is your main event.

It's gonna be a hot one.

The track's fast, the cars are faster

and everybody's all wound up.

They're coming for a rolling start now.

Fastest cars in the back.

- Why is that?

- Makes a tougher race.

Those boys in the back rows

have to drive plenty to win.

They're keeping nice formation

as they come out of the turn...

...approaching the starting line.

Keep your eyes on the green flag.

This may be a start. It is. There they go.

They're off.

In the first turn, it's Number 15.

That's Charlie Clint,

he's out in front by a whisker.

There's Number 17 skinning the fence.

Mike Brannan wide with his foot hard down.

He's gunning for Sam Kaderian,

Number 38.

Brannan's moving up fast on the outside

to get him as they come out of the turn.

It's a duel down the stretch.

These boys are burning rubber,

giving it everything.

Sam's a fighting fool in a brush like this

but Brannan's going ahead.

He can take them one-for-one

or in bunches. There he goes.

It's gonna take something to hold

that Brannan tonight.

Look out, he's in trouble.

Look at that slide.

He's out of it.

He's a driver, Brannan.

There he goes, right back into the action,

making time again.

Charlie Clint hanging on to the lead.

On his tail is Red Jones, Number 54,

and Wick Warren, beating him for second.

Joe Youghal's coming up through traffic

in Number 1, and 17's after him.

Everybody's bearing down now.

Watch Brannan moving up.

He's gunning for Johnny Kenna, Number 15.

Johnny's not gonna make it easy.

Got his foot on that throttle.

They're both open into the turn,

broadsiding like mad...

Wait a minute. Kenna's spinning.

He can't hold that car. He's lost her.

He's spinning in the infield,

but he's under control.

- What happened?

- They don't like what Brannan did.

- Chopped Johnny Kenna off. Spun him out.

- He's going right back.

Charlie Clint still in front.

There's Youghal blasting his way up there

with Brannan chasing him.

You can't miss those white cars.

They're standouts on any track.

Brannan and Youghal jockeying for position,

looking for a hole, trying to get through.

Youghal found one. He's moving up on 54,

challenging Red Jones.

He's gonna take him.
