Reporting the Darlington Results

The Track Too Tough to Tame proved again to be a worthy test for the NASCAR Nextel Cup. As last week, the saturday night race was postponed by rain and, for the first time in twenty years or so, there was racing on Mother's Day.

Several drivers had hopes of victory as the day wore on. In the end, Jeff Gordon drove the DuPont Impalla to the checkered flag. His car was overheating to the point of having a steaming geyser out the overflow vent for over fifty miles.

Jimmie Johnson finished third, Jeff Burton took tenth, Kyle Busch was involved in an accident and finished thirty-seventh. Juan Pablo Montoya scrapped his way to twenty-third.
