Number 26 is losing it

on turn one.

Number 82 gets by on the inside.

Another car gets slammed

and heads for the wall.

Someone's on fire,

and another car's

spinning in the infield.

What a mess!

And now the yellow caution flag is out,

the field is slowing.

Drivers may take

advantage of this slow down

for their final refuel stop.

Here comes the first one now.

It's Richard petty.

Your leader is slowing down,

heading for his pit.

His crew swarms over the car,

checking every detail.

And here comes Mike marsh.

Both your leaders

are in the pits,

where races are won and lost.

Pit speed is

more important than ever now.

Tires are being changed out of both cars.

They're adding

a full load of fuel.

Hurry with that Jack!

That's enough gas.

Hey, c'mon! I can get better service

at a gas station!

Don't you want us to give

him just a little head start?

C'mon! Just a little.

That's all it'll be 'cause there he goes.

And here's another car taking

advantage of the yellow flag

and dropping down off the track

onto the apron,

heading for the pits.

It's ned arp,

your fourth place man in car 27.

He's a lap behind the leader,

but the kazarian crew is really

in action trying to get him out.

Arp's getting a load of fuel

and fresh tires.

He wants to make up

for time lost earlier.

20 laps to go,

and it's still petty and marsh.

Johns is now third,

and ned arp's a lap

behind the leader.

You're doing ok?

Come on.

Hurry it up.

Arp, take it easy.

It's just another race.

And there he goes.

Ned arp is still in fourth position,

but he's a full lap

behind the leaders.

The track is clear now.

There goes the green light.

And we're back to racing.

It's still petty in first,

with marsh close behind.

Both cars have enough fuel to go

all the way,

so it's still anybody's race.

Look at them go!

Wait a minute.

I think marsh

is going to pass petty.

Mike marsh has passed petty

and takes the lead

as they head down

the back straightaway.

Look at that battle!

Petty is slowing.

Looks like the flat-out

pace forced by marsh this afternoon

may have been too much

for petty's machine.

He's heading for his pit.

Well, that's a real tough break

for Richard petty,

a great champion.

And there's the white flag.

One lap to go for Mike marsh.

There goes arp now. He's really

moved up after that last pit stop.

And he has marsh in sight

as they come out of turn two,

but arp's still

a full lap behind.

And it looks like time has run out

for the second dazarian car.

And there's the checkered flag

as they lap a slower car.

It's Mike marsh first,

Bobby Johns second,

and ned arp in third place.

Looked pretty good

your first time out.

Picked yourself up some money, too.

Why did you make me slow down?

Well, I guess I figured

you were going too fast.

Well, you didn't make marsh slow down.

When you get to be

marsh, you can squawk.

Until then, you listen.

Bobby Johns was second place,

and ned arp,

driving the team car

to marsh's Ford was third.

Table?

Right this way.

Hiya, skinny.

Hi. What are you two doing

so far from Carolina?

Came all the way just to

have a drink with you.

What are you doing all alone?

Can't you get some dates?

Well, we got one.

She'll be here any minute, we hope.

Which half do you get, Jake?

He gets the half...

Here she comes.

Hi, sugar.

Hi, Leroy.

Hi, Jake.

Hi.

Mmm, ain't that something to see.

Why, thank you.

My. My pretty as a picture.

Thank you.

So glad you could come.

Well, I knew I had a date

with one of y'all,

but I didn't know which one.

Jake, we got to separate.

It's getting so people

can't tell us apart.

- Your date was with me, sugar.

- Are you sure?

My friend, Leroy, I hate

to disagree, with you...

Now, now, fellas, look here,

I can't stand

this violent arguing.

So while y'all make up y'all's

minds and come to some decision,

I'll go to the powder room.

You know, she, uh... she looks pretty good.

Sure does.

Ok, call it.

I'll call...

Uh-oh.

Oh ho.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, yes.

I would like one of those

uh... what do you call it'?

Vodka with the juice

of an orange.

Screwdriver.

Yes, thank you.

Oh. Excuse me.

But, which of these monies do

i put in the machine?

I would like to get some cigarettes.

Let's see now, uh,

you need a quarter and a nickel.

I'll get them for you.

- Oh, thank you.

- What kind do you smoke?

Any kind.

Care for one of mine?

Oh. Thank you.

Y'all sure have a funny

accent when you speak.

Are you French from France?

Oh, yes, I am.

I've just come.

Welcome to our shores.

Here you are.

How about a drink'?

- Well, I've just ordered one from the bar.

- I'll fetch it for you.

Do you have a drink for the lady?

Yes, sir.

Screwdriver.

You seem to be doing very well.

Only in the interest of

better foreign relations.

That's a new word for it.

- Here you are, ma'am.

- Oh.

Mademoiselle was just expressing

an interest in racing.

Is that right?

Yes. I love racing.

Are you a driver?

Yes, ma'am. My

name's Leroy eggers.

I'm Gabrielle queneau.

Tell me, what do you

people think of de gaulle?

- Oh, that would take a very long time.

- I'm very interested in foreign affairs.

Look, Leroy, that is a topic better

discussed some other place.

I think you're right, Jake. Over dinner.

Would you care to have dinner?

Leroy, you seem to be forgetting

you already have plans.

I think you're forgetting, Jake.

I just heard you a

moment ago making a date

with a very pretty girl.

That little black-haired

girl?

The one that preferred me to you?

Now, Leroy, you are carrying this too far.

Might I interrupt?

What's going on?

We're doing just fine, thank you.

These two nice gentlemen were

just asking me to dinner.

They were?

It's really none of your affair.

We don't mean to be unfriendly,

but you are intruding.

I am?

- Definitely.

- Without a doubt.

You're sure'?

Jake if he needs convincing...

I guess we'll have

to convince him.

Hello, boys.

- Hey, pat.

- Say, I didn't know you fellas met.

We haven't.

Oh, you haven't? This is Jake moffit

and Leroy eggers.

Two pretty good boys.

- Jake.

- Hi.

- Leroy.

- This is Dan McCall.

Dan McCall.

Just won the race

in Italy... monza?

That's one.

And, uh...

The week before that, that

big one in england?

That's two of 'em. He's here

to drive one of my cars.

Looks like we went a little wide

on that last turn there, Jake.

By the way we haven't met.

I'm pat kazarian.

Oh, Gabrielle queneau, pat.

This is the girl I told you about.

I've heard about you.

What about that dinner?

Dinner? Uh, we're late.

Oh, yeah, for an appointment. Sorry.

- Nice meeting you.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Hi, pat. You ready?

Well, if you have some peanut butter

and jelly on raisin bread toast.

You ready to eat?

- Lead on.

- What's peanut butter?

Well, you'll find out. That's exactly

what he's going to get. C'mon.

Come on!

Let's go, 7!

About time you showed up.

Oh...

I had to see what... I had
