Second-hand just don't appeal to me. Ok?

Now, lay off.

Mike, see these eyeballs?

They're not new,

but they're good enough

to see through you.

Now, I'll tell you something...

I don't want to be around

when you eat those words.

I don't want to be

anywhere near.

Good night.

There's the green flag,

and the first lap is on

in the Atlanta 500.

There's a long, long way to go.

Biff Taylor in car 01

takes the lead.

Mike marsh is second in car number 28.

Dan McCall is third in car 17.

Ned arp in car 22

has just passed petty.

Car 25 is in 10th position.

That makes three cars

from the pat kazarian team

in the first 10 positions.

Derringer.

Wait a minute! Daryl derringer in

car number 16 is into the wall!

He's lost his front tire,

heading for the pit on

three wheels and a bumper.

No other cars involved.

All cars clear on the outside.

Looks like Darryl will

make it into the pit ok,

but will he

get back into the race?

We'll stay on the green flag

as we continue in the fourth lap

here in the Atlanta 500.

Records are still falling

as we go into the 172nd lap

with 242 rugged miles

still to go,

and Mike marsh in car number 28

and Bobby eisigs in car 26

running side by side.

Wait a minute!

Eggers is losing it.

Ned arp can't avoid him.

He's sliding down the track.

They're both against the rail.

Arp's holding his own.

He's steering his car

into the infield.

Leroy eggers in car 6

and ned arp

have both managed

to get into the infield.

There's Leroy eggers.

He's ok.

And there's ned arp.

Seems to be alright.

Uh oh. They're walking

toward each other.

There may be trouble.

No, no, no.

No trouble.

There's no hard feelings.

Just racing luck.

Alright, the track is clear,

and the green light is still on.

Oh, I don't know what happened,

but there's a car

sliding on its back.

A.J. Foyt is spinning

into the infield.

It's Paul goldsmith who's

upside down in car 25.

The yellow flag

will be up for this one.

What a race this has been.

With only 20 laps to go,

it's been a seesaw battle

between Mike marsh in 28

and Marvin panch in the 21 car.

Somebody else in in trouble.

I can't see the number

from here.

Wait a minute, it's

Dan McCall in car 17.

He's on the edge of the track.

A great job of control.

McCall's ok, but I'm

afraid he's out of the race

as it looks from here.

Well, the duel's still on,

and panch is trying desperately

to get ahead of marsh in car 28.

But, marsh is doing a fine

job of holding him off

as we go into the final

laps of this 500 mile race.

In third place is

Richard petty who is...

- Hi, kid. You ok?

- I'm ok.

What happened?

Well, Leroy eggers bounced off

the wall in front of me.

I couldn't miss him.

Well, you can't miss them all.

Well, that's two in a row. That's pretty

good for a start.

Uh-oh. Marsh

is falling back.

Something's wrong with Mike's car.

Pat, Mike's in trouble.

He's out of the turn,

dropping down to the apron.

Here comes Mike marsh now,

heading for the pit.

We don't know

what the trouble is,

but it's not a scheduled stop.

Looks like marsh may be

out of this race.

Even if they can repair the car,

it looks like marsh has lost

his chance to win.

What a bad break for Mike marsh.

He dominated this race,

but it now it looks like panch

will be the winner.

This is a tough one for marsh.

He needed this win to keep

him in contention...

The header on this side's leaking.

We can weld it.

Put him down over here.

Get some oxygen. C'mon.

Get that frame off his head.

Don't break his neck.

Don't hit me.

I'm on your team.

We're losing time.

Hurry!

Alright, arp. Here's

your chance to win one.

Go on, get in there.

Here's a flash from marsh's pit.

The car is ok,

and kazarian is sending in

ned arp to finish the race.

Ned arp is in car 28

and is 32 seconds behind.

There goes arp. Out of the pit

in second place,

and he'll have to catch

Marvin panch, the leader, in car 21.

Arp has a long way to go, though,

if he's going to catch panch

in the laps remaining.

Arp has a slim chance,

and he's pulling all the

stops in an effort to win..

Here comes panch now and...

Hold it!

Panch is in trouble.

Your leader's slowing down,

heading for his pit.

Marvin panch is coming

down the pit road,

swerving from side to side.

Apparently he's lost his brakes

and has came in rather

than risk an accident.

How about that

for a twist of fate?

Just a few laps left. Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Biff Taylor in the

01 car is sliding.

The green flag is still on,

and there goes ned arp

in the lead.

He's pouring it on.

Ned arp is out in front,

and it looks

like the kazarian car

is going to win after all.

There's no stopping ned arp now

as he continues to pour it on.

He's heading around

toward the white flag.

And there's the checkered flag.

Ned arp wins.

Right. Go ahead, Joe.

Hi, pat.

Good race, pat.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Lindy, has Julie been

in here this evening?

I don't think so.

I haven't seen her.

- Thanks.

- This way, please.

Come in, pat.

Hello, kitten.

What are you doing?

I'm just waiting.

You might have to

wait a long time.

He was still at Lindy's

when I left there.

He wasn't alone, was he?

No.

No, he wasn't alone.

Going to let this go to waste?

All the bubbles are gone.

Like to scramble some eggs?

I just want to wait.

Good night, kitten.

Good night.

Arp, you in there?

Yeah, yeah.

Arm!

It's unlocked.

You no good... couldn't keep

your hands off her, could you?

Always trying to prove

you're some big shot.

No car you can't handle,

no girl you can't spoil.

Sure, she was ready,

just waiting for a man.

If you were a man, maybe,

but you're not a man.

You're just a rotten little kid.

You don't care what

you do, just grab...

Grab what you want,

grab who you want.

Never mind what it

might do to her.

Well, it's done.

She'll get over it.

But I tell you this, arp.

If you touch her again...

Now you listen to me.

You won't do a damn thing.

That's right.

Not a thing...

Not as long as I keep

winning races for you.

See how you think?

I feel sorry for you.

You're right, though.

You're right.

I won't do anything.

But winning races has nothing

to do with it.

The only reason I don't

go after you is Julie.

She's the reason. The only reason.

You think you're big

enough to handle me?

Ever see a tire iron

split a man's skull?

Every once in a while I need a little help.

I don't worry

about handling you.

I'll tell you this, the minute

she gets you out of her system,

the minute she's through with you,

look for me because

I'll be looking for you.

Now, do I make myself clear?

Is there any doubt in your

mind what I'm saying?

No matter what happens, it

won't come as a surprise.

And I hope it doesn't

happen, for your sake.

Now, look, mister.

Will you please!

Look, it's Sunday morning.

Yes, Sunday.

No, we're not open,

and we won't be open until

tomorrow afternoon at 4:00.
