It started out with 4, then 3,

now it's down to 2.

The only thing between stroker Ace

and the checkered flag is Aubrey James.

Doesn't matter what I think,

but in 3 miles or in 2 laps,

one of these 2 guys will be

the Nascar champion.

I got you now!

Damn!

It's the white flag. One lap to go.

30 seconds and Harold Kinder

will drop the checkered flag

on what portends to be

a dramatic finish.

Come on, 10!

The whole Nascar season will be decided

between these 2 guys

by just a matter of inches.

Come on!

How's this for spectacular?

Wa-hoo!

Unbelievable!

Upside-down over the finish line.

Hee hee! Woo!

Hey, stroker!

Did you see that?

You should have seen it!

Whoa!

That's kind of a Jimmy Stewart.

It's Burt.

It's me.

Nothing but white pages.

Give me some stickum, will you?

Ain't you going to read it, stroker?

Of course I'm going to read it.

There's print in here,

and it's right side up.

Let's go.
