Elliott's Strategy Backfires, Bodine Wins Race At Pocono Geoff Bodine joined the list of multiple winners for the 1990 Winston Cup season by winning "Sunday's race at Pocono '.. International Speedway. i mrt Bodine beat out Bill Elliott, io was the only leader with 10 laps to go that had enough fuel to go the distance. Elliott had pitted last and "topped off" his fuel tank. This strategy went out the win- dow for Elliott when Ken Ragan hit the wall in turn one, on lap, 197, bringing out the caution flag and allowing everyone to conserve fuel by running at a slower speed. At the end of lap 199 both the white and green flags came out, leading to a one-lap shootout. Harry Gant was second at that time but ran out of gas and fell to 14th. Following Bodine and Elliott were Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt and Davey Allison. The race started with an empty drivers. Both did it successfully with Waltrip being credited with a 20th place finish and Marcis com- ing in at 28th. the very beginning but his ceow | kept him in the lead lap and he drove to a respectable finish. Dale Earnhardt had trouble from { | slot lap in memory of Rich Vogler, who was killed Saturday night in a midget car race in Salem, Ind. Vogler had qualified for Sunday's race in the 32nd position. His car was withdrawn. Vogler was leading the 30 lap event Saturday night and crashed with another car, hitting the fourth turn guard rail. The red flag was dropped, stopping the race. Since Vogler led the last green flag lap he was declared the winner. At Pocono, lap one featured Darrell Waltrip and Dave Marcis, injured at Daytona, being lifted jake Elder moved to the Robert | Yates team last week and, with Robert home with foot surgery, "Suitcase" Jake had one of the best cars on the track. But with the Ragan wreck, Davey Allison had to settle for fifth. Derrike Cope stayed in the top five most of the day but had a bad set up on his last pit stop and dropped to a 13th place finish. The movie "Days of Thunder" seems to have affected some of the drivers. In the last two races we have seen more multi-car crashed on super speedways than ever be- fore. from their cars for substitute STANDOUTS From Page 5-A school in a long time. He earned a reputation all over western North Carolina for his strong right arm which nailed a lot of runners who tried to take extra bases on hits. Cash hit .429 and drove in 23 runs--second only to state home run king Paul Brannon--in high school ball this spring and hit an even .300 in American Legion play. "He's probably one of the best streak hitters to come out of here in a long time," Coach Clark said. "The on- ly thing that holds him back is himself. He gets down on himself too easy because he expects too much of himself. When he gets over that, and he will in college because he'll be playing a lot more ballgames, he's go- ing to be an outstanding hitter. In college he will learn to accept the fact that you don't have to shine every time out. "He had the strongest arm on our team as far as an outfielder," Clark added. "He made tremendous im- provement in his attitude and work ethics, and I think he's really just beginning to play up to his potential. "Both Chip and Keith will represent Kings Mountain High School and this community very well at Montreat-Anderson," he added. "I look for that pro- gram to begin to really shine, especially if they're get- ting other players with the capabilities of our two." With the signing of Cash and Allen, seven of the nine starters on this year's KMHS team have signed college scholarships, six in baseball and one in basket- ball. Catcher Paul Brannon signed with Wake Forest and later backed out to sign a professional contract with the Seattle Mariners. "It's extremely exciting to see so many of our ath- letes have the opportunity to continue their education,” Clark said. "It's part of our responsibility as coaches to help them accomplish that goal. This is becoming a tradition for us and we hope to continue to have quali- ty players sign out of our program." = DEAN 739-5192 SPEARS CONSTRUCTION CO.
