Pepsi 400 Tickets

The Winston Cup series - put on a show that finished in a volley of fireworks and a first time winner in triumph lane. The race winner's as well as the winning car owner's names stand for years of racing brilliance. It was the team of Andretti and Yarborough working jointly that got the #98 RCA Ford its first victory in the 39th version of the Pepsi 400 2005.

John Andretti, working with the knowledge gained at Talladega, was on a assignment to show the world that he could be a power in a Winston Cup race. Andretti started his 400-mile voyage in the third position but he wouldn't stay there long and by lap number three Andretti was on the point, just as he would be for some 113 of the 160 circuits that made up today's race. As mentioned, Andretti conquered the race, but had to clear one obstacle before he could take home the winner's paycheck of $109,525 - a one lap shootout.

The caution flew on lap 157 after Ricky Rudd cut a tire and went into the turn two wall. The track workers got the debris clean in time for NASCAR to throw the green and white flags on lap 159. Andretti had no other than Dale Earnhardt lined up right behind him. Andretti, having learned a trick from Jeff Gordon, knew that you want to keep Dale Earnhardt as close to your back bumper as you can in order to keep the 'Intimidator' from getting a run at you. As Andretti came to take the green and white flags he saw that Earnhardt was too far behind for his liking and about came to a dead stop so that Earnhardt would have to close up on Andretti's bumper. Andretti brought the field to green at what looked to be a 45 mile an hour clip. When the pilot of the #98 RCA Ford got to the line he nailed it and the chase was on. Andretti was able to construct a good cushion over Earnhardt by the time they got to the first turn. Good Pepsi 400 tickets and information are available through our agency.
That cushion got larger when Jarrett caught up to Earnhardt and they got to racing each other in turns one and two. Terry Labonte saw this and came past the 3 and 88 as they raced each other. From there, things got a little untamed with the field getting four and five wide at places. Andretti just kept it floored as the trio of Ward Burton, Mark Martin and Dick Trickle came into turn three - running in about the 6th through 8th positions - Burton down low - too low - Martin in the middle and Trickle up top. As Burton entered the turn he had to move his line up and at the same time it showed that Trickle moved his line down. Martin, caught in the middle, got sandwiched by the two cars and that is when it all broke loose. Good Pepsi 400 tickets and information are available through our agency. Burton, Martin and Trickle came up on the speedway - their cars tearing apart. Those behind them just motored into the chaos and when all was said and done there were nine cars caught up in the wreck. Besides Martin, Burton, and Trickle, the cars of Rick Mast, Derrike Cope, Lake Speed, Bobby Hamilton, Joe Nemechek, and Jerry Nadeau were all mixed up with several resembling little more than junk when the smoke cleared.
Andretti watched this all in his back view mirror as he dashed towards the line with Terry Labonte in tow. Andretti got to the line a slight 0.029 seconds ahead of Labonte. "When I came to the checkered flag, I wasn't sure, if we'd had to go one more lap whether I'd have been able to deal with (Labonte.) I'm glad we ended at that point. I'm sorry to see there was an accident, but that didn't have an effect on the finish.
Terry Labonte who had been 'struggling' all week, happened to do what he's done in his last three starts here at Daytona - finish in the second spot. The driver that completed third was the 'king' of plate racing, Sterling Marlin. Marlin, who got behind a lap early on in the race due to a cut tire, caught a break from Mark Martin. Martin let him get his lap back as the caution flew on lap 125 for the revolving car of Jeff Gordon. "I love this place," said Marlin. "These Firecracker 400s have been good for me. I've run second four times and ran third today. We won last year. I love this place."
The points fight took on a new shape after the last-lap wreck but Jeff Gordon was able to take Gatorade's $50,000 for leading the series points fight at the season halfway point. Wonder Boy almost had a taste of ruin today when his #24 DuPont Chevrolet smacked the wall coming out of turn two on lap 125. Gordon's car then spun across the track into a pack of approaching traffic but never hit a thing. Gordon gathered it up and got back to the pits for tires, never losing a lap on the track. Team babble seemed to indicate that either many tachometers had broken or that the pace car was circling the track at an strangely slow pace during this caution period. Gordon ended up concluding 21st and was able to keep the series points lead. Terry Labonte, with his second place finish pulled into second place in the series points - 54 points behind Gordon. And Mark Martin, who looked like he might be in a situation to be in the series points lead, leaves Daytona third 110 points behind Gordon. The Pepsi 400 2005 will take around 2 hours 30 minutes to finish and held an average speed of 157.791 miles per hour. The caution flag flew a total of 4 times for 16 laps. There were 16 lead changes among 11 drivers throughout the event. Andretti gets the five extra points for leading the most laps.
