"Hi there,
everybody, and welcome to another
exciting season of Phillies baseball.
I'm Mike Fowler along with Larry
Phillips bringing you today's game
against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Today's game is brought to you buy
Budweiser - let's all pop the top on
an ice cold Bud."
Phillips: "Now for the Old Spice
weather report. It's a balmy 70 de
grees with the wind blowing out to
right. Remember, if you can't get the
girls with Old Spice, you must be
dog ugly."
Fowler: "First up for the Phillies
is centerfielder Steve Wilson, who is
taking over for the injured Lenny
Dykstra. Orel Hershiser is on the
mound for the Dodgers, and his first
pitch to Wilson is a ball, high and
outside. That pitch was brought to
you by Camel cigarettes because
why shouldn't you smoke? After
all, you could be hit by a truck to
morrow."
Phillips: "Orel is quite a story,
playing so well after having career-
threatening arm surgery just two
years ago. His paternal grandmoth
er's maiden name was Peterson, as
was his doctor's. Orel Hershiser's
family history was brought to you
by Advil. If Advil can't cure your
headache, then it has to be a brain
tumor." ')[, i orlw
Fowler: "The next pitch from
Hershiser is fouled back by Wilson.
That foul ball is brought to you by
Disc Jockey. Look for the new al
bum from New Kids On the Block,
'Dancing the Lambada with Satan',
on sale now."
Phillips: "Steve this year had to
get seme bigger deats, It seems that
His feet grew seme ever the winter,

Waltrip takes Shootout
NASCAR veteran outduels Schrader for win at TWS
DARRIN HILL/The Battalion
Darrell Waltrip (17) drives his Chevy Lumina into the lead Earnhardt. Waltrip averaged over 135 miles per hour Sunday
ahead of a paclc including fellow NASCAR veteran Dale in his win at the Texas Wand Speedway.
By MICHAEL PLUMER
The Battalion
Sunday's ARCA-NASCAR Winston
West Shootout at Texas World Speedway
was a one-man show.
Darrell Waltrip blew away the field,
registering a full lap victory over second
place finisher Ken Schrader, who was fol
lowed by Tim Steele, Hershel McGriff
and Dale Earnhardt.
Waltrip averaged 135.505 miles per
hour in taking the checkered flag.
Six caution flags slowed the overall
pace of the race but that did not stop Wal
trip from turning laps at over 188 mph.
"This was a big win for the team,"
Waltrip said. "I just pray we can win
something else the rest of the season."
Waltrip was doubly pleased with the
results because of his efforts in the Win
ston Cup race on Saturday. Waltrip,
along with Schrader and Earnhardt, com
peted in the Motorcraft 500 in Atlanta,
where Waltrip was forced out early in the
race due to camshaft problems.
"Our car owner is much happier with
the results," Waltrip said. "Some days,
like Saturday, are like that. Things just
don't go our way all the time, but in this
race they did."
Since the three drivers were in Atlanta,
they were not able to qualify their cars for
the race, Substitute drivers qualified the
ears, whieh eaused the trie t© have te start
from the rear ©f the paek,
Earnhardt, starting in 40th niaee,
passed 10 ears ©n the first lap, and by the
27th lap it became apparent that the race
would belong to the three racers making
a rare appearance on the Winston West
circuit.
Waltrip took the lead or) lap 28, a lead
which he would never relinquish, with
Earnhardt in second place. Schrader
joined the leaders on lap 50, moving into
third place after overcoming gear shift
problems.
Schrader said he was pleased with the
results.
"This is a beautiful track and I was
happy with the way we ran," he said.
"We had problems early in the race, but
we were able to overcome those and have
a good finish."
Waltrip and Schrader pulled away
from the field in the latter stages of the
race, enjoying an almost 12-second ad
vantage over the third place car of Mc
Griff.
Waltrip said that he was happy to see
Schrader in his rear-view mirror.
"I felt good he was back there because
he gave the needed push that kept us out
in front during the race," Waltrip said.
"For a while, I actually thought he want
ed to do some racing. That was kind of
scary."
Schrader said that although he could
not catch up to Waltrip, it was not from a
lack of trying.
"I knew there was no w^y anybody
was going t© eateh Darrell, @© we deeided
t© wait until the end t© make a move/'
fghrader said, "But it kind ©f baekfired,
iehrader ran out ©f gas ©n the final
lap, which allowed Waltrip to have even
more breathing-room at the finish.
"We gambled but it just didn't work
out," Schrader said. "Once I ran out of
gas, I coasted with the momentum I had
and then fired up the car again after I
came to an almost complete stop.
"I must have done that twice, but I was
still able to finish second. That is nice."
The first part of the race belonged to
the Winston West regulars as Loy Allen
and polesitter Page Jones attempted to
run away from the field in the first 25
laps. But caution flags slowed them
down and allowed Waltrip and Earn
hardt an opportunity to climb back into
contention.
Jones was in contention until lap 34
when he spun out and hit the wall, end
ing his day.
"The end was disappointing, but we
were running good until I had the acci
dent," Jones said. "I am not sure what
happened, but we will be back."
•, Sunday's race marked the first time
regular Winston Cup drivers competed at
the track since 1981. The track had fallen
into disrepair because of the former own-
er's financial problems, but has blos
somed under new ownership.
"There was a great crowd, which is
very encouraging,' v Waltrip said. "The fa
cilities here are great, but the best thing is
the track is in the Texas market,
"All the ingredients are here fer this t©
be a regular step ©n the NAICAR circuit,
but we are driven by scheduling, H©p@=
fully gemething can be werked ©ut."
