NASCAR Images With just 5 laps to go things got :00 a little wild when Jamie McMurray hit
Dale Junior and in the process created
a mess so big that they had to red-flag
the race for more than 11 minutes. The
Multi-car crash on the backstretch took

out Junior and required some major
cleanup. Earnhardt finished 32nd.

Ther race restarted with a green
- white - checkered flag finish with
the most unlikely of leaders at the
front in Mark Martin. The 48 year-old
veteran - who has retired twice - lives
in Daytona but has never one the 500.

It looked like this would be his
day - but as the final pieces of
asphalt were crossed on the final lap -
Kevin Harvick nipped Martin at the
finish line by just a couple of feet in
one of the closest Daytona finishes in
history with Jeff Burton coming home
third in another Richard Childress car.
For Childress - it's his first trip to

(END SOT) on a chilly for senior day festivities

as Britney Anderson, Nare Diawara and
Kirby Copeland all took their final
bows inside Cassell Coliseum.

Copeland did her part to make it
a festive day scoring a team high 17
points as the Hokies led for about 80
percent of the game - and all but the
final five minutes of the second half.

But former William Fleming star
Khadijah Whitttington put on a show for
a huge following of star city
supporters who made the trek to
Blacksburg.

Whittington recorded the ninth
double-double of the season scoring a
team high 17 points and pulling down 10
rebounds. After she converted this
offensive putback with 452 to go - the
Pack never trailed again.

WHITTINGTON

Tech drew even down the stretch
and had several chances to tie the game
or regain the lead - but State's
defensive pressure was the difference
as a couple of key turnovers sealed the

Hokies' fate.

Tech loses its fourth straight
game falling to the Wolfpack 68-to-63.

Ben McCauley - who lit Tech up
for 20 at the Cassell added 16 points
for the Wolfpack who earned a season
sweep of the Hokies.

The Wolfpack shot 32 of 48 from

the field and 11 of 15 from 3-point

into a first place tie in the ACC. *CG final Virginia Tech
