mstevens@wdbj7.com Rain from the sky and water

coming up from the ground led to 7
hours worth of rain delays out in
Calfiornia yesterday for the Sprint Cup
cars. Finally at 1am - late last night
- they postponed the race and decided
to come back today and try again.

At 1pm eastern the drivers were
greeted by a little bit of sunshine,
but not so many fans. Only about 25
thousand of the track's 120 thousand
seats were occupied today.

The race came down to a late
shootout between Jimmie Johnson and
Carl Edwards.

CHANNEL=A VO-NAT
VO-NAT

*CG locator Fontana, CA

FOX Johnson came out of the pits with :00 the lead with 26 laps to go. But
Edwards came from third and roared to
the front to capture the eighth victory
of his career. The two would trade the
lead with 13 laps to go before Edwards
captured the lead for good. He won
under caution after Dale Jarrett spun
out late.

The Roush Fenway driver
punctuated the win with his traditional

back flip victory celebration. Johnson
was second and Jeff Gordon 3rd.

Junior ended up 40th.

(END SOT) softball team has begun their

2-thousand and 8 campaign and to those
on the outside it has been a rather
successfull beginning, but don't tellt
hat to the Hokies.

(BITES:)

Tech has been behind the 8 ball
when it comes to practice, having to
work out indoors mostly due to weather
and the construction going on to their
field.

(BITES:)

But when you have All-American
Angela Tincher on the mound things are

always looking up, but even Tinch has
things she can continue to improve on.

(BITES:)

The Hokies next scheduled Home
game is March 12th against U-N-C
