led the rest of the race had it not been for this Jimmy Spencer induced spin in
turn four on lap 328.
((JEFF GORDON/GOODY'S 500 WINNER:))
Not only did he come back but he took over, resuming the lead on lap 376
and never looking back. Gordon led a track record 432 circuits in the 500 lap
event. At times his dominating performance was a dizzying experience for all
involved.
((JEFF GORDON/GOODY'S 500 WINNER:))
Lost in all of Gordon's dominance was the top performance of the season by
a Pontiac. Bobby Hamilton had the STP Pontiac in front for 48 laps, and he
eventually came home in second thanks to a beefed up pit crew.

The Cup cars now head to Talladega to the super speedway this coming
