4:57 PM Whit and Del have met seven times this season and Del has won four of them. This time performance is on the side of Bazemore. Worsham deep stages and did he throw Whit? Don't know but when I looked up there was a big red bulb lighted on the tree in Whit's lane. Worsham smokes the tires but it was of no matter. He has the event win and goes out of 2001 on a high.
