INSIDE THE BLACKHAWKS Graham criticizes defense for overtime loss sitting on a hot iron and knowing you're getting burned, but mentally Just blocking the pain out" After being helped from bis Ford after the race, Rudd lay prone for several minutes before he was able to celebrate. Several drivers were relieve because of exhaustion during the race, and most who finished immediately sought refuge in their air1 conditioned trailers or the infield care center, where they were pumped with fluids and oxygen. Rudd, a Chesapeake, Va, native, recorded his 20th career win and third on the oval, Winston Cup's oldest and shortest track.

Series points leader Jeff Gordon followed Rudd into the first turn out of the 11th and final caution with 51 laps left, but never made a serious bid for the lead and wound up second, his 14th consecutive top-five finish. Mark Martin finished third and fell another five points behind Gordon in the championship race.

He was doused with scalding water by a well-meaning crew trying to cool him off. And his cooling system wasn't working at all But with a car he knew he could win in and a piece of NASCAR Winston Cup history as the prize Ricky Rudd wasn't giving up the car for anyone. "If our car wasn't so darn good, I know I would have given the steering wheel over to Hut Stricklin," Rudd said Sunday after winning the NAPA Auto-Care 500 in sizzling heat at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. "I could taste Victory Lane today. I knew I was getting close." The gutsy triumph extended Rudd's streak of seasons with a victory to 16, moving him past Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Wal-trip and into sole possession of the consistency record on stock car racing's premier circuit And it came despite conditions that began as dangerous with temperatures in the 90s outside and around 150 inside the cars and then got worse.

During a pit stop, Rudd's team handed him a glass of water. "I said, 'Man, I need more than a glass of water. I need a garden hose, Rudd said. "They used the cool-down machine, which is basically ice water, but I guess they weren't paying attention and the hose was laying in the hot sun, so it was about 150 degrees and it just about cooked me." Rudd's helmet, designed to blow cool air onto his head and cool his seat, also malfunctioned, leaving him hotter still with blisters 6verywher6.

The Fire (20-12) will open the playoffs Thursday night at Soldier Field against the Colorado Rapids with regular keeper Zach Thornton in goal 3 don't know if that's 100 percent that Campos is leaving Tuesday," Fire coach Bob Bradley said after Sunday's game. "Pumas has had a few injuries and they eKpressed an interest in getting Jorge back earlier and he said it might be in his best interests to go, back." Campos has at least one more year on his contract with the league. Whether Pumas buys out that year or Campos returns to the league next season with the Eire or another MLS club is still unknown. evening, MLS Deputy Commissioner Sunil Gulatl would say only that he planned to meet with Campos.

"-Rumors of Campos' return to Mexico have been circulating for about a month.

"I haven't had this problem since juniors, so I didn't know what to expect You can be out six weeks on this, there's no way I want to miss six weeks." Gilmour still hasn't played alongside probable linemate Eric Daze, who ended his holdout a day after Gilmour's injury. Starting strong: The first period was probably the Hawks' best of the preseason. The Hawks dominated play, taking 16 shots on goal compared with four for Montreal, and led 2-0 going into the first intermission.

Alex Zhamnov scored the first goal on a power play that was really a S-on-3 because Montreal's Turner Stevenson was barely out of the penalty box when Zhamnov scored. "Sometimes it's hard to play when you don't get very many shots, when you're a little cold back there," Graham said. Fitzpatrick has allowed eight goals on 40 shots in two exhibition losses. Still waiting: Doug Gilmour is still listed as day-to-day with a groin pull, but he has been day-to-day-to-day-to-several-more-days already and that probably won't change Monday at St Louis. "I dont think so," he said.

"You don't want to get into a situation where you're not 100 percent and everyone else is. Right now, I want to play Thursday at Ottawa" Gilmour suffered a pulled groin muscle Sept 19 and was expected back by now. Gilmour said the main problem is not the pain but the potential for aggravating the injury. rsvN Sutton captures Texas Open; Hetherington wins LPGA playoff GraphicsDesktop Publishing i THERE'S A REASON WHY SOME INVESTMENT BANKERS LOOK SO GOOD AND YOU'RE IT. UPS I By Michael Rosenberg Tribune Staff Writer The Blackhawks had to overcome the play of two goalies Sunday night the Canadians' Jocelyn Thibault and their own Mark Fitz-Patrick.

It turned out to be too much for the Hawks, who lost to Montreal 5-4 in overtime at the United Center. Fitzpatrick faced only 18 shots compared with 37 for Thibault. But that was enough. The Hawks surrendered three power-play goals after taking a 3-1 lead; then lost after Mark Recchi deflected a shot past Fitzpatrick 26 seconds into overtime. Coach Dirk Graham said that Fitzpatrick was not the only Hawk to blame.

"They need to realize defense is part of our game," he said. As for Fitzpatrick's play?
