Sioux City journal Saturday, Aug. 26, 2000 B5 Wallace takes eighth pole of season BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) Not even a mechanical defect can stop Rusty Wallace when it comes to qualifying. Wallace won the pole Friday night for the goracing.com 500, even though the throttle on his car broke as he turned his first qualifying lap at Bristol Motor Speedway. "I was coming off of turn four going for the white flag and I almost got to the start-finish line when the throttle broke," Wallace said.

"The actual gas pedal broke on it and I thought sWhat the heck happened So I coasted across the line, and evidently I had enough speed coming off the corner." He ran a qualifying lap of 125.477 mph on the high-banked, 0.533-mile, concrete bullring to earn his eighth pole of the season. Jeff Gordon nearly bumped him off of it when he took his turn three spots later, turning a lap of 125.469 mph. "I would have loved to have run it on through and see how fast we really could have gone," we'll take that." Steve Park, who set the track qualifying record in March, will start third in the Saturday night race. He was followed by Mike Skinner and Jerry Nadeau. Tony Stewart, Mark Martin, Sterling Marlin, Robert Pressley and Kevin Lepage rounded out the top 10.

Kyle Petty, running in his final Winston Cup race of the year, will start 25th. Petty is stepping out of his car to concentrate on driving his late son Adam's car on the Busch Grand National circuit. Steve Grissom will take over Petty's Cup car next week at Darlington. Wallace, seeking to become the first four-time winner this season and first driver to win consecutive races, built a brand new car for Saturday's race. He passed on bringing the car he named "Bristol" to the track even though he drove it to victory here in March for his eighth career win at the short track.

So to have mechanical failure on the new car was especially disappointing to Wallace. USD wins first-round match at INK volleyball tournament KEARNEY, Neb.

"You start wondering where you bobbled and where you could have picked up a thousandth of a second, but No. 2 is not bad and Wallace said. "Turns out it was a close call because Gordon almost had me." Gordon thought he had bested Wallace when he pulled off the track after running just one qualifying lap instead of the allowed two.
