Down the road.(Pop Secret 400, automobile race)(Brief Article)
Race: Pop Secret 400, No. 32 of 36.
When: 1 p.m. (Eastern) Sunday, TNT.
Where: North Carolina Speedway, 1.017-mile oval, Rockingham, N.C.
Last year's winner:, Dale Jarrett.
Three to watch: Ricky Rudd, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon.
Key to winning: "Track position certainly helps, and that's where the pit crew comes in. The pit crew did a fantastic job getting me out first there (last fall), and that was really the key at the end." --Dale Jarrett
See a different game: The track has a reputation for chewing up tires, but the harder tire that Goodyear provided for the first race made tires less of an issue. Still, it's difficult to pass at The Rock, and teams must tinker with setups all afternoon. Fast pit stops equal better track position.
