Listen "1997 Dura Lube 500 presented by K-Mart (Phoenix)"
Episode Synopsis
Two races remain in the '97 Winston Cup season as the series visits Phoenix. Jeff Gordon has a comfortable points lead over Mark Martin and Dale Jarrett, but it is still within the margin that Gordon could lose the points lead with a very poor finish and strong runs by Martin and Jarrett. Bobby Hamilton won the pole and is defending champion of the event and has momentum after a winning last week at Rockingham. Martin is a former winner at Phoenix. Other favorites include Jeff Burton who has two flat track wins this season (Martinsville and Loudon) and Rusty Wallace who is always good on flat tracks. Dale Earnhardt is still winless in '97 and trying to break that lengthy losing streak. He's finished 2nd this season at both Loudon and Martinsville. Find out who goes to victory lane in the Valley of the Sun and if there is shake up in the points standings.
