*** Now, reviewing the race.... Rusty 
Wallace's win in the Goody's Headache Powders 500 
Sunday not only made him the only driver to win the 
spring race at Martinsville Speedway four years in a 
row, but moved him into a third-place tie with Dale 
Earnhardt and Cale Yarborough on the all-time win list 
at the historic speedway with six. Richard Petty 
remains the leader at the .526-mile facility with 15 
wins. Darrell Waltrip is next 11.

*** Wallace's win moved him past the $13 
million mark on the all-time NASCAR Winston Cup money 
winnings list. His current total is $1,034,897.

*** Wallace now has won five of the last 
NASCAR Winston Cup races at Martinsville Speedway.
*** Speaking of Waltrip, Darrell's 16th-place 
finish in Sunday's race was the first time since the 
spring of 1988 that he has finished an April race at 
Martinsville outside the top five.

*** On the other hand, Dale Earnhardt's fifth-
place finish Sunday was the 14th top-five of his 
career at Martinsville. But, it was tile first one in 
the spring race since he won in 1991.

*** Jeremy Mayfield's fourth-place finish 
Sunday was the best run of his NASCAR Winston Cup 
career.
