### After the race

(The Piston Cup by Ryan Newman plays)

Jerry Punch: Murray Clutchburn, you are the most popular racer in the 1990s. You got your first Piston Cup today.

Murray Clutchburn: Thanks a lot. I'm great I won today. We had great short runs like that there in the end and before that we had a great run and, Chick Hicks and The King fought me and I think it just pushed a right front tire off I was going to quick begin with. I feel great and this thing was uh, we did qualify 22nd and we worked up to the end. It's a pretty awesome day.

Jerry Punch: How did you do that because you do that because you weren't good on qualifying. You started 22nd, and manage to get in the top 10, and on the final lap you passed Chick to the finish did you.

Murray Clutchburn: We'll, I was leading for a while until a caution. Then after that caution Ponchy Wipeout crashed, we took advanage to pass Chick Hicks, to win the Piston Cup. What until the end of the year, (thinking of year for keep saying that, and then millennium) in the millennium! Right?
