#31 AC Spark Plug 500
Elliott Repeat Winner In Ac Spark Plug 500
It’s not difficult to understand why it took Bill Elliott until the very last turn of the final lap yesterday to let himself believe that he would repeat as AC Spark Plug 500 champ at Pocono International Raceway. Elliott qualified 14th in the 40-car field two mph slower than the lead pack, spent Lap 1 of yesterday’s NASCAR sprint in the pits getting new right side rubber because of a flat, and was seldom if ever a threat to the front runners in the first 150 of the 200 lap run.
