ladies on to victory,” Jones
said.
“I was nervous as we start
ed the match,” Jones added.
“During warm-ups we were
a little flat and missed sev
eral swings at the ball. Then
in the pregame huddle I saw
a look in everyone’s eyes
that 1 have been waiting to
see all season and I knew we
had Morrow.”
Morrow, he added, “played
a heck of a match and we had
to earn the victory but the
ladies just had the look of a
champion in their eyes.”
Jones also singled out
Doebereiner for her leader
ship and said it was great
to see the students rush the
court and cheer and hug the
girls.

WHY CANT WE BE FRIENDS:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. crashed
on the final lap Sunday, just
a mile shorj of the finish
line. He was leading when
Brian Vickers rear-ended
Jimmie Johnson, which
turned Johnson’s car into
Earnhardt Jr.’s. Vickers
went on to win the race.
Earnhardt Jr., however,
wasn’t mad at Vickers. He
was upset with Jeff Gordon.
“(Vickers) just got excit
ed trying to push the No.
48 (Johnson),” Earnhardt
Jr. said. “I don’t think he
should lose any points or
anything. He didn’t wreck
anybody on purpose. He was
just racing hard there.”
Gordon complained sev
eral times that Earnhardt
Jr. was using his front bum
per as a battering ram to
push people through traffic
- or knock people out of the
way.
“I pushed Jeff Gordon
into the lead five times and
every time I do that, he com
plains that I’m bump-draft
ing him in the corners an
blah, blah, blah,” Earnhardt
Jr. said. “So I’m not going
to push him anymore.
Besides, every time I help
him out, he never gives it
back in return. That’s why
he doesn’t have too many
friends out there.”

place Sunday.
Teams were allowed to
pick their spots on pit road
based on results from pole
qualifying, and the spots
closest to Turn 1 went in a
hurry. The reason: A giant
television screen.
The 2.66-mile Talladega
Superspeedway is the big
gest track in NASCAR, so
it’s easy for pit crews to lose
sight of their drivers. The
giant Nextel Vision screens
allowed teams at the end of
pit road to turn around and
watch the race.
MARTIN STIU FISHING
Although Mark Martin will
drive 22 races next year
for MB2 Motorsports and
Chevrolet, he’s still trying to
land a deal in the NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series
with Jack Roush.
The car owner, however,
wasn’t biting. Roush uses
Fords and he said it’s not
likely Ford will allow a
Chevrolet driver inside one
of their trucks next year.
“That’s an interesting
prospect, but unless Ford
changes their position on it
and the other manufactur
ers would do the same, we
really don’t have the pre
rogative to mix our manu
factures and our programs,”
Roush said. “I don’t see
that. I’ll be talking to Cisco
Codina on Sunday and I’ll
certainly bring that to his
attention, but I think it’s
unlikely.”
