NOTES: The NASCAR Winston Cup Series gets back to business following Tuesday's release of a six-month investigation into the racing death of Dale Earnhardt ... Rusty Wallace has nine career wins at Bristol, including three of the last five. ... The 36-degree banking in the corners is the steepest on the circuit. Driver Kyle Petty said it's like riding a jet fighter inside a gymnasium. ... The key to Bristol is track position. Cars that run up front are less likely to be involved in the crashes that are common to short-track racing. Because there's so much banking and speeds reach the 125-mph range, it's hard to pass. Therefore, a good qualifying lap and quick pit stops are the best ways to gain track position.
