4 Provisionals, 3 Go-Homes at Martinsville for Hanes 500

27 September 1997

MARTINSVILLE, VA - Second round qualifying has concluded at
Martinsville Speedway.

Jeremy Mayfield, Steve Grissom, Brett Bodine and Derrike Cope will
take provisional starting positions for tomorrow's Hanes 500.

Dave Marcis, Gary Bradberry and Morgan Shepherd all failed to qualify
and will pack up for the long trip home.

The 0.320-second separation from front to back in the starting grid
makes this the closest field in the history of the fall race here at
Martinsville Speedway.
