Race 9: 2002 Auto Club 300 @ CaliforniaTop 5 starters: 1. #60 - Greg Biffle 2. #24 - Jack Sprague 3. #26 - Ron Hornaday 4. #38 - Elton Sawyer 5. #21 - Mike Dillon DNQs: #32 - Dan Pardus, #41 - Austin Cameron, #52 - Brad Teague Top 10 finishers: 1. #48 - Kenny Wallace 2. #38 - Elton Sawyer 3. #21 - Mike Dillon 4. #2 - Johnny Sauter (R) 5. #66 - Casey Mears (R) 6. #47 - Shane Hmiel (R) 7. #14 - Larry Foyt 8. #37 - Jeff Purvis 9. #36 - Hank Parker Jr. 10. #18 - Mike McLaughlin Race Facts: 30 laps (60.00 mi) Caution Flags: 0 (0 laps) Lead Changes: 6 (6 drivers) Weather: Clear, 55 °F, West 11 mph Purse: $1,083,176 (Winner's share: $94,713) Top 10 in the standings: 1 +1 Kenny Wallace 1387 2 -1 Greg Biffle 1334 3 +1 Jamie McMurray 1185 4 -1 Randy LaJoie 1182 5 +1 Mike Dillon 1173 6 +3 Elton Sawyer 1153 7 +1 Ashton Lewis 1101 8 +2 Shane Hmiel 1101 9 -4 Jason Keller 1090 10 +1 Jeff Purvis 1082 Out of the top 10: Scott Riggs (11th) As you can see, the standings have had an earthquake the last few weeks. But it seems that Kenny Wallace and Greg Biffle have pulled away from the field, as they have won 6/9 (nice) races so far. The other main surprise is dark horses like Lajoie and Dillon inside the top 5 in points. Wallace's teammate, Shane Hmiel, is the best performing rookie points-wise, having notched his 5th top ten already. Pics: We are underway in California! 
What a way to enter the first turn of the first lap: FIVE-WIDE, BABY! 
Ron Hornaday leads his first lap in the #26 car. It's the second the team has led this season! 
Several Fords dragging that Chevy back within striking distance! 
Kenny Wallace makes a bold move to go three-wide into the turn (he makes it out successfully). 
Pit Stops for the only time today 
Kenny Wallace has beat Sawyer to take the lead! 
Jimmy Spencer becomes the only retirement this race, with a blown header with 5 to go. 
Kenny wins for the 4th time this season, a dominating performance by the Missouri native!
