was prepared to deal with. Atherton
pulled the trigger in an attempt to close
the distance, and in tum lost more time
as he simply put too much horsepower
to the ground.
"I just spun it," Atherton said. "1
knew that I didn't want to lead him
because he had drafted by me pretty
easily on the front straight a couple laps
before that."
Once out of the corner, Parker
dropped his elbow and headed for the
stripe. Atherton was able to draw close
in the ·final· few feet, but it wasn't
enough. Parker had the victory.
"The pace really picked up on the
last five laps," Parker said. "1 was trying
to save the tire, and I just figured that
I'd catch him toward the middle of the
corner instead of goin' in if he came by.
It surprised me that Will was there for a
while, because I didn't really think that
anyone else was back there. There was
so much racing going on, I just thought,
'Hey, it's time to get it on.'''

year was decided, but little did anyone
know that the Parker/Atherton feud
was far from over, for less than 24 hours
later and more than 300 miles away, the
Grand National boys were set to do it all .

And if Atherton had known how that

likely that he would have left Indianapolis with a big grin on his face. CN
