| | CNN/SI - NASCAR - John Andretti takes Goody's 500 with strong finish - Monday April 19, 1999 10:59 AM |
 | | On Sunday, Andretti gave The King another lift to Victory Lane, where the former was met by a congratulatory Kyle Petty, his wife, Nancy Andretti, and his crew chief, Robbie Loomis. |
 | | Instead, it paid off big as Andretti's Pontiac inexplicably got better as the laps wound down, allowing him to erase a 2.8-second deficit in the final 19 laps, passing Gordon and then Burton on his way to victory. |
 | | Last year, Andretti ran out of gas while running second with seven laps remaining in the spring race at NASCAR shortest track, then cut a tire to drop out of contention with a strong car in the fall event. |
