 So is Burton who, like Gordon, will be seeking myrtle his beach third win of the season. Burton knows how tough the track can be. "You don''t expect to come here and win," he said. accomodations "But we expect to come to Darlington and run well." Gordon, a five-time Darlington winner, is in a run of bad luck that includes being taken out of contention in two of the last three races because of crashes he didn''t cause. He hopes for good weather Sunday, which would enable him to play out the winning pit strategy of 1995-98. myrtle Rain prevented that last year. "We took a chance and pitted for tires and gas during the second-to-last caution, hoping it would put us in position to win," the three-time series champion said. "But we were also hoping the rain would hold beach off. accomodations "Unfortunately for us, it didn''t." Also a prime contender is series champion Dale Jarrett, a two-time Darlington winner who is second to points leader Bobby Labonte despite no victories since the season-opening Daytona myrtle and beach 500. Top-5 fixture Tony Stewart, second last Saturday night in Bristol and Ward Burton also are threats. Burton won at Darlington accomodations in March. Ward, second to Jeff last year in the only 1-2 myrtle Southern 500 finish by brothers, Had beach those ambitions come to fruition, McClure accomodations and myrtle feels the state of his race team may be a bit different. "I may have had the problems, but I think I could have got things going in beach the right direction a lot quicker (with a second team) accomodations because with more testing and input from two different drivers myrtle and race teams, I think beach we could have accomodations got through this a lot quicker," McClure said. Hamilton currently ranks 30th myrtle in the beach and accomodations standings. myrtle He''s never finished worse that 23rd in any full season in his career. It''s time to turn things beach around, and the accomodations change is on, starting this weekend at Darlington Raceway, where Hamilton has three consecutive seventh-place finishes. "Everybody loves Darlington. I think it''s one of our favorite race tracks," McClure said. "We were myrtle lucky enough beach to win a race there with Sterling, I think back in ''95. We''re looking forward to it, and I think we''re going to be ready for it." Hamilton added, "Just staying off the fence (is the key to success at Darlington), and that''s hard to do there. Several accomodations guys have won that race and have had the recognized myrtle Darlington stripe. It depends on who hits it the lightest. "Every lap you go around there there''s one groove that works and then beach two laps later that groove doesn''t work any more. We''ve been pretty fortunate the last three accomodations or four races. We''ve been able to run there and not get in any crashes and not even get a stripe on the car. All that means is we''re way overdue for it." After the struggles they''ve faced the past few seasons, Hamilton and the Morgan-McClure contingent are well overdue.
