Third row pole second heat Didn’t qualify for the feature But most of these boys I should beat Croce wasn’t thinking about me When he wrote Rapid Roy But I give all I got on this  Track in Belleville Illinois I‘ve never yet won The feature race But I always run hard I set the pace In the turns is where Most races are won With cars scraping bars It’s part of the fun I could use more horsepower But the chassis makes do If a whole opens up I’m going through The whole point of racing Is to beat all the rest I’m fighting hard To improve on my best Did I charge hard enough Into that last turn? If I charge too hard Will I roll, crash and burn? I’ve been racing stock cars For an awful long time But I don’t just want To make it to the finish line When the flagman jumps Waving the checkered flag Whether first or last I’ll be driving like mad.
