Dale Jarrett overcame a bad break and won the Dura-Lube 500 in Phoenix, tightening up the Winston Cup championship race.

Jarrett leap-frogged past Mark Martin into second place in the standings, trailing Jeff Gordon by 77 points with only the season-finale on Nov. 16 remaining. Martin also gained ground on Gordon, finishing sixth and moving within 87 points.

Promising stock car racer Chris Trickle, nephew of NASCAR Winston Cup regular Dick Trickle, has emerged from a coma nearly nine months after being shot in the head by a gunman on a freeway overpass. He began to process thoughts and talk again Oct. 26 at a Los Angeles-area hospital.
