8 Toyota's in top 15. Did they use some left overs from Marion Jones?

Sorry - just seen the results. Hornish Jr and Allmendinger are out despite being in the top 15 on speed. |

Lest we forget, this is an impound race. Most of the Chase drivers are in race trim while the top qualifiers were in qualifying trim out of necessity.

There is something really wrong with all those Toyotas in the front.

It's funny those that bashed JV this week were out qualified by him (in 6th!) on debut for Cup! Go Sam!

Setup for qualifying though Luke, but I hear ya. I didn't see the Craftsman Truck race today but understand Jacques was out pretty early. And it's not gonna get any easier tomorrow. Looking forward to a NASCAR race...go figure.

Ah, what the heck, I'll post this. After all, it's not everyday you're trying to qualify for your debut Cup race on a Superspeedway, I don't think. The car looks great and a pretty good run.

Yeh, theres a reason it's all non-top 35 cars up front, qualifying setups, same way Boris Said got the Pole at Daytona last year, he missed it here though
How long has it been since Micheal Waltrip sat on the pole? |

Not until egg chasing finishes. I hate to miss Talladega.
I'll have to download TVU again, although my connection has been slow this weekend. |

It is driving me mad. I pay a lot of money each month to watch Nascar and all I get are recorded highlights of the rugby. Why should I carry on paying out next year? I might as well watch the highlights instead.

Well, next year there will be no such interruptions of course (provided they have the contract).
It is a pain in the arse though. |

But for the rest of us it's pre-game on TSN in 10 minutes, and ABC at noon, I think.

I do hope it is on TVU, I can't miss 'dega. If I can't see it, I'll have to watch last years!

If it was not an impound race all the top 11 qualifiers would be at the rear of the field. The driver probably in the most danger is Tony since he is closest to those up front that may cause an early wreck.
