Will be a great effort if the 2 MWR Toyota's make the chase... Mark Martin is on the pole here too - Ambrose to start P7 aswell...

Wow, scary wreck for Mark Martin, spinning onto pit road and sliding sideways into a pitwall opening with the wall piercing into the #55 right behind the driver's seat.

Had the car hit that wall more squarely in the driver's side door... Let's just say Mark Martin dodged a bad one there.

Was very nasty that's for sure... Not a bad race today, always more interesting when #9 Stanley ford is up there
Terrible luck for the #48, impressed with the #2 & a good win for the #16

Just had the chance to see Mark's accident; another two or three feet forward, that would have been all she wrote for the old man. What a weird accident.

Crap luck for the Hendrick motored teams.

Congrats to the Bif. He is dreamy.
