NASCAR uses a unique qualifying setup for the Daytona 500. Today's qualifying run sets the front row for the Daytona 500, the field for the Gatorade Twin 125s on Thursday (used to set positions 4-30 in the 500), and establishes the times used for positions 31-38. The drivers who qualify "odd" (1, 3, 5, etc.) will run in the first Twin 125 for the inside row, while those who qualify "even" (2, 4, 6, etc.) will run in the second Twin 125.

Just had another near miss here in Eureka. Local NBC had some sports show on then they switched to Nascar. Did you get a complete ping list?

Late partial ping (didn't get Norm's list because he's doing "quality time"; thanks Pete-R-Bilt)
At the moment, it's an all-Yates front row, as Dale Jarrett, the Shootout winner, turns in a 47.902/187.884 lap.
