Join us this weekend at tracks in the heartland of America.

God bless our troops and families and nation.

Keep your spirit up, young warriors, and Godspeed.

[steveegg]

BTW, that Vickers time is the 2nd to bust the old track record. Bifflage is up.

[steveegg]

McVickers faster on his second lap. 187.327 diesn't knock off Newman though.

Pole is NOT Biffled - 187.065 is 3rd of 13.

[WestCoastGal]

I have:

12-20

99-88-15-2

01-5

[steveegg]

Bobby Labonte (not driving the Green Machine this week) with a 184.647 (picked it up on lap 2 some, but not enough to improve on 7th of 14).

[WestCoastGal]

Oh no not water skiing again!! :(

[steveegg]

Ouch on taking Smoke. He'll likely be starting 42nd regardless of whether he qualifies or not.

Shrub continues the 2nd-lap improvement trend; 185.242 is good for 6th of 15 (and it actually improves his position from 8th after the first lap).

Bubba Q:

20-24
15-19-29-88
01-25

[steveegg]

Methinks Kenny Wallace should've stuck with the Waltrip Racing ride and not skipped brother Mike; 181.800 is good for 15th of 16 and 4th of 5 field-fillers (puts Hamilton into the show).

Backflipper with a 185.471 (6th of 17).

[WestCoastGal]

Big wiggle for the flipper. He didn't want to go around again and takes a hard left down pit road!!

[WestCoastGal]

We'll find out here in a minute how good Jeff is this weekend.

Mayfield crashed in Busch practice today, more tar problems.

[steveegg]

Carl Long puts down a 183.175 (15th of 18, 4th of 6 field-fillers, which NOW puts Hamilton into the show).

Flash with a good lap - 186.156 puts him 4th of 19.

[steveegg]

Mayfield crashed in Busch practice today, more tar problems.

BRING BACK HOOSIER!!!

Northurn Burton with a 183.536 (16th of 20) - they can't get that new engine guy working fast enough.

[steveegg]

Why didn't I take the Robot this weekend? The USG Sheetrock Taurus flies to the tune of 187.398 (2nd of 21 - we now have 4 cars that broke the old track record)

[WestCoastGal]

Matt second!!

[steveegg]

Jeff Green must be running the old Ege engines - 182.648 is good for 19th of 22.

Mark Martin gets around 8th of 23 with a 185.554.

[steveegg]

FastKasey 8th of 25 with a 185.765.

Mike Bliss gets that NetZero Chevy moving with 186.194 (5th of 26)

[WestCoastGal]

Bliss has been running really well lately.

I see the vacuum is in the show. :~)

[WestCoastGal]

Wow Candyman in an orange car this weekend. Combos

He was pretty good in practice.

[steveegg]

The New Silver Bullet (Stremme) continues the disappointing Ganassi qualifying efforts with a 193.717 (20th of 27, 4th of 9 field-fillers), but puts both himself and Terry Labonte in the show on time.

Kevin Lepage's 182.766 is good for 23rd of 28, 6th of 9 field-fillers, and puts Carl Long into the show.

Jason Leffler puts down a 181.818 (26th of 29, 7th of 10 field-fillers). That puts Lepage into the show and sends Anderson home early. On the bubble is Garvey.
