Join us this weekend for some racing on hallowed ground.

God bless our troops, families and nation.

Thank you for your service.

Knaus talking about the unique pit road here, being very narrow and sneaks up on the driver.

The last box here is the worst. They usually pick that one at other tracks but when they picked that last year they had trouble. People run into each other there. Hummmmm if JJ is last maybe he will get that one anyway.

Boris Said with a 180.148 (24th of 38, 4th of 13 field-fillers). That puts Hamilton Jr into the show and knocks Mike Garvey out. Garvey joins Mike Wallace, Morgan Shepherd, Kenny Wallace and Jimmy Spencer in the rush to the exits. Terry Labonte will take the champ's provisional, which puts Kevin Lepage on the bubble.

[steveegg]

The pit road was really made for only 33 cars.

TNT now on with tape-delayed coverage.

Stuart Kirby joining the go-home crowd with a 177.774. That puts Boris Said into the show.

[WestCoastGal]

Just to complicate things, Busch qualifying is up. Riggs is up in the 10 for Rallys.

[WestCoastGal]

I guess this is taped too since Rusty is in the booth and he's scheduled for Cup qualifying still.

Riggs had a little bobble.

[steveegg]

Managed to get both up, even though I'm now out of room on my single monitor.

GI Joe 13th of 40 with a 181.466.

[tubebender]

Why is Booty in a wheelchair?

[WestCoastGal]

OK never mind, my TV tuned in Cup qualifying automatically and I didn't notice. Ha ha

Now as for Busch racing.........the 52 is on track and does a spin without hitting anything

[steveegg]

Cup qualifying is taped, Busch will be live.

Cup - FastKasey 3rd of 41 witha 182.838.

Busch - DJ Hoelzle first out with a 105.792 (he must make the race on time).

[steveegg]

Cup - Flash 6th of 42 with a 182.467. He may have brushed the wall on the cooldown lap like Boris Said did.

Busch - Jason Keller 1st of 2 with a 110.078 and Backflipper 2nd of 3 witha 108.230.

[WestCoastGal]

We're over here!!

PING

[WestCoastGal]

I have zero for qualifying so far. I think I only have Rusty left.

[steveegg]

Cup - points broke the tie between Flash and Marlin. Dave Blane 26th of 43 with a 180.466

Busch - Joel Kauffman 2nd of 4 with a 108.712, and Ashton Lewis 2nd of 5 with a 109.221

[WestCoastGal]

I don't know.

I tried to find something on line but nothing about what happened to put him there.

[don-o]

Thanks Gal and Glock

[steveegg]

Ditto for me with only Happy left.

Cup - PJ Jones fails with a 175.929, which puts Bill Elliot in the show.

Busch - Brent Sherman 5th of 6 (and 1st of 2 field-fillers) with a 108.046. Brad Teague 7th of 7 (and 3rd of 3 field-fillers) with a 104.982

[fideist]

Flash is seventh according to PitCommand, sixth according to MRN radio.

[fideist]

Rubberhead thirty-fourth.

[WestCoastGal]

That's a big improvement from practice. I'm sure he's happy.

Wow, Smoke has James Dean on the 33 Busch car. It's gray and should be awesome under the lights.

[fideist]

Jeff Green takes the Petty-mobile to thirteenth.
