Trackpass practice (weather permitting) will be on today at 1:20pm ET and final practice at 4pm ET with a tape delay at 8pm ET on Speed.

Tomorrow's Cup qualifying is scheduled at 9am ET on TP and on Speed at 11am ET. For some reason TV schedule has the Busch qualifying at 9am and Cup at 11. Will have to check that later. The Busch race is scheduled at 2:10pm ET on NBC. The truck race is at 5pm ET on Speed.

The important things are that both series will be qualifying tomorrow morning and that Speed will cover both sets of qualifying live. My guess is NASCAR didn't originally think there would be 54 Busch teams and only 48 Cup teams.

Make that 47 Cup teams; the #152 that was to be driven by Jose Luis Ramirez has withdrawn according to NASCAR.com (they still list Captain Kirk in the #27 though; everybody else got the memo that it's Tom Hubert)

In other news, the Home Depot is celebrating Smoke's Indy win with a 10% sale on bricks, wall blocks and pavers (get your coupons in USA Today). Jayski quotes Tony as saying "First it was ladders and fences, and now it's bricks and pavers. plan to keep winning races and helping to drive down the cost of home improvement for The Home Depot customers." Also relating to Smoke and his win last week, NBC will finally carry the entire celebration during pre-race on Sunday.
