NASCAR - NEXTEL CUP - Gatorade Dual 150s in progress -Budweiser Shootout Results

The fog has rolled back in here. A Coast guard Chopper went down yesterday rescuing some fools from the Pacific surf here. http://www.eurekareporter.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?ArticleID=8417

I was just a half mile from this at the time and because of the fog I wasn't aware..

The pole has been Burtoned - 159.151 knocks JJ off the pole and into the 2nd Duel (for the moment) and Bobby Labonte off the front row. If someone knocks off the Northurn Burton, he'll head into the 2nd Duel.

Last year's Daytona darling, Kevin Lepage, 20th of 35 and 4th of 14 field-fillers with a 186.097. That puts Mike Skinner in the "race well or go home Thursday" crowd.

Brent Sherman 29th of 36 with a 182.142. He'll start in the 1st Duel.

I think Hamlin's one to watch this year...

He's definitely a dark horse.

Texas Terry 18th of 37 and 4th of 15 field-fillers with a 186.382. He is first in line for the champ's provisional.

Hamlin 8th of 38 with a 187.488. He'll start in the 1st Duel.

Hamlin is one of my picks He's cheap and undervalued. Even if he doesn't do well here due to drafting, he's certainly going places.

The Other Kyle doesn't back up his practice speed thanks to the wind - 184.794 puts him 27th of 39. He'll start in the 2nd Duel.

371 posted on 02/12/2006 11:28:13 AM PST by steveegg (Take two - throw those long knives at the DemonRATs and lieberals - and include the RINOs)

Stanton "Stuntman" Barrett 25th of 40 and 8th of 16 field-fillers with a 185.322. He'll need to finish as one of the top 2 field-fillers in his Duel or go home after Thursday.
