* It remains unclear whether Kevin Harvick Inc. swapped the #33 owners' points to the #77. Reports from earlier this season say they did, but the current entry list at BGNRacing.com indicates they did not. If they did, Tony Stewart and the #33 will be forced to qualify on time; if they did not, Burney Lamar and the #77 will be forced to qualify on time.
** Indicates driver/team I know was not in the top 30 among full-time teams in the final 2005 owners' points (or a team that bought the points of a full-time top-30 team from last year); they and the KHI team not guaranteed must qualify on time (fastest 12 of 19 plus either Brian Vickers-2003 Busch champ, Greg Biffle-2002 Busch champ, Kevin Harvick-2001 Busch champ, Steve Grissom-1993 Busch champ, Joe Nemechek-1992 Busch champ, or the 13th-fastest of 19). If a past champ uses the past champ's provisional, he will not be eligible for it in the next 7 races (it's unclear whether that's races in the schedule or races he enters).

[fideist]

We still need a nickname for Truex, Jr.

[steveegg]

Easy; The Other Jr (just like The Other Sadler and The Other Kyle) :-)

Some quick notes from Jayski:

• It came out during the Dodge v BDR trial that Dodge fined The Other Kyle (Petty) $45,000 for relieving Kevin Harvick in the 2004 Sharpe 500 without permission from Dodge. I'll bet that Jamie McMurray and his future father-in-law (Rusty Wallace) are glad that Ford isn't quite as jealous because MacMurray does have permission from Ford to drive the RWI #64 Dodge in the Busch Series.
• NASCAR will likely use an outside vendor, Swiss watchmaker Tissot (the "Official timekeeper of NA$¢AR") to handle scoring in 2007, replacing their in-house Dutch-built system.
• JJ expects his crew chief, Chad Knaus, to be gone for the next few races as a result of Knaus's ingenius use of a jack bolt to raise the rear glass.
• A pair of quick Busch competition notes from the Busch side of Jayski:
  • 25 pounds of weight are being moved to the right side of the car (the cars will still weigh 3400 pounds, the weight they went up to last year)
  • The 5 official tests for the Busch Series are Daytona (already happened), Las Vegas (already happened), Lowe's, Richmond and Martinsville (during the race weekend). Also, rookies will get an additional 30-minute "rookies only" practice session the first time the series visits a track.

[steveegg]

Speaking of nicknames, we need some for the other rookies (Bowyer, Hamlin, Yeley, Sorenson, Stremme, Sherman and Chaffin).

[tubebender]

Off the tip of my tongue...Bowyer = BowBow (arf), Hamlin = Ham, Yeley = Yell, Sorenson = Sore, Stremme = Crash Man, Sherman = General, Chaffin = Coffin...

OK...I've only had two bloody Marys

[WestCoastGal]

[Toby06]

hamlin = hambone,

[tubebender]

Sounds good to me but now we need to appoint a committee to study it...

[tubebender]

The first order of business for the committee will be to appoint a sub-committee to study the ramifications of using Hambone and the effects on various breeds of canines.

I suspect we will get angry protest from Jack and Beau but I can report Dolly gives it her tentative OK...

[Toby06]

I'll just sit in the back row with my 12 pack (want one?) while y'all hash it out.

[tubebender]

Did you see the Murder Cycle Speed TV just awarded to Tony Stewart for their Speed Driver of the Year???

[Toby06]

I don't currently get speed. :(

[tubebender]

I'll just sit in the back row with my 12 pack (want one?) while y'all hash it out.?

You're just another NIMBY. Not In My Bone Yard?

[Toby06]

I'm a race fan, not a scrapper!

[tubebender]

I'm a race fan, not a scrapper!

I still have enemys from my racin in 1964/72 at Redwood Acres...

[WestCoastGal]

Did you do your homework today and watch practice?

If not, it's on now. :)

Sorry Toby06 it's on Speed.

[Toby06]

I wasn't alive for part of that time period! LOL! It weren't me!

[tubebender]

Oh my...I have younguns older than you...
