[steveegg]

Jimmie Johnson 16th of 21 with a 172.723 lap (puts him behind Stewart).

[steveegg]

Make that through 20 drivers when I posted the first set of qualifiers.

Derrike Cope 21st of 22 and 2nd of 3 field-fillers that took the green with a 170.735-mph lap.

[steveegg]

The pole has been Flipped - Carl Edwards to the top of the speed charts with a 176.051

[Jackknife]

Qualifying ping!

[Jackknife]

I wonder how differently the Charger will perform compared to the Intrepid......

[steveegg]

They're not going to give Grampa Shepherd another shot. Meanwhile, McMary posts the 6th-fastest lap of 24 with a 174.967 and Mike Garvey is 22nd of 25 and 2nd of 5 field-fillers with a 170.875.

[steveegg]

The fastest 2 Dodges are Intrepids (Rocket and FastKasey).

Continuing qualifying...
Flash 8th of 27 with a 174.554
SWimmer 16th of 28 with a 173.260
Chad Chaffin 24th of 29 and 2nd of 6 field-fillers with a 171.233. That puts Mr. Excitement in the show.
The Tide Slide slides into the show with a 172.068 (24th of 30 and 2nd of 7 field-fillers)

[steveegg]

Mikey smacks the wall; guess he didn't want to leave DEI unused equipment :-)

[Jackknife]

Garvey is a fellow Georgia boy. He's been on the Late Model circuit for a while.

[Jackknife]

Mikey smacks the wall; guess he didn't want to leave DEI unused equipment :-)

LMAO!!!!

[fideist]

Mikey smacks the wall; guess he didn't want to leave DEI unused equipment :-)

And Truex hit the wall in Busch qualifying. And Junior is starting at the back of the pack.

What's up with DEI at Homestead?!

(Going to go see how Menard did.)

[steveegg]

Quick Jayski update -

• Paul Menard will be qualifying the #7 while Robby Gordon goes dirt racing in Baja.
• Badyear/NA$CAR's Tire Lease Program will use RFID tags embedded in the tires.
• Dave Blaney is likely headed to the #22.
• Sterling Marlin will pick up Waste Management for a third of the season, and will not be in the Busch Series next year.
• Robbie Reiser's dad passed away.

Continuing qualifying...
Candyman 19th of 32 with a 172.911 lap.
Reed Sorenson puts himself into the show with a 174.430 lap (fastest of 8 field-fillers)
Mark Martin 5th of 34 with a 175.273
Gray Bug-eyed Bullet 18th of 35 with a 173.282
David Stremme in the show and Morgan Shepherd out with a 173.673 (2nd-fastest of 9 field-fillers)

[steveegg]

They think it's still a flat track :-)

Mike Skinner puts himself in and Carl Long out (also ensures that he'll finish in the top 50 in drivers' points and be eligible for the 2006 Nextel Open) with a 172.068 (30th of 37, 5th of 10 field-fillers).
GI Joe tentatively in the 4th row with a 174.605 (8th of 38).
McVickers 16th of 39 with a 174.126.
