Here is something interesting. Vickers is the slowest of the non-35. The track is only going to get faster. His only real chance of securing a spot is if qualifying rains out, because he won a race last year and that would put him in the field.
According to Jayski —
In the event that qualifying is cancelled:
the eight who would make it [8]: #’s 83, 44, 21, 10, 22, 15, 00, 78
missing the race would be [10]: #’s 36, 84, 55, 49, 37, 4, 60, 09, 04, 27
Yeah I think he’s out of luck, track almost dry. Boris ready to go out shortly. Rain has moved out.
