jeff_gluck Red Bull worked out a deal for Joe Nemechek’s ride. So Scott Speed will race after all. #NASCAR
Thanks for the links!
Carl Edwards 34th
Earnhardt 35th
jeeesh...
ambrosia blow’d up his 3rd place qualified car in practice, starts at the back of the pack in a spare.
Ambrose, Gilliland, Andretti have rough practice

Go Boris!
This year has been very streaky, and although Busch is tied with Mark Martin for a series-high three wins, his success seems to come in bunches. He hasn’t won since May at Richmond, and he’s had just one top-10 finish in the five races since.
Real bummer for Ambrose, he was running fastest lap times in practice too.
I thought this was going to be his week; its gonna be tough doing it from the back.
On the bright side, I guess better that it blow up today than on Sunday.
I am leaning toward Flash . watch martin win again. :-}
shrub won last year so this is right up his alley..
Go Boris!
What the car lacks in prep, he’ll make up for driving the ehck out of it and then hoping they get lucky.. lots can happen .,, even on road course.. I look forward to the newest crop of gravel pit venturers...
I hope your right, I’ve really grown to like and respect Ambrose.
Nonetheless. I think I’m gonna bench him in favor of Robby Gordon.
Could be a move I regret-—I hope... Go 47!
The Bush League qualifying from the old Milwaukee Brewery is on Speed
Flipper from the back to 10th in 40 laps...
I’m here!!
Flipper flying through the field, up to 9th!!!
I’ve got a great idea. Let’s all root for Boris tomorrow........
