# Rookie of the Year Contender
a driver/car# in RED is a go-or-go-homer and had to qualify by speed to make the race
a driver/car# in BLUE is a go-or-go-homer and is a past series champion, eligible to use a past champ provisional
(A) = wrecked in practice and will fall to the rear of the field before the start of the race
PC = Past Champion Provisional used
DNQ = Did not qualify
SPD = made race by qualifying speed
Somebody please help me figure this out. Why did the 24th place finisher in Duel 1 (Gilliland) qualify, but the guy that finished *ahead* of him (McDowell) didn’t? Or Logano getting in finishing 23rd in Duel 2, but Derrike Cope finishes eight spots ahead in 15th and doesn’t make the field? Owner points from 2010?
