I don't know about you but I'd be ticked if I was Greg Biffle and got sent home but Hideo Fukuyama (who the heck is he?) made the field!

The Provisionals are done by owner points and the #66 car had the higher owner points its the car that Todd Bodine drove the most part of last year and Fukuyama started two races in that car last year.

I can`t figure out how Sterlin`s car can qualify almost 3 full seconds behind his rookie teammate. Maybe the team just tried two different set ups to see which one workrd better.

Well, my man D J 88 finished 41st. after taking a couple

of bites out of the wall.

From hero last week to zero this week. That's racing!
