I think a go-or-go-home guy that qualifies 27th goes home. IMO

This is quite a trip for teams not to show up prepared. Its really gonna come down to driver errors and who knows the track better.You could have one of the best cars in the field, but you only get one Q lap, you screw it up you go home. I suppose Larry Mac would tell us you have to be "Conservatively aggressive". I have a feeling that something breaking in practice spells trouble for somebody here. Another thing to watch is what happens if Speed doesnt make it. Could it spark another Red Bull buyout?

Should Be In.- Ran too good and made it too much to go home.

Said - Fully prepped Roush Ford. Fresh from the RCM disaster I bet Boris has something to prove.
Fellows - Never spectacular, always flawless.
Gilliland - Ran 2nd here before, been qual'ing in on time all year he knows the routine.
Blaney - Another go or go home vet, no excuses for mistakes pressure could cause.
Jones - Besides Said, best quality go or go home car around.

On the Fence
Papis - Yet to be seen if the open wheel guys can translate all the RC skill in the heavy car with hard brakes.
Speed - Missed races before, he seems to make mistakes going to hard. One shot and alot of turns to mess it up.
Hubert - Solid driver, good group of guys and what was a decent car, but is it still decent enough to beat 4 cars?
Nemechek - Past performance on RC's has been very questionable.

Should Be Out - Blame the cars more than the driver.
Ash - Wondering if this is the same car that was so bad last year.
Simo - Can make the race, but the 36 car has been hit or miss. Of this group, he has the best shot.
Cook - Another "Feel Good" story, but the driver cant make up for what the 37 has always lacked.
