It would be interesting to see if Johnny Sauter could have qualified better? He did win the pole for last nights truck race! Just looking at past history Johnny is a better qualifier vs. RG and I think Johnny might have found that extra speed in the car to make the show. But we will ever know. I guess this proves that even if RGM puts a full blown qualifying effort in car that it is still iffy at best if they make the show. I guess one S&P car is better then no S&P cars!

Not sure, Wimmer.

The 7 is a full race with Scott Wimmer driving. Robby is doing the Bullrun.

quals rained out POS goes home unless he buys a ride from someone like Nemecheck

If qualifying is rained out, the order of the starting lineup would be determined by first practice speed.
Who actually gets in the field is based primarily on owners points and other criteria in the rule book.
The top 35 are set, then the non top 35 drivers with most attempts, etc
ties broken by owners points position, then the whole field is set by 1st practice speeds.

I guess the #77 should have taken more practice laps and tried to better their time.

Wouldn't have mattered.

Not sure what would have been worse. Making the show, then raining, then not making the show or not being fast enough to make the show, then rain and still not making the show.
As Robby has said money = speed. I hope getting Parrot is a sign the RGM is getting more money.

Now on NASCAR.com they are saying the field will be set by final practice speeds. I think that is wrong? Either way the #77 was slow in both practices and would still not make the race. Should have ran more laps to get better!
