I'm sure you're right. He's gonna come back from the 52nd position to first place in 10 laps, then lead the rest of the race.

Why, most other series, F-1, IRL, and Sportcars do it on Saturday?

Mainly because I dont like to make my fantasy picks until after qualifying, so that doesn't leave me much time. Lol

brake failure on the 1st practice lap for Bayne, time for a back up car.

Cup drivers playing games in 2nd practice, manipulating qualifying order position.

Truck race getting ready to go.

Kyle Busch, my son's favorite driver, holds off Clint Bowyer, my wife's favorite driver, lol, by .291 seconds to win the Truck race tonight. It's Kyle's 25th win in the Truck series, making him the youngest drive to win 25 races in a single series.

You have a son? Old enough to have a favorite driver?

He's 9, so yes. I started watching racing when I was 8, about the same age he started getting into it.

How? Sandbagging, they qualify in order of practice speed now. There was lots of tv talk about guys playing games in practice this afternoon. DW said the qualifying time of day should scratch any predictions of conditions changing much. Somewhere it will be a factor.

Bayne said Tebow called him this week. Said he was really nice, down to earth, easy to talk to like they had been best friends for years.
Trevor said on a plane this week his laptop crashed. He finally had an answer for people asking what he will buy with the 500 prize money. Then he was on the George Lopez show telling that story, and Lopez said "I'll buy you a computer." It was in appreciation for missionary work Bayne has done/ is doing in Mexico.

Yeah, I knew that's how qualifying orders were set now. I just didn't watch any of the practice today, so didn't know if there was any of that going on or not.
