Kelly Bires could have been just as good or better than Almirola if they would have given him some time.

DJ Kennington will drive the #13 for Jennifer Jo Cobb. TJ Bell got some speed out of it last week, so I think Kennington will get it in the field.

Brian Simo will be in the #50...which still doesn't explain why they aren't using the #03.

Whitney's #81 has turned into Gunselmans #37, which used to be Front Row Motorsports #37.
 

I'm guessing the 50 and the 97 will possibly also withdraw.

Any guesses on who DNQ's? I've never heard of Dan Brode or Dan Clarke.

The reason there is no #81 entered is because Whitney is basically using the #37 as their 2nd car now. I thought Brian Simo had an agreement to drive the #81 again, but I guess they would rather park Scott Speed. Tony Ave probably would have been in the 38 but Front Row really needs to make the race.

So we are looking at possibly a chase with David Ragan and Paul Menard?  I hope Paul Menard wins the championship, just because it would cause yet another change in the system.

Hamlin isn't currently in the top 10 unfortunately, but if he gets passed by both of them or knocks Junior out of the chase for himself.

I don't mind fuel strategy or tire strategy as long as it helps mix it up at the front.
Nice to see Menard finally get a win.
A great season of first time winners.
I'm calling Ambrose next at either Pocono, The Glen, or Bristol.
Allmendinger at Michigan, Atlanta, or Texas.
Perhaps Cassill at Talladega.
Perhaps Gilliland at The Glen or Talladega.

At least 1 more 1st time winner this season.

Looks liek Jennifer Jo Cobb will be parking.
She wrecked her Dodge and had to borrow  the #71 that Ware withdrew.

#99 has withdrawn so down to 42 cars

Jason White to practice #70 in first practice

Jason White in a good Nationwide car for practice. Sweet!!!

And he ran faster than Stremme did. If only he could get to race...sigh.

How funny, I was just about to ask how he managed to be 25th fastest in final practice, in a Turner truck. Of those slower than him, only Shane Sieg and Jennifer Jo Cobb will likely finish the race.

In Kahne's post race interview he said he watched Steven Wallace run through people and then said something about the 44 (Cope).  Anyone know what he said about her, I didn't catch it?

Angela actually asked what he said on her twitter. I believe it w as something about her swerving down the straights or something similar.

Angela Cope did a okay job. Not very fast, but she stayed out of the way and kept the car in one piece.
If Derrike can keep finding the twins these sponsors we'll be seeing more of them.

Mike Garvey withdrew. They can't even get enough S&P's to fill the field, lol!
Although I really don't understand any reason why the #38 would withdraw unless they didn't get a truck ready in time.

SUPER TEAM Norm Benning Racing has entered a second truck for this race.

This may go down as the greatest day in NASCAR history.

For an even better joke look at the motorsports legend ol Norm has given the privilege of driving his pristine race machine.

Holy crap, 20 starts and 20 DNQ's in ARCA. How do you manage that? Lol.
