40. Kurt

Yikes Kurt! They're saying during this off-weekend that Kurt's days will mostly be taken up by testing. Thank goodness!

Michael had a good lap despite scraping the wall in practice - it was relieving that he didn't wreck the car in practice and that it wasn't horrid during qualifying. He even used the word "smile" in his qualifying quotes on Race2Win...I hope he smiles a lot more this weekend, too.

The lil' UPS Camry looked rather evil but David jumped on the wheel and pushed her to a respectable position - he did have me nervous for a moment because most of the star cars were all over the place on the track. DW was remarking that Carl Edwards can manhandle this new car like nobody else but in my opinion David could give Edwards a run for his money once he gets some luck and momentum. There's that adaptability thing again...

NATIONWIDE RESULTS
1. Kyle Busch
12. David

A nice lap for a good starting spot in that pretty Best Western Camry. Time to make a big cup of coffee for all the east coast race fans!!
