7. Martin
9. Kurt
12. David
16. Casey
18. Dale Jr.
19. Brian
30. Michael
I guess it's a good Friday when six out of your seven drivers qualifies in the top-20! I was especially impressed with how David and Brian's laps held up because they went out early - especially Brian's because he went halfway up the track getting into one of the turns!
However, Michael's lap was somewhat disappointing. He went out late so I was hoping for a little bit more considering it's one of the third generation cars MWR has been building. But Michael has never been the best qualifier - maybe it's better in race runs.
On a side note, the "pre-qualifying ceremonies" were painful at best. What is California doing? Trying to attract more people with another flyover? They brag about being so close to Hollywood, but I've heard ten-year-olds sing better than that woman who butchered the anthem. Just another reason why California Speedway is a joke of a facility.
NNS RESULTS
1. Kyle Busch
11. Brian
13. David
23. Brandon
Since the drivers have to qualify in the heat of the day but will race at night, it's hard to say who will come forward or drop back tonight. Regardless, Brandon's lap was a pleasant surprise and even more so considering he went out quite early. It will be a challenge for the rest of the field to catch Kyle Busch - he was over .400 seconds ahead of second place Jeff Burton!
