My dad is watching the qualifying races and I came down in time to see montoya get a flat right front. He bounced off the wall pretty good and took the hub assembly off in the process.
After listening to his interview it was a wheel bearing that let go.
wait, I thought the shootout races weren’t until tonight? He should still have a chance to make it, right?

The duels or whatever they are calling them are on tv now so I believe he is done. It’s a shame but thats racing.
oh crap, I’m missing it. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll see them tonight after midnight on the re-broadcast.

Only the top 2 spots of fence sitters in the dual races make into the 500.
So there are 4 spots for them.
Then the next 3 fence sitters that didn’t make it in go to fastest qualifying.
Then the last spot is the past Champion provisional.
35 top drivers from last year + 4 from the duals + 3 from the quals + Champ provisional = 43 car field.

Thats just what dw was yammering on about. I didn’t know that it was the top 35 cars instead of the top 35 drivers.
Its always the cars…the sponsors…the teams…the owners is based on the car.
