| They're hauling the mail at Bristol |
It was Busch’s 11th
career pole in his 297th Sprint Cup start, and his first at Bristol
in his 17th start there. His best previous start was ninth in August
of 2008. The top three cars all broke old track record, and the top 31 drivers were
separated by just .3 seconds.
Brian Vickers’ fourth–place
qualifying effort continued a string of solid Bristol performances for the
Aaron’s Drean Machine Toyota driver. A year ago, he was the only driver to
finish in the Top-5 in both races at BMS and he accumulated more points in those
races than any other driver.
A total of 44 cars
attempted to qualify this afternoon, Scott Riggs was the loe driver to miss the
cut in the No. 44 Xxxtreme Motorsports Ford.

It's a good thing for Danica that ever since GoDaddy she hasn't been held accountable. Rookie of the year? Maybe next year or the year after that.
