FRIDAY AT KENTUCKY

SPEEDWAY

Well it's been an off and one day here at the track. It rained most of the morning leaving the only sound being heard of the blow driers out on the track. The rain let up this afternoon but a passing thundershower off to the west has made people wonder if the Nationwide and Sprint Cup series will get their qualifying in today. It looks, however, like it will happen as the shower has dropped to the southwest leaving things in good shape here.

It's been a busy afternoon with the Sprint Cup cars getting their final practice in and Kyle Busch is still looking good with a fast speed of 182.803 mph. Juan Pablo Montoya is second at 182.500 and Kurt Busch is third at 182.346. Kasey Kahne (182.291) and Jimmie Johnson (182.285) round out the top five. Twenty-eight drivers are over 180 mph and just one simple mistake can be the difference in who gets the pole. The Nationwide drivers soon begin their qualifying and then the Sprint Cub cars again take the track to qualify. And then after that the Nationwide cars take to the track for the Feed the Children 300.....200 laps on the 1 1/2 mile track. So there's still A LOT left to do today and tonight. I haven't decided where I'm going to be tonight. A lot happened last night in turn four so I'm thinking possibly there again. I'll just have to wait and see. Forty-three cars is a lot different than the 36 trucks last night. I think it will be an interesting night.....Oh....and don't expect me to make any predictions. I don't do that anymore. I've seen too many crazy things happen.
