Well, last night was the Shoot Out with Tony Stewart taking home the jacket and bragging rights for the next year, and now today, you have a rookie taking the pole! I'm personally happy to see that there will be an all Yates front row next Sunday. Gilliland and Rudd could be what turns that entire organization around. The Toyota's were a surprise, at least to me anyway. DEI...well, seems they may be falling apart at the seams. Next, Jr. will want 51% of Budweiser too.
Seriously, after last night's race and today's qualifying, what do you all think?

well if Bud wants to keep the cashcar market, they would be smart to consider it LOL. DEI is done, tearsa is not gonna give him what he and his family are entilited to. So he will leave and once he does it will just be a matter of how much money she wants to throw away untill she shuts the doors. I dont even have one but man I dont like stepparnets. LOL

I think theres one thing here that everybody seems to forget. Don't forget and I repeat myself don't forget about a step sister and daughter by the name of TAYLOR that Tersa and Dale sr. have. Now it don't take a rocket scientist to figure blood is thicker then water. It would not surprize me at all if Tersa takes care of Taylor before Junior.

I'm sure of that. But, Jr is his namesake, so...who knows. I'm not a Jr fan so I really don't care lol.

Very good point. But as long as jr is there and happy then there would be enough money at 49% to keep the others well off and happy. If jr leaves and tersa is stuborn and tries to run DEI, then her and taylor will both be broke. Either way jr and kelly will be set for life.

Well, penalties were distributed yesterday. You've got 4 crew chiefs going home and $150k worth of fines. I heard a rumour that the 55 of Michael Waltrip could be looking at a 6 figure fine out of his deal, along with possible suspensions and not being able to race in the 500 Sunday. This is not confirmed, just a rumour from an inside source.

Man o Man, Micky has really messed up this time accord to what I read on Jayski.

#55 manifold confiscated; car impounded:
#00 reskin? have to use #32?: during pre-qualifying inspection, the intake manifold of the #55 NAPA Toyota of Michael Waltrip was confiscated by NASCAR, it didn't meet specifications and the team had to install another one.(SPEED's NASCAR Live), been told there was a substance on the inside of the manifold and it was taken away in a black bag, will be taken to NASCAR R&D center in Concord, NC to be examined, Waltrip's team was allowed to change engines, go thru tech inspection and make a qualifying attempt, Waltrip qualified 25th.the #55 Toyota was impounded by NASCAR and Hunter said the car would be inspected 'with a fine tooth comb'. Waltrip's Toyota was impounded, with Hunter raising the possibility Waltrip will not be allowed to run that particular car in the 150s or the 500. "We'll go over that car with a fine-tooth comb ... and I don't know how long we'll keep it," Hunter said. Sterno? That's the horsepower trick that rivals suspect tripped up Waltrip when he was busted by NASCAR in the pre-qualifying inspection line for having some unknown "substance" in his intake manifold. Marty Snider reported that NASCAR has not given the primary car back, has given no indication if the team will get the car back or any penalties, the #55 team is preparing the backup car from #00-Reutimann's team to practice today, which is scheduled to start at 12:00noon/et.PRN's Mark Garrow on the Driver's Seat show this morning and reported that the team had taken a #44 Toyota is reskinning the car and putting the #32 on the car, soucres say the #55 team and Waltrip may be ejected. Waltrip bought the #32 owners points [going with the #00 team] and Cal Wells is listed as the #00 owner. AND MORE: Garrow is reporting that crew chief David Hyder is not at the track and SPEED's NASCAR Live reported that NASCAR fired up the engine and the substance reappeared, now NASCAR has put up a 50-foot perimeter to keep anyone out of the area and has pulled the engine out of the car.
The car will not be #32, but is #55 and it is a Reutimann backup. Waltrip has declined interviews, probably will not be allowed to practice in the first practice. The team is still preparing the car. Also word around the garage is Waltrip could be suspended a few races and crew chief Hyder suspended as long as the full season.
