Guess the "old man" Mark Martin (to quote some on here) must have some steam left - he's on the outside front row for tonight. He even out-qualified the all-mighty Jr and Kyle Busch!
Should be interesting to see him run a full season again - he almost made the chase while running a partial season!

There are 2 DEI cars on the front row for some strange reason. Paul Menard???? And Truex is starting 35th????

DEI lost the primary #1 car to NASCAR's confiscation with a roof profile problem. Truex didn't get a lap of practice in the back-up.

There is no getting around the fact that Mark Martin has always been a good qualifier...
If tonight's race goes two laps, like qualifying, he has a great chance of a top finish. If it goes the distance, my bet is that the "all-mighty" Jr., and Kyle Busch will both finish in front of him...

That's a lot different than "almost made the chase while running a partial season!"

I think the odds of KyBu finishing ahead of MM is inversely dependent on how many laps KyBu spends near JPM.

I wasn't the one drawing some sort of comparison between running 1 good lap, and somehow being able to get the job done....
