No Happy Hour and Practice write up this week because the times and speeds are irrelevant due to the nature of the draft and restrictor plates. Those who are good like the Busch Brothers, and recently the Roush stable, will be good Sunday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr should have his best chance at winning a race since he finished second at Talladega in the spring.
Qualifying was set by points on Saturday due to rain.
