Some things to think about:
1) What’s up with Scott Speed? Man h releasing the Dinger is looking like it was a horrible move at this point in time for Red Bull.
2) Jimmie hit the wall ... Jimmie hit the wall ...
3) Earnhardt Jr stuggles during qualifying - a sign of things to come for this race?
4) Joey Logano can run well by himself during qualifying but can he run with 42 other cars on the track?
OK, I’m outta here. See you all later.
Green Flag drops at 19:45:30 hrs (ya I know, 30 secs - what’s up with that?)
