It felt too good. This morning, we've made a lot of changes on the car and we haven't made any headway. We're basically where we were yesterday. Twenty-five cars are locked into their starting positions on Friday. In Saturday morning's second round, positions 26-36 will be filled.
Drivers have the option of standing on their first-round times or trying to improve their positions.
Every driver from 26-36 on the speed chart stands on his time, leaving 11 cars trying to crack their way in somehow. Only one driver outside the top 36, Bill Elliott, stands on his time because he's eligible for, if nothing else, a past champion's provisional. The other four who try don't make it. Rookies Scott Pruett and Ed Berrier, Ricky Craven and Marcis load up and go home. And Wally Dallenbach, who had a problem on Friday and is the absolute slowest car in the field, gets in on a provisional.
