2010 Oil Slick 200

No Rain! Qualifying held no real surprises. Let's take a look.

Dakoda Armstrong

4th place. 2/10ths of a second off pole. If his skill in traffic translates from midgets to stock cars he's a real threat to win the race tomorrow.

Nelson Piquet Jr.

7th Place. He continues to improve. We'll see if his speed can be maintained in traffic. They don't have that in F1 ya know.

Danica Patrick

12th place. Actually she tied for 11th place, but lost the tie on points. I don't think she'll have any trouble with the traffic but this is a short race and Dancia usually saves her surge for the end. Timing and strategy will be the key.

Ricky Carmichael

14th place. Solid effort.

Alli Owens

19th place. Slower than expected.

Steve Blackburn

22nd place. Also slower than hoped, but still solidly in the field.

Leilani Munter

25th place. A big jump to safely make the race.

Milka Duno

41st place.(provisional) Lucky to be in.

Jenny Jo Cobb

42nd place.(provisional) Also lucky to be in.

Jerick Johnson

DNQ. What will the Legionaires say?

Schedule

The race is tomorrow, Feb 6, 1:30PM PST

Update: The final practice session was cancelled due to rain. That means some of the drivers in the race have NEVER driven in the draft. Boom-boom crash-crash.
