It’s interesting how they are paired up. I see Dale Jr and Kyle Busch will be starting side by side. There were a lot more of interesting pairs.

Denny Hamlin & Tony Stewart being old team mates.

Paul Menard and Elliot Sadler side by side

Heck … If you look down the list it’s almost like they tried to pair some people up. The only thing is that line-up will last about 2 laps and they will be swapping leads in the next 5 laps.

I’m not too sure of the format for the race itself, I sure don’t agree with the new criteria for eligibility..

I like that Tony, Jr, and Bobby Labonte are starting near each other, but not that they are all starting near Vickers, Speed, Hamlin, Sorenson, and even Kyle Busch.. Any one of those guys can ruin the evening for a bunch of people… That close to each other, and in front of the entire field, well.. I just hope I’m wrong, but Saddler may end up on the track alone..

Other than that I see a whole lotta’ passin’ goin’ on..

Congrats to Paul Menard and his fans. Dale Jr has a good starting place. This is like the 2nd time that Jeff Gordon has had to start from the rear, my friend is already having a melt down. Can’t wait for the race. Also cool to see Elliott on the front row.

Go Dale Jr & Hms

I’m just glad cars are back on the track!! But looking at the lineup, the most interesting part for me is going to be watching those guys at 25-28 coming up through the pack to the front. And hoping that Logano and Waltrip don’t start a big wreck. No offense to either of them. But Michael seems to crash quite a bit, and Logano is 18 years old. A little rust, and inexperience could make for a big one.

First person I thought of when Paul Menard got the pole was Mikey. Congrats Mykey.

As for the line up. Not to bad. Looks like Junior and Kyle are side by side. That should be interesting. lol

Not a way to start out the year for Jeff but I am sure he will make his way to the front no problem at all.

Look at Elliot Sadler sittin right up there in second place! Bet Prez is happy. There’s a lot of interesting side by sides, this could be fun! Maybe it will be a knock out instead of a shoot out. Lol Either way, I can’t wait for the start! Have a great evening all. Racing season is finally here! Good luck all!

It’s definitely interesting. Menard was my second pick to win the pole, so I wasn’t surprised about him winning it. And yes, congrats to him and straightedge. It will be interesting to see if Elliott and Reed can hook up together at the start of the race. It wouldn’t surprise me if they pull off a 1-2 finish like the Penske cars did in the 5 last year. And it will be fun watching the drivers in the back work their way up to the front. Hopefully it will be a good race!

Yeah it’s the luck of the draw, but I was a little surprised with some that are upfront but I like it. And it could get a little interesting with some of the ones that are starting side by side. I can’t wait til the shoot out! whooo hoooo, let’s go racing boys!

It is just the luck of the draw but I did like the how the stats are for the guys that start up front for the shoot-out they usually have a good season.

Goooo Junior!

I’ll say it’s scattered. Jeff Gordon last, while Menard luckily drew the pole, now I like it better if its real qualifying because luck happens!!!
