With 76 cars in the pits last night it was definitely tough to make the field. My question is how where the following 6 drivers chosen for a provisional? Richards, Pearson, Moyer, Jr, Bruening, Satterlee, and Jackson, Jr. I understand the first four as they were/are Lucas Oil regulars, but why was Satterlee and Jackson chosen for a provisional?
There was a fast time provisional, but I can't remember who received it.
Will Herrington got the fast time card.

There is no purse money set aside for emergency provisional starters. Those drivers must advance to a position that pays more than start money and they then receive the difference.Quote:

I don't liek provisionals. You either race your way in like an adult or pack up and leave. No more handouts for the losers.
