Hey, if the 1.2 under rule had been in effect, several of these oldPontiacs would have had to slow it down a bit.
Chris Denton, Bill Edgeworth & Bryan Phillips got their class win.

That does it for '08. The Burton's best qualifying was at their home track. Brad went 1.435 under & Scott went 1.366 under. I'd say those were 2 pretty strong 2nd gen Birds ! And, I assume that Brad thought his big win was pretty cool !
