Bump spot for Stock at .860 - WOW. Will it go lower after class eliminations??

Looks like we have 4 cars getting gifts on Tuesday now.

anyone else notice that Bruno's COPO is closing the gap on the CJ's? considering the much shorter learning curve, I'm impressed

That is way LIberty's act and as far I know all clutchless do the same thing.

Hate to see Jeff's car wrecked glad he is OK ,he just went for scary ride at Bowling Green @ National open in May.

They posted a ladder, and last I knew they usually don't do that until after teardown, strange...

Does this mean that they are not doing tear down ?, or are concerned about incoming weather? or are still tearing down and alternates will go into any spot of any dq's ?

I don't remember a ladder being posted this early at this event

How do they have a ladder out before tech/teardown? Indy never had a ladder out for Stock until after dark on Friday any other year.
