Yes , like Bryan said if you didn't make the field in qualifying you can just go up & sit at the back of the lanes & they will fill in the no shows with the next available qualifier. I got in the field that way back in 1998. That year I was in the field at #124 after qualifying then was bumped out by single car class winners, ended up as first alternate after a few were kicked out in teardowns & made it in the show when Howard Thompson was a no show Sunday morning. The sad thing is that this year (for the first time I can remember at least) there were not even enough cars to fill all the alternate spots. How much longer before they dont even have 128 cars entered?
