Congrats to Rick Houser and Chris Holbrook, on the class wins...
You are big TV stars now!
Check out the espn3.com qualifying show, which can be streamed again. I watched it live, and then over coffee this morning. They ran the hemi shootout, and factory stock final. Its about 2/3rds of the way through, after Funny car, before top fuel.

On the head stud DQ, its a severe penalty for what is just a non performance issue. I understand a "don't show up with that on the car again" warning could have been the only thing said some years ago. The penalty doesn't match the infraction. After all, a stud is a bolt with a different head. With all the things that have been debated in that tear down barn, this seems like a very piddly rule infraction.
