47 drivers qualified for Sunday's race. Scott Speed, Tom Hubert, Chris Cook and Brian Simo failed to qualify.
Vickers' teammate, rookie Scott Speed is currently 36th in the point standings and needed to qualify on time. After Speed failed to make it in, Red Bull Racing worked out a deal with Joe Nemechek to put Speed in the race in his place. "I came here to race," Nemechek said. "But I told them - Hey, whatever you need me to do."
And what would be a racin' weekend without a little bit of rain. The Camping World Truck Series race @ Milwaukee was washed out. The race has been resheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 (our time).
