Well, the practic session is over. James Buescher had the best times today. He had a lap time of 49.355 with a speed of 182.325. Danica Patrick was 17th fastest with a lap time of 49.866 with a speed of 180.484.

The top 5 were..

1. #51 James Buescher - 49.355 / 182.325
2. #25 Mikey Kile - 49.379 / 182.264
3. #66 Mark Thompson - 49.513 / 181.77
4. #16 Joey Coulter - 49.537 / 181.682
5. #22 Dakoda Armstrong - 49.549 / 181.638
 
Well, qualifying is over. James Buescher won the pole. He had a lap time of 49.575 with a speed of 181.543.

Danica Patrick did very well, she qualified 11th with a lap time of 50.059 and a speed of 179.788.
 
The starting grid shows Danica in 12th. She had the same speed as Patrick Sheltra who is now shown in 11th. They both had lap times of 50.059 and speeds of 179.788.
 
Danica's race could save new ticket holders money for this year's Indianapolis 500 by leading laps in this ARCA race.

If Patrick leads 40 laps, fans will receive a $40 reduction from the regular $90 price of a Tower Terrace ticket purchased between Saturday, Feb. 6 through Saturday Feb. 13. If she leads all 80 laps of the race, fans will receive the $90 ticket for $10!

In honor of Patrick's ground-breaking 19-lap run at the front in the closing laps of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in 2005, the Speedway will offer at least $19 savings on Tower Terrace tickets for the 2010 Indy 500 purchased during the promotion dates. If Patrick doesn't qualify for the ARCA race or leads 19 or fewer laps in the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, the ticket price reduction remains $19.

The promotion is for new purchases of Tower Terrace tickets only.
 
So, based on the first handfull of laps, looks like about 80% of the camera time will be on Danica...

Sure, bottoms up :D
Rules: Drink for every car in wreck plus for every caution lap, plus every time we hear Danica
Oh and yeah every go daddy commercial
 
Looks like this race is going run over in time. At this rate they'll still be racing at midnight tonight or is that wrecking till midnight.
 
Some of these guys act like they haven't even seen a plate race. This has been a boring one, reminds me of the Cup race at Dega.
 
Gerhart wins #6. Too bad about Owens, she had a great run going.

Where was the yellow with that 2 car spin coming out of 2?
