I cannot believe that no one here has commented on this yet. Michael Waltrip wins the outside pole at Watkins Glen?! Jeff Gordon qualifies 23rd?!! We have clearly entered Bizarro World, folks. Strap yourselves in...
If it weren't for Ricky Rudd playing spoiler, Mikey would have won the pole itself! And he acted so casual about it, too. Of course, it was early on when they interviewed him, and he probably didn't think it would stand up for as long as it did. My goodness, what testing and a jolt of self-confidence will do.
Congratulations to Ricky Rudd, though! :calpping: I'm hoping this is the beginning of a serious 2nd half charge for the championship. No one would expect it either at this point, given all the silly season shenanigans. He seemed to really savor today's pole for that reason. When pressed yet again for answers, he confirmed that all he knew was that he would not be returning to Robert Yates Racing. Apparently, it's now off his mind and he can get back to racing. He must already have that new contract fairly well firmed up.
Look out, top fivers...
