That girl with her favoriate numbers of drivers on her fingernails had some wierd hands. She could take her fingers to a 45 degree angle upwards. That's the best I can explain that one.

Cox & Forkum weigh in on the recent Dateline controversy (and hit another one outta da park!):

138 posted on 04/07/2006 8:02:33 PM PDT by Darnright (Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.)

Some of the drivers weigh in on Dateline's dumb idea. Here are Jimmie Johnson's thoughts.

"If they went and harassed a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan wearing a Jeff Gordon T-shirt," Johnson said, "there'd be a fight."

Race Lineup

O'Reilly 300 | Texas Motor Speedway
April 8, 2006 32pm ET | Race 7 of 35

Once qualifying is over, the field is set by merging the highest ranked 30 teams in the owner standings with the fastest 12 cars not in those 30 positions, in the order of their qualifying speeds. The 43rd position is reserved for a former champion, provided he is not already qualified and satisfies the rulebook's criteria. If unused by a former champion, it goes to the next fastest car in qualifying.
