It bodes well for Tony Stewart, considering he was second there in June.

Yeah, smoke is sitting good right now.

You know for all of the complaining Montoya did about the conditions, (it started to sprinkle before the last 5 went out), the last four guys qualified 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 10th. It doesn't look like they were that bad as those guys were able to lay down fast laps. I know he was in a bad position going out after the jet dryers, but I think the problem was more in his head than actual conditions. I predict a yellow within the first ten laps as Montoya bumps someone trying to get back through the field, because his car is fast.

I'd say Smoke, Harvick, and Edwards have to be the favs now. Kyle, Jeff, and JJ still have a shot though.

Better watch out for Keslowski, he's up to third now.
