Qualifying in Phoenix?

May be...

A hundred cars could qualify for any race... but only 43 make it. In tommorows case 45 cars tried to make the race and 43 made it... that left Kyle petty, and John andretti. out of it. If i was really good at racing and wanted to be in nascar.. and i knew a couple drivers.. i could even qualify.
Isnt interesting how that works...
Have an awesome day!!!! (=

45 cars attempted to qualify of course only
43 will get to start. The
----
02 that are not are the #34 John Andretti & #45 Kyle Petty

Ironic that 2 of the most well known surnames in racing failed to qualify isn't it?

Yes Only 43 in the Starting field--45 Attempted to qualify--Kyle Petty & John Andretti failed to make the race!!!!!

I was reading the starting grid for the race here tomorrow night and it shows that 45 cars are qualified to race. Isnt there only 43 slots in the field?

Yup, that means 2 people will be packin their bags and headin home if they don't qualify for the race.

I believe it's the top 35 are in and the rest have to qualify based on time.

There are 43 starting. Two cars did not qualify. There's no limit to how many cars can try to qualify but only 43 make the show.

In the slot on the qualifying grid next to the driver's name it should say DNQ for "did not qualify."
