Ambrose smokes field in rainy, slow qualifying session

http://www.nascar.com/races/bg/2009/25/data/lineup.html

Edwards 2nd, Fellows, Said, and Coleman in the top-5. Hope to see some rain during the race tomorrow as well!!

Yeah!!!!! He did smoke the field in the rain WTG MARCOS!!!!!!!!!!
I also hope it rains during the race. That was a fun qualifying to watch.

Didn't Said blow an engine during qualifying? So he'll be starting in the back. Probably a good thing, as far away from Ambrose as possible.
Sorry, but I think Said is an idiot. I saw a side of him that was uncalled for when he had problems with Marcos and made a threat that he would wreck him in the future. Come on Boris, you are better then that. Well, I hope so at least.

I didn't see qualifying, so I'm not sure, but I don't see anything about Boris losing a motor...

All I can say is CONGRADULATION CARL---GOOD JOB---Never saw Carl drive so hard

Felt bad for Marcos, but if you make one mistake in the final turn, you might as well kiss your chance at victory good-bye.

Congrats to Carl and the entire #60 Citifinancial team!!

that was a crazy finish! i thought marcos had all but wrapped up on the last lap. but carl was gaining on him & marcos gave carl all he needed & made the mistake. happy that carl won!

That was a very Kyle Busch type interview from Marcos there.... little bit of attitude from the Aussie...

Congrats to Carl! Nice job keeping the pressure on and taking advantage of the slip!

Menard was doing a great job during the whole race and than WHA HAPPEN???????????? He ends up 15th(i THINK)

Two laps and Colin blows an engine or something went wrong. Wonder could he have been testing something for FORD's New engine. (like that new cooling system)

Menard got wrecked with two laps to go... that's a shame too because he had a good run going.

He showed true emotion. He was totally upset with himself....and he really didn't care to talk about it w/pit reporters. He screwed up.
You shouldn't compare him to Kyle. That's wrong.

It was a total heartbreak for him. He was the class of the field ALL day long. He got screwed by the cautions at the end and made one mistake that lost him the race. What a heartbreak. Yeah I guess that might give ya a bit of an attitude ...... earned.

I felt so bad for him

Exactly. Carl never left his tail and never gave up.

from his interview it sounded like he did

not day- weekend

I'm just used to Marcos being happy and more positive after races. Not used ot short-fused comments and then walking off from him.


Not all drivers can be as positive after bad things in their interviews as Carl Edwards, I guess....

I guess it depends on your interpretation
