The unofficial semi-live stuff

Kyle Busch wins 2nd Gatorade Duel 150: #18-Kyle Busch won the 2nd Gatorade Duel Qualifying Race on Thursday. Busch's win means he will start 4th Sunday in the Daytona 500. #5-Martin finished 2nd but holds on to the 2nd starting spot. The rest of the top 10 were #83-Vickers, #42-Montoya, #11-Hamlin, #96-Labonte, #88-Earnhardt Jr., #99-Edwards, #41-Mayfield [raced in] and #44-Allmendinger [raced in]. With Mayfield and Allmendinger racing their way into the Daytona 500, #78-Smith and #28-Kvapil will fall back on their qualifying speed to make the race and #87-Nemechek and #08-Said will miss the race, they were the other drivers who had a chance to make the race via qualifying speed.(2-12-2009)

17) #19-Sadler (16)
18) #29-Harvick (24)
19) #28-Kvapil (4) IN on speed

23) #57-Benning (28) DNQ

26) #73-Garvey (23) OUT - DNQ
27) #64-Bodine (27) OUT - DNQ
28) #08-Said (11) OUT
NOTES: on lap 44, #88-Earnhardt Jr. had a front right tire go down and made an unscheduled pitstop and lost a lap, then on lap 45, #5-Martin and #83-Vickers came down to pit for tire problems, both losing a lap. #39-Newman came in to pit with a tire going down on lap 13, was gonna lose a lap until the caution came out

Cautions:
1) lap 15 - #08-Said looks like he lost a tire and turn right, into the wall, #82-Speed had no palce to go and has front end damage. Said's only hope to make it into the race is for #78-Smith and #28-Kvapil to race in so Said can fall back on his qualifying speed
2) lap 48 - #39-Newman dropped down to get past a slower car and #00-Reutimann got into the #39 and turned the #39, Newman went head first into the wall and slid to the infield, he is ok. Earnhardt Jr. got the lucky dog.

to the back: #39-Newman [engine]

Jeff Gordon wins 1st Gatorade Duel 150: #24-Jeff Gordon won the 1st Gatorade Duel Qualifying Race on Thursday, his first win of any kind since Charlotte in Oct 2007. Gordon's win means he will start 3rd Sunday in the Daytona 500. #14-Stewart finished 2nd and raced into the Daytona 500 and will start 5th. The rest of the top 10 were #48-Johnson, #20-Logano, #8-Almirola, #2-Busch, #9-Kahne, #36-Riggs [raced in], #98-Menard and #26-McMurray. Pole sitter #1-Truex Jr. got loose and spun late in the race, finishing 21st, but will start 1st in the Daytona 500. With Stewart racing his way in, #78-Smith locks into the Daytona 500 via speed. #87-Nemechek can still make the race via speed if Smith or #28-Kvapil race in. #08-Said can make the race via speed only if Smith AND Kvapil both race in. #21-Elliott locked up his transmission and finished 27th and will start 40th via speed. #66-Labonte failed to race in but makes the race via the past champions provisional.(2-12-2009)

NOTES: even before the 2nd Duel, #78-Smith is now locked in the Daytona via speed
on lap 46, #16-Biffle drifted high and fell back about 8 spots
#55-Waltrip came in to the pits before the green flag, didn't have the transponder installed
all the drivers came in to the pits during the 2nd caution

Cautions:
1) lap 3 - #2-Busch spun off turn 3, no damage, may had gotten a tap from #7-Gordon after Busch got loose
2) lap 25 - #23-Skinner lost fuel pressure and went to the garage, THEN during the caution #21-Elliott had the transmission locked up and he ended up hitting the wall with the front right. Jackman Kyle Roland, got hit by #27-Shelmerdine, and was awake and alert but taken to the infield care center by a stretcher, he was on loan from #41-Mayfield's team. Logano overshot hit pit stall and lost 10 spots.
3) lap 48 - pole sitter #1-Truex Jr while running 6th, wobbled and got loose and spun off turn 3, didn't hit any other car and looks like the car no serious damage, the splitter braces look broken. All the cars came in to pit during this caution BUT #26-McMurray, #09-Keselowski, #66-Labonte, #27-Shelmerdine. Two tires only for #98-Menard, #8-Almirola
4) lap 53 - multi car wreck off turn 1 when #17-Kenseth and #77-Hornish move up and get into each other, squeezing #34-Andretti, #20-Logano got into the slowing #07-Mears, spinning Mears around. Then #6-Ragan got off the track with a flat.

to the back: #55-Waltrip [backup]; #26-McMurray [backup]; #07-Mears [engine]
