Sam Hornish, Jr. qualified the #7 for Robby Gordon. Robby has not made it to the track after running a race in Utah.
The #7 car then failed post race inspection for being too low. The qualifying time was disallowed. Robby Gordon will start the race from the rear of the field (which he would have done anyway because of the driver change).Practice Results:

# Rookie of the Year Contender
In 2011, the qualifying order will be based on practice speeds
with each driver’s best lap in either practice determining qualifying spots
which will run from slowest to quickest among top-35 cars and
then slowest to quickest for non-guaranteed cars [go-or-go homers].
If qualifying is rained out, the order of the starting lineup would be determined by practice speed.
Who actually gets in the field is based primarily on owners points and other criteria in the rule book.
NASCAR holds a draw for teams without any owners points [not making a race this season].

#1) - First 35 by current Owner Points [team does not have to attempt all the races]
#2) - Last Years Cup Champ or the Event Champion if not already in the field
#3) - Car Owners whose team has won in the previous and current season not already in the field
#4) - Drivers who have won in the previous and current season not already in the field
#5) - Past Nextel Cup Champions not in by 1 thru 4
#6) - Qualifying Attempts with Owners points as the tie breaker
#7) - NASCAR will hold a draw for teams with no owners points (all above apply as long as the team was entered by the entry deadline - usually 7-13 days before the race)
