Happy Hour practice for the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway is over after 90 scheduled minutes. Practices Friday could be more important then normal as there is rain in the forecast for Saturday [& Sunday], so the starting lineup could be set by fastest practice speeds [for the top-35], the go-or-go homers make the race by race attempts/owners points, then are set in the field by practice speed, so if qualifying is rained out, #81-Riggs would miss the race. The top five, slowest, notes:
#22-Busch 157.922
#2-Keselowski 157.591
#16-Biffle 157.522
#99-Edwards 157.370
#6-Ragan 157.000
slowest: #7-Wimmer 152.149 & #24-Gordon
incidents: #18-Busch smacked the wall and scraped the whole side of the car, the team made repairs to the car, replacing the crush panels.(5-13-2011)

slowest: #38-Kvapil 151.598 & #36-Blaney 152.607
incidents: #18-Busch lost an engine in late in practice and team is putting in a new motor, so wherever Busch qualifies, he will fall to the rear of the field before the start of the race; so he will be qualifying for a good pit position. #71-Lally smacked the wall early in practice and did some slight damage to the right rear.(5-14-2011)
Practice rank for the non top-35 drivers:
if things stay the same, these eight drivers would make the race:
