Teams that failed to make the field in first round qualifying and are 26th or worse but are guaranteed(by this I mean whatever happens in 2nd round, not where things stand now) to make the MBNA Gold 400 at Dover based on owners points: #99-Jeff Burton(5th in owners points); #12-Jeremy Mayfield(6); #3-Dale Earnhardt(8); #33-Kenny Schrader(9); #23-Jimmy Spencer(12); #40-Sterling Marlin(13); and #35-Darrell Waltrip(champ prov). The three teams that would miss the race if things stayed the same: #41-Steve Grissom(34 but no prov’s left); #96-Morgan Shepherd(43); and #71-Dave Marcis(44). Derrike Cope had a great lap and qualified 3rd and Matt Kenseth will get his first Cup start in the #94 qualifying 16th(nice job for the Elliott family) To see where the teams stack up in the provisonals, see Jayski’s Provisional Status Page.(9-18-98)
