NASCAR officials disallowed a qualifying speed by #46-Dennis Setzer, but the big loser was a young driver from Concord named Dana White. Setzers punishment? He dropped from fifth in the qualifying order to 33rd (the first provisional slot). The problem was in the right-front springs in Setzers Chevrolet, according to officials. What was interesting was the fact the disqualification of Setzer cost White a spot in the starting field. By giving Setzer a provisional, NASCAR took one away from White. The move also enabled Brendan Gaughan, whose Dodge is sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts, the 32nd starting position, based on his average speed. Had Setzers truck not been declared illegal, White would have made the field and Gaughan would have been sent packing.(Gaston Gazette)(4-13-2002)
