Rained washed out qualifying for the Sharpie Professional 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, so the field was set by the rules book, top 35 in owners [NOT drivers points] points, race winners in 2004-2005 not already in, past champ, then by 2005 race attempts, ties broken by 2005 owners points. So #60-Carl Edwards starts first, followed by #21-Jeff Burton, #2-Clint Bowyer. #8-Truex Jr. and #33-Raines.
#17-Kenseth, #99-Waltrip and #29-Harvick make the race due to 2004 Owner Win, #49-Grissom makes the race as a Past Champion and #72-Geoffrey Bodine (attempts 6 – 37th 2005 owners pts), #23-Robinson (6, 41st), #0-Davis (6, 42nd) and #7-Mark Green (6, 44th) by race attempts. Missing the race were: #52-Brad Teague; #16-Justin Ashburn; #85-John Hayden; #56-Tim Sauter; #75-Jay Sauter; #04-Eric McClure.
