Chauncey Redmond Jr. earns his first career pole! A second-place start in last years Sharpie 500 was his previous best, leading 60 laps early in the go. Look for him to stay up front longer tonight. A fifth and a seventh in the previous three races brought the #64 New England Patriots team inside the top-35 for the first time all season. He finished 19th or better in both races last year. Look for him to crack the top-10 tonight!

Bill Werkheiser misses his first race since 2011! His collarbone injury at the Pepsi 400 was the talk of the garage area. Scott Jackson forced him to eat boneslaw; a scallion-based coleslaw with shredded chicken-bone to help settle the cartilage. Bill would go on to win Homestead later in the year. This time the #6 Piper team flat-out failed to qualify, finishing dead-last in the 80-lap qualifier. A morbid blow to a revered Extravaganza mainstay. The Southern 500 is next; a race Bill nearly won two years ago. Look for a bounce-back performance at the "old" facility for Old Man Bill!
