Dickies 500 Qualifying

Today there was a total of 48 cars who attempted to qualify. This meant that a total of 5 cars had to go home, in order to field a 43 car field. This weekend, mother nature did not impede on Joey Logano’s attempt to qualify his way into the race. Fortunately for Joey Logano, he barely squeaked into the show, qualifying into the 43rd qualifying position. Jeff Gordon would win the pole at Texas.

The five drivers to go home was: Bryan Clauson, Tony Raines, Chad McCumbee, Max Papis, Johnny Sauter.

Nationwide Series

Practice Sessions

All of the practice sessions for the O’Reilly Challenge at Texas have already been completed.

O’Reilly Challenge Qualifying

There was no pressure for Joey Logano in the nationwide series. The number 20 Gamestop Toyota Camry is locked into the show, by virtue of being first in the owner points. So Joey Logano doesn’t have the same go or go home situation as he did in the Sprint Cup qualifying session. At the end of the qualifying session Joey Logano was ranked in the 8th position. He ran a pretty decent lap at 29.14, 3 tenths faster than his best time in practice.

O’Reilly Challenge Race

The O’Reilly Challenge Race will air on the first of November, starting at 3pm Eastern time on ESPN 2.
