Locked into the front row are Hendrick teammates Mark Martin on pole, and Dale Earnhardt Jr outside. Irrespective of how the rest qualified today, all they determined was the starting order of the two TWIN 125s on Thursday, the finishing order of those races determines the 500 starting order for positions #3 thru #43. But for today, Ryan Newman #3, Bill Elliott (!) #4, Montoya #5, Kurt Busch #6, Jimmie Johnson #7, Bowyer #8, Kyle Busch #9, and Jeff Gordan #10. Of note, Scott Speed #13, and Tony Stewart # 21.
