Robby and Paul could hook up and go all the way to the front in a hurry. Two fast cars! they need to get back out and run together and go to the top of the speed charts.

yup. Pauls fast car might mean nothing when hooked up with RG's.

Just because they both can turn 1 fast lap, doesn't mean the car is fast. Just means he picked up a good draft lap while being in the back on the pack. Practice speeds don't mean anything at Talladega and Daytona.

But having your car talked about on TV dose mean everything!

But if RG was at the bottom of the drafting charts today, i might have to key DEFCON 5 status to the thread. Regardless if it matters or not, its still good to be on the top half of the chart.

Per current forcasts, they may get qualifying in tomorrow after all, assuming they can dry the track and still have time for them in the afternoon.

Per Jayski regarding Happy Hour practice;
NASCAR spent much of the session warning drivers to not drive so aggressively during practice. Midway through the session, #55-Waltrip was temporarily parked by NASCAR after bump drafting in the corners.
