BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Sunoco Pro Stock at the 9th annual Expressautoparts.com President's Cup Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:

Left Lane: Brian Gahm 		Runs 16.622/42.39, Now #2
Right Lane: Wayne Bishop 	Runs 8.007/192.60, Now #1
2:12 PM Gahm's engine started popping and crackling when he tried to launch. Bishop launched, went toward the centerline, backpedlaed, then continued.
Left Lane: John Konigshofer 	Runs 10.004/116.93, Now #3
Right Lane: Gene Wilson 	Runs 6.678/209.07, Now #1
These two made their burnouts, then had to shut off while Gahm's crippled car was removed from the top end. Konigshofer's car spun the tire shard, hit the rev limiter, then slowed. Nice pass by Wilson, the first real run we've seen so far.
Left Lane: Tom Lee 		Runs 6.687/209.59, Now #2
Right Lane: Wally Stroupe 	Runs 6.762/206.45, Now #3
Everyone expects Lee to take a shot at the Pro Stock records this weekend, the track just 80 feet above sea level and the highs predicted to be around 70 degrees all three days of the event.
Left Lane: Tim Bell 		Runs 22.992/31.15, Now #8
Right Lane: Angelo Alesci 	Runs 6.762/206.76, Now #3
Same story, lots of tire spin in the left lane, followed by engine problems, Bell coasting to a stop just past the finish line. Nice pass by Alesci.
Left Lane: Harold Robinson 	Runs 21.599/43.62, Now #8
Right Lane: David Jenkins 	No Time, Now #10
kine broke before the run. Robinson spun the tires and coasted through.
Left Lane: Bob Holzer 		Runs 6.799/201.19, Now #6
Right Lane: Jon Yoak 		Runs 6.691/210.18, Now #3
Yoak is tied with John Montecalvo for the points lead. Holzer made a good launch, showing that the problems in the left lane weren't due to the lane. His car started smoking on the top end and the car nosed over sharply.
Left Lane: Terry Walters 	Runs 6.908/201.85, Now #8
Right Lane: Floyd Cheek 	Runs 6.901/202.73, Now #7
Both runs looked better than the numbers that came up, both cars slowing on the top end of the run.
Left Lane: Dwayne Rice 		Runs 6.722/208.68, Now #4
Right Lane: Jason Collins 	Runs 11.975/67.43, Now #12
Collins' car was shaking and skating around, so he shut it down. Rice made a 1,500-foot pass to get through the 1,320.
Left Lane: Steve Spiess 	Runs 6.708/209.33, Now #4
Right Lane: Johnny McLain 	Runs 12.238/81.96, Now #14
Now it's the right lane with problems, McLain up on the wheelie bars and shaking the tires. Nice opening pass for Spiess, clean and straight.
Left Lane: Ron Miller 		Runs 6.661/210.47, Now #1
Right Lane: Tim Nabors 		Runs 6.727/207.11, Now #7
Finally a nice side-by-side pair of runs, Miller pulling away on the top end.
Left Lane: Chris Holbrook 	Runs 6.769/207.94, Now #10
Right Lane: John Montecalvo 	Runs 9.225/111.08, Now #15
Montecalvo launched with the wheels up, the rear of his car dancing around, then he shut it down. Nice pass by Holbrook after an early excursion over toward the wall.
Left Lane: Carl Baker 		Runs 7.129/200.98, Now #14
Right Lane: Jerry Yeoman 	Runs 11.554/74.85, Now #18
Baker's car went every way but straight on the launch, forst toward the centerline and then the wall before he reined it in and cruised through. Yeoman launched, shook, and gave it up.
Left Lane: Tony Fox 		Runs 9.594/94.16, Now #18
Right Lane: Ed Machacek 	Runs 6.705/208.55, Now #5
Fox's Mustang went into a "tank-slapper" and he had to give it up to keep from losing control. Machacek made a nice opening pass to close out a round of haves and have-nots.

Results for Qualifying 2

BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Sunoco Pro Stock at the 9th annual Expressautoparts.com President's Cup Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:

Left Lane: Steve Williford 	Runs 7.219/150.48, Now #15
				No Prior Run
Right Lane: Tony Fox 		Runs 10.398/88.89, Now #18
				Best prior run: 9.594/94.16, Was #17
1:29 PM Fox's '00 Mustang is so new it's still just basic blue, with a few decals, but no major signage. The car launches, gets sideways, fishtails a couple times, then slows. Couldn't see what happened to Williford on the top end, but he put the chute out around 1,000 feet.
Left Lane: Ed Machacek 		No Time, Now #5
				Best prior run: 6.705/208.55, Was #5
Right Lane: Carl Baker 		Runs 6.830/206.80, Now #12
				Best prior run: 7.129/200.98, Was #14
Machacek's car veered right on the launch and crossed the center stripe, DQ'ing the run. Baker continues to struggle, at least making a full pass this time around.
Left Lane: Jerry Yeoman 	Runs 6.709/208.01, Now #7
				Best prior run: 11.554/74.85, Was #20
Right Lane: Chris Holbrook 	Runs 6.710/207.94, Now #8
				Best prior run: 6.769/207.94, Was #11
Two nice runs here to shake the field up once again - this round should completely reshuffle the field.
Left Lane: John Montecalvo 	Runs 6.683/208.49, Now #4
				Best prior run: 9.225/111.08, Was #18
Right Lane: Dwayne Rice 	Runs 6.676/208.75, Now #2
				Best prior run: 6.722/208.68, Was #9
Two more even better runs, more reshuffling.
Left Lane: Jon Yoak 		Runs 6.664/210.73, Now #2
				Best prior run: 6.691/210.18, Was #6
Right Lane: Brian Gahm 		Runs 14.971/66.28, Now #22
				Best prior run: 16.622/42.39, Was #22
Yoak lays down a huge run here, just 0.06 seconds off the ET record and 0.04 mph off the speed record. Gahm shook very hard, the left rear tire chattering visibly.
Left Lane: Jason Collins 	No Time, Now #25
				No Prior Run
Right Lane: Tom Lee 		Runs 6.643/209.98, Now #1
				Best prior run: 6.687/209.59, Was #6
Missed Collins' numbers when Lee's chute failed to come out after a great run. Lee managed to get the car slowed and made the turn on the top end okay.
Left Lane: Gene Wilson 		Runs 6.678/209.52, Now #5
				Best prior run: 6.678/209.07, Was #5
Right Lane: Harold Robinson 	Runs 7.047/197.17, Now #17
				No Prior Run
Wilson duplicates his first run to the thousandth of a second.
Left Lane: Wayne Bishop 	Runs 6.892/203.19, Now #15
				Best prior run: 8.007/192.60, Was #19
Right Lane: Tim Bell 		No Time, Now #24
				Best prior run: 22.992/31.15, Was #24
Bell's engine popped and crackled on the launch, then went silent. Bishop squeaked into the field, but that time won't hold up under these conditions.
Left Lane: Angelo Alesci 	Runs 15.571/67.29, Now #12
				Best prior run: 6.762/206.76, Was #12
Right Lane: John Konigshofer 	Runs 8.016/135.54, Now #20
				Best prior run: 10.004/116.93, Was #21
This almost got very messy, Alesci's car veering right and almost crossing the centerline while Konigshofer's veered left and also almost crossed the line too. Both managed to avoid the meeting.
Left Lane: Floyd Cheek 		Runs 6.686/207.98, Now #7
				Best prior run: 6.901/202.73, Was #16
Right Lane: Ron Miller 		Runs 6.651/210.11, Now #2
				Best prior run: 6.661/210.47, Was #2
The Cougar makes its best run of the year and Miller improves his hold on second place.
Left Lane: Wally Stroupe 	Runs 6.755/206.57, Now #13
				Best prior run: 6.762/206.45, Was #14
Right Lane: Steve Spiess 	Runs 6.758/207.69, Now #9
				Best prior run: 6.708/209.33, Was #9
Spiess' car was a bit loose on the first half of the run.
Left Lane: David Jenkins 	Runs 6.798/204.54, Now #15
				No Prior Run
Right Lane: Terry Walters 	Runs 6.852/202.67, Now #17
				Best prior run: 6.908/201.85, Was #17
Jenkins squeaks into the field, putting Carl Baker on the bubble at 6.830.
Left Lane: Johnny McLain 	Runs 6.932/200.98, Now #19
				Best prior run: 12.238/81.96, Was #23
No joy for the Mopar camp, McLain about a tenth short of the field.
Left Lane: Tim Nabors 		Runs 6.699/207.30, Now #8
				Best prior run: 6.727/207.11, Was #12
Last car of the session. Nabors moves to the top half of the field with a smooth pass.

                                  Best prior run: 7.219/150.48, Was #23
