Patrick bumped Janet Guthrie from the previous NSCS qualifying – at any track- record by a female, who had started ninth at Talladega and Bristol in 1977, and 18th for the Daytona 500 in 1980.
Sharing the front row with Patrick, and with a lap speed of 196.292 mph, will be Jeff Gordon locking himself into that position.
The rest of the starting line up will now be determined based upon on the drivers outcome during Thursday’s Duel 150′s, their speeds from today and six provisional positions going to the highest six cars from the 2012 owner points that did not already qualify by the way of the Duel 150′s.
The teams will not return to on-track activity until Wednesday when they will have two practice sessions (12:00 pm – 1:30 pm & 2:30 – 4:00 pm ET) prior to Thurday’s Duel 150′s that is slated to get underway around 2:00 pm (ET).
