That team has really gotten off to a slow start this year. That is a big shot in the arm for a team that has had so much bad luck . Good job to the 21 team!!!!!

So is anyone aware of the drama that took place after qualifying? To make a long story short, shatz got 2 laps to qualify. He did not qualify well at all. Around 5 cars later, shatz comes out to qualify again without explanation from anyone. He takes his lap (with a better line) and ups his time by quite a bit. This shakes up the line up and puts s. kinser starting 5th instead of on the front row of his heat. Kinser walks around mad, tells his crew to load the stuff up. The crew loads the car up and act like there taking off. Time goes by and the heats are about ready to start. Kinser takes his car out at the last second and decides to race.  Has anyone heard why shatz got another lap? I did hear that greg wilson was in his way before he started his first lap coming into turn 4 but i really find that hard to beleive. Shatz chose a horrible line either way on the first lap and it wouldn't have made any difference. Anyways, please discuss, if you have the real reason why he got an another lap please let me know!

Sounds like Schatz claimed "interference" and the officials agreed.  Tough luck for SKinser, that 16 spot is the sweet spot in the qual standings, expecially with the KR format of transferring the winner of Heat 4 to the pole for the Dash.  Funny to hear the 6 times King of the KR went into a pout when he got bumped down by Schatz's run.    Rob Cheney ended up with that 16th spot but couldn't capitalize on the pole start in the heat and finished 3rd.  Daryn won Heat 4 to start the Dash on the pole, but got passed by Joey, Jason Meyers and Dale Blaney in the Dash, so started the A Main outside Row 2.

Pfff  "interference" They should have gave him a tissue instead of another lap. I didn't see anything different about his lap then anyone else's
