In this case, none of them really qualified becuase of the rain...it was the luck of the draw. That does make it a little easier to accept that they bought out the other teams. And maybe now one of those teams (Parker Kligerman's?) will be able to run the whole race at California. Parker was only supposed to run the first 8 races of ARCA last year and was doing so well he finished the season 2nd in points. I know Nationwide is a whole nother level, but I would love to see him get some track time and sponsorship. Right now they were only scheduled to try the first 5 races this year.
