More qualifying

| | Comments (0) |

Kurt Busch has won his share of poles at California Speedway. He was a bit off the pace Friday, though.
"We were loose, loose, loose in practice," said Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge for Penske Racing South. "We tightened it up for qualifying and went too far. We were going for our third straight pole here, but that's OK."
Busch will start Sunday's race 18th.
"Maybe if we take a little off qualifying we'll do a little better in the race," Busch said. "I've won here before, and it'd sure be nice to do it again."
Ryan Newman will start one place behind his teammate, Busch, in 19th.
"We improved from practice, and it's not easy to do that here later in the day," Newman said. "It was a decent run. I don't thnk we're going to be top 10 material, but we were 19th in practice, and I think we'll be better than that."
Looks like his car was exactly 19th fastest in the field of 51 that qualifiied.
