For the second time this year Mother Nature turned her back on Patrick Carpentier, the driver of the No. 10 Valvoline Dodge. However, this time the old gal may have spared the affable Canadian a bit of embarrassment.
Carpentier, 44th fastest in practice, was going to need a minor miracle to find the half-tenth of a second needed on the high-banked half mile to grab one of the 43 starting spots for the Sharpie 500 scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
Jeff Green, in the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford and John Andretti, in the #34 Chevrolet were also locked out of the event. Andretti was 11th fastest in practice and Green ninth fastest, almost guarantees they would have made the race had qualify gone off as scheduled.
