Tentative owners’ points are posted for the Auto Club 400 locking in the top 35 for being assured starting positions. Eyes will be on the integrity of the #13 Bob Germain Toyota team that they will continue racing and not pull off and park as they stand in the cut-off position, #35. Other teams that engaged in the unscrupulous practice above 35th are James Finch, Phoenix Racing, car #09 and Robby Gordon, car #7 who parked for several races in the last half of the season.
The following teams will not make the cut:
36th – Kevin Buckler, #71 (61 pts. -6)
Decision to start and park resulted in Bobby Labonte leaving team in 2010. Recently announced plans to change from Chevrolet to Ford. Plans to “race” entire season.
37th – Tommy Baldwin, #36 (58 pts, -9)
Raced in today’s race in attempt to reach top 35th. Baldwin’s team is one of the most chronic scab freeloader teams.
38th – Brad Jenkins, #37 (58 pts, - 9)
Hired Tony Raines as driver. Contracted with Larry Gunselman to manage team. These actions appear prelude to functioning as a scab team.
39th – Bob Jenkins, #38 (55 pts, -12)
Limited funding sponsored team. No history of start and park.
40th – Rusty Wallace, #77 (24 pts. -43)
Part time ride for Steven Wallace.
41st – Tommy McMillen, #46 (20 pts, -47)
Flagrant start and part entry.
42nd – Michael Hillman, HP Racing, #60 (13 pts, -54)
Associated with Phil Parsons, insidious scab entry.
43th – Andrea Nemechek, #87 (13 pts, -54)
No intention to race, insidious scab entry.
44th – Phil Parsons, #66 (9 pts, -58)
Total freeloader, owner is SpeedTV NASCAR truck broadcaster, flagrant scab.
45th – Bob Kesolowski, #92 (9 pts. -58)
Family business for Brian Kesolowski. Future uncertain.
Three additional teams have entered one race including Michael Waltrip’s Daytona 500 attempt.
