Qualifying Recap: Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola
July 3, 2009 7:35pm CDT
Rain has forced NASCAR to set the field by owner point in three of the past four races, and that is just fine with Tony Stewart. "Smoke" will lead the field to the green for the third time this season, all courtesy of Mother Nature. While track position doesn't mean a whole lot at Daytona, the first pit stall certainly has its benefits, especially if the race comes down to a late stop. Jeff Gordon will start on the outside of the front row, and Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards round out the top five.
