Qualifying Recap: Subway Jalapeno 250

July 3, 2009 6:45pm CDT

Mother Nature appeared to have given Kyle Busch a gift, canceling qualifying with just two cars remaining. However, NASCAR offcials decided to squeeze in the final two cars after the track was dried. As a result, Clint Bowyer earned the pole for tonight's Nationwide race with David Ragan to his outside.

Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and David Gilliland rounded out the top five while Busch will now roll off 19th instead of from the top spot. If Busch was the biggest loser, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was certainly the biggest winner. Instead of starting 33-rd based on owner points, the five-time winner will start seventh.

Kurtis Davis, Bobby Gerhart and Mike Harmon would have missed the show had the field remained set by owner points. However, all three made the event once the lineup was set by qualifying times.
