Gordon earns Cup pole; Waltrip fails to qualify

Good. I don't like Waltrip. Not fond of Gordon, either though. I think Toyotas in general will have a steep learning curve this season.

Did they ever disclose what the " illegal fuel additive" was?

Anti-freeze, WTF? Christ, I figured it was Rocket Fuel the way the media was ranting on about it.

I think Boog's having a little fun with you. Anyway, they haven't announced what it was, but there's plenty of speculation:

It was an oxidizer that let the fuel burn hotter and it added more horsepower.

Waltrip, Mayfield, and Allmendinger are all fucked. Especially Waltrip. He's still negative in points and I don't see how any of these guys ever dig out of this hole. I felt bad for Mayfield because he's about the only Toyota guy that I like. All year long there going to have to try and qualify on speed hoping to crack the top 35 in owner's points. Dale Jarrett couldn't even run a qualifying lap and if not for his past champion provisional he wouldn't have raced in this or the 500. He's only got four more provisionals to use and if he doesn't get himslef in the top 35 by race 5 then he's out and not guaranteed a spot in the field. His team better start putting something together in a hurry. Right now Toyota isn't looking good and it doesn't look like there getting better any time soon. Toyota has got to be thrilled. They put alot of money in these teams and none of them look worth a shit.

At the rate Toyotas are being recalled there isn't much to fear. They'll be lucky to stay running long enough to finish the race.

I like that almost as much as a Raiders loss. But NASCAR will start giving them some kind of advantage (spoiler, weight etc.) until they get competitive.

I loved it when all the media jackasses were reporting he had jet fuel in his tank. Anyone with half a brain knows that hi grade kerosene won't work worth a shit in a gasoline engine....
