Robby Gordon/Paul Menard

[Bohr7]

Paul finished Nextel Cup practice in the 9th position in the Number 7 chevy belonging to Robby, not bad at all. Big woo hoo's for qualifying today!

Paul picked it up on the 2nd lap and qualified 38th.

nascar.com said 39th if that makes any difference at all

Thank you Hemp, I don't ever go to Nascar.com for any Nascar news, MSR and I took that from quals today so it may have changed to the official starting grid. Since Paul qualified the car, Robby has to start in the back anyway, 43rd (or whoever wrecked their car before him in quals!) so qualifying was mainly for pit selection and getting in the race.
