Let's hope Carl brought some of that speed with him to Richmond!  |

Carl just got 3 laps in, he is currently the slowest, but hardly any of the underdogs have taken the track. Carls best lap was 22.213 @ 121.550MPH He always takes it easy early on in practice to feel out the car.

Carl just did 4 more laps, picked up some speed. 22.086 @ 122.249MPH. He is currently the 39th fastest out of 41 cars to practice. He is currently ahead of Dale Jarret and Ken Schrader. Tony Raines is currently 35th fastest, Jeff Fuller is 22nd fastest and Mike Garvey is 28th. The other underdogs have, for the most part, not taken the track yet.

He is only faster than one other underdog at this point, with Shepard and Shelmerdine yet to run. He is faster than Jarrett but he is locked in the top 35. He has to beat 4 underdogs to get in.

Carl needs to find the speed to beat at least one more outsider, Sauter 8th quickest so far. I love Richmond, when your driver has 2 career wins you look at those tracks more favorably.

Proud supporter of #1 and # 09 Johnny Sauter (But doesn't mind rooting for Carl on the side)

I was just about to post that Sauter was flyin' today, and you beat me to it. Good job for your driver!

Good lawd, Shelmerdine is slow. I mean, he is usually off the pace, but it's flat out BAD today. He did 4 laps, best lap was 24.428 @ 110.529MPH

They didn't have a good replay of it, but it looked like he just lost it on his own.
