The Bristol Bullring will be the big challenge for the more inexperienced drivers this weekend, namely Logano, Speed and Ambrose. Known for its rough and tumble action, flaring tempers, thrown helmets and "paybacks are hell" attitude, Bristol is as close to the Saturday night dirt-track free-for-all that was the kernel that birthed NASCAR as we know it today.

Almost to a man, Bristol is the favorite track of the veteran drivers; no restrictor plates, intimate atmosphere (can you say small and cozy?), and certainly NOT boring!!

Sunday Sprint Cup qualifying set the front row for the 2009 Daytona 500 with Martin Truex securing the coveted pole position and Mark Martin being bumped over to the outside pole. These two positions are the only ones set prior to the running of the Gatorade Duel races that will be run on Thursday, February 12th.
