2008 Auto Club 500 Starting Lineup

By popular demand, I now present my new starting lineup video for this weekend's race at California Speedway. Sure, the field's set by points and we have no idea who's got what yet, but that won't keep me from churning out another of these!

I will apologize in advance that not all of the paint schemes are up-to-date. Due to this rained-out Friday practice and quals and the resulting dearth of pictures online of the nearly 20 new schemes debuting this week, I had to use several of the Daytona photos. Hopefully future videos will be more accurate.

Also, to fill in some of the blanks, I took a few photos from Jayski's Silly Season Site at www.jayski.com and RacingOne.com. Just wanted to make sure they got credit.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this video, put to the Tomoyasu Hotei's song "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" from the first volume of "Kill Bill."

Did Not Qualify (rained out):
#10-Patrick Carpentier
#27-Mike Skinner
#49-Ken Schrader
#84-A.J. Allmendinger
#08-Burney Lamar

EDIT: What?! The Auto Club Speedway?! You've gotta be kidding me!

Oh, I didn't start doing DNQ lists until this past week's race at Bristol.

For this race, the DNQ's were:

#08-Burney Lamar

#10-Patrick Carpentier

#27-Mike Skinner

#49-Ken Schrader

#84-A.J. Allmendinger

Rain washed out qualifying that weekend as well.

I hate the fact that the networks do not show that starting lineups anymore. Good job again.

Screw Califo...Auto Club Speedway. It's boring, it draws poor attendance for a metropolis such as LA, and it hurts drivers (Dale Jr, Greg Moore died, Ricky Rudd). Give both dates back to a track (Darlington, Rockingham, and North Wilkesboro would be my choices) who cares about racing and will skip work on a Monday to watch. Good video too:)

That's great news. These are very well done, man, and beats the hell out of the half-assed (or non-assed) job of the FOX Starting Lineup deals.
