Stunning. What else do you call the surprising qualifying results for the Toyota teams at Talladega Superspeedway today?
Michael Waltrip is on pole. Dave Blaney shares the front row and five of the top six are Toyotas - including Jacques (gasp!) Villenueve at sixth freakin' fastest! Dale Jarrett starts 43rd, despite his 8th fastest time.
Start the inquiries! Where's the jet fuel? Why is Joe Gibbs smiling? How soon is Daytona?

Ask Rod Serling!
Charlie, Robert, should be a good show at Toledo next week. The Glass City 200 is one of the premiere events of the year there.

Showing your age again with that Rod Serling refference there Marc. Might be appropriate for what happened today at Talladega though.
The Glass City 200 was run on 9/22/07. Next weekend is the first ever ARCA Championship weekend. ARCA will wind up all of there national series at Toledo Speedway for the first time. It will be great and I hope to catch you Robert. I will get with you later.
Hey guys, this Cup race ought to be wild, huh?

DJ starting 43rd with the 8th fastest time--what's wrong with that picture? This should be interesting.
I guess I missed the call on Jacques probably not making the race. Not only Jacques but Sam too.
I hope Charlie's on-air prediction of mayham is off base.

So is Toyota now unveiling their master plan to dominate the world?
PS...but why Mikey to lead the charge, he needs a muzzle.
