AJ4 practices at the 19th slowest speed among 20 cars recording times at Nazareth: the only greater futility was shown by Buddy Rice (hampered by a underaCheever Gen Ford) and Jaques Lazier, who crash on his warm up laps (Menard went home right after sensing Jacques could never handle a Gen Ford).

Meanwhile, Larry qualifies 33rd at Bristol, actually going faster than three other drivers before the provisionals.

And after he drops out for no known reason and finishes 38th while passing no cars for position on the track, he and the rest of team can beat the traffic out of town early.

How many points does the NASCAR system give for having a car that's better than the driver can finish with it?

AJ4 qualifies 18th ahead of only Buddy Lazier and Tora Takagi.

Those wishing to contribute updates and thoughts about Larry at the Gooberring tonight should begin posting at 7:30pm ET.

Stay tuned as the futility continues.

And this is the Buddy Backmarker that the Lemmings claimed never got a fair chance with CART.

Ooook.

Larry ends up 39th, crashing on the 273rd of 500 laps.

But as Ziggy would point out, he did have a top thirty car.

Sic transit gloria Foyt

And NASCAR is investigating how he lasted that long.

Just in the little time I have been listening to the earl race from the TV in the next room AJ IV has made contact with at least two cars trying to lap him (Barron being one) and Slo-Bud.

AJ4 finishes 11th, three laps down, among 13 running at the finish. This is good for 2nd place to Buddy Rice in the Not So Fast and Not So Furious Division.
