Rogers turned in a 20.212 second lap with Caudill blazing the track in 20.215 seconds in one of the closest efforts for the pole in the history of the Seneca 400. These two Late Model Stock Car veterans will lead a strong field of cars down for the green flag Sunday evening at 3pm after the rest of the field is set through three heat races at 12:30.

The top twenty cars are locked into the field and that list includes some of the top names in Late Model Stock Car racing as well as a few surprises along the way. Jerame Donley, Ronald Hill and Brandon Dean complete the top five followed by Kelly Kingery, Kyle Grissom, Coleman Pressley, Jonathan Cash and recent UARA winner, Chad Mullis filling out the top ten.

Matt DiBenedetto driving again for Mitch West Racing qualified 11th with David Triplett, Jr., Lucas Ransone, BJ Mackey, Frank Deiny, Jr., Bo Foust, Matt McCall, Jeremy McDowell, Jamie Yelton and Austin Dillon completing the top twenty qualifiers. A couple of top names found themselves outside the top twenty including Alex Yontz, who will start 11th in the second heat race.

Yontz has recently struggled in qualifying for the big races starting with a terribly qualifying effort at Martinsville for the Bailey's 300. At Martinsville Yontz had to run a heat race, but raced his way into the field and had a good run once in the race. Yontz had a great race at Myrtle Beach in 2007 dominating much of the first half of the race, but fading late.

Other big names missing the race included NASCAR drivers Chad McCumbee and Timothy Peters as well as Ty Dillon, the grandson of NASCAR team owner, Richard Childress, who was attempting to make his first start. Two time Myrtle Beach Speedway track champion, Rick Smith also struggled in qualifying, but will start on the pole for heat race number one.

Darrell Wallace, Jr. qualified twenty-second, but at the time we left the track there was some question as to whether the NASCAR officials were going to disqualify the young driver. The officials accused him of spending too much time scuffing on his first lap. We'll see how this plays out, but Wallace didn't do anything that many of the top drivers

didn't do, so I expect that the NASCAR officials will make the right decision and let Wallace keep his qualifying position.

Heading home so far this weekend includes Brandon McReynolds, who wiped out his car on Thursday and became the weekends first casualty. Then 2007 Seneca 400 winner, Sam Yarbrough lost control of his car on Friday and said that he would not be able to get his car back together.

On Saturday a couple more guys added themselves to the list of drivers loading up with wrecked race cars. Paddy Rodenbeck and David Latour, Jr. both had a tough time in practice and eventually both crashed out and will not continue this weekend. Roger Lee Newton was another driver loading up today, but not because he was involved in a crash, but because they were unhappy with qualifying today. Also we would like to make a correction on stating that Dexter Canipe, Sr. was working on Newton's car he has been working with Corey LaJoie this weekend.
