From NASCAR.com regarding today's New Hampshire Cup qualifying:

Jimmie Johnson, the series points leader, initially qualified second at 135.902 mph but his speed was disallowed because his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was ruled too low in the front end on both sides. Johnson's car was late in making a qualifying pass after his crew frantically worked to get the car through inspection -- NASCAR officials ruled that a side skirt was too low and that the car had a weight imbalance of one pound, Johnson said.

The dismissal of his qualifying time means that Johnson will start at the rear of the 43-car field. It also means that Kurt Busch qualified second at 135.835, moving him up to the front row in the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevy.

I didn't realize I had so many friends on FB who hate JJ. My FB is blown up with nasty comments about jj, Chad and Rick Hendrick. I'm not really taking sides in this one but isn't Chad already on probation? Also, could this be a NASCAR ploy to fine JJ a bunch of points? Does New Hampshire need the Publicity since Prince Sparkle Pony couldn't qualify in the top 30?

I heard someone say, late today, that NASCAR is a joke and every word out of the mouth of any NASCAR official is funnier than anything Johnny Carson ever had as a monologue. Well, we will have to wait and see what happens.

God save the Queen!!!!
