As mentioned, Keselowski is out: "Some years we have and no one wrecks and it's great racing, and then we have other years like this. As a team we missed three wrecks but caught the fourth one. We did everything right that we could, but we couldn't control that [the crash]."
Logano and Kahne will be doing all they can to take first place off Dillon. McDowell and Whitt are two unexpected drivers in the third row. Kahne was leading up until that wreck but Dillon will lead on the restart.
