The Car of Tomorrow is showing signs of creating the parity NASCAR hoped it would.The top 10 in Friday practice for the Nextel Cup Series featured two drivers who must qualify on time for Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 300. Among them was Dave Blaney (29.438 seconds, 129.384 mph), who was the fastest of the 49 cars.
David Reutimann was 9th-fastest (29.684, 128.312 mph). Robby Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya and Reed Sorenson were also among the top 10.
At the other end of the spectrum, however, Kevin Lepage was only 48th fastest at 30.284 seconds (125.769 mph). In case you're wondering, A.J. Allmendinger was dead last at 30.329 seconds (125.583 mph).
In the Busch Series, Shane Huffman went to a backup car after slapping the wall and wrecking the rear end of the No. 88 Navy Chevy during rookie practice.
Clint Bowyer was fastest in Busch practice at 29.410 seconds (129.507 mph).

That's pretty good when 9 10ths seperates 1st from 49th.
