John Andretti's qualifying time was disallowed after his car was deemed too low in post-qualifying inspection. That put Said's No. 98, owned by Gillette Evernham Motorsports, back into the field. Andretti had qualified 16th, and he needed to make the show on time without a top-35 points standing to fall back on.
Andretti became the 2nd Cup driver in 2 races at NHIS this year to fail tech after qualifying. The same thing happened to Brian Vickers in June.
Said will start 43rd in the Sylvania 300 on Sunday.
Maybe it's not too late for the Said-Heads to get a run on that section of tickets up in turn 1, after all.
