Who's in, who's out and where's Yeley?

Said-Heads might not want to snatch up a section of tickets to Sunday's Sylvania 300 after all.

Said missed out on qualifying for the race, bumped out of the show by Gillette Evernham Motorsports teammate Scott Riggs. Riggs was the 47th of 49 cars to take to the track at NHIS and dropped Said from the event.

Said has now failed to qualify for the last 3 Cup events he's entered. Rain forced him out of shows at both Daytona and Watkins Glen this summer.

Sam Hornish Jr., who was trying to make his Nextel Cup debut, also missed out in qualifying. After being 20th fastest of the 49 entries in practice, he turned a lap that was almost 3/10 of a second slower than his fastest practice circuit.
Clint Bowyer grabbed the pole, his 2nd of the season.
Both Red Bull cars made the show -- A.J. Allmendinger (40th) and Brian Vickers (43rd) -- and Dave Blaney (10th) and David Reutimann (20th) are also in.
J.J. Yeley qualified 21st. Casey Mears was 15th.
