NASCAR
Long-shot drivers qualify for Daytona
BY JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch both celebrated in Victory Lane, far away from the real winners of the Daytona 500 qualifying races.
Jeremy Mayfield choked back emotion. Al Allmendinger hid his tears behind sunglasses. Scott Riggs felt as if hed just won NASCAR's biggest race.
None of them are a threat to win the Daytona 500, but at least they'll be in the show.
Allmendinger, Mayfield, Riggs and Regan Smith earned spots in the season-opening race in Thursday's Gatorade Duels.
"It ites absolutely awesome. It's like we just won the race," said
Riggs, who finished eighth in the first qualifier.
None of the four drivers had rides a month ago, piecing together any opportunity they could to get them to Daytona International Speedway. Allmendinger was let go from Red Bull Racing late last year, and is clinging to an eight-race deal with Richard Petty Motorsports. Riggs became unemployed when Tony Stewart took control of his race team and revamped the driver lineup.
Smith was a casualty of the merger between Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Chip Ganassi Racing, while Mayfield has been out of full-time work since Ray Evernham fired him midway through the 2006 season.
Allmendinger, who failed
to make the 500 in his first two NASCAR seasons with Red Bull, will finally be able to rest after a stressful buildup to the qualifying races.
"I've been so nervous over the last couple days 'cause I've been in this position the last two years." Allmendinger said. "But I really felt like this year I deserved to be in the race, that this team deserved to be in the race."
Mayfield has felt the same way, watching from the sidelines as NASCAR roared on without him.
With no ride lined up, Mayfield at the last minute threw his own team together for one last try. He's got a mismatched group of volunteers, and after loaned-out jackman Kyle Roland was injured while pitting Kirk Shelmerdine's car during
the first qualifying race, Mayfield borrowed an emergency replacement from Michael Waltrip's crew.
"Man, 23 days ago we didn't even have a race team." Mayfield said after finishing ninth in the second qualifier. "It's a very unbelievable feeling. To know where we were at then, how much hard work has been done in such a short amount of time is just unbelievable. To come here and do this, it's like winning 10 races."
The 39-year-old journeyman is throwing everything into this effort. After racing just 25 times over the past two years, and failing to draw much interest when rides became available, starting his own team became the last option in continuing his career.
