2011 NASCAR SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500 Qualifying Order at Phoenix International Raceway

Qualify Order for Race Two on the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Circuit

RC Shivers
The practice speeds are in for the NASCAR Sprint Cup SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500 which will run on Sunday February 27. This marks the first week that NASCAR will qualify under the qualifying rules. Speeds from the first and second practice were averaged and the qualifying order was set from slowest to fastest while the last group of cars to attempt qualifying will be the cars that have to qualify on speed.

Kyle Busch who will run all three races this weekend has already taken the win in the Camping world Trucks Series and looks to try the "three-peat" for the second time in his career.

Carl Edwards who currently holds the points lead following the season opening Daytona 500 also holds the track qualifying record circling the one mile at Phoenix at a speed of 136.389 miles per hour with an elapsed time of 26.3951 seconds. Edwards also took home the win in the Chase race at Phoenix in 2010.

Other notables in practice in the final practice were David Ragan, Mark Martin and Jamie McMurray. This is not an impound race, but teams will not have time to make many changes and no chance to test the changes between qualifying and the drop of the green flag. Qualifying will start at 1:40 p.m. Phoenix local time and will be carried live on Speed TV at 3:30 p.m. eastern standard time. Check out the order to see when your driver will qualify.
