Pocono: Starting Lineup

AJ’s bad luck streak continues as he is relegated to a 30th place starting position for Sunday’s Pocono 500. Qualifying was rained out at Pocono Raceway, as was first practice. The starting lineup will be determined according to the rule book, which uses the following format in the event of a rainout:
1) First 35 by current Owner Points [team does not have to attempt all the races]
2) Last Years Cup Champ or the Event Champion if not already in the field
3) Car Owners whose team has won in the previous and current season not already in the field
4) Drivers who have won in the previous and current season not already in the field
5) Past Nextel Cup Champions not in by 1 thru 4
6) Qualifying Attempts with Owners points as the tie breaker
7) Qualifying Order Position
(all above apply as long as the team was entered by the entry deadline - usually 7-13 days before the race)
