No lead changes in 250 miles worth of racing on this Thursday (I don't consider Bill Elliott beating Dale Jarrett on the initial start of race 1 as a lead change, Elliott led all 50 laps in race 1 and Rudd led all 50 laps in race 2) Nice runs by Derrike Cope and Ed Berrier to qualify for the Daytona 500. 5. jp posted: 02.21.2009 - 9:05 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) i have a new way they should do it: take the top 22 in the 1st qualifyer, and take the top 21 in the second qualifyer and advance them to the 500. if they would have done it then, Bill Elliott would be on the pole with Ricky Rudd on the outside. 6.
