Cup Practice Results

The first practice for the Cup race at Sonoma has just been completed. Marcos Ambrose led it, which is pretty impressive considering he's trying to qualify for his first race. There are many practices at Infineon, so there is still a lot of time left to make adjustments.

Here's the top ten for today:
1. Ambrose
2. Jeff Gordon
3. Jimmy Johnson
4. Kevin Harvick
5. Michael McDowell
6. Jamie McMurray
7. Ron Fellows
8. Ryan Newman
9. Clint Bowyer
10. Kasey Kahne

If you didn't notice, three of the drivers that I think need to have a good race on Sunday are on the list. Again, this will change come raceday, but since qualifying is later today, these results are pretty important. It's pretty interesting that only one road-course specialist is in the top ten. It might just be that they didn't want to run many laps because they don't need to.
