ENNIS, Texas (Oct. 10, 2003) - Scotty Cannon qualified his Oakley Time Bomb
Dodge in the No. 6 spot tonight for the O'Reilly Fall Nationals, with a
solid 4.902-second run at 318.58 mph, a far better pass than the
tire-smoking 8.721/93.75 he saw in this afternoon's first session, which put
him out of the field.

"We knew we had to put a conservative setup into the Oakley Dodge in order
to make it into the field, and it worked," he said. "I'm pleased with that
pass and it's great that we're solidly in.

"We also had a computer problem in the first run today, which looks like we
fixed by the second pass," he added. "So, we will try to improve on this for
tomorrow."
