Hendrick cars having engine problems....lets hope this keeps up



#12-Newman 189.765
#55-Waltrip 189.557
#22-Blaney 188.957
#21-Elliott 188.917
#9-Kahne 188.838
slowest #37-McClure 177.326 and #08-Long 182.760
47 of 53 drivers have made runs
The six who didn't run: #19-Sadler, #48-Johnson, #5-Mears, #24-Gordon, #66-Riggs and #96-Yeley
#88-Earnhardt Jr. lost and engine midway thru the practice and the team will change engines, then it was mentioned on SPEED's coverage that all the Hendrick Motorsports cars #24-Gordon, #48-Johnson, Earnhardt and #5-Mears will change engines as there is some sort of lifter problem. #66-Riggs team is changing engines, also uses Hendrick engines and the other teams that run Hendrick engines are checking them out: #09-Marlin, #87-Wallace, #70-Mayfield and #78-Nemechek [not changing engines]. Also #07-Bowyer lost an engine and is changing their engine.
confirmed engine changes: #48-Johnson, #5-Mears, #24-Gordon, #66-Riggs, #96-Yeley, #07-Yeley and #88-Earnhardt Jr. that means these drivers have to fall to the rear of the pack before the drop of the green flag for the Gatorade Duel they are running. This doe NOT effect where they start the Daytona 500. Team are allowed to change engines between the Duels and the Daytona 500.
