(TALLADEGA, Ala.) April 23, 2010 \u2013 Thursday\u2019s practice and qualifying results have Alli Owens psyched for today\u2019s main event at Talladega Superspeedway.<\/p>\n
Owens qualified for today\u2019s ARCA Series 250 in 11th-place. Owens rounded the high-banked 2.66-mile race track in 51.764 seconds (184.993 mph) on her qualifying lap, only .418 seconds slower than pole sitter Dakota Armstrong\u2019s time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited about today\u2019s race,\u201d said Owens. \u201cThe ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevy is awesome in race trim. We\u2019ve got a pretty good starting spot, but that isn\u2019t an indication of how good our car really is. It\u2019s super-strong in the draft. It\u2019s awesome in traffic. It has what it takes to get up front.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started last year from the back of the field and finished sixth, so I\u2019m not really worried about our starting spot. I\u2019m sure the leader is going to have to go from the back to the front more than once today. Most of my teammates are starting close by me. I know we\u2019ll do everything we can to help each other and work together. Hopefully the five of us will keep each other at the front of the pack all day and be in position to fight for the win at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
The race begins this afternoon at 5:00 EST. Coverage will be on SPEED.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
