5. Kevin Harvick / Larry Stathas: He knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone who met Kevin Harvick

6. Sterling Marlin / Kay Kellar: A lock for a top 10 finish. Is Kay's hair and that car really the same color?

16. Jimmy Spenser / Neil Rechsteiner: They never forget. Unfortunately they don't know very much

17.Steve Park / Debbie Hussian: They both need a year off

18. Bobby Hamilton / Dianne Pirlot: Will contend at times. Both could use some new wheels

19. Jerry Nadeau / Jeremy Bisick: Way to much undeveloped potential
