Don't you know NASCAR would crap it's pants if the 88 failed to make the race.  Highly unlikely but he isn't guaranteed to make the field. 

I think the 29 should be locked in since they are the only team with a win this year. Of course I might be a bit biased.

A bit?  I'd say a hell of a lot.  <br />

I would laugh my arse off if Truex didnt make it.

I heard through the grapevine that you'd be laughing for a long while to do that.
