Pre-race news

The big story that week concerned Tony Stewart. The two-time series champion was given an early release from the Joe Gibbs Racing team following the 2008 season, which was announced on Wednesday (July 9). It was then followed the next day (July 10) by the announcement that Stewart would buy one half of the Haas CNC Racing team, and the team would be renamed Stewart Haas Racing starting in 2009.
The owners of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. denied rumors that the team, founded by the seven-time NASCAR champion, is for sale.

Qualifying

Qualifying was cancelled due to rain, so the field was set by NASCAR's rulebook.

Failed to make race as qualifying was cancelled due to rain: Johnny Sauter (#08) and Tony Raines (#34).
