Benson 30th at Sears Point

#10 Valvoline Pontiac driver Johnny Benson hoped for a little bit better result in Friday's single lap qualifying session at Sears Pont Raceway in Sonoma, Cal.

But he isn't about to concede anything for Sunday.

Benson placed 30th of the 45 cars making qualifying runs on the road course.

It might not be on the front row, but it's close enough to give him a shot on Sunday.

"We're a little disappointed but we have a hundred and some laps on Sunday to get to the front," Benson said after his run on the two-mile road course. "I think our car will be decent in the race and I'm sure (Crew Chief) James (Ince) and the guys will come up with some strategy to get us up to the front. We will be OK."

Ince remained confident as well.

"I'm confident we can still get a top ten finish or better starting where we are," Ince said. "We learned stuff qualifying that we can apply to the race. We will be fine."

Tony Stewart won the pole for Sunday's race that begins at 3 p.m.
