Qualifying at Infeneon.
A regular NASCAR driver with only one Cup win to his credit is sitting on the pole. His teammate, a former F1 driver, had to buy his way into the field.DVR . . . . . Life is too short to watch commercials.

Two laps would take twice as long.

I don't know if this still happens, but in the Nationwide series, they would send out groups of 5 cars to run as many laps as they could in a given time (i think it was 5 minutes) the slowest cars in practice went first and progressivly got to the fastest cars. i liked that format.
