Qualifying rained out, do they line up by points?


I think the first 35 are on points, but there might be some different
way (like number of previous qualifying attempts) to determine the
last eight (or seven, if there's a champions provisional).


If I'm reading Jayski's site right, the order for the "go or go
homers" is (a) most qualifying attempts, then (b) owners points, then
(c) it says "best finish", but this might be the "standard" tiebreaker
(most wins, then most 2nds, then so on down to 43rds, then best finish
in the previous race - then again, that's the same as "best finish,
then best 2nd-best finish, and so on"). Since nine drivers had
qualifying attempts in every previous race so far this season, 36-43
was based on points (although there was a tie in points for the last
spot, so they went to the best previous finish tiebreaker).
