48 Gets Pole at Dega

Jimmie Johnson will be starting on the pole tomorrow, due to a rain-out of qualifying today, per NASCAR.com.

I loved this tongue-in-cheek quote from Mike Sulka at PaddockTalk.com:
"Clearly, Hendrick crew chief Chad Knaus and the team have found another grey-area in the rules that allows the them to produce rain during the 'Chase' to create a more favorable starting position than they had expected. No one could be this lucky... could they?"
Oh, but Mike, did you forget that it's Halloween? It's not luck or any grey area in the rules; it's just that Chad's black magic is especially strong today of all days! Obviously, he conjured up a rain cloud out of thin air using his secret voodoo powers so his car could sit on the pole, of course!

On a somewhat more serious note, Happy Halloween, everybody!  Have fun, whatever your plans may be.
