I wasn't tossing Gayego, now I might consider.

That is just the order that they get to choose their post position

It's the order they decide what post they want. First come first serve.

All the speed is outside or will likely be....if I'm one of those starting with Bob BJ, I'd take the rail which will probably be one of the latter posts taken. He's going to the lead anyway.

I was thinking the same thing. That's the way they've done it in the past. I don't think the post position selection order has been determined yet.. I think that's the "pill pull" order that will determine post position selection order... is this confusing or what? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess it is the actual post position selection order.
