On Wednesday at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tim Bainey Jr. and the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Series Team experienced a part of racing that up to this point they fortunately never had to experience before: failing to qualify for an event.

"It was pretty disappointing," said Bainey "I know it's something almost every team has dealt with in the past, but it doesn't make it any easier on you. It's a pretty bad feeling to be loading up after qualifying."

Bainey turned in the 34th quickest lap out of the 39 trucks taking time, but three of the trucks behind him were locked into the show as they were inside the top 25 of the NASCAR Truck Series owner points. In the end, Bainey and the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Team came up one position shy of making the field.

"I guess you're going to have a bad day once in awhile," Bainey answered. "We knew all day in practice we were right on the edge of making it. There were about six of us that were really close on time throughout practice. We were at the bottom of that list in one practice, and on top of it in the other practice."

Bainey and the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Team were 30th quickest in the first practice session and 32nd quickest in the final session.

"We tried something for qualifying that picked us up on speed, but just not as much as the other guys. I'm really proud of my Aaron's Dream Team, I feel bad for them and for our sponsors - they're all 100 percent behind us in this and that makes it tough. At the same time, if it wasn't for their support and 'we'll get them next time' outlook on the whole deal ... well that's what really makes me thankful we're surrounded with such a great group of people."

"We will go over everything in the next week and I'm sure our No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck will be ready to run at Iowa."

The next event for Bainey and the No. 00 Aaron's Dream Team will be the Lucas Oil 200 at Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA on Saturday, September 5.
