DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- David Gilliland might have summed up Daytona qualifying best. "Its uncontrolled chaos out there," Gilliland said Friday after landing the pole in a rain-shortened and somewhat hairy session that set the field for the Coke Zero 400 on Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway. Gillilands top speed during a hectic, cat-and-mouse qualifying session was 199.322 mph, earning him his third Sprint Cup pole and first since landing the top spot for the 2007 Daytona 500. All three of his poles have been at restrictor-plate races, with the first one coming at Talladega in 2006. "Front Row Motorsports, our strong point is definitely speedway racing," said Gilliland, who finished third in the 2011 Daytona 500. "It is something thats circled on our calendar from the start of the year. We put a lot of emphasis on it. The restrictor-plate tracks are good equalizers. David Ragan and I both have good enough cars to win, and that is an exciting feeling. Its something we dont have every week." The top 24 drivers Friday in the first knockout stage were supposed to advance to the next round, but rain prompted NASCAR to cancel the final two sessions. Reed Sorenson qualified second, followed by Landon Cassill, Bobby Labonte and Jimmie Johnson. Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will attempt to become the sixth drive to sweep both annual races at NASCARs most famous track Saturday, was seventh. All the talk during and after was about how the qualifying session shook out. It was the first time NASCARs new qualifying rules were used at Daytona, and it produced some hairy moments as groups of cars slowed to a crawl around the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway. The small packs -- most of them formed by teammates -- were hoping to pull behind bigger groups to produce fast laps. But no one was eager to lead the way. "Its a mess," Earnhardt said. "You have to be in the very back and try to get a big tow. I aint ever seen anything like it. Its the funniest thing Ive ever seen." Risky, too. Several cars turned down pit road to get away from the disorder. But the most common concern was the speed differences, with some packs creeping along while others ran full speed. "It was really wild and it was pretty dangerous," Matt Kenseth said. "Theres car doing 80 and there were cars doing 200 and nobody wanted to go. Everybody wanted to be in the back of the pack and try to catch the front to get a (fast) lap, so it was pretty chaotic." Similar qualifying took place at Talladega in May, when teammates stuck together in hopes of besting the field. But drivers clearly tweaked some things from those sessions. "There was just so much going on out there and its a wonder we havent wadded a bunch of cars up," Brian Vickers said. "A lot of guys running even slower than at Talladega and then some guys even taking chances on blocking the field, which was what really almost caused a few wrecks." Penske Racing teammates Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano were among those who did not advance past the first stage. Danica Patrick, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Larson, Jamie McMurray, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch also did not get to the second knockout round. Joe Nemechek was the only driver who did not qualify for Saturdays 400-mile race. "Its just about being lucky as to who can make it through and who gets the right run," McMurray said. "Its just so crazy that everyone pulls out and doesnt go and then stops. It is what it is. Everyone has the same conditions. It just doesnt feel like racing ... because half the time people are running 40 mph. I dont even really know what to say because its so messed up that I cant explain it."

How many times did that happen in PL history? @ChelseaHeroTomaMARTIN SAYS: According to our friends at Opta, Chelsea are actually the first team to achieve this quirky feat in the Premier League era.The run started with a 3-0 win over Leicester at Stamford Bridge, with Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses on the scoresheet. Watch highlights of Middlesbrough 0 - 1 Chelsea They then beat Manchester United 4-0, Southampton 2-0 and Everton 5-0, before Costas winner secured a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Nissan Super Sunday.They face Spurs next at Stamford Bridge. A goalless draw or a 6-0 win keeps this stat alive!Leaving it lateTottenham always seem to score last-minute goals against West Ham. Has any team scored more against another PL team? CraigMARTIN SAYS: According to Opta, Harry Kanes late penalty against West Ham was Tottenhams sixth goal scored in the 90th minute or later against West Ham in the Premier League - their most against any single Premier League team.Kane (February 2015), Eric Dier (August 2014), Gareth Bale (February 2013), Jamie OHara (December 2008) and Darren Bent (May 2008) have also scored in the last minute for Spurs against West Ham.For Hammers fans it may feel like an all-too-often occurrence against their London rivals, but Tottenham themselves have a tormentor with an even great appetite for late goals. Watch highlights of Tottenham 3-2 West Ham They have conceded 10 times in the final minute or later against Chelsea, the joint highest number of goals in Premier League history.Food for thought for Mauricio Pochettino as he prepares his side to face the Blues at Stamford Bridge this weekend.Youll notice I said joint highest, though. Chelsea share top spot with Arsenal, who have also scored 10 goals from the 90th minute onwards against Aston Villa.Most 90th-minute goals in the Premier League v same opponent:Arssenal v Aston Villa (10 times)Chelsea v Tottenham (10 times)Arsenal v Leicester (9 times)Chelsea v Wigan (9 times)Liverpool v Arsenal (9 times)Staying the sameWhich PL team has gone the longest period of time without naming an unchanged line-up? Andrew FMARTIN SAYS: Chelsea and West Brom were the only teams to name an unchanged side last weekend.dddddddddddd In fact, Antonio Conte has named the same starting XI for the last five matches.Most managers prefer to rotate, though, none more so than Jurgen Klopp.Liverpool have gone 40 matches without naming an unchanged line-up - more than double any other Premier League team.Klopp has only picked the same Liverpool line-up once, when the XI that started his first match in charge - a 0-0 draw at Tottenham - started again against Southampton a week later on October 25. Watch highlights of Southampton 0-0 Liverpool The Reds drew that game too before Klopp made one change for the trip to Stamford Bridge, bringing in Roberto Firmino for Divock Origi. A lot of those were due to injuries and the number of games they had last season. Klopp does have some continuity.Liverpool won the match 3-1 and since then the German has not looked back, making at least one alteration to his line-up every Premier League match-day, including against Southampton on Saturday.Five other teams have changed their line-up in every match this season. West Ham and Tottenham last named an unchanged line-up last April (15 league games ago). Sunderland last named an unchanged line-up in May (13 league games ago), as did Middlesbrough (12 league games) and Manchester City (12 league games).Wait for a braceHow long was the gap between Victor Anichebes Premier League braces and is it a record? MarshieMARTIN SAYS: Before his double for Sunderland against Hull, almost 10 years had passed since Victor Anchibes last Premier League brace.When Anchibe smashed home his second at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, he ended a 3,612 day wait since his last Premier League double.That came in December 2006 against Newcastle at Goodison Park as Anchibe scored twice in a 3-0 victory for Everton. Watch highlights of Sunderland 3-0 Hull But remarkably, Anchibes is not the longest gap between Premier League doubles.The record belongs to Damien Duff, who bagged two for Blackburn against West Ham in December 1997 and then, 4,823 days later, struck twice for Fulham in 2011…against Blackburn! Thats a 14-year wait!While were here, you might like to know the longest break between two Premier League hat-tricks is 2,243 days. Jermain Defoe hit five for Tottenham against Wigan in November 2009, then scored a treble versus Swansea in January this year.Low for LeicesterLeicester are down in 14th. Is this the lowest a Premier League champion has been the season after they won the title? Jordan HMARTIN SAYS: Leicester have actually been lower than this earlier in the season. After one game they were 17th in the table, which is the joint lowest a defending champion has ever been in the Premier League.Blackburn dropped as low as 17th in the 1995/96 season and Leeds were 17th at the end of a day in the 1992/93 season - although the Premier League had 22 teams back then and for the record they were champions of the old Football League, not the Premier League. Watch highlights of Watford 2-1 Leicester Chelsea dropped to 16th last season, while Manchester United were also 16th early in the 2007/08 season (this data is based on the END of a day of fixtures).Leicester are currently two points above the relegation zone. No champion side has ever been as low as 18th in the Premier League era and we have never seen one in the relegation zone.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.
