I've watched Nascar for over 20 years and the quality of racing has certainly declined and I don't like Nascar nearly as much today as I used to but thinking Nascar rigged qualifying to get the #3 on the pole is a stretch. All of the RCR cars were fast, including RCR affiliated cars like Martin Truex. Also there is no way you can rig a car to win a pole on a 2 1/2 mile track and still have the guys behind him within a couple hundredths of a second of his time. It might be a fun conspiracy to talk about but it's not realistic. Plus if Nascar was in the business of rigging things then Dale jr. would have won far more races over the past few years than he has.

#3 wins the pole and Jr. wins the race...nah, this wasn't planned....

Yes, I'm sure the fact that Junior had 6 prior restrictor plate points race wins before yesterday, had finished runner up in 3 of the past 4 Daytona 500's, and that two of his team mates finish in the top 5 along with him had nothing to do with his victory. Nascar planned the whole thing. Man, you would think with Nascar being so good at fixing outcomes they could have at least orchestrated a 1-2 finish for Junior and the #3 and maybe have even gotten Danica in the top 5.....

It isn't hard to give certain teams a "competitive advantage" is NASCAR chose to do so.  That's why all the cars are the "same" now, NASCAR now has more control over everything that happens on the track.
