James Hylton and the EM Motorsports team kicked off the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX season with a rare DNQ.  Hylton piloted the Rhino's Energy Drink Dodge Charger to a 50.983 second (176.529 mph) run during qualifying but that wasn't quite fast enough to put the team in the field for the 45th running of the event.  The top 32 positions were awarded based on speed, with the 32nd spot being held by Brian Scott with a 50.589 second (177.975) run.  The remaining positions in the field was awarded based on 2007 team owner points and event participation / consistency.
