Personally, I think this all highlights a flaw in the qualifying process. You're asking guys with zippo experience like Hornish and Dario to try and get top 20 results in their first few races in the category in order to secure a top 35 owner points position. And one of those races is Daytona where you have a big entry of extra cars too (although not so many this year)
I think there should be some kind of exemption for rookie drivers - it would help keep the driver pool fresh too - say, reserving 2 or 3 spots on the grid for rookies. Otherwise, its perfectly conceivable your rookie of the year is going to be the only one who pre-qualifies for all the races - what would be the point in that.
