G C Spencer of Bluff City Tenn led second day qualifying for Darlington's 28th Southern 500 at Darlington International Raceway, pushing a Dodge to just over 152 mph to claim the 13th starting spot among 40 cars. Eleven others, including Ricky Rudd and Sam Sommers, qualified Friday after Thursday's pole winner Darrell Waltrip at 158.493 mph. Rudd faced illness and will likely use a relief driver Monday. Janet Guthrie attempted qualifying but engine trouble delayed her bid for the first Grand National entry by a woman at Darlington.
