This will probably happen. Never been a fan of 3 wide racing at Daytona.


Well I think it worked better in the draggy CoT because the cars were so much more stable. I know they've made this car more comfortable since February but they're still way short on downforce from where they once were (on the plate tracks). That's what makes me feel they're all looking too brave this early.

I could have sworn they said it was going to be uninterrupted? Maybe I miss heard.

The track's too narrow for constant 3-wide tho.

Huh!? Before the ad break I was watching the Coke Zero 400, come back from the break and they've changed the telecast to the Daytona 500

Final 30 laps will go commercial free.

No surprise on the single file. Better to have 30 cars racing at the end than in the garage at the beginning.

Kahne is in prime position to take some anger out on the 18 if he feels compelled to do so...

You saw what they could do, theres 145 laps to go, a 25 car wipe out on lap 20 is just STUPID. Let them single file it out for the next 100 have 30 cars on the lead lap for a CRAZY finish at the end. Go play some NR2K3

I think some cars are trying to form a train on the bottom now.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

It's time like this when I wonder why I stay up to beyond stupid'o'clock just to watch a shitty procession...

Then there becomes a slight hint of a second line appearing and I remember: "Oh yeah, that's why"

Actually Kyle, we didn't see that for the 29 in February. He was in a wreck.

Menard wants to practice the road course for the 24 Hour race in Jan, it seems.
