Shootout/Daytona 500

[basswipe]

I'm hoping for some decent racing this year.

Fastest laps turned on the repaved surface since the institution of the restrictor plate.203+mph average drafting lap in yesteday's Shootout practice.

Anticipating tonights' shootout and the 500 next week.

Probably won't watch a race but the sponsorship by bud on the 29 is cool. I'll get into if Jr. is any good but I'm not holding my breath.

JR is the most overrated, under producing driver out there.
The track has been real sticky. Should be a great 500 next week.

engines go BOOM! at 9700 rpm

Dang 2 car dancing. 10 mph closing speed WTH.

206 top speed? it's gonna be an interesting week.

That's my feeling also.But 43 cars going those speeds for 500 miles should make for some good racing next week hopefully.

I actually find the duels to be the best racing of the week.

hope so ><><<

well if not anything else / this week ny nascar die casts started to move again on e/b

junior got mo stupider on the off season. either that or he just has public speaking issues. his interviews this weekend were tuff.

the tandem racing was interesting. curious how the new cars do on shorter tracks, if there's a change at all. plan on tuning out for all the cookie cutter tracks.

i miss markingham/ or rockingham. that was the best track.

Loved North Wilkesboro too!

Any Penske track, is a snoooozee.

They are going to fix this 10-20 mph closing speed with 2 cars drafts that is just dangerous.
Be interesting at Atlanta this year

Next year with fuel injection it will be a different snoooze fest
