Tomorrow NASCAR's Allstate Cup opens their official season, with Martin Truex jr on the pole and Mark Martin starting on the inside position.
Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman collided in the last practice run and had to move to the back of the field.
Should be fun, but I must admit, NASCAR lost a great sponsor when they dropped Winston from the Cup name...to me it is still the Winston Cup not the "Nextel/Alltel/Depends Cup"

I found myself watching old clips of the 500 on youtube today to get me in the mood.
Great times! -
Yeah, Dale Jarret passing Dale Earnhardt on the last 1/4 section of track is a favorite memory of mine.
Dale J retired, now all the new drivers have my loyalties divided..the new youg guys like Busch and Kenseth are not my sort of folks, and the formula 1 guys like Menard or Montoya have yet to make an impact..I'd like to see them do well this race.hammerbillsfan likes this. -
I could not agree with you more.

well that race sucked
they have to move it back to 12:30, starting it at 3:30 just wastes my time -
Big time. If they would have started it just an hour earlier they would have missed the rain and finished the race.:pity:hammerbillsfan likes this.

I liked this one, but the ending was poor they should move the start time back to 12:30 until the NFL season starts.hammerbillsfan likes this.

Yeah, the delaying the start to 3:30 EST probably prevented the race from going the full 500 mile distance. Had it started at say 2:00 EST, the reace likely would have been completed.hammerbillsfan likes this.

I always liked the race at 12:30, bright sunshine and you could watch it all afternoon and do things at night.
Daytona 500 should ALWAYS be a day race, they already have a night race (Coke Zero 400).
Nothing like the good ole days! -
Gordon had that race where he wanted it, if the rain didn't come it would have been a Hendricks sweep with Gordon, Martin and Johnson up front.

Matt Kenseth got the "Real" Lucky Dog on this race, sometimes luck counts just as much as skill.

I rather enjoyed the race, but I am a big Matt Kenseth fan. I do wish the race had finnished but after last year I'll take it. I think Matt would have been there at the end, he had a strong car all day.
