Jr is on the pole for tonight's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona, coverage starts at 7PM Eastern on NBC .... with his history at Daytona, he has to be the favorite .... my girl starts 10th, the second highest starting position for AHR drivers .... she's really been doing well for the last few races

The question is ....... Where are those two going to finish?

The question is ....... Where are those two going to finish?

at Daytona, much usually depends on who gets caught in the wrecks and who doesn't

 

[JEBar]

GREEN FLAG ....

oh well, lap 55 and Jr is still on the track but a blown tire has pretty well ended his chances of winning

 

[JEBar]

red flag with 6 laps to go .... there have been several hard hits tonight

congrats to the 17 team .... they earned the checker .... its not a good sign when Paul Menard is the highest finishing Chevy driver

Danica ran good all day .... bounced from top 10 - 15 back to 20 - 25 and then back up front .... typical for Daytona racing where lines of vehicles move forward and back several times a lap .... she was running 10th with 6 laps to go when a wreck she had nothing to do with starting took her out .... yet another race where her finish doesn't reflect just how well she ran all day

Thanks for the report on Danica. I was unable to watch the 3rd segment.

as restrictor plate races go, it was a good one .... there is no doubt in my mind that the newest generation of drivers is moving in .... from that standpoint, the sport has a very competitive future
