2011 Daytona 500

[Eric Estes]

Pole Day Sunday: Will we be surprised?

Maybe a Childress or Stewart-Haas car? Or a go-or-go-homer?

 

[Linus Broström]

DALE EARNHARDT JR. on the POLE!! Jeff Gordon 2nd

 

[James Johnson]

[Ondrej Kapal]

[Ryan Callan]

ah

Dale Jr. will start from the back due to a practice crash with teammate Jimmie Johnson.

Stewart won the Nationwide series race yesterday for the 4th consecutive year, but his success in those cars has yet to result in a 500 victory.

Current favorite is Kevin Harvick, followed closely by Earhnhardt, Kyle Busch, and Stewart. It follows given the "2-pack" nature of the preliminary races that Harvick's teammate Jeff Burton will probably play a large role.

Longshot choices: JPM, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman

 

[Eric Estes]

So much for the favorite.

And if M. Waltrip is pushing you, you may want to find a different partner.

 

[James Johnson]

Getting down to crunch time and its getting crazy!

 

[James Johnson]

Final Laps from Last G/W/C.

That was a nice move to drop down out of his draft in front of Carl at the perfect time. Can't believe he pulled it off. Well done.

 

[Brian Duddy]

Great finish, but not much of a race, to be honest; way too many crashes. I actually like the aerodynamic stuff and "two-car racing" in general, people saw the Nationwide race, where there were huge gaps, and got way too anxious and aggressive...

 

[John Martin]

If the Wood Brothers don't become a force to be reckoned with again after this it would be a shame.

Yeah Cinderella is missing her slipper again.
