Although let me be perfectly honest. I HATE the new Daytona 500 qualifying rules! They made so much more sense back when it was like this:Front row qualifiers are guaranteed a spot, the first 14/15 finishers in the qualifying races get a spot, fill out positions 30-36 with the fastest drivers who didn't finish well in the 125, then the provisionals. Everyone else goes home. No annoying transfer spots, or whoever is in the right place at the right time gets a spot, etc. :( 3.

It was the beginning of probably Kirk's best weekend running in Cup. Also, can I still have the $20 Joe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXR7b9k8UyQ (Second race coverage starts about 1:46:39 in) 10.

Anyhow, I hope the Daytona 500 doesn't have a rain delay for the 1st time since 2014 but we all know we finished that race and someone I'll bet gets in the HALL OF FAME MORE THAN LIKELy NEXT YEAR WON IT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
