heh, i like that Pan.

Hope the rain clears up.

They just showed a picture of Biffle with a fishing pole under a tent.  I'll switch back periodically to see if the race has started, but I'm done waiting.

I need an explanation as to why night racing didn't happen, pretty lame that the race was moved when there's lights.  It stopped raining in Daytona at like 6:15.  Even if they started at 8PM eastern and finished by midnight the ratings would have been like 5 times higher.

People who watch the 500 give nary a damn about any of that, the ratings still would be better than a 11AM Monday start. :sdeek:

they said it takes at least 2 hours to dry the track during the day....even longer once the sun sets. I don't think they wanted to risk having the biggest race of the year end after midnight EST.

Looks like tomorrow may be a wash too. Just shitty timing all the way around.

NASCAR wants engines to start at 7:02 p.m. That's the new plan.

Daytona under the lights. Hell yes.  :thumbs:

Thank God.  I wasn't looking forward to listening to it.  Are we confirmed on this?

Radar looks pretty good for night racing, hope weepers aren't an issue tonight for Danica's first win.

Alright, I want Johnson to win.

WW wants Gordon.

MIR is rooting for Danica.

This obviously means that we're looking at a Jeff Burton win.

I'm going Fantasy this year...i'll do horrible just because i'll go with Gordon at times i shouldn't.

Guessing Stewart or a Busch brother will pull it out tonight. Danica will wreck 1/3 of the way through. sorry MIR.

I'm 24 for life but if she's in contention at the end I will cheer for Danica until she gets the win.  WW's prediction for driver 7 is most likely.  Your prediction of a lame ass winner is almost a certainty.

curious how the weather will play out. It's been clear for the past hour and a half...which means they could have been racing here within the hour.  It's suppose to stay mainly dry, but there is a chance of a stray thunderstorm. If it stays clear until 7ish...and then rains a bit...that will be very frustrating.

NASCAR made the right call though and took a chance on primetime racing. Hope it works out.

I was told this thread is the "place to be" tonight. Will Kyle or Kurt Busch be racing? Danica!? I'll root for all of them.

Yes, though Kurt is already wrecked out.

Crash on lap 2. Elliot Sadler turned Jimmie Johnson into the wall... took out Kurt Busch, Danica, Trevor Bayne and others.
