Truex Jr on pole for the Daytona 500. Good old Mark Martin will be on 2nd position. The rest of the grid will decided by the Duels. |

Their true names are Twins, not Duels.
I used to love the Twin 125s, the current qualifying rules though remove much of the drama from the event with only 2 spots meaning anything in each race. Last edited by Flyin Ryan; 9 Feb 2009 at 21:36. |

Looking forward to this. The Earnhardt-Ganassi machines have been fast! Were it not for a bobble in turn 4 for Juan, they'd have the front row sewn up. Mark Martin up there too.
Just need to find a stream somewhere... |

Fun times. Roll on Sunday.
Epic fail for Boris Said. Allmendinger, Mayfield and Riggs get into the race. Good to see Jeff Gordon in victory lane, been a long time. |

Tony Stewart in.
Ryan Newman punted off when in good position Stewart/Hass racing off to good start but you need a Hendrick engine on Sunday. |

Looks like Goodyear are in for a troubled year again!
Smoke is telling it like it is after both he and Newman have both got to take back-up cars after more trouble with their rubber! |

Stewart and Newman cars written off this morning.Back up cars need to be used.Mr Newman,two cars in two days,Question mark over tyres. .Smoke won Nationwide this afternoon but Kyle could have messed it up on last lap.Could have been big punch up if Smoke had have been punted into wall.

tony was all over the tire manufacturer. i just wonder, hes an owner now.
he isnt critical of the car. the car is hard to turn. in order turn, they doing something thats torturing the right- front tire. the accident will put tony and ryan together from the start. and this is a drafting and handling race. they new as teamates, but not new to each other on track. i think one of them will win. |

its no real disadvantage starting at the back, excpet for coverage, with a stout car and stout cars around you, you will pull up to the front soon any way. Just gotta avoid them wobbles

Wasn't such a big deal. Locked the rears on entry to his pitbox, it's out of the way now. He has a nice easy pitbox for the 500 itself.

Smoke looks like he is going to make an impression as a team owner. I would agree with the comment about the possible handling of the car, but Newman's problem was not a right front, but a right rear. |
