This is going to be where Junior turns it around. Results haven't really shown it, but he has been strong the last few races. He just about had Talladega. He has always had Daytona figured out. The place is going to go nuts!!!

I sure hope rain doesn't screw this race. We've had way to much of that this year.

Hendrick is a runaway train this year too, but what is it with Dodge at Daytona? Penske dominated the 500 last year, RPM this year

My picks:
1. Dale Jr
2. Mark Martin
3. Kurt Busch (never Kyle, in case you need clarification)

Bowyer hangs on for first Daytona win, boost for RCR

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- With cars spinning wildly behind him in Turn 4, Clint Bowyer claimed his first Nationwide Series victory of the season and the seventh of his career in Friday night's Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona International Speedway.

Bowyer also delivered the first victory of the season for beleaguered Richard Childress Racing, which has suffered cutbacks from Chevrolet in the wake of General Motors' reorganization under bankruptcy.

i'm bringing my laptop with me today, so wherever i happen to be when the race is on, i will have racebuddy available, as well as the in-car audio (from tony's car, of course!). i found this yesterday too: http://ads.nascar.com/html.ng/site=n...&domId=275062#

it is tony's in-car camera and apparently also has his audio feed. i'm imagining this will be the only week it will be available, since it is sponsored by burger king and this is the only race this season in which he is running the BK paint scheme. but cool nonetheless. and if all else fails, there's always racebuddy! i remember last year thinking the thought of it was dumb - until i used it for the first time! it's awesome, i love having all those cameras available. you never miss a thing! space - racebuddy plus MRN's broadcast is probably better than being there!! at least you don't have to sit in 6 hours of traffic when it's over

brent - did you catch any of the NW race last night? that 04 car, i forget what happened, but he wrecked and was limping along back to the pits, and *BOOM* all of a sudden the car just went up in flames! it was a scary scary sight, since the car wasn't stopped and he had to get it stopped and get himself unbuckled and removed from his hans harness. it was very scary to watch but i was very glad he was ok!!

I missed the whole thing and I feel really stupid about it. I was home, but was screwing around with the car guessing game all night and forgot the race was on. Be safely assured I won't miss any action tonight. Thanks for the Pony BK link - I'll have to check that out.

Thanks `Jamie for the link for `Tony...I love in car camera's the best....Race Buddy has one, but the member's pick what car that it will be in, but I'm so happy to be able to watch the Race and have a puter that can handle the live action.
I think it's going to be a great race, and Tony is going to be hard to beat the way that he's been running... He has the talent/car/team....Now, if he has Rac'in Luck....he might win again, but I am hoping 2 see Little E, in the winner's circle.
Tony has tooooooo much $ Money already WoW.
I really like Joey, the kid thats younger then me by two years, and he's going to be a NASCAR Sprint Champ in his future...He needs 2 teach Kyle how 2 behave : )
I still like Carl Edwards, but he's sure hav'in a bad year...,
he should be in a Chevy : ) Thanks again...Stay awake 2night `Brent & hope that you are feeling all better....4-Sure
