Man, it's gonna be great to see what drivers and teams make headway, which ones fade, and which ones break through before Jimmie Johnson just lays them all to waste in the chase again this year.

Well, looks like the Busch Series is looking a lot more like the Cup Series for the Restrictor plates - two cars = fast, large draft = not so fast... Definitely has broken up the big packs......

Watching here at the office. 2 car drafts are definitely the way to go.

Yea - NASCAR will like the finish, I'm still not a big fan of the 2 car deal -- but I've never been a big fan of the restrictor plate tracks -- I prefer the short tracks -- intermediate tracks aren't too bad --

Will be interesting to see how tomorrow goes.....

It will be 10 years since Dale Earnhardt was killed. I was watching that race when he wrecked. I haven't watched a NASCAR race since then. I may start watching again.

I have an interesting link to the #3 -- My first trip to Daytona 1998 was Dale's only Daytona win; my first (and only trip) to Talladega 2000 was Dale's last win, and my last trip to Daytona 2001, was the race in which Dale died.

I'm still a die hard Mark Martin fan -- and regardless of all the "tweaks" by the governing body, I really love this series -- of course being originally from Arkansas, I'm sure there is some genetic rung in my DNA (I assume there are rungs in your DNA) that makes me a circle track fan.

Sorry for the diatribe -- but let the 2011 NASCAR season commence!

One day I will attend the Nascar race in Daytona and do the whole week of racing.
This year I'll be attending the race in Las Vegas.

Go Harvick! #29

It's ironic that with the new point system you can earn 48 points total. Guess who's number is 48?

They should have given 5 bp's for the win so you could earn a maximum 50 points.
