Daytona Speedweeks Discussion 2011

interesting yourpix, some great thoughts there.....I am really high on Montoya these speedweeks, I already locked him in for the Shootout and the 500, the guy can drive plate tracks and isn't afraid to mix it up, plus we all know that the EGR cars are stout when it comes to plate tracks. The cars that sutck out to me during testing were all cheveys, plus the last time a Ford won the shootout was Dale Jarrett back in like 2005....Chevy has dominated the Shootout over the years, the only other make to have won in the 2000's was Pointiac (Stewart)....Who knows though, maybe its time for a Ford or Toyota to finally land in V lane.

Kasey Kahne   +2800

I feel like I should boycott the Shootout because the assholes in charge are now letting everybody run besides two of the drivers I cheer for -- AJ and Menard. Obviously, this won't happen because I'm a sucker for Nascar, and it's been a long offseason (though I am a Packer fan!)

It pains me that they've watered down this event so much. Now, pretty much everybody is invited. There is nothing uniquely interesting about the Shootout anymore.

Initial glances I like Hamlin, Biffle, McMurray.

Damn it Kurt, the 500 is where I needed this to come to fruition LOL

Good job keeping this forum up-to-date shooter. Wish I lived in Daytona you prick.

Annnnnnnndddddd. Dale Jr. gets wrecked in practice with Truex.

What I find funny about this is that both will have to start from the back row in their respective duel races. However, since Earnhardt put it on the pole and his position is "locked in", he can't advance his position in the duels. However, Truex will start the 500 respective of where he finishes in the duel.

Whhhhhaaaatttt????

I'm watching practice now. They just said that they rolled the backup #88 car off the trailer. The car had no engine installed, and much of it still needed assembly. It won't be ready to go during practice before the duel.

I know that they bring three cars to Daytona for this week (Shootout car, 500 car, 500 backup car), but wouldn't you think they'd have all three ready? And if not, wouldn't you get your backup car ready after your shootout car wrecked last Saturday?

Truex's situation is even weirder. Same thing, except he wasn't even in the shootout! His backup wasn't track-ready either. What the hell?

They probably want to use a certain engine.

you can put this one on Papa Rick.  No reason what so ever for Junior to even be out there

Almirola is going to a backup truck most likely, Kyle wrecked him 4 mins. into practice #1

I believe Junior goes to the back in the 500 as well regardless of where he finishes tomorrow

Yep. But Truex can improve his starting position because he didn't lock himself into the front row.

he does but Truex can start depending on his duel finish.  a glitch in the nascar system.  88 is penalized for getting the pole

 

exactly, dumb rule for sure....

In some series, particularly the Sprint Cup, there are additional practice sessions between qualifying and the race. Cars may be damaged in practice, or the team may discover other problems in practice. A car (regardless of damage) can be replaced with a backup car and remain qualified for the race, but the driver will be sent to the back of the field during the parade laps. Crews are allowed to repair a car, possibly avoiding being sent to the back, but some repairs (such as engine changes) will automatically incur the penalty. Official race records use the driver's qualifying position as his "starting position", rather than his actual position at the green flag. A separate statistical line may be included for drivers "sent to the back" and the reasons for those penalties.

[edit] Sprint Cup

JR is starting in the back... i saw his odds around 15-1 now.. could be very good value if he avoids the big one early
