Daytona 2024 Pre-Race Thread

[wi_racefan]

Can someone explain why the drivers are holding their arm up?

Trying to block air from getting into the car

Definitely looks like Toyota isn't concerned about starting on the front row

If they’d swap Clint with LarryMac, Fox would have an all time top-tier booth.

Now if they can fix the cameras, the zoom out buttons on said cameras, the direction, the graphics, the pre-race show and basically everything else…

Lol Bowman

Lol. Harvick explaining a mistake and Bowyer trying to explain it wasn’t a mistake.

Spoiler alert, it was.

The dumbest record in NASCAR finally ends

Still a great run for Herbst

In a Rick Ware car no less.

Hearing Clint talk about going into a Love's and seeing the "Daytona 500 Champion Michael McDowell" stuff everywhere reminds me of when I went into a Love's the week after that race - I think it was the following weekend. I said to the cashier "The Love's car won the Daytona 500! How cool is that?" And she goes "Yeah, it's pretty cool I guess. I figured we would have at least gotten a piece of cake of something . . . but we haven't gotten anything."

I think she's right - they should have at least gotten a piece of cake.

Guess I just expected more out of Toyota showing up with a new body. We'll see how they race tomorrow night

McDowell and Burton is a surprise for me.

A wood brothers car fast at daytona isn't a shock

Wild, Jimmie Johnson has to race his way into the 500. I know he’s part time now but actually expected a tad more from Toyota as a whole

 

[StandOnIt]

I wonder if Nemechek is being sent home.

With the driver they have behind the wheel, them being fast anywhere is a surprise imo but maybe I’m not paying enough attention

All you're doing is asking him not to screw it up. Hold it wide open and keep it on the line

I'm not shocked. I'm surprised...wait until round 2.

What a beautiful shot of the moon

 

[Rick]

Let's see how those rice burners handle in the duels tomorrow before we get too worried.

 

[antman12]

Whoa. Mcdowell

 

[superchuck500]

Good run from McDriver

 

[Speedbowl14]

Toyota sucks and McDowell pole... let me see it!!

 

[nascarwoman]

Ford front row.

 

[antman12]

22 Bang bang!!

shout out to Mcdowell too!

 

[wi_racefan]

Good run from McDriver

Didn't they switch to a Penske alliance this year? Would explain a lot

I'm liking the Toyota fud in here. Bottom out sentiment then sideline the doubters when it matters.

 

[StandOnIt]

Wow. The new Fords kept their speed on the Super Speedways.

That is much better than crying in your beer. I think they are too slow though.

And now the quick exit for Fox Sports coverage of basketball.

This week doesn’t feel special at all anymore.

That’s what happens when you run Atlanta SS 2x & have the Clash at a different track other than Daytona.

Fox didn’t give a **** about Daytona Speedweeks when the Clash was at Daytona.

They haven’t cared since SPEED became FS1.

I don’t think there’s been a care in the NASCAR world since 2016, maybe 2013-2014.

I must've went on a ripper and left a mark at some point... Just cheese puffs tonight. That Nasty Beast scheme had me giggling though.

 

[racingfan7]

Good to see Logano get the pole.

 

[StandOnIt]

1st one ever

Right around the time SPEED disappeared.

The RTA wanting to cut costs to the point that Daytona becomes just another race doesn’t help.

Do Daytona 500 Pole Qualifying and ARCA on the Saturday before, or even Super Bowl Sunday and aim to be done by 4pm. (Can be done, Fox drew 1.77 million viewers for the Caitlin Clark Experience on Sunday up against CBS Super Biwl pregame coverage).

The Clash doesn’t need to go back to Daytona. And the RTA will stand against it.
