Um.........isn't qualifying on today, the 13th, instead of yesterday, the 12th?
 
I said it last year and I'll say it again this year...In the interest of killing two annoying pests with the same shot; I wish Digger would become lodged in Larry McReynolds' neck...

Yeah, he's just an annoying little troll.
I see the rear ends of these cars still seem to be in towards the left, instead of the usual "****ed out to the right".
Wonder what the deal is.

10 year anniversary of Sr's death, so I guess Jr will bet a bigger restrictor plate this year:rolleyes:

8 of the top 10 spots are ECR, or Hendrick power.
The ghost graphic showed JR holding a better line around the track.
It'll probably be the highlight of his year, let him have a moment in the sun, without the BS comments.

That's how plate cars are. On the cookie-cutter, 1.5 tracks they yaw the car out to the right to get some downforce on the rear spoiler. On the superspeedway, because of the fact that they are turning left and they are trying to get the best top speed aero out of the car, they tuck the right rear in a little more to try to keep the right rear quarter out of the air.

That's what I said to my wife..... They're finally using some video game technology.

I'll have to pay alittle more attention, i've never picked up on that before this year.
My thoughts on it were more air on the left rear would help the car turn (as in loose) thus less wheel input, making more speed.

Doesn't start until the second race of the season.

From Jayski.....

The New Qualifying Procedures for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, starting at Phoenix:
Qualifying order set by LAST practice speeds, slowest to fastest.
Non-Top 35 drivers grouped together at end of session.
Starting grid set by practice speeds if qualifying canceled.
Starting lineup set by owners points of all practices and qualifying are canceled.

For those of you confused on how Daytona Qualifying works, watch this video from the 2009 race. It explains how the whole thing works with the twin races and so on.

Or...From Jayski's:

Qualifying Procedure for the Gatorade Duel/Daytona 500
Pole Day: This “locks in” the first two positions – the front row – for the Daytona 500. It also establishes the starting orders for the Gatorade Duel at Daytona, which are two 150-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500.

The fastest car earns the pole for the Daytona 500 AND the pole for the first Gatorade Duel race.
The second-fastest car earns the outside pole for the Daytona 500 AND the pole for the second Gatorade Duel race.
The Gatorade Duel at Daytona: These two 150-mile qualifying races set positions 3-39 for the Daytona 500.

A combined total of 66 cars will be allowed into the two Gatorade Duel races.
Cars must compete in one of the Gatorade Duel races, in order to race in the Daytona 500.
Odd-number finishers in the final car owner point standings from last season (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) are in the first Gatorade Duel race.
Even-number finishers in the final car owner point standings from last season (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) are in the second Gatorade Duel race.
Additional qualified cars that weren’t in the final top 35 in last season's owners points are alternated between the two Gatorade Duel fields using an odd-even format.

Setting the Daytona 500 field:
Cars that finished in the top 35 in last seasons final owner point standings automatically make the Daytona 500 field.
The top two starting positions are determined by Pole Day qualifying speeds.
Positions 3-39 are determined by finishing orders in the Gatorade Duel races.
The final four spots in the 43-car field will be based on Pole Day qualifying speeds of cars that have not already earned a starting position. However, if there is an eligible Sprint Cup Series past champion entered who has not already qualified, that past champion will receive the 43rd and final position. If there is more than one past champion eligible for this berth, it goes to the most recent champion.

another way to look at it:

The following cars will be assigned to the first of the two qualifying races:

The odd-number positions (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) of the highest-ranked 35 finishers in the final previous NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car owner points standings.

The pole winner from Pole Day Qualifying. Should the pole winner be among the highest-ranked 35 in the previous season owner points, the pole winner will start in the first race regardless of his odd or even position in those standings. The following cars will be assigned to the second of the two qualifying races:

The even-number positions (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) of the highest-ranked 35 finishers in the final previous season NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car owner points standings.

The second-fastest qualifier from qualifying. Should this car be among the highest-ranked 35 in the previous season owner points, it will start in the second race regardless of its odd or even position in those standings. Additional cars that were not among the highest-ranked 35 in the final previous season car owner points will be alternated between the first and second 150-mile qualifying events using an odd-even format. The odd-number positions will be assigned to the first qualifier while the even-number positions will be assigned to the second qualifier.

The odd-even positions are not determined by where the car qualified in the overall field, but their specific qualifying order among those cars not part of the highest-ranked 35 group. For example, a car qualifies eighth overall in qualifying, but ranks third-fastest among those cars not part of the highest-ranked 35. That car would be an odd-number position and start in the first race as a result of its qualifying standing of those cars not in the highest-ranked 35.

The lineup for each qualifying race will be set based upon the qualifying speeds in the time trials for all cars, including those who are among the highest-ranked 35 in the final previous season car owner point standings. The highest-ranked 35 designation does not determine the car’s starting position, only the assignment of its 150-mile qualifying event.

A maximum of 66 cars will be permitted to compete between the two qualifying races, and all cars must compete in one of these events to be eligible for the Daytona 500.

Starting positions for the Daytona 500 will be designated for the highest-ranked 35 positions from the final previous season car owner point standings from each qualifier, the two-highest finishing cars in each qualifier not among that highest-ranked 35 group and the two front-row qualifiers.

The balance of the 43-car field will be filled by the fastest remaining qualifiers who have not earned a starting position, with the exception of the 43rd position which will be assigned to an eligible former or current Sprint Cup Series champion. Should there not be an eligible champion, the position will be assigned to the next fastest qualifier not in the field.

The simple version: how the Daytona 500 lineup is set:

Pos 1 and 2: Pole sitter and outside pole sitter from qualifying
[no need to be top 35 in previous season car Owners Points]

Pos 3 thru 39: top 35 in previous season car owners points and two highest finishing teams in each Gatorade Duel races race NOT in the top 35 set by their finishing postion in the Gatorade Duel races.

Pos 40-42: fastest qualifiers not in by above

Pos 43: past champion provisional - at this point only. Otherwise the spot goes to the next fastest qualifier.

The Gatorade Duel races:

The Daytona 500 pole-sitter will start on the pole of the first Gatorade Duel at Daytona. The outside pole winner will start on the pole of the second qualifying race.

Cars that finished in odd positions (first, third, fifth, etc.) in owner's points last season will fill the first qualifying race, and those with even-number finishes will compete in the second race. The lineup for each qualifying race will be set based on the qualifying speeds. Owner's points do not determine the car's starting position, only which of the two Duel races in which it will race.

Cars that were not among the highest-ranked 35 in the previous season will be alternately entered into the two 150-mile qualifying events based on qualifying speeds. The non-top 35 car with the fastest qualifying time is entered into the first (odd) Duel race, the next-fastest in the second (even) race and so on.

Nice find there. It just goes to show you that if it takes more than a minute to explain it..... well, they need to come up with a new idea. After-all, a few short weeks ago we were all to inept at figuring out the old points system, right? :rolleyes:
 
Why do you people always have a problem with new graphics things they use the ghost car is awesome. It shows you differences that you wouldn't see other wise.

I thought it was a great addition this year. It's one thing to be told the difference between two different runs but it can now be seen. You could easily see where time was made up between two different runs.

I enjoyed it to. ESPN and ABC used to use this for the Indianapolis 500 wondered why the NASCAR networks never used it.
