Daytona Duels Race thread

[Johali]

LOL --- remember, they are in Florida. Temps in the 30s ARE extreme for them.
When it drops to 60, the women start wearing their fur coats.

YEP. It'll be 26 here tonight.

 

[Reck]

Regan got done dirty.

 

[ladyspartan16]

It's gonna be 12 with a -8 wind chill.

Give me 35 degrees and a lime-a-rita.

 

[Naitch]

Holy crap!

Ward Burton's kid speaks English!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Rooting for Jeb in this race

[JEB]

[JEB]

Rooting for Jeb in this race

Thanks man

I'm laughing.

It was 25 and overcast today with snow flurries and I went outside and said "Oh, it's a nice day out today"

That's speaks volumes about how ridiculous the weather is like up here.

 

[Naitch]

Not to stir anything up, but I'll never get used to seeing Austin drive the same stylized "3" as Dale Earnhardt.

 

[HoneyBadger]

So, who gets disqualified if Danica Patrick doesn't race her way into the Daytona 500?

 

[beantownkid10]

Not to stir anything up, but I'll never get used to seeing Ty drive the same stylized "3" as Dale Earnhardt.

Austin*

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

what's the hold up, start the second duel, it's past my bedtime already.

 

[Naitch]

Austin*

I was hoping no one would see it before the edit

I mean, Ty drives the same 3 in the Xfinity Series so my first mistake wasn't totally inaccurate.

I guess you could technically say Ty's car has two of those same 3s on his NSCS car. lol

No biggie.

Like x100

You mean, whose starting spot is Stewart-Haas going to buy?

 

[Naitch]

"Sam Hornish, great Indy 500 finisher, now racing stock cars."

Where the hell has Kenny been for most of the last decade?

 

[Johali]

I've got it DVR'd, I'll watch it tomorrow, gotta go.

 

[Kiante]

Oh my...

Larry, tire wear at a plate track does not make that great of a difference in 60 fvcking laps. He should know that better than anyone else.

 

[EI2IC]

Kes is a long way off from competing on Sunday

 

[Greg]

Waltrip has won 3 all star races, and races in Arca, K&N, Trucks, N'wide, and 4 Sprint cup races including Daytona and Talladega. Not fantastic, but better than some running ifull time in cup today.

Micheal Waltrips performance in the old Daytona Dash/ Goodies Dash/ International Sedan series is his most impressive performance. He was an animal in those old 4 cylinder 67 HP beastly cars.

Sir Michael won 8 of 33 races for a 24% winning percentage, and he was the 1983 champion.

how's that, Jr came from dead last..You think all of them were racing flat out..or trying to stay out of the big one.

Remember when the FOX announce team was the best announce team in NASCAR?

It's sad how much dumber Larry Mac and DW have gotten.

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

yeah, were going to get one of them this weekend for the night races.

 

[Reck]

What's taking so long to start the second dual?

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

they don't drive for HMS.

 

[beantownkid10]

Even though FS1 is saying otherwise. You can be pretty damn certain that the 4 more drivers that miss the 500 come from this duel.

Cause of the 8 drivers who finished outside the top 16 in that first duel:
Almirola
Kenseth
Keselowski
Bayne (via Edwards owner points)
(Are all locked in either via speed or owner points)

Allmendinger (13th in owner points) is a virtual lock.

That's debatable who's dumb here.

 

[ToyYoda]

I keep thinking Carl's car is sponsored by Combos with that paint scheme.

 

[Naz]

Michael Waltrip had glory days?

 

[Greg]

Holy crap!

Ward Burton's kid speaks English!

Makes me sad.

Will you stop? Do you work for Fox Sports?

Commentary across the board (MLB, NFL, NASCAR) has gone downhill at Fox.

Go back and watch a 2001-2004 race, DW and Larry Mac's analysis was so much better than what we get now. It's pretty clear that they're under pressure to push certain things.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I said in another discussion that I thought Johnson would go to the rear and stay there. We'll see if I was right.

Thanks for the info..I'll file it

 

[Kiante]

Danica will be fine.

She'll qualify.

 

[Greg]

The cold weather up north aint so bad. If it makes NY Yankee fans suffer, it is a wonderful thing.

 

[DSquad48]
