Some of the worse racing at Daytona in years. Looks like the train is back. Sigh.

10 , there was an incredible amount of passing and lead swapping . I thought Kenseth had it in the bag , Junior went from the back to the front several times , Smoke was as good as I have seen him in a long time , Ambrose , Biffle, Edwards ,Logano all had good runs. Harvick's pit stop was incredible and he refused to give the lead back.Don't know what more you could want in a race.

I believe that's the key. Nobody knows what others want as each individual expects something slightly different. Don't beat yourself up over it as all that really matters (I think) is that you enjoyed the race, correct?

It was a strange race for sure. I expected them to be more cautious in the early laps and then see some good racing at the end, but it was the other way around. It sure wasn't pack racing, but what was it? It raced a lot like a typical 1.5 but had a little more excitement.

Loved that Dale Jr was up in the front for a while and Harvick breaking the car.
I was saying you couldn't do a burnout with the Gen6 car

Road courses and short tracks.
The best I'll ever give a plate race is an 8. Knock off a point for the segments gimmick and I wind up with a 7.

I don't have a number but I wasn't a big fan of last night's race. A lot of that probably had to do with my driver not putting on much of a show. The rest of it was a lack of lead changes. That's one of the things that I've always liked @ Daytona & Talladega and we sure didn't see that last night. Another thing that probably played a factor in my view of the race was nascar.com's inability to provide the service that I pad for, the scanner audio. I've grown accustomed to that over the years and that was missed list night.

I was hoping to see more position changing.
There was a 500 some years ago where during every lap positions were changed constantly. Jr. and Montoya were moving through the field together many times seemingly at will. There was an ebb and flow to the action. There was a group who sat back, Edwards was one of them and when he made his move I felt he was not used to the flow of the race because he hadn't been working with the field and caused the big one.

That's the race that led to Harvick trashing Edwards on TV, Edwards writing him a nasty letter, Harvick posting the letter on the net and then this.........

Harvick was really pissed about that cause he didn't have enough time to get his helmet on.

That finish doesn't count. There was a melee at the end he was involved in, yes?

He finished on the lead lap. He had to have crossed the S/F line ahead of four other cars.

But he was in the scrum.
I think it was 2011 the last time he finished without a bang up.

Whatever year Jr pushed him to Victory at Talladega. Best finish ever, 3 wide 2 cars deep crossing the finish line. But hey, the 2 car tango was horrible right....

No, I don't. I recall that it was full of F bombs and real nasty, which blew Carls carefully crafted nice guy image right out of the water. This is what really set Carl off.

Wasnt that the year Carl stayed in the back until the end and then when he finally got up front caused the big wreck? He deserved to get criticized, shouldve took it like a man...

I can still picture Carl pushing the left rear of Biffles car going into the turn. Biffle ended up in Kenseths door and 11 cars got torn up. At the time, Carl and Greg were 1 and 2 in the points.

"I almost forgot the most hilarious part of this whole Carl Edwards- Kevin Harvick saga.
The love note.
OK, so it wasn’t really a love note, but it did have the word in it. According to the Charlotte Observer, whose reporters saw a photo of this note, after Talladega, Carl Edwards gave a note to Kevin Harvick’s pilot.
Kevin,
Thanks for (expletive) me on TV. I was really trying to screw up everyone’s day.
Love, Carl"

I'll give it an 8. Pretty good race; both lines were able to compete with each other for the most part except for a while in the 3rd segment.
I don't expect the 500 to be as good, though. The 500 is longer, which means more time to cruise around instead of trying to race to the front. And last years Shootout was good; not the single line of cars that the 500 ended up being.
