I dont understand why they dont have retainer tubes/cages around the halfshafts like monster trucks do around the driveshafts.
Rolex 24 at Daytona

I'm with the announcers. That doesn't need a penalty on Oliver. He allowed cars to pass and resumed a latter position. Having to make a complete stop is BS.
Did I make a rolex 24 collage last year? I can't remember.

The streamings decent. Don't know if I'll be able to watch this whole thing on here though but I'm going to try to make it lol I'm setting the dvr for 9am in case I fall asleep though
My friend Christian is now in the Daytona Paddock. He had to do flying lessons and missed the start of the race.

Better than what we've had of years late. I'm getting HDx1300 on my laptop. HORRIBLE sound though. Had to plug external speakers to my laptop and they're at 50%.

It's their audio, mine is just as bad, I can hear it but just barely. I may hook it up to external speakers as well and next time I get off the couch I'm going to put this feed on to my tv for a bit.
The 01 replaced their front brakes after 6 hours.
The 02 hasn't replaced any of their yet after 10 hours.
Chip's typical 2 strategy game?

btw the game show that speed is showing right now called "pumped!" is horrendous. They couldn't have picked a worse host. The guy is beyond annoying.

I love short track racing with all my heart
You're implying that Montoya uses a brake pedal.
That would explain the extra brake mileage.You're implying that Montoya uses a brake pedal.

Montoya's there to save brakes. If they do fail, he'll use his NASCAR strategy of using the other cars as his brake pedal!
Montoya out, no brake change. Will be 10.5 hours complete at next stop. Right side tire changer threw something from the suspension area- wasn't a brake pad...looked like a 1" diameter 6" long piece of aluminum rod.

Can't believe they have gone this long without a caution, especially with all the traffic out there. These announcers are doing a good job as well.
agreed 100%. Great work for only 1 camera.
There's our yellow to bunch em all up.
I don't understand why they don't just push the cars instead of putting them on the hook
bout damn time the 02 got some brakes
"a lap of fuel" WTF is that rule? Let them pack the damn cell if they want to
edit- now I understand. He was using the "I'm out of fuel" rule to pit early.

I wish they would have left that tower cam on until 9am instead of these on board cameras.
I just woke up to pick up the speed program.
Look like a 2 dog race now
Kinda had to expect that to happen. It's too long of a race to keep the packs up the whole way through.
How are some of these guys -280 laps but still not out? Just keeping on running it in case everybody in front of them crashes and burns?

True enough to what Andy said: "When Ganassi needs to make time up, they'll throw Pablo in the car" .....He's got it back up to 6th after the shifter change.

Ya it does but there is so much time left so you never know.
Last year we had 3 cars on the lead lap all together.
On the overall results, -280/still running can still finish ahead of a DNF. Yea at this point there's only 170 laps left or so (the whole race is usually 768 or so) so its moot....
these "tronix country" commercials just scream "SCAM".

Ya I definitely agree but there are people out there who will believe the commercial and fall for the scam and be taken advantage of.
Sounds like Dario aint happy
Ryan Daziel just raced his way back on the lead lap. Looks like Ford will be the powerplant to beat. And to think they're in fuel conservation mode!

Holy ****, did you see those big chunks of rubber they took out of the car?
StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing
Team Owner
With the caution coming out it's going to get real interesting now.
that was ALOT of rubber.
Probably helped encourage them to throw this yellow. Go clean that track up a bit.
that ganassi guy was really biting his tongue...
We're all used to nascar-goodyears that flake and embed into the track to make the grove. But they have one direction (LTR) that they design the tires around.
Road racing tires have to handle both directions obviously, so the rubber comes off in little rolls or balls that cant embed into the track.
