Didn't Danica said the same when she won the pole and finished 8th last year?
Doing good, or winning at a plate track doesn't tell me squat
Well, the real season starts at Phoenix.

True enough, but Hamlin has won at other tracks.
Considering some the rhetoric last year about his back injury, I'll give Denny a license to brag a little bit.

Finally some racing and passing at a plate track. I thought it was a good race. Lots of movement and guys have the confidence to try and pass the guy without getting left out every time. Excited for the 500

I thought that the end of the race was great.
I'm thinking that more than just a few UFC fans, tuning in to see a fight, saw a great finish to a NASCAR Cup race for the first time in their life.

Impressive how well the Penske cars side drafted to the front again and again. They were slow in practice.
Great racing, IMO.

Also true enough.
He seems to be back in full swing. A win for the finale and a win to start off.
He's back and will make a certain dude very mad this year. lol

It's not that serious
This is the best plate aero package they've had in a very long time. There will obviously be carnage but at least they can pass.

Kyle certainly is the man for saving cars at Daytona!
I've always been fond of this Jimmie quote - around 2:01

Considering I am not a race care driver....no....
Yes...but winning an exhibition race that half the field was taken out of doesn't exactly make you the second coming of Earnhardt....
Nobody suggested he was Earnhardt. He was simply the fastest car at the end of tonight's race.

I understand that...but again, I don't think winning this "answered any questions" there was about him...

He's a douche - I can't stand the guy's personality.
Well, there's always the opportunity to research things that you do not understand...> http://www.sbnation.com/nascar/2014...-denny-hamlin-season-preview-joe-gibbs-racing

I wonder if stewart ever found out "how our 10 car got caught up in it." LOL
Not to difficult to read between those lines.

What a great race to kick off the 2014 season. Lots of passing and bump drafting despite being only 9 cars for half of the race. Of course my favourite driver took half the field out Other then that, Hamlin definitely was quick when it mattered, even though BK blocked the field behind him for no reason.

I agree that it was a fun race but bump drafting seems to only hurt not help. These are the best drivers in the world, I hope they figure out the closing speed before the 500 or it could be ugly.

Good racing and Kyle made another good save. Racing should be good this season.

then again, Tony thought the whole thing was caused by blocking and Matt not getting the inch or 2 he needed.

I got the same impression from the 'sometimes you just need 2 or 3 inches' comment.

Yeah... and notice all of a sudden it's okay to block?
If it was Joey who came down on Matt then it would've been "Spoiled punk ass rich kid bla bla bla..."

I think Tony's blocking rule is you MUST block on RP tracks and NEVER block at 1.5's.
After that, it goes by the color of the cars involved.
A driver would need to keep a Tony Stewart rules calculator in the car to keep up with all his BS.

Would you have the same attitude if Jeff won? I think NOT
