The Daytona 500 (Pre-Race)

[donthaveanickname]

46 trucks will be qualifying... Holy mother.

Great to see Joe Nemechek on the entry list.
No getting my hopes up, though. He likely has to qualify on speed and if he does, he'll get caught up in a wreck again.

Speedweeks really isn't the same with FS1. Used to be you turn on SPEED and get around the clock Daytona coverage. Now, you get some Daytona coverage sandwiched between talk shows and basketbore.

This is nowhere near the amount of coverage we used to get. The Daytona 500 is just another race now.

Really? I don't think so.

I assume with it just being one round of qualifying (instead of the top-12 going out again), time was changed last week to 7:30pm ET for Cup qualifying.

7 or 730 for quals? I’ve seen 7 but drivers posting 730

Does Kaulig have a charter ?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Suarez’s scheme is pretty sweet

 

[Efisher131]

Was everyone drunk when they approved that Kroger scheme? Omg

 

[jws926]

Jeebus, 177mph for Gase, that is slow.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Cody Ware a whole 2.5 seconds off Stenhouse. Nicccceee

 

[AdoubleU24]

Pole times were in the 46's the last 2 years. Not sure if that's still the mark or if the cars are gonna be slower tonight, so far they're off that number quite a bit.

Not yet.

 

[CodeMan125]

Not yet.

I thought so. I figured they were trying to pick up a charter

They have 40 less HP than last year I believe

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I think we all saw that coming

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Alright Bubba!

 

[aunty dive]

I thought Danica was driving the 23.

 

[AdoubleU24]

That'll do it

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

That 52 might have ran the worst lap in qualifying history right there

 

[JBone88]

Thank god Rick Ware and his 4 turd monsters are locked into the 500!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Well the FaceBook fans will be happy

 

[AdoubleU24]

Lol Gordon calling the 1st to 2nd shift

 

[aunty dive]

Conspiracy theory # 1 has failed.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Suraez’s speed is looking more and more impressive

 

[aunty dive]

# 2 bites the dust.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

“Spun” from the lead is a interesting choice of words to describe what happened to Aric

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What a lap from Bowman

 

[HoneyBadger]

They should call Daytona 500 Qualifying "Hendrick Motorsports Front Row Qualifying."

 

[Pat]

Bowman!!!

 

[JBone88]

Bowman has a rocket ship holy ****

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Bowman the Showman is the pole sitter for the Daytona 500 in 2021!

 

[JBone88]

Showman gonna get that 48 back in victory lane this year me thinks

 

[Nitro Dude]

48 48 48 48 48 48

 

[jws926]

Just like death and taxes, HMS is on the pole for the 500

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Totally missed quals

 

[aunty dive]

48 48 48 48 48 48

Congratulations.

Will you have a celebratory snack?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Good lord those HMS cars were bottoming out.
