The field is set.

Tony Stewart won the first Duel under caution and Matt Kenseth took the checkered in a caution-free second event to set the lineup for Sunday's Daytona 500.

Who will ride a lucky airstream to Victory Lane on Sunday?

Will the field get Smoke'd again?

[NormsRevenge]

apologies for the Danica freeakers.. They’ll nod off soon enough.. they’re both way up past their bedtimes.. ;-)

[eyedigress]

Those guys go home at 3:00PM

[Slambat]

They just wasn’t ready for something like this. Using bondo
to repair a race track wont work. Its brittle. Watch close someone is going to slip and bust their a$$.

[Roccus]

Isn’t that Jones in the “Silent Sam”?

[NormsRevenge]

They could have started a new class of vehicle competition.. no bump drafting tho.. sure make it easier to get your pull-out windshields off

[Eye of Unk]

Hopefully someone will get on the ball and have on hand from now on at any major race an airport type fire truck, something designed to handle jet fuel fires.

Foam might have made a bigger mess but it would have knocked the fire on its bum. I think the track is toasted, pun intended.

That was last year and it worked great

[ColdOne]

LOL that would be prutty!

Re: Bondo.

They’ve done it before... only needs to hold for an hour or less. No sweat.

[nascarnation]

I’m amazed, but these guys are certainly acting like it’s gonna resume.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Is Tide still a sponsor since DW and Ricky Rudd retired?

[Wneighbor]

That was just plain funny.

“IIRC, USAC regulated them out of competition......the piston powered engines couldn’t match ‘em so they had to go.”

Same with the HIMI.

[NormsRevenge]

ServiceMaster has it under control.

[nascarnation]

Yes, good old Andy Granatelli. Still alive - 88 yrs old.

[NormsRevenge]

Not sure,, I think Ricky Craven had them too..

a nice plug , all those big boxes

[NYTexan]

All I want ta know is: WTF was a Jet dryer doin’ on the track with a drunk latino run’n loose?

[Roccus]

Hulman wanted no part of them and his word was law on USAC.

[NormsRevenge]

They’re in the spin and rinse cycle.. maybe the newer surface holds up better to a fire like this.. or they were using cheap jet fuel..

[hoagy62]

Mike Helton seems to think we’ll be resuming racing soon. I’m confident.
