LMAO

He's just pacing himself... Letting the other drivers think they have a chance..

So the 3 car took the pole huh?



Yeah that's shady.

You got that right, GloryDayz.

It is JimiJo...And then everyone else...

It's the WWNASCAR....

Starting to seem that way.

NASCAR can sure write a good script!

The more scripts you write, the better you will become. :D

Get up! Throw some water on your face! Scary crash at Daytona - Car landing on top of another car and flipping on its lid. Usual suspects...

Today, first practice cut short:



Second practice, today at 6:30 ET.

Which Busch caused that one?

That entertains me.... :D

ROFL



Doesn't take a true fan to figure that one out.

:clap::deevee:

stonestooge: Heh! o:-)

Everybody has somebody at work they want to do that to..

LOL...


Do not forget:

THURSDAY, FEB. 20:
-- 7 p.m. ET, Budweiser Duels (60 laps, 150 miles each race), FOX Sports 1 (Follow live)

horse and pony show is on FOX1 - First twin race is about to go green

Hello!

We're racing in Daytona!

says, DW

Bet the Austin Dillon car is all cheated up! :D

frigging cheating bastages

Just got home. Who cheated, and who's on my "hate" list?

Hey GloryDayz!

DW will not shut up even though he has not raced in 100 years. IN ADDITION, he has never raced in the new racecars...Although, he knows all about them. That is all. :D

Money is on Danny Hamilton for the second race.

Heh

Kenseth wins first one.

Oh boy, this should be a hoot - most of the hot-heads are in this race.

He ran a good race -

Harvick's racecar failed inspection - He came in second behind Kenseth in the first race.

LMAO

Gotcha... Hate him now...

The rocket was cool!

rocket was awesome

OK, these guys are flying... And leaving JJ out to dry! LOL, JJ's gonna get mad!

Pulling for Kyle Larson - Love to see him win NASCAR Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year. Unfortunately, he is up against Austin Dillon and the 29 cars painted over to #3.

This is Kyle's first time racing at Daytona.

JimiJo is already in the race this Sunday - Race is no big deal for the 48.

NASCAR is using a bigger plate this year.

And I think the #2 just showed us the domino effect.

JamieMac is good at Daytona

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!

Jimmie's car is on fire...

Who flipped up in the air?

Hope Mikey is okay

Just give Danny Hamilton the win! No one is going to beat him -

how many cars are left?

Oooops!

Dumbasses.

Wow that was Bowyer's car in the air...Glad he landed on his wheels.

Cars were getting nailed left and right - hard hits

Wanna know what I just figgered out???? I had backed it up a bit to show my son the rocket... I thought Dylan was psychic!

LOL

"Hey, since you're not dead, get that transponder over the line there for me buddy!!"

Crazy but who didn't see that coming.

Bowers took a fun ride :D

Like Denny...

knew he would win this race.

where's my cookie?

I think Denny had the only car standing...

Is Hamlin the guy from Missouri?

The guy?

I think Florida...could be wrong, though

JJ runs out of gas and boom crash bang.

According to Wikipedia:

JJ didn't run out of gas, he got clipped?

Because he ran out of gas.

Knaus probably figured the fuel out to make the car lighter at the end, but miscalculated it.

okay, missed that part.

Is it just me or is McMurray getting gayer every year? And that is coming from someone from Joplin.

NTTIAWWT

My brother dated his older sister in HS.

Maybe I'm thinking of Jamie McMurray, is he the guy that bought the car from Johnny Dare, that's the only reason I ask.

Pretty much...LMAO j.k.

Cool that your brother dated Jamie's sister...:D

I get the whole :light" thing, but to cut it that close seems crazy (unless they thought they'd finish with 2-3 gallons but THAT happened). It seems like in the kind of racing they're doing, draft is everything, the weight of a gallon of insurance would be worth it.

That gallon of gas just cost them a kinda expensive race car!

I don't know if Knaus did that - If he did, it was pretty close - One lap off.

Knaus is a brilliant CC.

Indeed. But a brilliant CC with one less car now.

OK, now I'm just being a dick to one of the brilliant minds in NASCAR!

Jimmie will have a great backup car for Sunday's race. No big deal for them.

Just my opinion.

Agreed...

Yeah, i was about to say, he's one of the if not the best to ever do it. wtf. lol

Wake up!

Live: Daytona Nationwide race, ESPN

Who's who of Cup drivers in today's race

Open the window - get some air, turn on the TeeVee

4 to go after this caution

This is not going to end well.

Edit: Regan Smith wins Nationwide race in Daytona - narrowly beat Brad Keselowski


http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/sa...21446532015199

According to NASCAR.com:
Smith nearly fell jumping off car to get checkered flag. lol

LMAO just heard that National Anthem from earlier today. So awesome.

I did not hear it but it sure made national news.

Forbes: Most valuable NASCAR teams

Thirty years ago Rick Hendrick launched All-Star Racing with five employees and 5,000 square feet of workspace. Geoff Bodine raced the fledgling outfit’s sole Nascar Cup entry in the No. 5 car and finished ninth in the season long standings, including three victories. The company was rebranded Hendrick Motorsports the following year and a racing dynasty was born.

Hendrick Motorsports today carries more than 500 employees in 430,000 square feet of workspace across a 140 acre campus in Concord, N.C. It has racked up 218 victories and a record 11 season titles in Sprint Cup, plus an additional 52 wins and four championships in the Nationwide and Truck series. The success has propelled Hendrick to the top of the Nascar food chain. The team is worth $348 million, by Forbes’ count, twice as much as any other Nascar squad.

The value of a Nascar team is largely tied up in its sponsorship commitments. “Without sponsor money, there is no Nascar,” says one racing insider. No one can match Hendrick when it comes to sponsor dollars, which topped $100 million last year. Sponsors are attracted to star drivers that run in the front of the pack and get their paint schemes heavy TV air time. Hendrick has star power in spades with Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. All four made the Chase in 2013 and rank among the sport’s 10 highest-earning drivers. Earnhardt, Gordon and Johnson are the sport’s three biggest merchandise sellers on Fanatics.com, the largest online retailer of licensed sports merchandise.

In addition to having Nascar’s highest winnings, merchandise and sponsorship revenue, Hendrick’s value gets a boost from its massive engine-building operation. Hendrick’s full-time engine program includes 11 Sprint Cup, five Nationwide and two Truck series teams in 2014. The success of HMS drivers entices more Nascar teams to buy their engines from Hendrick. It added Chip Ganassi Racing’s two Cup teams to the program in 2013.

Despite Hendrick’s dominance, it has not been immune to Nascar’s struggles to sell car sponsorships. This is the second straight year the sport’s biggest star, Earnhardt, will go to Daytona with 13 races left to sell on the No. 88 car. “It is not a good sign, but Rick Hendrick is trying to protect his price structure,” says Zak Brown, founder and head of JMI, which sells and manages motorsports sponsorships. The No. 88 is the most expensive real estate in Nascar with paint schemes costing at least $750,000 per race.
