Furniture Row Racing (78-Nemecheck, 87-K. Wallace) had a hell of a showing in the 150s after qualifying well due to their Hendrick-built powerplants.
Kudos to Andretti and his owner, Bob Jenkins as well, for their last minute dash into the Daytona 500 in race 2. Was the MWR parade really necessary to assure DJ a starting spot? Apparently.
Tissot final thought of the blog: I'm feelin' for Boris Said and Patrick Carpentier right now!
I used to have a lot of respect for Michael. But to hear him tell Dale J. that he had his back covered and that no one would get around him in the 2nd race, just about did it for me. Not only did the best car (Michael Waltrip) not win the 2nd race, but by being a "team driver" he let a lesser car win the race and kept a better car out of the
Daytona 500 by protecting Dale Jarrett. What has happened to NASCAR? Does anyone think that any of the "real" drivers would let that happen? What would Dale Earnhardt, Davy Allison, Richard Petty, et.al say? I guarantee they would all say that if Dale Jarrett wasn't good enough or didn't have a good enough car, he should sit out the 500. Man, not only do the cars all look the same now, the drivers all say and act the same. Looks like somebody cloned a whole bunch of Jeff Gordons.
