    Big race this weekend. Who does anyone have? As much as I dislike the guy, I think Keselowski is going to take it this weekend. My boy Biffle has been struggling the last couple years so I can't count on him to come through.

    Menard and Truex Jr. looked real good in the shootout. If they look as good in the duels as they did in the shootout I would take one of them. But really anyone who is still on the lead lap in the last 10 laps has a chance.

    Keselowski and Lagano are the future of NASCAR, regardless if people like them or not. Those two can manage fuel and seem to fly by people. Newman is always finding ways to be pretty consistent. But, Gordon and Johnson are hard to beat when they are at the front, and they start 1 and 2. I know anyone can win if they're in the top 10 with a few laps to go since Daytona always gets crazy but my picks would be between Keselowski, Lagano, Newman, Gordon, or Johnson.

    I want to see the 88 in Victory Lane again this year, but it is Daytona and we won't know until the last lap. I do agree with you guys that the 2/22 are the future, but you are forgetting Larson in the 42. The kid is good and will hopefully contend.

    Tony would be my first pick second choice would be Kyle Busch cause he rubs people the wrong way...sorta like me...lol

    Like the biff even though his boss is a tool...

    And as much as I didn't used to like Carl the man has a heart of gold and I find myself pulling for him as well...

    How he's ok. I've always been against the Cup guys racing in other series.

    I'll bet Kyle, at a minimum... has a broken right ankle or leg.

    No Bush brothers for the first time in a long time. I wish I could say I feel bad for Kyle but I am a horrible person.

    Did you watch the same race I did? It was horrible nothing but lines of cars no lead changes unless there was a pit stop. No wrecks it was a waste of 4 hours.

    Race didn't seem that bad, last 10 laps seemed like anybodys. Im sure Gordon and Johnson didn't think they'd finish as far back as they did. Good win for Ford!

    Pretty much what it has become espeically the restrictor plate races. You can skip the first 190 laps and just watch the last 10. The first 190 mean very little to the final result. I've had my quota of NASCAR for the year now.

    Ditto....... super speedway racing with restrictor plates suck... I would rather see them take a little horse power away and lose the restrictor plates..

    Get rid of the restrictor plates put up that last stretch of safer barrier and see how fast they can go.
