Default Daytona 500

Biffle is a coward. He made excuses as to why he couldn't get to Kenseth's bumper but he's full of shit. He SETTLED for 3rd. Easily could have got pushed past Kenseth by Dale Earnhardt Jr and won or at the worst got 2nd. Both Roush cars would have finished in the top 3 no matter what. A very lackluster finish. Still, Matt did a great job but I just disagree with what Biffle did. He didn't even try to win the race. Sad.

Yeah, got rained out yesterday and then was supposed to run at noon ET and it ended up being postponed til 7 PM ET and it got done past 1 AM ET.

Nope, not as exciting. They ran 160 laps then Montoya hit a Jet Dryer under the caution and caused a huge fire that made a red flag last for over 2 hours. The most interesting part of the race was Keselowski had his phone in his car and was tweeting pictures from the track on the back straightway INSIDE his car under red and got over 100K followers in 2 hours.

I'm not happy he got second. It's the super bowl of racing. I get pissed when he gets second and comes so close. Haha. But I thought the race was okay but the finish just wasn't exciting. NASCAR did a good job repairing the track for sure. At least they got all 200 laps in and the great fans of NASCAR stayed til 1 am to watch the race. Best fans in all of sports

What are you talking about? He did all he could to win that race. Sucks when then guy your trying to push doesn't want to win or even go for it. If Jr would have got out of line going down the back stretch and Biffle wouldn't have gone with him, he would have been screwed.

I thought it was a good race as well. I'm glad that Jr. is finally getting back in the game after a rough couple years, and way to go Roush Fenway! Got a feeling it's gonna be a good season.

Danica Patrick is the most overrated driver I've ever seen. She wrecked in 3 different races this past weekend and didn't even go 2 laps in the Daytona 500. Greg Biffle finally said in the special edition race hub that he couldn't catch Matt Kennseth coming off of turn 4. Dale Jr said the same thing. I was very impressed at how many laps they could go between pit stops after adding EFI to the new rule changes. They also shortened the spoiler height and now you can't bump a driver in the left rear without spinning them out. They basically fixed it up to where they can't run in tandem for very long due to the new cooling system. In the past they was doing good to get 35 laps in before having to refuel. Now they can go up to 53 laps before having to refuel an they also found out about how important fuel pressure is as well. That tri oval really caused some problems towards the end of the race. It went alot faster than I expected up until the jet dryer incedent. That pretty much took about 2.5 hours to clean and fix the track.
