Mark Martins got to win the 500 being so close last year , shame he hasnt got a roush motor under the hood.He,s to good a driver not to have 1 to his list of race wins.

[ghostdancing]

Kyle won a race last year, so he's already in the All Star and won't run the Open.

Dang, I'd forgotten. How could I ?

He did win, at Bristol, then curse the car that won the race for him.
Think that was when Hendrick made his mind up to drop the kid.

[RaceFanStan]

I think Hendrick's mind was made-up well before Bristol.
Hendrick was on the bus with Dale Jr long before it was announced. :s

Just so you know ...
Only 3 drivers have won the Daytona 500 back to back :
Richard Petty 1973 & 1974
Cale Yarborough 1983 & 1984
Sterling Marlin 1994 & 1995
Not even 3-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon has won it back to back. http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/images/smilies/bomb.gif

you guys all seem to think it is really easy for the drivers to win, with all your calls, it only takes one stupid idiot to wreck in front of the drivers you have chosen & then it is all caos out there, & what if the drivers all have bad luck during the big races, it does happen?

it is a lottery in these races & anything has & will happen this year!

Payback is a biach?
