Looking Ahead to Daytona

[Josh]

I have my concerns about the 92,75,68,61,49,42,and 09.

I'm almost 100% sure the #68 will be there...Carl has been working hard, from what I understand.

It might be an interesting entry list when it gets posted.  I would be curious to see if some or the larger teams loan cars to the smaller teams, and if so, how many cars are loaner cars.  I hope there aren't many start and parks but I'm worried there might be a lot, unfortunately.

[Rowdy]

Don't worry. Jim Smith will show up with a good 5 cars.

And at some point in the race, one of them will just ever so happen to spin and take out Brendan Gaughan. It'll be a complete accident, I swear.

I'd say that there will be a limited number of cars that will actually be in it to race.  Some teams will start and park as usual and then there will be others who only have one car that will be afraid to mix it up for fear of wrecking.  It should be interesting to see how it all shakes out.  We could all be wrong and there could be more than 43 cars show up and a good portion of them will be there to actually try to win.

I can't wait to see the 20 car lead draft and the 15 others you don't park run single file and stay well away from the pack.  I think the racing at Daytona next week will be less than exciting...nascar probably thought they had the perfect place to bring out a new car...obviously its too soon and its going to ruin the racing next week. 

[Rowdy]

The front of the field will be single-file for most of the race. They'll be in R&D mode trying to see how the car feels.

At least the cars will look pretty.

I can see Marty Reid now...

Lap 3- "Just to give you an update on the start and parks, 12 cars are in the garage already"

He won't have enough breath to mention all of them,so they'll just put up a graphic of all of them,just like they would in a big wreck.

[Justin02]

Haha Sadlerfan!!! But that's probably exactly what they will have to do.  Maybe qualifying next week should get rained out, that will save everybody an extra 2 laps of doing...nothing. Lol.

[Bhester]

I e-mailed someone who asked around in the garage, and the "only 32 entries" rumor isn't true, but expect a ton of start and parks.

Hey they may have to use that graphic because with so many teams parking, we could see the big one occur in the garage area

Pretty generous as you can tell. K-Automotive is working hard on getting their COT prepped, but something in me doubts they'll have two ready, and I just don't see Specialty making an attempt.

Don't be surprised if Chrissy Wallace is in the 04.
