I've heard that Joe will be trying to race..Not so sure about Conway.

I'm curious about this too.  He ran both cars last night, and Extenze was on both cars last night, so maybe Kevin Conway is bringing real money and will run the Cup race to help Joe Nemechek with this stupid drafting format.  Or maybe running both cars last night means Joe Nemechek will park Kevin Conway tonight to pay for last night.  Joe Nemechek usually runs the plate races so I am expecting him to go the distance.

I heard tell that Conway will park his car so that Nemechek can race.

That's what happened last time at Talladega. You would think though that ExtenZe would jump on the #87 instead of the #97 for added exposure if this is the case... maybe they can't afford it though.

Eztenze may not be paying for this race..It might be one of those things since they are Kevin's sponsor they are on the car,kind of as a favor.

Robby Gordon is running the #7 tonight, said on twitter he needs a drafting partner.

Does that mean he's not going to S&P?

[OnlyZ]

Well that didn't take long.

Congratulations David Ragan!

Wild FInsh! Congrats David Ragan!

Hard hard hard hit for Juan!

And what was Kurt Busch, Brian Vickers and afew others thinking racing back to the finsh when the caution was out. Vickers going wayyy too quick down pit road, and Kurt racing thru the huge pileup!

There was someone other than Matt Kenseth pushing David Ragan to the win. What he's had to go through after Daytona, and after everything that's been said about him throughout his career and the amount of times he's been written off, I can't think of anyone who deserved that more than he did, and at Daytona no less. God is Great.

I watched the last two GWCs in glorious 120p on my phone, so I've got some work to do. I'll post the rest of my impressions later. Also, just a thought, this race might as well be called the Coke Zero to Hero 400.

NASCAR didn't throw the caution until after the checkered flag, so maybe they didn't know the caution was out.

On an unrelated note, I love how they did the commercials alongside the racing.  The IRL does that and I think it's brilliant.  The commercials can still be seen, and the audio is from the commercials, so the advertisers still get their fix while we get ours.  And a break from listening to some commentators is not always a bad thing.

Other impressions:

- Hate to see guys like Mears and Cassill run in the Top 10 all night only to get junked at the end. Especially tough for Cassill considering that he was rallying towards the finish before he got into Ambrose. Considering the Druckerian process at Phoenix Racing, I'd be a bit worried.

- It seems like the cars are coming back into packs as the drivers get more and more used to having to push each other, at least at Daytona where there's not a lot of racetrack to make moves as opposed to Talladega. I'm warming up to the product, but I still think it's unnecessarily dangerous.

- What were Busch and Gilliland doing barreling into that wreck at full speed and almost clobbering Ryan Newman? I expect those sort of catastrophic HOW DO I BRAKE accidents out of ARCA. They should be ashamed of themselves. That was almost a serious accident.

How long have I waited for this day... er, night!
 
Those accidents are one of the reasons I dislike RP racing though.
