Daytona on Sunday morning

Under the lights turned out to be under the morning sun as Daytona was rained out last night and we are now on a slick Sunday morning racetrack.

We didn't make it to the competition caution without a wreck and Smoke summed it up nicely...

"We're a quarter of a lap from a competition caution and Stenhouse is going to be a hero," Stewart said.

And so 16 cars out front are done before we get started. Sad face- Jimmie is one of them...

Lap 98 was where we got the Big One... 



The 16 of Biffle got into the 5 of Kasey Kahne and it was on. He hooked the 22 of Logano, and in the chaos McMurray had 4 wheels in the air and Bowyer flirted with flipping over.

Both Danica's 10 and the 2 of Keselowski thread  the needle and survive with minimal to no damage.


Alex Bowman, Cole Whitt, pole-sitter David Gilliland, Justin Allgaier, Ryan Newman, Paul Menard, Josh Wise, Michael Annett, Ryan Truex, Bobby Labonte, Matt Kenseth, Landon Cassill,  Marcos Ambrose,  David Ragan, Denny Hamlin, Terry Labonte, Reed Sorenson and Michael McDowell all had a piece of the action.

Then when we think it is all over, Kyle Busch gets a slow motion roll on his lid...  

Bumper cars at 200 miles per hour.

48 laps to go and the red flag waved for rain with Aric Almorola leading, after passing Kurt Busch. After an hour of the Red Flag, with no end of ran in sight, NASCAR called it done and awarded the victory, Aric's first.

30 years after the 200th of Richard Petty... the 43 was in victory lane.
