GoChiefs, Eli Gold said the 2 car looked as strong as any today.
Dale Jr. was on the radio show at the mall. It was very cool, he closes the week of shows as the last guest every year now. His dad always did the mall radio show and Jr. was on with him and carries on the tradition. The host said Martin had guaranteed the media that Jr will break out of the slump. Jr had great things to say about Mark racing him in the Busch series AC Delco and Winn Dixie cars. Jr said Mark helps everybody, Kenseth, Logano, Carmichael, Montoya, anybody who asks. ...Jr said Mark is a great ambassador for motorsports.
In today's race, he said he brushed the wall in turn 2, and the crew took him to the tail fixing it. He was pissed the eff off on the scanner! They thought it was nothing, but the caution 10 laps later was a blessing because his tires were chunked and a fender was rubbing. He could have been on the tail in a back up car instead of the front row. Thats when he decided to just stay back and run with the underdogs. He went by Norm Benning, and commented "Thats a cool paint scheme on the 57". It is black with a silver roof and numbers, like his dad's car. I like Dale Jr.
Stewart and Kahne had a great finish.
Jr is a blast to listen to on the radio, but, should come with a Rating of "R", b/c kids should NOT listen to him on a scanner!!!! LOL.

I believe it's last years owner points. Not driver points.

^^ this is correct. Also, one must consider previous winners. Tony Stewart is in this race because he is a previous winner at Daytona, even though his #4 had no owner's points last year...

Jr's car seems to be set-up to run better back in dirty air, looks like soon as his nose hits clean air, he pushes to much and cant drive it.

More bad luck for Jr.

Story of his life.

Now someone get on here and say how overrated he is b/c he cant finish a race.

Top 3 car all day, only to be taken out on someone else's bad judgement.

It's the NATIONWIDE series..if he can't be in the Top 5 in the NATIONWIDE series..you know..the MINOR leagues..then he has no business racing with the big boys anyways. You'll see tomorrow exactly how over-rated he is. ;) Oh wait..we seen that last year didn't we? :D
