July Daytona Weekend 2014
We're back to where we started, the Daytona International Speedway, for the always intense 4th of July weekend. When we left Daytona in February, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on cloud 9, with his Nationwide team scoring the win in the 300 with Regan Smith, and Jr. himself scoring his 2nd Daytona 500 win. Can Dale Jr. and his Nationwide team provide the same results this time around?
Both races consist of 44 entries.

Because what would a Daytona race weekend be without Daytona USA?

Nationwide now has 45 cars as Brendan Gaughan was added in his usual No. 62.

NASCAR Media or whoever accidentally left him off the list.

Turns out that the 33 Cup car is Brian Scott's rebuilt Talladega car.
Matt DiBenedetto may replace Jeffrey Earnhardt for the Nationwide race after Jeffrey broke his collarbone in a motorcycle accident earlier this week.

Big one in Nationwide Q involving about 10 cars. Caused by a sudden downpour on the track.

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
Introducing timed group qualifying was a great idea, but for the restrictor plate races, they should split the cars into two separate groups for the first round, like the cars that finished in odd-numbered spots in practice going together, and the evens in the other group. Or, do what CART used to do, and have the slowest half of the field from practice go out first, followed by the fastest half. Also, cut the first round down to 20 minutes, max.

I saw the thing on my facebook feed about the wreck in practice, and was about ready to rip NASCAR to shreds in concern about that, but after watching the video... wow. If anybody wants to question the crazy nature of rain showers in Florida during the summer, show them that video.

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
If there's a "best possible weekend" for a backmarker to take their maiden win, it's this one. Three potential first time winners, and a potential career-extender (as if he isn't extending his career by driving for backmarker teams) win for Boobie Laboobie.

No disrespect to Kasey Kahne and that finish but really? Another f***ing cuppie wins the nationwide Daytona race.

Derrike Cope 13th, Kyle almost outside of the top 20. BEST FINISH EVUR, even though it's a superspeedway, at least he didn't finished up front.

Tonight will be the last time that historic Radio Broadcaster Barney Hall will broadcast a NASCAR Race for MRN.

That was sudden.
Barney Hall has been working for MRN since the first race they ever broadcasted. I think this was overdue, but nevertheless it's going to be sad to see him go and hard to get used to anyone taking his place.

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
Looking at the radar... do they expect to run at all tonight?!?
Edit: I was also going to make a post about how this is why Talladega now runs in the Fall instead of the Summer, but I'm looking at the races at Daytona in the past...
1. The Daytona 500 had TWO rain shortened races before the Firecracker/Pepsi/Coke 250/400 had it's first rain shortened race (1965 and 1966 compared to 1996)
2. The 500 has had 4 rain shortened races to the 250/400's 1
So much for slamming on that

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
Last year's Coke Zero 400 is on. I can imagine if people were to congratulate Jimmie Johnson for winning tonight's race, but it was last year's, like the Daytona 500 earlier this year. That was hysterical.

Just tell Fox News that it's last year's race that is on, not this year's race, and we should be fine

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
I'm probably taking the words out of all of our mouths, but Goodyear needs to start making rain tires and bringing them to all of the races.

Anyone who gets in the grass tomorrow is going to completely rip their car apart since it will be so damn muddy.

Well, the 500 was essentially a Night Race. So the 400 is a day race, makes sense!

Well for years, the 400 was a race they started at 10am, just so the race could be completed before the afternoon thunderstorms hit.

Tires would never handle the heat and forces put on them. It would literally rip the tread from the tires. If you could invent a way to stop that, be my guest.

Some people have bad damage, and like I said, the grass is going to be the death of many cars. Harvick and Stewart helped confirm my suspicions of that one.

Re: July Daytona Weekend 2014
There's your stupid wreck for the day.
I don't know what was worse -- the wreck or the fact that our second guaranteed caution Michael Waltrip is still in the field.
EDIT: And now Landon Cassill is leading this race. This is just making my day.
