As soon as next year, the Daytona 500 will have a local start time of 5:00pm. This will allow the race to finish in prime time, that's at night!

Running at the Daytona were:
20 Chevrolets
14 Dodges
9 Fords

From 2007-2011, Sirius picks up the NASCAR satellite broadcast, taking it away from XM.

Fantasy standings... (don't hate me Herc)
Hercman scored 551pts, 551 total(31%)
Kurt Busch - 170
Dale Jr - 165
Kevin Harvick - 79
Micheal Waltrip - 52
John Andretti - 70

GTP Motorsports scored 668pts, 668 total (91%)
Jeff Gordon - 180
Kasey Kahne - 97
Elliot Sadler - 130
Joe Nemechek - 124
Carl Edwards - 127

Herc had a good team, just ran into a bit of bad luck when 3/5 drivers had problems.
I ended up with some good luck when I only lost 1 driver to a wreck.

When I heard the break down, I thought "wow, Ford has the lowest number of cars in the Daytona?"

Salary cap... lol
