I know probably half the people in here hate Jeff Gordon, but I think he's probably the best out there right now. Always has crazy finishes. The Daytona 500 kicked ass!!

Wow, I totally underestimated DEI and Hendrick after the poor showing they had last week.
I am not a big Gordon fan, but I really can't stand Jr. I was glad to see anyone but Jr. win.

Yeah, I'm with UMFan, anyone but Jr. is fine by me! And T-Bat, I was kinda feeling sorry for my St. Louis homeboy Rusty since he's done after this year and still never had a Daytona 500 under his belt, even though I'm not really a big fan of his.

I thought it was kinda' funny how the guys in the booth were talking about Tony Stewart after the race. "You run up front all day and don't have a scratch on your car, then after you cross the finish line you start beating the car up with someone else".
Good race. I was glad anyone but DEI won, not that I'm not a fan of DEI, but enough is enough. I would have been thrilled to see Scott Riggs win. He was running up front all day long.
I'm a huge fan of the underdog, or first time winners. I can't wait to see Kasey Kahne's first win.

Well, it was a good race. People may not Jeff Gordon but he had the flag at the end. Gotta give him respect.

my driver B.Labonte blows an engine before his tires even get hot,then leffler(#11) crashes so he cant even help out Stewart, like he was gonna be any help any way. Boy you talk about someone that wanted to throw the dam tv off the roof. on top of that my wife likes Jeff. i told her invite him over for dinner so i can cook him something that will run out of him faster then the car he drives. boogity boogity boogity lets go racing, MYASS. i got the feeling its gonna be a long yr.
