Just emailed this to the boss. ;)

[AGreatPer]

"on Monday night the first shot they played was him pushing Hamlin."

I agree. It is ironic that smoke made the complaint. Hamlin would not have won if it wasn't for that final shove.

I can see it now, "selective bumping". Some drivers get away with it, others don't.

[AGreatPer]

Maybe they could have a no bump zone.

[Dog Gone]

I think I'm going to take a half day of vacation today.

[SouthTexas]

Gold Star Mothers ping.

[SouthTexas]

Do we start an over/under on the drivers that have pre-approved "bump" clearance?

Of course, since Smoke brought it up, he would be first on the "exempt from the black flag" list.

[old_sage_says]

Thanks for the ping. Will be back when the race starts. The Duels should be very interesting to watch.

[budman_2001]

Thanks for the ping!

SpeedTV is on, my telecommuting message is posted, AND ITS SPRINKLING RAIN!

[steveegg]

You could have what I have; a couple inches of snow, then some freezing rain, then some thunder-sleet.

Of course, it's worse north and west of me; change the freezing rain and thunder-sleet to thundersnow in the 5-10" range.

[budman_2001]

You could have what I have;

Yeeech! Its a beautiful day here in the California sunshine near Sacramento......a little crisp following last week's "winter heat".

25 minutes to the lineup!

[flutters]

Hi WCG & all. I'm at work with no TNT. I'm listening on MRN. Happy racing - go #17!!!

[jmc813]

Does anyone know if the races will be re-broadcast this evening?

[flutters]

From nascar.com:

The first of two 150-mile qualifying races from Daytona is scheduled to get under way at 2:10 p.m. ET. However, it's raining at the track.

[flutters]

I don't see it on the schedule.

What I THINK is the final word on the field-fillers' ways to get into the Daytona 500 -

• The top-finishing 2 field-fillers in Duel 1 will start on the inside row between positions 3 and 39 in the order of finish among those two and the "2005 top-35" teams. The top-finishing 2 field-fillers in Duel 2 will start on the outside row between positions 4 and 38 in the order of finish among those two and the "2005 top-35 teams.
• In the Daytona 500 and can improve their position with a top 2 among field-fillers -
  Bill Elliott, #36 (#136 in your NASCAR.com program) - fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 187.715 mph, starts Duel 1 5th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will start 40th based on that speed.
  Travis Kvapil, #32 - 2nd-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 187.106, starts Duel 2 8th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will start either 40th or 41st depending on where Elliott starts.
  Hermie Sadler, #00 - 3rd-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 187.025, starts Duel 1 11th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will start between 40th and 42nd depending on where Elliott and Kvapil start.
  Terry Labonte, #96 - qualifying time was disallowed, but he is the most-recent Cup champ not locked in by either being on a "2005 top-35" team or by being fast enough in qualifying, will start Duel 1 30th and last. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will start 43rd and use the past champ's provisional.
• Can get in via either finish or via qualifying time -
  Robby Gordon, #7 - 4th-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 186.850, starts Duel 2 10th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will make the field on his time if one of the 4 drivers listed above (Elliott, Kvapil, Sadler, Labonte) do finish among the top 2 field-fillers in his respective Duel.
  Kevin Lepage, #61 - 5th-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 186.097, starts Duel 1 15th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will make the field on his time if two of the 5 drivers listed above (including Gordon) do finish aong the top 2 field-fillers in their respective Duels.
  Kirk Shelmerdine, #27 - 6th-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 185.361, will start Duel 2 16th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will make the field on his time if three of the 6 drivers listed above (including Lepage) do finish among the top 2 field-fillers in their respective Duels.
  Paul Menard, #15 (but using the #1 2005 points, so he's not guaranteed) - 7th-fastest qualifier among field-fillers at 185.334, will start Duel 1 17th. If he does not finish among the top 2 field-fillers in that Duel, he will make the field on his time if four of the 7 drivers listed above (including Sherlmerdine) do finish among the top 2 field-fillers in their respective Duels.
• Must finish among the top 2 field-fillers in Duel 1 or go home early -
  Larry Foyt, #50 - starts 19th
  Randy LaJoie, #64 (#34 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 21st
  Derrike Cope, #74 - starts 22nd
  Mike Skinner, #23 - starts 23rd
  Chad Chaffin, #92 - starts 25th
  Larry Gunselman, #52 (#152 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 26th
  Andy Belmont, #59 (#159 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 27th
• Must finish among the top 2 field-fillers in Duel 2 or go home early -
  Stanton Barrett, #95 (#195 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 17th
  Scott Wimmer, #4 - starts 18th
  Morgan Shepherd, #89 - starts 22nd
  Mike Wallace, #09 (#109 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 24th
  Chad Blount, #37 - starts 25th
  Kenny Wallace, #78 (#178 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 26th
  Scott Riggs, #10 (it's an Evernham team now, and he moved over the out-of-the-top-35 #91 owners' points) - starts 27th
  Carl Long, #80 (#180 in your NASCAR.com program) - starts 28th and last

That should cover it.

[flutters]

MRN said no sign of rain.

[steveegg]

We got you covered. Matt had a fast car yesterday; as long as nobody cuts his tire like Sunday,....

[steveegg]

Single digits for Saturday behind the snow/sleet/freezing rain. UNNNGGGHHH!!!!!!

We're live on TNT!

[steveegg]

It's looking wet, with some umbrellas open.

[flutters]

That should cover it.

LOL I still don't understand.
