The field is set.
Tony Stewart won the first Duel under caution and Matt Kenseth took the checkered in a caution-free second event to set the lineup for Sunday's Daytona 500.

Will the field get Smoke'd again?

I pumped gas at a Sinclair station in Cleveland when I was a teen. The guy who owned it ran an old 51 Ford flathead stock car, I learned a heckuva lot.
Yes, I think it was him. Could have been the wire.
BTW another thing mrs p6 asked that I couldn’t answer commpetently was that the drivers didn’t seem in a hurry to get out after the crash. She remembers the very little autocrossing I did when I always had an H harness with a D ring quick release.
Wow you can hear the rain in the trackside interviews!
Well that explains it Vex...
Sometimes after a whopper, you’re stunned or have the wind knocked out, so it takes a while to return to full operation. But if the car’s not on fire, probably best to wait for the emergency crew.
That is SO COOL!!
I got really nervous when that car went on it’s nose as the other car wedged under the fuel tank.
This is a pretty cynical comment, but the drivers know the camera is staying on the car probably until they start climbing out. Which means camera time for the sponsor.
So no hurry....
Hmmm...raining in Daytona, hailing here in Spanaway (WA).
Well, I guess if it ain’t on far’, there ain’t no hurry!
Nice jacket! Sorry about the loss of your friend.
Justin Algaier in the Nationwide race? Yeah he received a major “wedgie”. I met him and his Dad at the IMIS show here in Indy. Nicest folks to talk to.
Yes! Thank God the tank didn’t rupture! That was a butt clencher.
Anyone else think Trevor is doing a GREAT job commentating?
What the heck now it’s Stooges schtick. Not that I’m not a Stooge fan...nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Looks like even the loquacious Waltrip brothers had to take a break, and we go to replays of the week.
Bayne comes across as the guy you’d want your daughter to marry, even before he became a rich guy.
Okay...now on a replay of the Bud Shootout. Mike Joy says updater from NASCAR at 4pm Eastern.
Time for lunch: beanie weenies, LOL!
NASCAR yea right.
National Assimilation of Sissy Car Auto Racing.
And the winner of the race will be decided by a liberal panel of geeks who will decide who deserves to win the race.
Why not let Government Motors or Fiat build all the cars the same and let the UAW run the pits. Then wrap all the
drivers in bubble wrap and make a 3 foot comfort zone around the cars. Paint lanes on the track with brake lights and turn signals on the cars. And sense the sport has been
officially feminized, put makeup mirrors on the visors.
It should be NAPCSCAR.
Crunchy Baked Chicken, rice with gravy and veggies for us.
Beanie Weenies is camp food.
Y’know that wouldn’t surprise me...sadly.
Another thing I am ignorant of is that IIRC it used to be difficult to know if a car was on fire because it burned with an invisible flame. Maybe that’s diffnrentnow.
