Yes sir, I believe so. I'm an Allgaier fan, but he sure seems to get shite luck when he has a good car.

Yeah, I don't recall him being anything other than an unfortunate victim in this race.

Amazing they didn't throw the caution.
And I say that as it was the correct call.

Damn, Austin Hill is a stud here.
ETA: Allgaier still managed a top 10 finish.

Announcer almost called Creed as the winner. Quickly corrected himself.

Two finishes that were about as meh as possible. Cup you can argue the caution was thrown too soon. Xfinity, call it personal, I don’t like Hill. Punchable face.

Bubba in the top 5 after all that.

Yeah, I fell asleep watching the Xfinity race with somewhere around 20 to go, I think. Woke up and Hill was being interviewed. Looks like Jordan Anderson’s team had a good night with two cars in the top 5.

2 things.
1) This race bore out, once again, why, unlike everyone else who follows the sport, I detest "plate" or pack racing. Drive around waiting on the the wreck. Then the winner comes from the driver who doesn't have the best car, they're just the luckiest.
2) The guy who triggers "the big one" shouldn't be rewarded with the race victory...
You're not wrong.

@FoxTV got 6.0 million viewers for Monday's re-scheduled Daytona 500.
The last rain-impacted Daytona 500 in 2021 got 4.83 million viewers but that race finished Sunday night.
The last time there was a Monday finish was 2020 when Trump came; that got 7.33 million viewers.

February 21, 2024 at 4:25 PM NASCAR is taking a “much deeper dive” into the fuel-saving strategy Cup teams employed during Monday’s Daytona 500, which saw drivers racing at close to half-throttle at some points.
Elton Sawyer, senior vice president of competition for NASCAR, made the comments Tuesday morning on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “Ultimately, we want to drop the green flag on the race and they’re racing as hard as they can until they drop the checkered flag,” Sawyer said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “There’s some strategy in between there, and we will definitely take a much deeper drive into this particular situation and the strategy that goes into it.” — NBC Sports —

Who the frick is Elton Sawyer to tell anyone how to run their race?
Posted on 2/22/24 at 7:34 am to FightinTigersDammit
I took it as they will evaluate how to make it better and not have the fuel saving be the bulk of the race. I can't imagine they will use data to regulate throttle usage.
You can't make fuel saving illegal. NASCAR does not need overregulation.

They could cut the fuel tank size. But that would mean more pit stops and they cut pit crew size to save teams money.
If someone can stay in pack and use less throttle (fuel) how can they say it’s a problem? Its strategy. Every race has strategy. Nascar could fix SS races to not have pack racing but won’t.

How bout eliminate stage breaks. I read that was a suggestion.

Byron about to go back to back in 2024.

Derek Kraus will run a limited schedule in the Kaulig 16.
Kid has not shown much to warrant the cup ride. Must bring a check!
How before Kaulig sticks Daniel Dye in the 16 for a race?

NASCAR expects two international Cup races, return to Southern California in 2025

NASCAR expects two international Cup races, return to Southern California in 2025
The Cup Series could expand across the continent next year
It seems more likely than not that the NASCAR Cup Series will feature races both in Canada and Mexico next season while also remaining in the coveted Southern California market in some capacity.
NASCAR came close to inking a deal to race in Montreal, Quebec at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve this summer but just couldn’t get a deal across the figurative finish line before the deadline. Instead, that date went to NASCAR-owned Iowa Speedway, a inaugural event that series officials insist was always in the pipeline anyway.
The Truck Series previously raced at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, more commonly known as Mosport, in Bowmanville, Ontario. That could be an attractive option for series officials as well.
Meanwhile, NASCAR just completed a three-year run of hosting the Busch Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That event became even more important this year because nearby two-mile Auto Club Speedway in Fontana is being partially demolished with the sanctioning body planning to reconfigure it into a half-mile short track and selling off the remainder of its valuable property.
It’s expected that NASCAR will pursue taking the Clash to Mexico in 2025.
Without getting into specifics, NASCAR president Steve Phelps appeared on the Daytona 500 pre-race show on Monday and teased two international Cup Series races for next season.
“I have nothing to announce today, but I would be surprised next year from the 2025 schedule if we didn’t go north of the border and we didn’t go south of the border,” Phelps said.
He also anticipates the series remaining in Southern California in some capacity.
“The southern California market is extremely important to NASCAR, in fact, it’s the second most popular market we have right next to New York. Racing in southern California, we’re not gonna miss a year,” Phelps said. “And then I think the other piece too because we are committed there, where Auto Club Speedway is out in Fontana, we kept a 100-acre parcel, to build a track there.”
It’s extremely unlikely that the renovated Fontana will be ready for next season. The nearby half-mile short track in Irwindale isn’t likely to host such an event either.
