[Leadfoot530]

Now whadaya do? Stay out, or come in for four fresh tires?

 

[RACECAR]

No 500 for Bayne this year. Car just lost it.

No 500 for Bayne this year. Car just lost it.

I think he's pretty safe, doesn't he have Edwards' owner points?

 

[nascarfan1400]

Welp... Bayne held on pretty well... if he gets back out there and the big one happens... Theres another 500 for bayne

 

[The Bman]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Ever since Trevor Bayne won the 500 back in 2011, his luck has been flat-out rotten.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Oh hello, butterflies. Welcome back to my stomach

 

[cnd01]

Damn Trevor...come on dude you can still avoid the massacre that's about to happen and finish like 12th lol

 

[RACECAR]

I think he's pretty safe, doesn't he have Edwards' owner points?

I don't recall him having the owner points from the 99. I think he has to race to get in.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I say we'll see one more wreck involving two cars before this race is over.

 

[Jahgee]

I don't recall him having the owner points from the 99. I think he has to race to get in.

Why wouldn't he? There's no 99 this year, and the 16 & 17 have their own points from last year, it would be foolish for Roush not to use the 99's points

 

[Furinkazen]

GWC's I wonder?

Dillon gone.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I feel like all hell is about to break loose. You ain't seen nothing yet.

From Jayski.

Drivers Locked into the Daytona 500: Thirteen drivers are locked into the Daytona 500: #24-Gordon (pole), #48-Johnson (outside pole), #43-Almirola (speed, any round 202.340), #17-Stenhouse Jr. (speed), #19-Edwards (speed), #1-McMurray (speed), #4-Harvick (2014 owners points, 1st), #31-Newman (points, 2nd), #11-Hamlin (points, 3rd), #22-Logano (points, 4th), #2-Keselowski (points, 5th), #20-Kenseth (points 7th) and #14-Stewart (past champion provisional).

Next ten fastest after the four locked in by speed are: #55-Waltrip, #18-Busch, #3-Dillon, #5-Kahne, #33-Ty Dillon, #20-Kenseth, #78-Truex Jr., #83-Sauter, #23-Yeley and #9-Hornish Jr.
Next ten highest owners points positions (not locked in by speed) after the six locked in by 2014 points are: #6-Bayne (using #99 owners points from 2014), #88-Earnhardt Jr., #18-Busch, #47-Allmendinger, #16-Biffle, #41-Busch, #5-Kahne, #42-Larson, #15-Bowyer, #3-Dillon and #27-Menard

Other drivers besides Stewart who could use the champions provisional NOT already locked into the race would be: #41-Busch and #32-Labonte. All other past champs are locked in.
Six drivers have to race into the field or fall back on speed as their team is not high enough in 2014 owners points to use a provisional: #21-Blaney, #46-Annett, #44-Sorenson, #29-Marks, #34-Ragan (team swapped owners points with #35 team) and #30-Hornaday.

Four drivers will not be able to use speed to get into the race: #66-Wallace, #30-Hornaday, #11-Hamlin (speed disallowed in qualifying) and #88-Earnhardt Jr. (speed disallowed in qualifying).

 

[Furinkazen]

TY Dillon in, WOW Logano.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Jr Wins!

Horseface Out??

 

[cnd01]

Looks like Marks, Hornaday, Sauter, and Mears are probably headed home from this one

 

[Gerarghini]

Jr Wins!

Horseface Out??

Doesn't Keselowski have the last season's position provisional or something?

 

[Northstar]

Jr. Wins.

Conspiracy time!!!!!!

 

[The Bman]

Harvick and Stewart finished inside of the top 10, so Keselowski is still in.

Bummer

 

[Leadfoot530]

Gordon wins pole, Jr wins Duel, Johnson most likely wins Dual.

Kahne confirmed 500 win.

 

[ukfan758]

Jr!!!!!!!

 

[cnd01]

We have to remember that only 3 from this dual and 2 from the other dual are out. I would assume that Marks and Hornaday are the only 2 definitely out from this one. It's going to be how tomorrow goes to know who else probably won't make it

 

[RACECAR]

Doesn't Keselowski have the last season's position provisional or something?

He does have the Past Champions provisional so it wouldn't matter.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Aight boys. Take a breath, then rack em up and let em fly again!

 

[Leadfoot530]

Can we just put Ty in the #3 yet? Ty > Austin.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Can we just put Ty in the #3 yet? Ty > Austin.

You could not be more correct.

 

[cnd01]

Confirmed Marks and Hornaday out. Looks like Bayne and Sauter are on the bubble. with Mears not in the clear yet

 

[Jahgee]

Ty is a toned down level of brod:censored:e compared to Austin

 

[Blitz24]

Wonder what would happen if Danica missed it.
