I like what I'm hearing from Dale and DBC guys about returning the Clash to its original roots at Daytona.
Going back to pole winners, past champions, etc... Many fear that it will just be a wreck fest, but maybe NASCAR can figure out the rules package to help alleviate that.
I heard that and agree 100%. He's well respected...I hope NASCAR is listening.

Be fun to know how successful staging the Clash in LA worked out for NASCAR in gaining a new audience.
Southern California is such a tough market to crack with major league type of sports. Even the Chargers & Rams have trouble filling their new stadium with just "their" fans. Just so much to do outside in that area, that people don't want to sit in front of a TV for 4-5 hours each race, for an entire season.
Interesting though that SoCal has such a historic car culture.
At least NASCAR tried. Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't. We'll see what happens next.
The Fords are looking strong, grabbed the front row.
OTH, Chevy's are in trouble this year. With both Ford and Toyota getting improved facelifts, Chevy is stuck with the Camaro that is no longer being built.

Had to look up who got the pole. I just cant stay awake that late and get up at 4am to go to work.
FWIW...A driver in the pole position has gone on to win the Daytona 500 only seven times. Cale Yarborough in 1968 and 1984 and Bill Elliott in 1985 and 1987.
This weekends weather at Daytona is not looking good. Rain forecast for Saturday into Sunday.
One local station reported that the 500 start time has been delayed 30 minutes to 3pm Sunday. Some are reporting that NASCAR may delay until Monday at 4pm!

Keep fingers crossed that the weather clears out.
Xfinity moves to 11am Monday. Not looking good for tomorrow either. Cooler too. This might be a good thing though since the qualified and ran the 125s at night.
