Nope qualifying for the twin 125's this Thursday.The 500 is next Sunday.
The only way I can watch is by dvr anymore.If I had to sit through an entire race plus the commercials I would literally go nutz!
Depends on what else is on. With plate races the first 130 laps are usually free of drama. Drivers just riding around.Nope qualifying for the twin 125's this Thursday.The 500 is next Sunday.

Thanks Teehar, looks like next Sunday I have an all day date in front of the tube.
Should I bring the salsa and chips?
Next Sunday weather wise will probably be a much nicer day,today would have been a perfect day to park in front of the tube,22F and windy brrrr.Probably be 60f next Sunday.

Did an install in the Piney Flats area on Friday. They had a full home theater in the basement that seats 9 people. Plush reclining chairs, sloped floor, acoustic ceiling, etc, etc,....maybe we could talk them into throwing a satellite guys Daytona party.
Yes today was cold, so was yesterday. At least I didn't have work today other than jumping through the wife's hoops.
Some of the comments about Danica made me laugh. Dale Jr . and Tony Stewart both congratulated her and then pointed out that when you qualify it's 95 percent car . I would love her to win the race on Sunday because it would prove she will have a good run this year but, I don't believe it will happen.
Not really, typically the Daytona winner does Not have a Great year.
Can't remember the last time the 500 winner won it all .... been awhile.
Sent from my Samsung Epic using SatelliteGuys
I might go as far as to say,winning a race would be an Awesome year for her.Getting a top 10 or two would imo still be a great achievement.
I thought Jimmie Johnston won the Championship the same year he won the Daytona 500.
Oh a programming FYI
For those folks who have a series timer set for NASCAR Racing....something is goofy for the 500
When the Unlimited showed up in the guide I set a series timer for Nascar on Fox. The Unlimited set the timer fine. The qualifying yesterday worked (timer automatically set). Phoenix in 2 weeks is set (timer showed up today). The 500 does not automatically set. I guess because it says "2013 Daytona 500" whereas the others say "Nascar Racing" as the title

this is what jayski says
GREEN = are locked in the Daytona 500 field, either by winning the pole, outside pole, four by speed, six by owners points/provisionals and one past champion provisional if needed
GREEN = are locked in the Daytona 500 field, either by winning the pole, outside pole, four by speed, six by owners points/provisionals and one past champion provisional if needed
Here ya go...the rules
Daytona 500 Lineup
" The two fastest qualifiers set starting positions one and two.
" The highest 15 finishers in each Duel race excluding the already locked-in front row will earn a spot in the Daytona 500, and fill positions 3-32.
" Based on their finishing position in the first Duel race, the top 15 will line up on the inside row (odd-number starting positions).
" Based on their finishing position in the second Duel race, the top 15 will line up on the outside row (even-number starting positions).
" Positions 33-36 will go to the four fastest cars from qualifying that have not already earned a spot.
" Position 37-42 will be provisional positions, and go to the highest six cars in 2012 owner points that have not already qualified via the Duel or Coors Light Pole qualifying.
" The 43rd starting position will be assigned to any car owner who has the most recent eligible past NASCAR Sprint Cup champion who did not make the field by any other method, providing the driver had competed in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. If the 43rd position remains unused it will be assigned to the next highest car in 2012 owner points not already locked into the field.

so using those rules and looking a little more here are the reasons for the GREEN ones
Danica and Gordon...front row
Bayne, Stewart, Newman, Kahne....fastest 4
Stenhouse (7th), Bowyer (2nd), Jimmy (3rd), Brad (1st), Biffle (5th) and Hamlin (6th) are for owners points...4th is Kahne who already made it on speed
Kurt Busch...most recent past champion who isnt already noted above
