I like who won, but not real sure about "how" he won.

I just wish the 10 car stayed where he was at and they just could have raced it out.

Pretty good day for Bubba (2nd), Buescher (5th), Menard (6th) and McDowell (9th).

Almirola ended up 11th.

I didn't like the way it went down at first, being a Ford enthusiast and all.

But later I felt differently. If the Camaro was faster you got to let him by. This is a really close one, but like someone said, "block at your own risk".

Kind of nostalgic to see the the 3 and 43 car up front again.

seeing the 43 on a Chevy is going to take some getting used to .. .. it was good to see cars able to pass on a restrictor plate track

[Slide Action]

Yeah. It would have been much better if Dillon would have raced him clean.

At that stage of the race they better make sure they are clear when they through a block. No one is going to back out of it and if you aren't going fast enough you just get run over.

today's race at Atlanta is under a rain delay ... looking at the weather radar, things don't look good

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Yeah, hope they can get it going, but a rain delay only means a better Pre-Race Show.

And so far, it's been pretty good.

I loved the clip they played of Tony.

latest projected start time : 3:30 pm Eastern

Green Flag .... Newman is off to a great start .... hope they get the complete race in .... projecting 10 or more pit stops .... with the reduction in the number of the over the wall pit crew, it should be interesting

[JEBar]

certainly not a thrill a minute but a very solid performance by Harvick and SHR .... 36 cars in the starting field, I wonder if that is going to hold throughout the season

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

It sure was. Great win by Harvick, finally again at that track.

The Daytona 500, with Austin Dillon scoring a dramatic victory in the iconic No. 3 and newcomer Darrell Wallace Jr. crossing the line second in Richard Petty's celebrated No. 43, was the highest rated and most-viewed FOX telecast of any kind since the NFC Championship Game in January, and remains the most-watched motor sports event on television.

There was sure some great hype from the very beginning and it sure had an interesting finish as mentioned. All in all, It was one of the best I've ever seen. I believe the 2 Hour Raceday Show before the Pre-Race Show also contributed to the great event that it turned out to be.

Atlanta was also a good race, with one of, if not the best Prayer given before the race that I have ever witnessed. It was also great of Mother Nature. She gave us a longer Pre-Race and no rain till the race was over.

Pre-Race at 3. In about 5 minutes, lol.

[JEBar]

GREEN FLAG .... 37 car field .... looks like a great day in Vegas

[JEBar]

congrats to the 4 team .... dominating performance

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Yeah, Harvick is on a mission, lol.

Another good day for Paul Menard now driving for the Wood Bros at a 9th Place finish.

He is also presently 9th in the Points as well.
