Elliot's spot is not guaranteed as are any positions outside of the top 2. The remaining duels will set the rest of the field FYI. Still really cool. Bill Elliot has always been my favorite driver.

Yeah, I heard that. He's a Titans fan though, so I don't think he was being negative. Just pointing it out.

Glad were back racing....problem is Casey Mears is driving the Jack car and Clint's in the cheerios car. When Gibbs switched to toyota I had no choice but to jump off the stewart bandwagon(I'm not cheering for a toyota). So I went with the Jack car and to that point Clint had never won a race and was the underdog. Has this ever happend to you guys yet

Would you go with the driver wherever he went? Or stick with the car no matter who was driving it?

Yes......The only set position right now are 1 and 2. Stewart and Bill already raced their way in. Thursday the other 41 drivers will race for the position they will start the race. Love me some Daytona.

I started watching NASCAR in 1999 and pulled for Martin because he drove a Ford and was sponsored by Valvoline. As harsh as those years were I also stuck with him through the Viagra sponsorship. But being the diehard Ford man I am I still stuck by him when he went to Chevrolet, but started to pull for Carl Edwards on the side. Now that Martin is winding down his career, Carl is my main man, but if it came down to a race between Martin and Edwards, Mark would get the most cheers from me.
