who's gonna win Daytona?

[CADreamin]

Say what you want about Junior, but last year he led:

1369 miles (1st in WC)
59 times (1st in WC)
22 different races (tied with Ryan Newman for 1st in WC)
1068 laps (1st in WC)

Also finished 12th is the points, a system set up to put consistency over wins.

And this was with the lingering effects of the concussion...

He's certainly cocky. But whiny? No more so than any other Cup driver when things don't go their way. Guys ***** about spoiler height and angle from the beginning of Sppedweeks on, or who was the idiot driver who wrecked them. He's got the benefit of funding and name, if I was born into that I'd use it to my advantage too.

As far as copying his Dad's driving style, you can see that Jr. has talent but some of the recklessness that characterized Dale Sr. are more often found in Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch (the guy who accidently-on-purpose brought out the caution in the Winston last year).

Just had to bust out the laps/miles lednumbers from this year's press guide...Cheers everybody and enjoy the race!
