February 14th, 20201 will see the 63rd running of The Great American Race, the Daytona 500. We can use this thread to talk about the race, Can keep it updated with everything. I look forward to this years race, and getting the season started!

It's the 14th? They moved it up a week? Awesome! Usually it's like 2 weeks after the Super Bowl.

Yep! I think the Super Bowl also moved back a week actually, didn't it? Like, I think the season started a week later or something for them if I remember right. I can't remember exactly what happened. Cause last year it was the 16th.(the 500)

Yeah, you're right. Because Feb. started on a Monday this year the Super Bowl is pretty much a week later than usual. Either way, I can't wait until all of the races at Daytona.

Cheering for my favourite driver Stewart 'Mr. Freeze' Friesen as well of course Deegan [for obvious reasons]
Otherwise Ankrum and and Lessard are my fantasy picks! Can't wait. This time last year - I wouldn't have given Nascar a second thought tbh.

Use the 2021 season thread. Let’s save this one for the Daytona 500.

Wow!

Already a caution seconds after the race just started lol

EDITED: My bad for not using the main NASCAR thread for Truck Series Discussion.

I can't believe it's been two decades since that dark day. Dale Sr. will always be missed by NASCAR fans everywhere.

Bad news for Erik Jones and Martin Truex Jr.

NASCAR announced two more Daytona 500 entries will drop to the rear of the field for Sunday’s race after parts changes – and one of the teams, the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Chevrolet squad of Erik Jones, will also start from the rear the following week at the Daytona Road Course.

Jones (engine change; qualified: 31st) and Martin Truex Jr., who drives the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota (radiator/oil cooler change; qualified: 26th), join six additional cars moving to the rear.

The No. 43 team violated Rule 20.6.1.2.e (Single Engine Rule) of the NASCAR Rule Book, which states that if a team swaps engines in the primary car after the Duel races, the team is subject to moving to the rear of the field for both the Daytona 500 and the ensuing race. This rule is in place to prevent teams from having an engine only used for qualifying.

The remaining six cars previously announced incurred damage in Thursday night’s Bluegreen Vacation Duel races and will switch to a backup entry.

Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman is on the Busch Pole. His teammate, William Byron, will officially be credited with a second-place starting position, although he’s among those who will drop to the back after the Thursday night wreck in Duel 2.

MTJ was just wanting some extra excitement and challenge by starting at the back, thats all.

Daytona 500! LETS GO!
