Welcome fellow boaters and Nascar fans
Only a little more than a week to go before the official start of The 2015 Race to the Chase. The season kicks off later today with practice for Saturday nights Sprint Unlimited, an exhibition race. The Unlimited features the 2014 Chasers, 2014 pole winners, prior Sprint Unlimited winners, any previous Daytona pole winners competing full-time in 2014 (hello Danica), with the remainder of the minimum 25 spots filled by the highest points positions from last year not already in the race. That's a mouthful!
Compliments of MRN, here is the schedule from today through the 500;
I'm kinda disgusted with FOX, including the Suckys. Not only are the Truck races on Sucky1, same as last year, but now the Nationwide.......er XFINITY races are only on Sucky1. A few will be on FOX and later in the season, after NBC begins coverage most will be on NBCSN. I'll be streaming a lot of MRN audio.:facepalm:
Kevin Harvick, Chase Elliott and Matt Crofton will be defending their respective series Championships.
In The News
50 drivers will going after the 43 spots for the D500

- [*=1]Side skirts cannot be re-formed during any race. It became an issue last year when some cars left the pits after the first stop with side skirts in front of the rear wheels pulled out to change aero. [*=1]Stewart Haas has a plan in place just in case Kurt Busch won't be able to race. His situation is beyond weird! [*=1]Tony Stewart says his leg is not an issue when piloting the #14. [*=1]Brian Vickers will miss Daytona and Atlanta following a December heart procedure to repair a failed patch. His first 2015 race will be Las Vegas. [*=1]Carl Edwards starts with his new seat at JGR following 11+ seasons with Roush-Fenway [*=1]Jeff Gordon is running his final Daytona 500 after announcing his retirement at the end of the 2015 season. He did get a new job with Axalta as a Global Business Adviseor with a multi-year contract. I think he's set.
