2nd and 3rd place going for the win are gonna slow down in case of a Caution ?
That's NOT how you race, you don't slow down incase something should happen, particularlry when its Behind you...

2 drivers yesterday started towards the back and were in the Top 10 very early in the race, so it can be done.

Well,you listen to most of the drivers,the majority said it's very hard to pass.Most of the lead changes in the 500,were because of pit stops.Everyone I have talked to that watched the race agree it was flat out boring.The internet sports sites also agree that it was boring.
Yea but,if your spotter says cars spinning or wrecking and your Danica Patrick,you might let off the throttle for a split second.I don't know that she or Biffle did but,it just looked like they did.The reason I say that,is because the previous 499 laps showed no moves like Martin and Jr.made.
I'm not so sure it's the car as much as it is the drivers just being conservative. Every race from start to finish should be a shootout till the end. I blame nascar for making it the way it is. There needs to be more incentive on individual races rather than the big picture/points.
I don't believe I could be a driver & do give those folks credit. The high speed in traffic jams alone would be enough to break me, besides I'd have to stop for a pee break every 100 or so laps.
Overall I enjoyed the race. Danica ran real good & fast imo, so did many of the others. I like the look of the new cars & will admit out loud that I'm a Toyota fan but not big fan of their drivers.

So, because Biffle and Patrick may have slowed down, allowed Jr and Martin to catch Johnson ?
Johnson didnt slow down ...
44 cars on the entry list for Phoenix
The 2 from Daytona that aren't making the trip are Bayne and Brian Keselowski

Hopefully we will see some racing this Sunday.
I listened to NASCAR radio on Sirius yesterday. Most of the hosts said they thought the Daytona 500 was "a good race".
They did not convince me. Let's face it. The middle 125 laps of the event had the entertainment value of watching grass grow.
Yes it is a test of endurance.
With the old model, there was plate races with in excess of 50 lead changes during the event. The fans hated the two car tandem. NASCAR reacted for that and other reasons. The geniuses designed the Gen 6.
Now we have no racing on plate tracks.
Now, some callers suggested getting rid of the restrictor plates. Not gonna happen. A couple people suggested detuning the engines. That was shot down as too expensive.
I have a suggestion. Keep the plates. Mandate a minimum final gear ratio. The thinking is if the gear ratio turns the engine RPM's at speed, the drivers will not be able to run with their foot to the floor. This does two things. One reduces race speeds. Two gives the drivers some room to accelerate for passing or in instances where they must lift or brake.
In my observation, the reason we saw 30 cars in single file for 300 miles was because they cannot pass if they get out of line. So with that mentality being the same with all the drivers, no one wanted to make a move.
I'm going to boldly predict,that the Phoenix race will be much more exciting!
Not!
I will predict that Danica will not start in the top 10 and will NOT finish in the top 20.
