The front row of the 2011 Daytona 500 has been determined. Dale Earnhardt, Jr., secured the pole position and will start the race alongside his teammate, Jeff Gordon, who will start in the second position.
The remainder of the field will be determined on Thursday, the 17th, with the Duel races starting around 1:00 pm.
Dale Jr. also sat on the pole for Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout after being the lucky one to draw that position the previous night. He wasn't so lucky, however, during the race when he was taken out by an accident involving Regan Smith and Carl Edwards.
Speaking of that race, I am not a fan of this "new" racing at Daytona...the two-car tango. It might look like fun to others, not to mention some of the drivers loving it, but I would like to see restrictor plate racing like we are used to seeing it.
And for me, it is now time to take a deep breath, hold it...hold it...hold it...and don't breathe till the last lap of the last race at the end of November.
