I'd hoped to have done a longer post on today's race, but time seems to have gotten away from me. So, here are some quick predictions for the Daytona 500:
-
Sam Hornish Jr. will finish in the top 15, which would be a respectable finish for the former Indy 500 winner. I'd give Dario Franchitti a chance to get there too if he wasn't starting in the 20th row.
-
Kurt Busch will find a way to finish in the top 5, even from his starting position of #43.
-
Dale Jarrett will struggle in what will likely be his final Daytona. Too bad, he's one of the classiest drivers in the history of the sport.
-
One of the Hendricks cars is going to go out early; I'll guess Dale Earnhardt Jr.
-
My predicted top 5: Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Mark Martin.
