starting first seems to never be advantageous. Good lap but the others will probably pick up the speed as qualifying progresses. But at leat we saw it and they said some nice things about him. The car looks awesome!

I'll just keep it simple; after all the comments yesterday that is a big letdown.
Bring on offroad, rally, and open wheel. Or don't claim pole possibilities when you clearly don't have a shot.

Hopefully it runs well in traffic. I have a feeling with the lax rules on bump drafting and the lack of testing, the 500 will be a wreck fest. (More so than usual)
for sure...with the new rules..drive around in the back will prob be the norm

I was hardly trash talking, just stating my thoughts. Sorry you see it differently. I would have said nothing if he was dead last today (which has happened before at plate tracks) except he claimed to have a chance at the pole.
Qualifying for plate tracks (especially speed weeks at Daytona) is largely pointless, but being so far off you claims is a let down.
