2012 Daytona 500 Preview

February 22, 2012 by Jako

We are just a few days away from the first NASCAR race of the season and fans cannot wait to see the official green flag for the Daytona 500.  This year’s race will feature a new asphalt surface, which will be a welcome to drivers after dealing with the pot holes at last year’s race.  With the new track, tires won’t be the issue anymore.  With the smooth surface, engine cooling will be the big issue.

This will be the first race with two car tandem drafting replacing big packs of cars drafting.  This is going to be interesting to watch with the new changes to the cooling systems and smaller front grill openings.  NASCAR officials hope this will stop drivers from pushing for such long stresses and cut down on cars going airborne.

10 drivers will be looking to Thursday afternoon’s duels to getting into the 500 on Sunday.  There are some major names and some blasts from the past that will be competing to get in. 

It was a very exciting finish to last week’s Budweiser Shootout with a slingshot pass by Kyle Busch to overtake Tony Stewart for the win.  Check back with us through the week for more NASCAR info leading up to the big race on Sunday.

Danica Patrick proved she is tough enough to run with the big boys this week.  She spun out and slammed head first into the wall at a speed of almost 200 miles an hour.  It was such a hard crash that all of her wheels came off the ground and the car was totaled.  Patrick will have to drive a backup car in the race on Sunday.  The crash will cause her to start near the back of the field on Sunday but she definitely proved she can take a hit the way she walked away and shook off this crash.
