DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — The sun is out, the heat is on and all systems appear to be a go for today’s Gatorade Duels at Daytona. The pair of qualifying races for Sunday’s Daytona 500 are set to start at 2 PM/EDT on SPEED Channel.
The format for today is simple: two races, 60 laps, and the finishing positions set the grid for Sunday’s race.
The races will be the highlight of the day, which is certainly a good thing after a morning discussion involving FOX Sports’ crew about an animated gopher and his future merchandise got a little interesting in the media room. Simply, FOX is trying to make some unabashed cash off the sales of some t-shirts and the journalists in the room wondered if that blurred the line of journalism ethics for FOX’s crew.
In other words, let’s hope today’s races provide some excitement as expected. See you after the race.
