Qualifying Results

Jimmie Stevens looks smooth! The #2 "AMPIO" Mustang dominated the second Daytona Duel, jumping from 1/100 to 1/30 in the Extravaganza sportsbook. "My wife Courtney put all her pennies on me." exclaimed Stevens, hoping to defeat Ryan Heuser, Johnny Reed Foley and the Lucas Racing brigade at the pinnacle of American motorsports! Pole-sitter Ryan Heuser goes for four-in-a-row, a feat not accomplished since Roscoe Riker in 1984. If the #138 NOS Energy Chevrolet pulls it off, it will be Ryan's fifth "Crown Jewel" victory in seven tries, with a $10,000,000 check to boot! Zach Michael, John Battista, Dave Miller, Ken Pettit and Matthew Dominique try for their first Daytona 500 victory in their illustrious careers. Good luck to all!

"Timothy McDonnell belongs in the graveyard!" That was Steven Spock's quote after McDonnell's gruesome crash in his Daytona Duel. When McDonnell walked out of the #22 Volkswagen, the ovation of the crowd broke one of his eardrums, injuring him more than the bruises and abdomen swelling. "If Pete Townsend can play bass with one ear, then I can win the Daytona 500!" exclaimed McDonnell, failing to realize Townshend isn't deaf or played bass. Alex Crapser suffered more sympathy from the female fans after his accident. His new book "Cooking With Crapser!" is a housewife staple, replacing Julia Child as the epitome of the kitchen.

Ziggy Moonglow suffers! A morbid crash in his Daytona Duel, decimating his ribcage like Benny Parsons decimates his brunch. He'll be strapped to his seat with double-sided tape and carpet pad from the Cheapo Depot, hoping to cushion his abdomen during a bump draft situation. Two drivers who won't need cushioning are Scott Jackson and Rob Scarberry; devastated and shattered at missing the race. "We'll celebrate at home" said Jackson. "Hopefully my wife will make a turkey and pickle sandwich, but she probably left me for not bringing home the dough!" Rob will sit at home, repairing his VCR so he can watch tape for next week at Atlanta.
