The Gatorade Duel at Daytona, which has traditionally been two 125-mile qualifying races, will now be a pair of 150-mile qualifying races. The extra 25 miles, equivalent to 10 laps, will force teams to re-think their pit strategy as they fight to make the field for the Daytona 500, known as NASCAR's richest and most prestigious race.
In addition, there will be an extended break with live entertainment between the 150-mile Gatorade Duel qualifying races."

I like this idea for a little longer race.

Why dont you think the 500 will make it to the track? The Taurus is and isn't the 500 replacing the Taurus?

Because DEI is so good at the draft other teams were trying to find something to help them out. I think Dale Sr. could see the air.

They cant be happy with his poor performances. Thats why I think mid-season till a change will be made. This will give DEI time to evaluate his situation in the 1st half.

They already have two drivers in the wings waiting to take Waltrip's spot. If Waltrip is gone, then that means the #1 and #15 car will be vacant.
