Listened to a bit on the radio until I lost the feed, just turning it on for the main run to the checkers.

I noticed that it's 40 cars and not 43. Did they change things up?

Was certain Truex won it until they showed the replay. At least Kyle got third.

What an astounding finish (though I was rooting for Truex) and serious kudos to Kenseth for not taking the entire field out. That's some crazy skill to have gotten that car back under control. Hamlin may be quietly becoming one of the all-time greats.
Also honestly relieved and glad we were able to get through this race without a big one.

Congrats to Denny Hamlin! Haven't seen a close finish since Harvick's 500 win.

Wow! Wow! Wow.
Man, left to try and cool off, but made it back for that finish! Amazing. Would have sworn non-existent kids it was Martins until that replay. What an end.

Just realized something: this would of been Tony Stewart's last opportunity to win his first Daytona 500.

Toyota 1-2-3 for the 500. As a driver of a Toyota, I'm tickled pink.

I had this awful fear that Gibbs was going to make his drivers hold station, so well done Denny for actually going for it and making it a great finish.
All in all about an 8/10 race, We had the great finish and whilst the passing was tough it wasn't impossible and thus the quality in the field came to the forefront. It loses points though for the Gibbs domination of the middle stages and Chase's early exit after all the hype.

Meanwhile on the other side of the pond, McLaren seems to determined to keep their cars profoundly mediocre looking. Still not as awful as last year's launch livery, but not as good as what they were racing the tail end of last year. I hope Renault changes their livery to have a lot more yellow, otherwise it's going to be a very annoying season with four nearly pure black cars with only small accents differing. Haas also revealed their car today, and I can't decide if I like their livery yet or not. Almost seems like it wants to have the black and white inverted, but we'll see how it looks in motion.
