Whats this!? The director is actually showing the racing that was going on mid pack?! No way! You just don't get that any more these days. It's all follow the leader for the directors.
Tell me about it....if only they had had the brains to start the race at 2 or 2:30, instead of bombarding us with all the prerace crap, we would have been able to see a half decent finish.
with this start time, its great, love the sunset, for the 500, I like the time that they have now so it could finish at night, if they started at 12, its 9 in the west which is too early, sum go to church, its better for ratings to start later, its similar to the Super Bowl, why do they start at like 6:15/6:30, instead of 1 or 2???
this was my favorite layout for TNT... the ticker, announcers, everything

Boy, the way the track is lit up by the setting sun at the start of the race is just awesome.

they really do need to start the 500 at noon like they used to. it was better

agreed, but they worry more about ratings than tradition...

lol I think they start the Daytona 500 later than they started the Daytona night race back in 2003 :P

If the Daytona 500 started at an earlier time, we would not had dealt with the rain!

The 500 needs to go off at Noon like it did for years. 330 start time is FUCKIN REDICULOUS!!!

@gadgefan48 Yes they do. I wish NASCAR scheduled the Daytona 500 to end right around the time that this race started.
