Tony Stewart, loses an engine... Finishes 43rd...  36 races later, he comes out on top! :) Tony Stewart for the win! Hope he comes back and wins it again this year.

@mantisjr I don't, mainly because I only saw 2 DAYTONA 500's end in the day (2004 and 2005), before this year's Daytona 500. LOL. I was suprised that it didn't end at night this year. LOL

@KA128183 LOL. That's exactly what I said! LOL.

[mantisjr]

anybody know why they cant finish a 500 now in the daytime???????

best daytona 500 of that decade. come on, all that drama the last hour of this race. gordon getting spin on the restart, mark martin's spin on the last lap, marlin trying to fix his car, what an idiot. plus the big one was epic too.

@HomeDepot20TS I did not like that wretched black and white sharkfin scheme on the side. I love his 1999-2001 scheme it just went well with the Home Depot logo.

I remember how frustrating this day was, but I was shocked at how I kind of took it in stride just like Tony did. I still believed he'd win the title. By midseason I doubted it, obviously it all worked out in the end.

[mantisjr]

thumbs up if you u miss the 500 ending in the day

[KA128183]

So much for the silent lap 3. lol.

[KCity14Podolak]

Until the 2011 Daytona 500, that was the last silent Lap 3. Unless you wanna count last year's Nationwide Race b4 the Coke Zero 400 but the announcers wouldn't shut up. R.I.P. DALE!!! 3 FOREVER!!!!!
