This is not your father’s Daytona.
The mass drafting packs of 30 cars hurtling at nearly 200 mph just a few feet off each other’s bumper on their way to the inevitable Big One may be a thing of the past.
But that doesn’t mean that when the green flag drops at 12:19 p.m. for today’s Daytona 500 and the first race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season there won’t be edge-of-the-seat excitement.
“It is definitely going to be stressful,” said Tony Stewart, who won Saturday’s Nationwide race. “We’re going to have some guys that look like soapy dish rags at the end of this race tomorrow. It is going to be very mentally taxing.”
The old Daytona had chewed-up 32-year-old asphalt. Handling was a major issue, tires were a key to victory and nobody dared to push draft.
The new Daytona is smooth as glass. Engine cooling is the major issue, tires don’t wear out and drivers either push draft or get lapped in a hurry.
“The old pavement was like driving down a gravel road,” said 2003 Cup champion Matt Kenseth. “Handling is such a non-issue (now) that you can run 210 or 215 at least before you have to start getting off the gas.
