After an hour plus in the pits the 69 returned action. In 2010 the team had a bad start at Daytona and still won the championship.

While others struggle, and midnight passes, Dempsey Racing is now running SECOND and FIFTH.






Dempsey Racing plotting pit strategy. There is still a LONG way to go, but the team is running strong.

The #69 car is officially retired -- suspension damage from the previous contact. The #36 car suffered a similar fate.

yeah, Sadly Speed has to cover everything nascar. I'm sure once coverage returns, they'll spend 5 of the last 6 hours talking about the Gainsco Car and all the other cars with Nascar drivers and not actually show much of the race.

I wonder how Sprint Cup fans would like it if Fox only broadcast the first and last 100 miles of the Daytona 500?

That would be awesome. I'm sure buildings would be burnt in retaliation.
