2007 NNC Daytona 500 Pole Qualifying

[@skyhigh335]

The one thing I like about single car qualifying is that it gives the announcers to discuss all the drivers and teams more openly whether if it’s a low or high budget team. It also gives them a more equal opportunity for TV time and allow sponsor exposure.

[@dennisbowen452]

This was when qualifying was simple and not gimmicked tf up. 2 laps. Daytona the only non normal 2 lap thing with a duel race is ok but now its a joke.

[@justinknust2395]

More than 60 cars attempted to qualify for this race. Now we barely get 40.

[@plutusp3times782]

Justin Knust i miss these days

[@jackietang3789]

and also fully sponsored cars DNQing which most likely we wont ever see again

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

I remember recently watching some season reviews from the 90's and there were around 10 not making the 'smaller' races at places like Rockingham.

[@hunterman7324]

That's a lot of cars

we will probably never see these many teams attempt a race again

[@ViperGhost68]

These cars would eventually become the Daytona and Talladega arca racing cars

[@seandamenacee4767]

I wish they were still here

[@dennisbowen452]

They still are. Frankie muniz this last year drove sterlings car from 01 lol.

[@alexandercarabitses8081]

Gotta love DW's attempt at a New England accent at 2:22:05 when Kevin Lepage is on track.

[@cocacola150dr]

The Gen 5 and 6 cars, coupled with the repave, are the reason the times have been quicker the past few years. After the surface gets some wear and tear on it, the times will at least level out, if not get slower.

With the old restrictor plate cars, I always loved how the Hendrick powered cars sounded in comparison to the rest of the cars.

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

@@gjam1617 i love how passionate he is about racing - it doesn't matter how good a tv personality someone is, you can't beat having someone that genuinely loves what they're talking about. There's only a short while he annoyed the heck outta me, mid 2000's talking about Smoke. He will be missed in that booth. Hope you're good.
