Daytona 500
 
That trifecta today would have paid seven figures for a buck.

A 20-year-old in his 2nd lifetime race won for a guy who hadn't won a race in 10 years.

The Taco Bell car was tons the fastest late and finished 3rd - but only had two laps to work with. Here is what is says about that car ...

Gilliland, came into the Daytona 500 with 150 career NASCAR Sprint Cup starts, with only two top-five and seven top-10 starts to show for it. His team, Front Row Motorsports, had made 196 starts in parts of seven seasons, never once having finished a single race in the top 10.
How the fucl< do you run in 196 car races - and never once finish in the top 10? That car came from out of nowhere at the end.

He (and his team/car) are just a 5k claimer trying to win a Grade 1.

with a 16% takeout and pari-mutual betting ... I say the winner is 350/1 and 3rd place is 600/1... and both are overbet at those prices.

FRM was a start-up a couple seasons back and are just now starting to get the same caliber equipment as the other teams. I don't think they're going to be throwing down top 10's with regularity, but Gilliland/Kvapil have always been strong at the restrictor plate races, and I don't see any reason why the 34/37/38 teams can't be vastly improved over last year.

I was a long time Ricky Rudd fan until he retired.
