From Jayski:

"Afternoon Cup Practice is over at DIS for the Daytona 500. Told by folks watching practice that #92-Stacy Compton was the fastest non-drafting car with a speed at 181.998mph."

And there's a good interview today with Compton and Sterling Marlin on the Dodge site:

Heh, looks like they "found" that speed they were looking for!

This is gonna be fun...

Looks like Ernie Elliot (Compton's engine builder) can build more than Ford engines. Let's hope all the Dodge guys get a good run tomorrow.

Did my heart good to see the Dodges on the track again. Now if we can talk them into letting them use the old winged Daytona as a pace car instead of that ugly watchamacallit.
