I couldn't watch the race but I am glad to see the Woods Brothers and Ford back in the winner's circle and that young driver (sorry I don't know his name, yet) on top. Maybe, just maybe, Jimmie Johnson's luck is going to not be as good as it has been the past few years.

I know that NASCAR has changed the body design somewhat and Daytona has a new surface but can someone explain why 2 cars were so fast? I understand 2 cars being faster than 1 but why were 2 cars so much faster than 3 or 4 or more cars? In the past, it was always a freight train - restrictor plate race with 5 or 10 cars hooking up to fly right on by the other cars. Now it is 2 by 2 by 2.
