Essentially there are only 4 spots left to get into the Daytona 500 so that means about 11 drivers must go home after today! Look for some tight racing in the back of the pack and some conservative racing from those who were involved in yesterday’s crash during practice (Logano, Johnson, Hamlin) who are now in back-up cars, although I would imagine that Bliss will be giving it his all even though he is in a back-up as he isn’t locked into the show like the others.
