At Halfway Point Of Daytona 500, It’s Anybody’s Race

There have been 15 different leaders so far in the Daytona 500, which is just past its halfway point in front of a capacity crowd of roughly 150,000.

Clint Bowyer led the 100th lap of 200, but Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick have all recently had the lead.

Harvick – a Bowyer teammate at Richard Childress Racing – has had looked to be among the strongest cars so far.

Kasey Kahne, AJ Allmendinger and Elliott Sadler – all driving Fords for Richard Petty Racing – has also been impressive.

Backmarkers Joe Nemechek and Mike Bliss spun in separate incidents to bring out cautions, but the race has been relatively quiet since a lap 8 wreck.
