Ryan in Duel 1

Seems Ryan was much better when a car was glued to him and pushing. Well, except for early in the race. Great save by Ryan for sure!

Seems the race will come down to the engines that don't blow, and the lucky one that is in the front and happens to have a dancing partner. I don't see anyone pulling away in this one.

It was nice to see Ryan and Tony work together and listen to them communicate on the scanner. They are a great fit as teammates.

Two races now are complete at Daytona for 2011 and Ryan hasn't wrecked his car! Bring on the 500! Go get'em SHR!

When Ryan spun out I was thinking,"Here we go again!"

Tony and Ryan looked pretty good together. They made a charge but got sort of blocked at the end. They lots a lot of spots due to that. I know, doesn't matter any how.

Newman has the 21ST pit stall.

All I want to see is the #39 cross the start/finish line in one piece. This is a long race if your drivers out early....it's a long day!

From what the drivers have said about the 2-car style of racing, it is going to be an exhausing 500 miles behind the wheel for all of them.

Wishing Ryan all the best on Sunday
