Re: Daytona 500 as the FINAL race ???

Beginning and ending the season at Daytona has a certain symmetry about it. That's a plus.

A November race at Daytona is very prone to a rain out and probably would be too chilly for a night race. That's a negative.

Since Pepsi is leaving the race sponsorship it could go back to its real name, The Firecracker 400. Moving it to November would negate that. That's a negative.

Based to the rest of today's schedule, that would give them two plate races in the Playoffs. That's a definite negative.

I'll have to go with: Find something else to tinker with, Brian, you doofus!
