Kahne with the win RPM is the top Ford in each race.

Sadler is strong at the end.

Mennard was coming up through the field with 5 laps to go, gets sideways and finishes midpack again.

Kahne's comments-----------------------------

In the second Gatorade Duel, Kahne nipped Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya to earn his first victory at Daytona.

Driving the Budweiser Ford, Kahne passed early leader Busch on lap 59 to gain the win.

The happy winner said, "We weren't really strong, but we were strong enough to hold off the others. At the beginning, my car was loose, but my crew made it better on pit stops. Once I got behind Tony (Stewart), I felt I was in a good position. Kurt (Busch) helped me out, and I got by Tony. When you beat that guy, you know you have done something special."

The margin of victory was a tick of the clock slower than the first Duel at .015 seconds

No I'm glad you told me I read where RPM were making there own chassis. Than that leaves one more thing , it was his drivers in the 150's that couldn't finish the job.

Roush is building all of the chasis for RPM this year. (Not sure why, I think RPM should build their own, but they're not.)

Cost to High but I understand once RPM buy those Chassis they engineers do a lot more to setting them up and so far it's working

They built really good cars. Kasey Kahne even said that the cars were awesome, they just needed better power. Well, Ford can provide the power, I just think they would be better off building their own chasis and working with Roush on development and stuff...

All the way with you Andrew.

» Kahne, Sadler and Mennard running solid in the first half of the second race
» Kahne was fast, Mennard and Allmendinger halfway decent in 1st practice
» Solid finish by Allmendinger in a Ford while Kahne has a good run go bad
» Fun race to watch, another strong outing for Kahne
» Again, Mennard is the top RPM car
