From the February, 2007 issue of Stock Car Insider


It's Time for the Daytona 500!

The wait is over, Daytona is here, and this year's Daytona 500 brings with it a whirlwind of change. During the off-season, NASCAR's Nextel Cup Series got a huge overhaul! Starting with the points and championship system all the way down to the cars themselves, fans will be hard-pressed to find something that didn't change.

With many NASCAR drivers changing teams, old sponsors like GM Goodwrench leaving, and rumors of Jeff Gordon nearing retirement age, there is too much to talk about! Therefore, I want to narrow your focus to what I predict will be the top 5 stories of 2007 in NASCAR.

But before I give you the top headlines of 2007, let me first tune you in to this week’s schedule.
