Here we go with TNT's biggest race of the year. Daytona under the lights starts with a one-hour pre-race Countdown to Green show.
Lindsay Czarniak will host with Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds alongside on the TNT "infield rig." The big feature is one on the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. Folks who have seen it say that it really does a lot to put his contributions to the sport in a very human perspective. The live interview on the set is Tony Stewart. Wally's World will be back with a track description.
Upstairs to call the race will be Adam Alexander, Wally Dallenbach Jr. and Petty. On pit road are Ralph Sheheen, Marty Snider, Matty Yocum and Phil Parsons.
This is the Wide Open coverage that TNT has been tweaking for years. It features commercials in a video box while the racing continues on the screen. In return, there are some added sponsor logos and animation elements. It works, but some folks really hate it because of the differences.
TNT will once again offer RaceBuddy. Jim Noble is the RaceBuddy pit road reporter and he has been doing a great job with interviews and updates. This online free application features multiple cameras and a social media stream for chat.
3D TV is on the way and TNT will originate two streams of 3D content for this race. DirecTV, NASCAR.com and several major cable TV providers will offer this content free of charge. The only drawback is that viewers must have a 3D capable computer monitor or TV. Of course, you have to wear the glasses!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 430 of 430Though he was having a good run, Hornish does it again and causes a big one. That boy needs to go back to IRL.
Thanks to whomever made the comment about changing the HD screen on the TV to remove the bottom graphics. It really works great and I don't have to look at all that bottom stuff.
BTW, lost my big TV when house was hit by lightning last week. Nasty storm and bolt hit the chimney and blew it apart. Took out the plasma, all phones, and a lot of outlets in the house. So far, $9K in damage.
oh well, Jr isn't known for his eloquence,
Man, what a night. Got to give it to the TV crew.
This is going to be an episode of "Survivor".
as predicted, hornish apparently caused that and wrecked a team mate!!!
@Anon 12:40 - If there are 2 cars left, it's enough to cause another caution.
Darcie - wow, sorry to hear about all the damage to your place.
Well, now Clint knows how Gordon felt at Martinsville and Hamlin at what was it Pocono? NASCAR WANTS the mayhem
@Sally, going to be? haha I think it already is!
24 hours of Daytona
Sam...racing deal. Gotta go there just narrowed up off the corner. Kurt didnt leave a big hole.
Clint taking the outside for the push from Gordon
and yes, I do think that it was Hornish making a bad choice, but at the end of the race, there are a lot of chances taken
Park and Conway going for a top-10!
Geez, I just realized it's nearly 1am at Daytona. These guys must be dog tired.
According to Leaderboard, Steve Park ran a lap of 946 mph (9.5 seconds). :)
Made a silly comment to my sister that I hoped the front guys would all goosh so that my Matt Kenseth could come back from the stupid "I think I have a flat" business.
36 & 34 both in the top 12 sometimes it pays off to run the whole race. let that be a lesson Phil Parsons.
Happy Fourth, Everyone !!! Keep it safe.
Not that anyone will notice because its a Shell/Pennzoil #29, but the Earnhardt #3 sweeps the weekend.
i know people don't like wrecks, but that was quite an ending, kurt with a 7th is unbelievable, jr with a 4th, have to be kidding me..
Happy 4th of July, dear Planeteers! Nice to spend the evening with you.
Been a good night even though it has been long. everybody stay sfe tomorrow. Happy Birthday to the USA!!!!
Steve Park 13th. He still has it!
NASCAR.com's Leaderboard froze at 160 laps, it looks like.
anyone know what the officials are measuring on the back of the cars before letting them go back to the haulers?
Well, that was.....interesting!
Our race wrap-up post is online so you can leave a comment on the marathon TNT coverage today.
It should be interesting to see what kind of post-race the network does after all this time.

@Red, spoiler angle, I think.
angle of the spoiler...

Nice job Harvick....really becoming a plate expert!
I believe they're measuring the angle of the spoiler if i'm not mistaken.
