Running wide open: The Coke Zero 400 talkback thread

Happy Fourth of July weekend! For those of you in the states, hope you've enjoyed honoring our country's birth by blowing all kinds of crap to pieces, grilling anything you can get your hands on, and drinking yourself into a stupor. For those of you not in America, how about blowing us a big ol' kiss? Why? Well, without us, you wouldn't have all the cool stuff in the world, like Warren Zevon, The Shield and comic books. Oh, and NASCAR and Coke, too. You can thank us for those.

Speaking o' which, it's time to shake off the hangover and cookout coma and talk racing. We're back in Daytona this weekend, soho's going to take the checkers? Who's going to cause The Big One? As commenter Capt. Moroni put it in the "Give Daytona a motto" thread:

Daytona: 500 ÷ 200 x 43 = 13 cautions, 54 commercials, 168,000 drunken sunburnt spectators, 30,000 tailgate parties, 20 tons of burnt hamburgers, 200,000 gallons of warm beer, and 1 winner!
