Summary
The Daytona 500 gave us both ends of racing.
Corey was half a lap from making the show and didn’t. The truck motor blew. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was right there at the end again. And Daytona reminded everyone that superspeedway racing isn’t about domination, it’s about decision-making under pressure.
This week, we break down the winners and losers, what really causes the big one, why engine failures happen, and what fans misunderstand about racing at 195 mph.
Green Flag.
Winners & Losers.
Quiet Part Out Loud.
Predictions.
If you’re new here, this is Stacking Pennies. From inside the world of all things racing.
Leave a review if you’re riding with us this season.
