The rain came around noon Thursday to Daytona International Speedway, delaying practice, keeping fans away and causing bartenders in restaurants near the track to wonder where the patrons were.  By evening, however, the track was dry and the NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup drivers were on the track for their shortened practice sessions.
 

The Nationwide drivers hit the track first as they searched for a dancing partner for Friday night’s race, where two-car tandems will be the order of the night in a race where some drivers will be making their first start at there.
 

The two top Sunoco Rookie of the year contenders will face off this weekend when Timmy Hill and Blake Koch take the green flag for Friday’s race. Hill leads the rookie standings by 16 points over Koch and both drivers will be making their first Daytona Nationwide start. Hill had not reached the minimum age of 18 when the Daytona 500 was run and Koch had planned to run a limited schedule.
Several Sprint Cup drivers will be in the Nationwide field including Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick who will join Elliott Sadler and Clint Bowyer as part of the KHI team.
 

The Sprint Cup drivers spent the rainy day waiting for practice, making media appearances and signing autographs for fans who caught up with them as they made their way around the track. 

The Coke Zero 400 will be run under the lights on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT.

  2. However, generic results were MK Outlet scarcely obtained to be extended for a wide range of barriers. The main reasons can be identified as the lack of thorough understanding of the interaction between fish locomotion and water flow regime upstream of the investigated Cheap Nike Air Force 1 barriers. Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet Hence, the aim of this study is to Coach Bags Clearance propose a leaping framework compatible with a diverse range of fish species and barriers.

    AbstractWe investigate the spatially resolved stellar populations of a sample of seven nearby massive Early type galaxies (ETGs), using optical and near infrared data, including K band spectroscopy. This data offers good prospects for Ray Ban Outlet mitigating the uncertainties inherent in stellar population modelling by making a wide variety of strong Cheap Yeezy Shoes Sale spectroscopic features available. We report New Air Jordan Shoes new VLT KMOS measurements of the Jordan Shoes For Sale average empirical radial gradients out to the effective radius in the strengths of the Ca I 1.98 m and 2.26 m features, the Na I 2.21 m line, and the CO 2.30 m bandhead.
