While it took an extra day to get it in but the 2024 Daytona 500 has finally been put in the books! Now we have the NASCAR season officially under way and we have learned a couple of things both about the competition and everyone around it as well as the Next Gen’s continued improvement at Daytona and other superspeedway. So what did we learn from the 2024 Daytona 500?

What did you think of the 2024 Daytona 500?
Great racing
Meh ending
Byron held his ground what was he supposed to do?
I thought it was great!
The finish sucked, but that doesn’t take away how incredible the race was. It was one of the best 500s I have ever watched.
That was the worst big one I’ve seen in a WHILE
yea i think that’s the biggest one in the next gen era
@@N45C4R242022 Coke Zero 400 is the worst, took out everyone but Dillon in the main pack
I’ve seen worse, but I will say it’s one of the dumbest ones. If Bowman wasn’t a terrible pusher, we wouldn’t have had that
YEAH, since Friday during the truck race.
2022 Summer was worse it took out 70% of the field, at least many cars still ended this race
1. If we’re going to have all these commercials, we need GOOD commercials, not the Super Bowl’s handover commercials.
2. The broadcast can be solid with the right people in the booth. (I swear it doesn’t matter if it’s RCR, SHR, or now the FOX booth, Harvick is always CARRYING something!)
3. Mother Nature is rotten to the core!
This ain’t 2004 anymore with unique driver commercials. We’re still stuck in a recession for the past 26 years
and honestly I felt like there were to many commercials for my liking
It’s literally nicknamed “the superbowl of Motorsports” so yes we need good commercials
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.even before the recession of 2009 we had driver commercials it’s not the early 2010’s anymore where nascar is marketable to sponsors.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworldnext year
I wanna know why we had a side-by-side for post stage 2 pace laps. Like thats the exact spot where you put the long commercial break so that we can save the side-by-side for the important parts.
NASCAR really said “hey so you guys remember how bad the 2004 Aaron’s 499 ended up being? Yeah let’s recreate that”
We still needed the fans throwing beer bottles at Byron to be complete
24 cars seem to be involved in instances like those. Remember the 05 500 gordon got the lead right before the caution
Yesterday was a great race idc what anyone says. Best 500 of the Gen 7 era. Racing product reminded me of the late Gen 6 speedway racing years with a hint of Gen 4 to me. I didn’t have a problem with the race ending under caution. Sure I wanted a green flag finish don’t get me wrong but I’m an old school fan. I prefer legitimacy over entertainment.
The fact that we only had 3 crashes was very surprising.
Could of had less if Hendrick clowns knew how to race
@@FrequencyOfThoughtlmao everybody was pushing. It was unfortunate
@@FrequencyOfThought
What did HMS do to you?
@@DannyRicBobby3 triggered.. Let’s be honest without a presidential pardon, that criminal rick hendrick wouldn’t even be a thing
@@FrequencyOfThought Bingo –
Don’t be a hater of GWCs and then hate the end on caution. It’s what you ask for tbh
The Wendy’s Go Biggue 5 minute segment wirh 30 to 35 to go was totally ridiculous. Good to see Hendrick end the decade long drought of winning the Daytona 500.
Really great race and overall good job by Fox on the coverage. But that Wendy’s commercial made me feel like I was being force fed mandatory education in some dystopian society…
I enjoyed this Daytona a lot more than some of the previous ones, Harvick and Bowyer are really good together.
My one big gripe is that here on the west coast, or at least my local Fox switched over to the news with 5 laps to go, luckily they came back quickly right before 3 laps to go, but still gave my heart quite a jump scare.
2004 Talladega vibes, 2002 Pepsi vibes, and a twist of 2007 crammed into it
@parkerwalsh3340 I had the same feeling for some laps it even started to seem like a tandem draft race haha, for other almost a michigan race hahah
I get the whole fuel mileage thing, but it’s gotten weird on superspeedways. I get wanting to run 4-20th to save fuel, but I’ve never seen a gentleman’s agreement for the leader of the field to slow the pack by 3 seconds to the point where a lone car was running faster lap times than the pack.
Yeah that was wild lol
The fox broadcast was still well below NBC! Still great racing.
Alex Bowman is back. Imagine waiting till 6:30pm for the Superbowl of NASCAR. Only races of the year that shouldn’t end in caution the first and the last of year
This was my first Daytona 500 in a decade (I was hanging on by a thread in 2013 and the playoff format was my last straw). And I was amazed and delighted to see 2 and 3 wide, reminding me of the Gen 4 era. Yeah, the double train schtick was there but at least one line would give momentum away after a while.
I feel like the fuel and pit strategy kept the big one from happening in the middle of the race. It was a great 500, just wish it finished under green.
We’ve learned a couple things.
1. The superspeedway package is improving year after year. Runs are big, but not unblockable.
2. The Cup field continues to show that you can run most of a plate track race clean. Looking at you, ARCA Plus— I mean, Truck Series.
3. FOX still sucks.
4. Mother Nature is out to get us.
5. Even with the wet fart that was the end of this race, I’d still take that over 4 overtime attempts. It went the scheduled distance and didn’t require a single overtime attempt.
You should apply to work for fox then
I enjoyed the race.
This’ll be the first year in a long time I intend to watch the full season, and this plus the duels made me excited again.
During commercials, I switched to MRN radio, and I swear the commentary is night and day.
I don’t know exactly what’s the difference, but if I had a guess, it’s the energy in the commentators voices.
MRN felt like they could yell at any moment, while I swear that Harvick doesn’t have an outside voice.
He keeps to him self for 23 years what u expect exactly?
I only got to see the first 60 laps of the race because I had to leave for work so I listened to some of it on MRN and from what I saw and heard it was really good racing. I loved the new sponsorships we have to kick off the season on the cars and for my money I would say this was one of the best racing we’ve seen at Dayton in a while. Not a total wreck fest, not a ton of controversy at the end the “they should’ve let them race back” comments and what’s so crazy is that it was ran on a Monday but it felt like a Sunday!
