Reutimann finished 28th in the second duel, but as a result of Boris Said's finish in the first duel, Reutimann made the race based on his speed in last Sunday's qualifying session. Michael Waltrip Racing will field all three of its Camrys in the Daytona 500, as Jarrett made the race using the past champion's provisional.

  • What do Saku Koivu, Kari Lehtonen, Mark Parrish, Mats Sundin, Eric Staal, and Mike Modano all have in common? They all must step up to help their respective teams advance to the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs...at least thats what Allan Muir thinks.
