NASCAR 2012 Pre-Season Power Rankings: Top 20 Drivers
Matt Kenseth Celebrates Winning the 2012 Daytona 500
Matt Kenseth won his second Daytona 500 on Monday night (in some places, early Tuesday morning). He staved off Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and teammate Greg Biffle, who finished second and third, to take the checkered.
Pretty good race this year, despite Juan Pablo Montoya’s fireball delay and some extra cautions down a stretch that led to a green-white-checkered finish.
