February 16, 2005 -- With a time of 47.793 seconds (188.312 M.P.H.), Dale Jarrett has captured the pole for next Sunday's 47th running of the Daytona 500. The tri-champion was one of the three drivers to have broken the 188 M.P.H. barrier. Starting on the front row with Jarrett for this year's "Great American Race" will be Jimmie Johnson with a time of 47.829 seconds (188.170 M.P.H.) along with Jeff Gordon, who was third fastest at 47.833 seconds.

"This is great for our team," said Jarrett. "Mike Ford started building this car last October and they did a fantastic job. This is a great way to get Speedweek started for us. I was on the pole last night and didn't make much from that. I plan on having a lot more say so on the outcome next Sunday."

This year once again, thousands will gather in Daytona to see great drivers soar under the scorching sun in pursue of the checkered flag. This year once again fans will cheer, while drivers fight to stay in the lower groove so others cannot pass. Cars will overheat, others won't have enough grip in their front tires and will hit the wall. Drivers will have to lift off the throttle early until they pit and adjust the handling, simply because of other cars not handling well.

If like hundreds of thousands of Americans, you bet on this event, you will probably sweat the race seeing your pick move into the top 10, but then falling back to 20th place. Maybe you'll feel you have made another buck, and then guess whose car will be blowing up at lap 26? Who will hit a cone at the entry to pit road and will have to take a detour through the grass, slowing down his pitstop and causing him to fall off the lead lap? Who will win Daytona 500 this year?

Yep, all the excitement of Daytona 500 is here. And as much as we would like to tell you who's going to win, we just don't know, but we have all the information you need to get an edge.

A Busch? That's O.K., our nosey parker on site might need it more than us; after all, we'll be watching from our couch while we wait for the stake on the grill to be ready, rooting for No.24,
