Some of the things you'll see only at Daytona include a rolling start, single-file re-starts and a fan wearing a KFC bucket as his hat.

As of last night, the results of last Friday's Daytona 200 were still provisional which makes some believe that when the official and final results are posted that some of the running order may change.
Don't expect DMG to name a new winner, but there have been accusations since the race ended that many riders made illegal passes during the yellow-flag/safety car period of the race.
One rider has already been disqualified: Buell rider Dan Eslick actually led the race and seemed to have the race well in hand before parts started falling off his Buell, a situation that led him to pit early. Yards of duct tape were used in an attempt to keep the Buell from shelling parts.
Eslick and his 1100cc twin rejoined the race, but even with nearly double the displacement of the 600s he was racing against, Eslick seemingly needed even more of an advantage.
After the race he was disqualified by the AMA/DMG for passing multiple riders during the caution period.

Interesting.
Thanks for the update.
I'm still confused about some of the postioning but some of it is cleared up.
With the new rules, full course yellows, pace car, pits stops, etc.. you'd think the big teams would have hired some type of "DMG coach." Basically someone to teach the rider(s) what is the appropriate course of action in a given situation.
