Lets get it started with gerard butler, leading us in spartan form. This is daytona and now i really need your help. Yeah, from the 300, to the 500. Martin started 28th, after being crashed out twice last week. The car was back up to the back up, but it was fast. It was running second in the last 30 laps when Dale Earnhardt jr. , the favorite lost it, spun through the infield, hit the inner wall hard, dale was okay. The Bass Pro Shop still running second, behind matt kenseth. Then more crash and burn. Tangling with 25 laps to go. The 10 car flying through the grass, another green lap restart. Then the drama, martin still in second, matt in first. The rest of the field breathing down their necks. Heres the call, as Furniture Row tried to bring it back to denver. Truex to the bottom. Kenseth saves it. Here they come to the bottom of the line. Bouncing off each other, unbelievable danny hamlin, my goodness. By an inch. Truex jr. Finished second by less than a half a foot. 0. 011 seconds. Closest finish in 500 history, almost had another super bowl parade coming through denver. Oh, man, so close. Great showing by Furniture Row. Great finish, but second is painful when youre that lose to first. I wish we could have won obviously. But just going to have to watch that on the highlight reel for the rest of my career, i suppose. I remember what happened to mark martin. The picture of the race is in the tunnel when you come in turn 1. I have a feeling, im going to have to see that same thing for a long time. So it hurt as little bit, but a lot to be proud of for sure. Today was a great day. We all want to win, its just competition. Id be lying if i said i didnt want to win, but i realize the opportunities im going to have this year. Im going to have a lot more opporttnities to win races. I feel like we did everything we could, everything right today to put ourselves in position to win. Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they dont. Oh, man, i wanted to see that daytona 500 parade through downtown. The 78 car, riding down 17th street. Martin holding up the big trophy. 4th place in the chase last season.

But last night, what he did for love was trying to come to grips with his outstanding and historic achievement. It feels like ages. But then again, when you think of it, it feels like yesterday.

Hang another banner. Wee been close all three years that ive been here. Havent made it to the frozen four, but weve been a bounce thhs teams determined.
