Jimmie Johnson has a new look this season. He's ditched his clean-cut image and let some facial hair grow. But some things haven't changed. The three-time defending champion doesn't even enter the season as the overwhelming favorite to capture the title. That honor belongs to 2008 runner-up Carl Edwards.
Heading into todays race though the man that has won this race three times maybe the car to watch, and that man is the driver of the No.24 Dupont car, Jeff Gordon. Gordon found the winners circle this week during speed week and is the favorite.
Rain is threatening to delay the start of the Daytona 500.
Intermittent showers were expected to move across Daytona International Speedway a few hours before the start of the NASCAR race, which could potentially delay the green flag. It takes about two hours to completely dry the 2 1/2 -mile superspeedway after a rainstorm.
NASCAR officials, though, were hopeful the season-opening race would be completed Sunday—even if the entire event had to take place under the lights and in prime time.
Local forecasts called for a 70 percent chance of rain and scattered showers all afternoon and throughout the evening.
