ok.. here are the predictions....
Duel #1
Boris Said & AJ Allmendinger
I watched the practice sessions earlier today.. Allmendinger had some very IMPRESSIVE car control in traffic.. he looked fast and had a car that looked as good handling as Dale Jr.. I doubted him earlier this week, but he looked good. Boris Said was 4th here last July, he's got the car to do it..
Also, watch out for Bill Elliott.. he was good too
Duel #2
Paul Menard & Mike Wallace
Menard was consistently right in there in the practice & Mike Wallace is an experienced "draft-master", Wallace's car "sucked up" really good...
Also, look out for Vickers & Smith... Vickers was good in the session, he'll need to hook up with Skinner & Reutimann in this race, he was fast pushing Allmendinger in the practice session.. Smith was good in the second session, but inexperience may hurt him

Definitely wrong on #1.. Allmendinger's going home with a wrecked race car.. not his fault though.. Robby came down on him trying to avoid Brandon Whitt who was appearantly tight and had to check up to stay out of the wall.. too bad for Allmendinger

Less than 10 to go in Duel #1... and James Hylton would be IN the Daytona 500.. update as soon as the race ends

Duel #1.. Michael Waltrip & Boris Said get in.. because Said got in through the duel, that locks #00 David Reutimann into the Daytona 500
Mike Bliss, Kenny Wallace, Stanton Barrett, Brandon Whitt, James Hylton, Ward Burton, & AJ Allmendinger are going home for sure... Jarrett will need the PCP... Mayfield will be rooting for Sterling Marlin in duel #2, or else he will go home
btw, Bliss was within a few INCHES of making the race.. but goes home

also, Mayfield will be rooting for David Reutimann.. if Reutimann gets in through the race.. Mayfield would make it

Duel #2
Joe Nemechek & Mike Wallace make the Daytona 500.. Sterling Marlin backed out at the end to make sure Nemechek made the race, but also let Wallace by..
This means that.. Jeremy Mayfied goes home, along with Mike Skinner, Regan Smith, Paul Menard, Kevin Lepage, Brian Vickers, Frank Kimmel (who was in for a couple laps near then end before he got shuffled out), Eric McClure, Kirk Shelmerdine, & Derrike Cope
