Welcome to The Speed Blog’s  coverage of the 49th Daytona 500. We will be live blogging during the running of the opening round of the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season.

Before the race starts I’ll make my prediction that we will be seeing Tony Stewart in victory lane.  We’ll also be keeping a partcular watch on “rookie” Juan Pablo Montoya and on Jeff Gordon as he tries to come from the back of the field.
