Yet another 200-miler suffers from controversy, snafus, and a contentious finishdespite some of the best racing ever seen at the Speedway.
Anyone who watched the live TV telecast or was present at the Speedway for the 2011 edition of the Daytona 200 now knows that the race—once againwas beset with snafus, controversy, and for 2011, a major midrace delay. Despite the fact that the on-track action was some of the best ever seen at Daytona, it’s impossible to overlook the two-hour red flag delay caused by front tire issues that spec-tire supplier Dunlop wasn’t prepared for, or that the race only ran 143 miles instead of 200, and the last 52.65 miles (15 laps) were the only ones that really counted.
