Does anyone know where to find this year's qualifying speed and time (and
weather conditions) for Jeff Green's pole at Daytona?  Can't find it on
NASCAR.com.  Would like the same for what the leaders were running during
the race, too.

I have no idea what the weather conditions were like and I don't have
the fastest race speed, but the fastest Happy Hour lap was a
47.327/190.166 by Ricky Rudd and the pole went to Jeff Green with a
48.230/186.606.

By comparison 100% AI in N2003 runs 46.0 in qualifying and 44's during
the race with top (not average) speeds around 202-203mph (!).  Not
particularly realistic, eh?

I kinda hope that Papy tones down the restrictor plates a bit in a
patch because it would help with the ridiculous corner entry speeds
that make it damn near impossible to keep the car from pushing into
the wall.

Actually, I just double checked.  Qualifying speeds for 100% AI are
between 187-192mph, and my fastest lap in the draft is 202.977.
Elliott's track record unrestricted is 210.  The qualifying times in
the game are faster than the race times in real life...
