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. TP

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.

Not >particularly realistic, eh? 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... Jason
