An amazing performance by danny o'quinn led him to a 5th place finish in the race at daytona today....he avoided a huge wreck in the last lap...which took out more than ten cars.Tony stuart came out the winner..he also made an awesome performance....dale jr. made a costly decision not to go for tires late in the race that was probably the deciding factor in the race. Congratulations to Danny O'Quinn for an awesome performance! Good luck in the future!
and where did you get this info from??
Probably a thing called the televison [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Well what a nice smart [censored] we have here!!
saw it on tv watched close and wrote what i saw cause i thought you guys would like to know...it was on TNT today....
i think he finished around 10-20
Whoa..I was just kidding with ya...sorry, won't happen again.

I just checked myself at nascar.com and it said 20.
on the postrace it said danny o quinn "5?" because they had trouble straightening out the field bc of the wreck...my mistake...
He also got called to the Big yellow truck today to for not letting the lucky dog go around him...The guys in the booth kinda thought that was funny.
yea i think that it was bc he didnt understand the lucky dog rule...its okay he will learn...i think that it is exciting to see a local boy get paired up with THE BEST owner in nascar...hopefully he will make it on to nextel cup...hes a great driver....with some time i think he will be great
I think everyone kinda knew that he wouldnt do good at Daytona. He is driving for roush and roush never has good cars at the restrictor plate tracks.
Isn't O'Quinn like 20-21 years old? I was thinking that I read a story on him in the Coalfield like 2-3 years ago and he was like a senior in high school.
Anybody know his actual age?
He is 20.
I thought so.
Thanks.
That's amazing... 18th place out of 43 cars, and he came in right behind Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's crazy to see how far Danny has moved up, and to know that he's at Daytona, and racing on the same track as such guys as Dale Earnhardt Jr. - whom you see all over the place.
He started at the Lonesome Pine Raceway in Coeburn, and he's finally with the big boys now. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
A huge congratulations from me... he's definitely gotten far in a very short amount of time.

who you talking to?
Overall I think Danny did a fantastic job. He ran pretty well all day and managed to avoid all the usual Daytona wrecks. Great especially considering it was his first time running in the Busch series. I think he will be racing Cup cars in the very near future.
I can agree with you there. Did I just say that? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Danny was pretty smart I thought, and I am sure it was at the encouragement of Roush and others. He said he wanted to drop back, and log some laps to get experience. A top 20 finish isn't a bad way to start a season when your needing to crack the top 35 in points in a few races so you are guaranteed a spot in the races afterward.

Danny had a rough ARCA race finishing last after getting wrecked very early. But the way he come back in the Busch race speaks volumes about him as a race car driver. I can't wait to see how he tackles Fontana, CA on Sunday. I would like to see Danny get his first win at Bristol. What a homecoming story that would make. Good job and good luck Danny!!!
