Fox just gave a great definition of why they're racing this way. The new surface at Daytona enables (or requires if a driver wants to win Daytona) two cars to join together and have twice the horsepower as one car. In short, two cars linked like that go over 200 mph, while one car is barely cracking 195.

I think it's cool how these NASCAR drivers are able to adapt to such varying track conditions throughout the year. They have serious talent.
