The starting field for the 2012 Daytona 500 looks good for Jack Roush, Ford (Roush/Yates engines) and the champ, Tony Stewart. With Carl Edwards on the pole and teammate, Greg Biffle sharing the front row, with Tony Stewart, 2011 champ, and third Roush team member, Matt Kenseth in the 2nd row, the Harley Earle Trophy might have a Ford in its future, while Tony Stewart is one of those drivers like Dale Earnhardt Sr. who wins everything in sight at Daytona except the big one, could this be his year? Meanwhile, NASCAR’s most popular driver and former Daytona 500 winner, Dale Earnhardt Jr. shares the third row with perhaps a surprise, Regan Smith. Ford engines are so strong that what is surely a start and park team, the Phil Parsons owned #98 Ford driven b Michael McDowell starts 11th. The top 11 are all Fords (5) and Chevrolets before Joey Logano shows up as the top Toyota in 12th. Marginal entry and frequent parker, A.J. Allmendinger now in the #22 Penske entry is the top Dodge in 15th.
