Surprise pole winner David Gilliland brought the field to the green flag to begin the 49th running of the Daytona 500. And early on he refused to give up the lead. Through 10 laps he was still the leader. Behind him were Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin.
Moving backwards was front row starter Ricky Rudd, who fell all the way to 20th by lap 15. Moving up the charts was Jeff Gordon, who won the second Gatorade Duel at Daytona on Thursday, but received a penalty in post-race inspection and was forced to start from the back of the field.
Boris Said spun on lap 17 in turn two to bring out the first caution flag of the afternoon and send everyone down pit road for adjustments, new tires and fuel.

Through green flag pit stops beginning on lap 62 and Stewart maintained the race lead with Kurt Busch glued to his bumper. The pair held more than a two- second margin over third-place Newman. The huge lead was short-lived as Newman led a four-car charge to reel the leaders in.
Kyle Petty brought out the day's second caution flag on lap 79. On the pit stop, Stewart stalled his car, got behind a pit-road accident involving Robby Gordon and Gilliland and came out 40th.
Stewart's error and a great pit stop by the No.29 RCR Chevrolet crew gave the lead to Kevin Harvick. Not for long, however as both Kurt and Kyle Busch quickly teamed up to pass him for the lead.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
