Daytona 500 Stays First—Smoke’s Take Divides Fans

NASCAR just confirmed the Daytona 500 will keep its spot as the season opener, despite Tony “Smoke” Stewart stirring the pot by saying the race has lost some of its old-school prestige. Stewart argues that anyone can win it now, making it less special than it was in the days of legends like Jeff Gordon and The King. Still, NASCAR’s survey shows fans overwhelmingly want Daytona to kick things off. What do you think—should tradition win out, or does Smoke have a point? #Daytona500 #NASCAR #TonyStewart #RacingDebate #Motorsports #Sports
