Today's 50th running of the Daytona 500 has many indicators that can lead to
an educated guess as to who has the best chance of winding up in victory
lane.

Handling - the all important indice - being able to stay in the drafting
pack that is moving forward. The rest comes down to who is with you on the
last lap and how close you are on tire wear. The car and driver most capable
of running wide open laps on older tires will separate himself from the rest
of the field at Daytona - and the final element is pure luck.
