People are interesting creatures. Some mix well together and others do not.

Have you ever met someone who you did not like? Yet that person has friends and they like each other. There must be something appealing about the person you didn’t care for. That appeal just matches up to someone else.

NASCAR drivers and crew chiefs can bring out the best or the worst in each other. A very talented driver can be paired up with a very talented crew chief and together they can achieve… mediocrity. Why? The same reason we pick our friends. Personalities are different and that meshing shows up on the racetrack.

The 2009 Daytona 500 was suspended after 152 of the scheduled 200 laps. Matt Kenseth, who led one green-flag lap, won his first Daytona 500 and his first race since winning at the final race of the 2007 season at Homestead.
