Michael McDowell takes Daytona 500, but NASCAR needs Bubba Wallace, Michael Jordan to win | Commentary

On Friday, one of the Twitter poll questions we were debating on our radio show included the question: Which potential winner would be the best story line for NASCAR at Sunday’s Daytona 500?

The four choices included: (1) Denny Hamlin getting a Daytona 500 3-Peat. (2) The great Kyle Busch finally winning his first Daytona 500. (3) Bubba Wallace winning driving Michael Jordan’s car. (4) Ryan Newman winning one year after his death-defying crash.

We could have had 25 choices and journeyman Michael McDowell winning his first Cup series race after 14 years of trying would not have made the list.
