“All four of our cars were fast yesterday, I had a
feeling it was going to be a good week,” Kenseth said.“We have a lot of racing left to do, but all
our cars have speed.”
Kenseth, who went winless in 2014 following a 2013
season that saw him pick up seven victories, said he was happy to return to
victory lane.
“It’s a great feeling,” Kenseth said.“It’s always fun to win at Daytona for sure,
but it’s fun to win anywhere.It’s been
a year, so I’m really proud of this whole team at JGR…everybody’s been working
really hard.”
NASCAR’s annual exhibition race at Daytona marked the
official kick-off to the 2015 season.
The race, which was split into two segments, was
primarily uneventful until the end of the first 25-lap segment.Brad Keselowski spun in front of the field,
but he was the only driver involved in the accident.
The second segment, a 50-lap sprint to the finish, was
marred by multiple multi-car wrecks.The
three wrecks caused the race to be red flagged twice.
The first of these accidents was the infamous “big one”
that affects restrictor-plate races.Jamie McMurray spun in front of the field, and he collected 13 other
cars.Other drivers involved included
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart.
The second wreck broke out about 15 laps later.Ricky Stenhouse Jr. cut down a tire in the
middle of the field, and he collected Austin Dillon and Danica Patrick.
After the race went back to green, it didn’t take long
for another major accident to break out on the backstretch.Tony Stewart got turned in front of Greg
Biffle, and that accident also collected Kurt Busch.
The entire Sprint Cup Series returns to action on
Sunday afternoon, when they will qualify for the Daytona 500.That session will set the front row for the
Great American Race, and Thursday night’s Budweiser Duels will set the rest of
the field.NASCAR’s biggest race will
take place next Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST.

The new year is here, and one of my most popular blog features is back -- the 10 movies I'm most looking forward to in 2015! Along with the list, the release dates for the movies will take you to their respective pages on IMDb.
10. Inside Out (June 15, 2015) Inside Out will be this year's movie from Disney Pixar. I love everything Disney and Pixar put out, and this one looks like it's going to be pretty funny. Plus this will bring Lewis Black into a Disney movie, which is the strangest pairing on this list.
9. Poltergeist (July 24, 2015)
So apparently they are remaking 1982's Poltergeist. There's no poster or anything up on IMDb yet, so I'm not quite sure if it's going to happen. Although, Sam Raimi, director of the original Evil Deadand the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, is attached to the project, so it should be good if it does happen.
8. Insurgent (March 20, 2015) So my girlfriend finally forced me to watch Divergent in December. I really thought it was going to be stupid like Twilight, but it actually turned out to be pretty awesome. I absolutely loved it, and I really can't wait to see the sequel.
7. Fantastic Four (August 7, 2015)
I haven't seen the original Fantastic Four in awhile, and I don't even think I've ever seen Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but my recollection is that they both kind of stink. Hopefully this one is a little bit better, and if it follows every other superhero movie that has come out in the past few years, it should be.
6. Friday the 13th (November 13, 2015)
This movie is probably even less likely to come out in 2015 than Poltergeist. IMDb says the movie is still "in development," which is basically movie speak for "not gonna happen anytime soon." If it does come out this year, I'll be in the theater on opening night. I love a good slasher horror movie.
5. Insidious: Chapter 3 (June 5, 2015) Insidious was one of the best horror movies I've seen in the past few years. And Insidious: Chapter 2 was a really cool place to take the franchise. I'm really excited to see how this prequel turns out.
4. Jurassic World (June 12, 2015)
This movie looks crazy. All of a sudden Chris Pratt has started popping up in everything awesome, and this movie should be another one. The trailer looked crazy, and I've always loved the Jurassic Parkfranchise.
3. Ant-Man (July 17, 2015)
When this movie was announced, it got about the same reaction of "WTF" as Guardians of the Galaxy. But it's a Marvel movie, so it should be absolute gold. I'm really excited to see it in the summer, and it has Paul Rudd, so you know it'll be funny.
2. Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1, 2015)
Seriously, this is obviously one of the movies I'm most looking forward to in 2015. I can't wait to see Ultron up on the big screen, and it is going to get crazy. I always look forward to the next movie in the Avengersseries, so I've been looking forward to this since Guardians of the Galaxy in August.
1. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (December 18, 2015)
This movie being my top movie of 2015 is a no-brainer. I loved Star Wars as a kid, and I even loved Episode Iwhen it came out. Of course, as I grew up I realized what a monster Jar-Jar was, but this one is going to be amazing. I seriously can't wait until December.
Thanks for reading! Leave a comment below with the movies you are most looking forward to in 2015.
