Seriously....If the Hendricks clan is as stout as I think they will be, you have to think JJ returns the favor for Jr at Daytona. The problem is to win you will have to have a partner to push and Jr said that he and Jim were faster with Jr doing the pushing. If thats the case then it will be nearly impossible for him to win it as the pusher. That'll be something to watch for in practice imo..
I can't wait to see it play out!
I don't think it's going to be as simple as one driver saying they'll get behind the other and push him. Depending on the different scenarios of the race, there may be no time to switch puller/pusher. If the 48 is in front of the 88 with <10 to go... they're not going to switch. They'll run it 'til it pops.

"Right behind Ambrose in Thursday’s practice session was none other than
RPM teammate AJ Allmendinger in the famed No. 43. The duo was also 1-2
in 10 consecutive lap average. Marcos’ best finish at the 2.5 mile
tri-oval track came in 2009 when he crossed the finish line in sixth
place."
While I don't put much stock into a single lap time, 10-lap average may mean a lot at this track. Liking my boys at the RPM camp to have a good showing.

I will tell you all this theres is a huge difference in guys that can push and those who are better being pushed. I talked to my source (No names) and he said it has something to do with the way the car sits.(Not motor like I thought) Here is a list of who I know pushes well.
Regan Smith
Harvick
Jr.
Keselowski
I look for 1 of these 4 to be directly behind the winner.
Back to drinking on the beach here in Aruba. Gonna sit in the swim up bar and watch the race.
