Daytona 500 gets back underway

Date published : 14 Feb 2010 - 23:37:37

The Daytona 500 has been restarted for a second time after another red flag stoppage to carry out track repairs.A hole has developed in the asphalt between Turns 1 and 2 twice during today's race, forcing a one hour and 42 minute stoppage on lap 122, and then another 45 minute delay on lap 161 when the hole reopened.Course workers used a different method to seal the hole during the second red flag and are optimistic that the race can now proceed as planned to the full 200-lap distance.Darkness has now fallen over Daytona, with five and a half hours having elapsed since the race initially began. Kevin Harvick currently leads from Juan Pablo Montoya under yellow prior to the race resuming in earnest.
