Elliott Sadler, Jeff Gordon win Twin 150s

Jeff Burton & Jeff Gordon will still be in the front row of the Daytona 500. The point of Thursday's Gatorade Twin 150s was to set the rest of the field. Elliott Sadler in the #38 M & M's Ford won the first race and Jeff Gordon in the #24 Dupont Chevy won the second race. But the big news was that veteran field filler Kirk Shelmerdine in the #27 Chevy made the Daytona 500 and Scott Riggs in the #10 Valvoline Dodge did not. Shelmerdine's car is unsponsored and though I don't expect Riggs to drive the car because it's a Chevy, it's likely that Valvoline & Ray Evernham will sponsor the #27 for the race. Shelmerdine said his lawyer is in Daytona and potential sponsors are welcome to talk to her.
