Editor-in-Chief's Note: Check out Ferrari's hot new F1 Concept here. Too bad the current Ferrari F1 car doesn't look anything remotely close to it. - PMD

Jeff Gordon (No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet SS), with his crew chief Alan Gustafson, captured the Daytona 500 pole for the second time in his career on Sunday. Gordon will be joined on the front row with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet SS, shown with his crew chief Chad Knaus. The duo will still have to run the twin, 150-mile "Budweiser Duels" on Thursday evening, which will determine the rest of the qualifying order, and which gives us all a chance to witness more on-track mayhem. This will be the last full-time racing season for Gordon, who is now 43-years-old. See more on Daytona in "Fumes."

This is what the Chevrolet-developed aero packages - for road courses and short ovals - will look like for Chevrolet-powered racing machines in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series. “This new aero kit provides Chevrolet drivers the capability to enter and exit corners faster, while maintaining high speeds on the straights,” said Chris Berube, Chevrolet IndyCar program manager. “We took a clean-sheet approach to the aero kit, delivering an optimized and efficient design that should really give our Chevrolet teams an edge,” said Berube. A speedway configuration for the aero kit, designed for high-speed ovals, will be introduced ahead of its competitive debut at Indianapolis in May. The all-new Chevrolet racers will compete for the first time at the IndyCar opener on March 29 at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Fla.
