Hour 21

When we last met, kids, Danica had finished her second stint and Wallace had jumped back aboard for his third. The three-time Rolex 24 winner pulled yet another strong run, moving the No. 2 Gentleman Jack Pontiac Crawford up to 12th in the running order. Finlay then pulled his third turn at the helm and is currently 10th. He actually moved the Childress-Howard Motorsports entry into the top 10 while Wallace was meeting with the gathered throng of national and international press inside the media center. Read just what he had to say in the graphs below:

"We still have some of the problems we had earlier, which is an electrical glitch. We think we somehow managed to cut through the wiring loop and it's shorting out on the chassis. What it's actually doing is popping the electrical system out. There's alarms going off all over but the car is still running, and quite well at that. We actually found the one short that was stopping the car from running but now we don't know where the other one is. We just know, somewhere in there, there's a short.

"There's security staffing following Danica and Casey everywhere. Everybody wants to talk to them and get something signed. So, for Rob and I, it's a holiday really. We can just go through and nobody knows who we are. I think it's perfect and we should do it every year, really.

"Rob is a particularly successful businessman and his hobby is motor racing. You wouldn't tell it from his lap times because he does a fantastic job. But, of course, if there's anything I can help him with, I will. I told him he could go flat through the corner and there he was, on cold tires, going flat through thar particular corner. He came back in and said, 'It's not very nice when it's on the grass.' I've learned now and I can adjust what I tell him. He actually has great concentration in the car. It's easy to do five or 10 laps in a car. Sitting there for a couple of hours ... that's difficult. Rob is well capable of doing that and it's great.

This Hour 21 blog will be posted at approximately 1 p.m. EST, so we're actually into Hour 22 but I hope you won't hold that against me. We'll gather up again for a final rundown of the 2009 Rolex 24 at Daytona sometime around 4:30.
