Daytona 500 testing came to a close on Wednesday.


Here is a list of the cumulative speeds for both Daytona 500 testing sessions.

Kasey Kahne led the Wednesday testing session with a speed of 189.111 mph (47.591). Denny Hamlin, Dario Franchitti, Regan Smith, and Ryan Newman rounded out the top ten.

The buzz around the garage is that NASCAR may be considering increasing the age limit for drivers in the Sprint Cup series. Currently, the minimum age is 18; however, NASCAR may raise it to 21.

NASCAR is also considering altering the gear rule before the Daytona 500. As of now, teams can opt for a 370 or 375 gear. NASCAR would like to lower the RPM.
