The NASCAR season got in gear Sunday with Chase Elliott beating out Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the pole at Daytona for a second-straight year.
NASCAR’s cup series will have a new sponsor this year, Monster Energy. The storyline ahead of the 59th running of the Daytona 500 was the sons of two Hall of Famers, Bill Elliott and Dale Earnhardt, starting in the 1 and 2 position.

Some were even calling for a return to more recent victory-lane fashions.
