Well, it’s time again to count down to The Great American Race. No other sport has its biggest spectacle as its first event, and this year’s 50th running of the Daytona 500 figures to be big.

So, I need your help. We’re working on our preseason section (comes out Feb. 10!) and want to do a list of the best Daytona 500s. And guess who’s going to rank them?

You.

We’ve all seen how I rank drivers (I had Juan Pablo Montoya and Kasey Kahne in the Chase last year, people), so we’re going to let you take over the center of our section. You’ll send me your favorites, with your reasons why, and we’ll even use some of your comments in the paper that day.

So, let loose. What are your three best Daytona 500s ever? Was it Dale Sr. finally winning it? Was it the Yarborough-Allison fight in the infield? Was it last year’s showdown between Harvick and Martin? You tell us.

You can comment here on the blog—maybe you’ll remind someone else of a good one—but for your vote to count, it has to be e-mailed to . I’ll take your votes and comments until Feb. 3.

Thanks, and thanks for reading.
