Racing season is here, and so is our weekly Monday feature "Track Talk."  First up, we give props to Grit's Stacy Compton, who finished sixth in Friday's trucks opener at Daytona. Then Sunday in the 500, tough day for Hendrick Motorsports, Jeff Gordon dropped out with a suspension problem and finished 39th, Jimmie Johnson wound up 27th, Dale Earnhardt, Junior the top Hendrick car in ninth.

Penske Racing pulled the big surprise with great teamwork on the final lap.  Ryan Newman with a big push from teammate Kurt Busch earns his first win in more than two years and gives owner Roger Penske his first Daytona 500 win to go with 14 Indy 500 victories.

ABC 13 myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?Ryan Newman, Daytona 500 Champion - To stand in victory lane with Roger Penske, we miss Don Miller the old president of the team, but to stand in victory lane with him and to get that first win for him in the 500 here is a dream come true.  And I thank him for all the things he does and the opportunity that he's given me."
