Who's Hot
	Jeff Gordon (24) Beginning his 10th full season on the Winston Cup circuit, Gordon embarks on 2002 with an eye on his fifth points championship. Anyone have reason to doubt it won't happen?
	Kevin Harvick (29) Yes, Sunday will be Harvick's first Daytona 500, but he has raced a Winston Cup car at Daytona International. In July 2001, he qualified 10th and finished 25th in the Pepsi 400.
	Dale Jarrett (88) Hot for no other reason than being the fastest Ford before NASCAR yielded another quarter-inch on the spoiler. He was 13th in qualifying and finished sixth in the Bud Shootout.
	Terry Labonte (5) Often overshadowed by his Hendrick teammate (some guy named Gordon), Labonte was seventh in Daytona 500 qualifying and finished seventh in the Bud Shootout.
	Tony Stewart (20) After ending 2001 on a roll, Stewart continues to hold the hot hand. While only 20th in qualifying, he managed to win his second consecutive Shootout. A prelude to Sunday?
Who's Not
	Casey Atwood (7) The odd man out when Jeremy Mayfield joined Evernham, Atwood's qualifying effort with his first-year team (Ultra) was a disappointing 28th. ... And he ran only 11 laps in the Shootout.
	Kyle Petty (45) Call it a hunch, but the tea leaves just aren't brewing for Petty. He did not start in Saturday's qualifying, and does anyone expect this team to pull a rabbit from under the hood?
	Mike Skinner (4) Not a pretty start for Skinner with Morgan-McClure -- 47th fastest in qualifying. This team has struggled for a while, and Skinner may suffer during an inevitable period of adjustment.
	Jimmy Spencer (41) OK, so jumping from the Kmart car to Chip Ganassi's ride was fiscally sound, but the first round of qualifying yielded a less-than-stellar 44th-place showing. Spencer remains a bit off Target.
	Rusty Wallace (2) Wallace knows the lay of the land at Daytona, but finished 32nd in qualifying. We'll see how the spoiler change affects his efforts during the rest of the week. But for now, it's tough sledding.
