CBSSports.com: The phone Brad Keselowski used to tweet during last night's red flag may have broken NASCAR rules. Should NASCAR look the other way on this one?

Kenseth Wins Daytona 500 Again
Matt Kenseth overcame a rain delay of more than 24 hours and a two hour red flag period to win the Daytona 500 for the second time.
Matt Kenseth Stays Cool To Keep Rivals At Bay To Claim His Second Daytona 500
Image by Getty Images via @daylife(Reuters) - Matt Kenseth held off Dale Earnhardt Jr and team mate Greg Biffle to win the Daytona 500 on Monday, leaving his rivals frustrated at their inability to sneak past him in the final laps.
Earnhardt narrowly missed out on a chance of a second Daytona 500 win as he was held off by Biffle, Kenseth's Roush-Fenway team-mate, for several laps before making a late burst into second.
The victory, with a green-white-checker finish adding two laps to the race, was Kenseth's second Daytona win following his triumph in a shortened, rain-affected event in 2009. MORE....

Daytona 500 Postponement Creates Logistics Nightmare
Image via WikipediaDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A.J. Allmendinger wanted to make it perfectly clear that rain delays aren't real hard on Sprint Cup drivers.
"Obviously, you want to go race," Allmendinger said after the Daytona 500 scheduled for Sunday was postponed until Monday at Daytona International Speedway. "But we get to race when we get to race.
"I know this sucks for people sitting out there in the stands because they've got to sit in the rain. But for us, we go in [our motorhomes] and we have push-up contests, we eat a lot of good food, and we have a good time."
The affable Allmendinger was only partly joking. Plus, he appears to have a good time just about all the time, no matter what he's doing.
But he's right. Sunday's rainout was merely a minor inconvenience for the drivers. It's the support staff around each of them that suffered the most -- and will suffer more if Monday's rescheduled 12:01 p.m. start can't go off as planned because of more rain that's in the forecast.
That's especially true with the next race on the Sprint Cup schedule being a long way away, geographically speaking, in Phoenix. Next Sunday's start is not so far away on the calendar. CONTINUE....
Rain Moves Daytona 500 To Under The Lights
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The Daytona 500 is going prime time -- weather permitting.
One day after being postponed by weather for the first time in its long history, NASCAR's biggest race was moved under the lights by more persistent rain that continued in the area Monday morning. The hope had been for the Daytona 500 to go green at 12:13 p.m. ET, but it soon became clear that the elements would not cooperate. Shortly after 10 a.m., series and track officials announced the event had been rescheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
Should the weather clear, it would mark the first time the Daytona 500 has started in prime time. It's ended under the lights before, but never gone green that late. Fox television will broadcast the event. READ ON....

Rain Leads To First Postponement Of Daytona 500
By David Caraviello, NASCAR.COM
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- History came to the Daytona 500 on Sunday, but not the kind that NASCAR wanted to make. For the first time in the event's long history, weather forced the postponement of the Great American Race to Monday.
After battling intermittent showers all day, NASCAR officials announced shortly after 5 p.m. local time that the 54th running of the Daytona 500 had been pushed back to noon Monday because of weather. Although NASCAR's showcase event had been shortened four previous times due to the elements, it had never been completely postponed -- until Sunday, when a gloomy forecast into the evening prevented any attempt at running the race under the lights.
The rescheduled event will air on Fox, and tickets will be available at the gate or the Daytona ticket office. CONTINUE....
