NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2004 -- They call it "The Great American Race." The Daytona 500, NASCAR's richest and most prestigious competition, kicks off the season this Sunday, February 15, 2004. And the excitement will continue on Tuesday, February 17, when the winner sits down live with hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa on "Live with Regis and Kelly."

Some of the biggest NASCAR names have stopped by the "Live" studio in the past, including Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart. On Tuesday will it be a NASCAR veteran making a return visit or will Regis and Kelly welcome a new champion?
