MILES?

Daily Double: $800 How Many Miles? Alex has $2800 to Matt's $3200. Kerry's on the board with $1800. He's going for it again on this: one lap of the Daytona 5000 is this many miles. "What is ... 2 1/2?" RIGHT AGAIN FOR $5600!

Daily Double #1: $1200 How the East Was Won. Alex has $11,800 to Matt's $8400 and Kerry's $3200. He's going to.... bet $100 on this: Russian caravans got access to Beijing in a 1689 treaty with this dynasty that gave its name to a region. "What is ... Manchu?" JUST UNDER THE WIRE with $11,900!

Daily Double #2: $16,000 The Executive Branch. Matt has $10,000. He knows what to do. "Sorry, Mom. I'm betting it all." The clue: overseeing the FDA is one job of this Cabinet department. "What is the United States Department of Agriculture?" And it's all but over. It was Health & Human Services.

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$7,200	$18,700	$3,200

Even if Matt were to double his $7200 and add it to his $3000, it would still be a far-cry from Alex's total from yesterday. It was Alex's tournament to lose during the opening credits..
