Agree, but the " dickhead" can drive!!! Should have "wrecked" a couple of times, but he saved it!!! Iwas amazed to see him sideways at 190+ & not LOSE the car.

flatduck · SUDBURY, ONT

great race fun lot of action

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

Qualifying going on right now....Looks like the Fords are going to be up front, might change yet

flatduck · SUDBURY, ONT

i think i ll go downstair check it out

2drpost · KETTLEBY, ONT

yep, roush fords on the frt row.

taking thursday a/noon off to watch the twin 150s, there's sure to more carnage.

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

Those Fords seemed to be "loaded up " with serious horsepower

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

The Fords do look good but this is Daytona and there is only 1 more race here and the only other track close is Talladega. I think that H

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

Damn cat, I think Hendrick looks the best. With all the different teams that are associated with them the feed back would be second to none. They are also the only team that has not had to fight to find sponsorship for all of their cars.

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

What happened to Michael Waltrip? I feel bad for Danica. She hit that wall hard. Cool to see the in car camera shot when she hit. She took both hands off the wheel and put them on each side of her helmet. I think she will do well in Sprint cup.

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

Waltrip finished 18th...He should be in, I think.....

I am not sure about Ms Patrick going 500 miles.......

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

Second race was pretty tame. Those Chevys look like they can't keep cool.

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

Sunday should be a "GOOD ONE" sorry that Kenny Wallace didn't make it,I was rootin for the under dog. As for Danica, I think she performed well, was running inthe top 10 for quite awhile & no fault of her driving that she was "taken out" in the accident. She had the "smarts' to let go of the wheel just before she hit the wall at 180+ mph. or she would have broken her wrists!!!! Now how many of the little guys will drop out after the 1st or 2nd. lap due to "lack of Funds"

Here is the lineup for the Daytona 500.......If you are in my pool, you may want to know who is in and who is not.

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

Don't know if I should just work 1/2 day in the shop on the 52 & come in to watch the race or have the TV on in the garage & "likely" not get much work done on the car!!! OH wait a minute, there's BEER in the fridge in the garage!!! Well that settles that doesn't it!!!!!

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

Its a beautiful day in Daytona for the start of the season. Drivers , START YOUR ENGINES!

workin class · FINCH, ONT

I am sure the Phoenix cars and equipment is on the way there already....the crews can fly out there as soon as this one is over...Probably no day off this week though.

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

Must be NICE to have "back up car haulers" as well as back up race cars!!! Certainly out of my reach!!! Enough trouble with 2 'classic" cars!!!!

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

They will run it They don't have to go the whole distance 1/2 the laps and then stop for rain??

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

They should race the cars to Phoenix,,,Now that would be interesting....lol

flatduck · SUDBURY, ONT

did you really drop the price of your car to that much $8900.00or is that a mistake

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

No backup haulers, they just said on Speed that all the Phoenix cars are the shops in North Carolina. The teams will have to drive back up there,make the switch,then head west. If the race doesn't go to night, they will bring all the cars & equipment down to Daytona, & switch it there, after the race, then head out to Arizona!!!!!

workin class · FINCH, ONT

lady and gentle men start your engines 7:00 O clock night racing. BEEEER ME.

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

Yep its gonna be a very expensive race! 1st caution 600 feet into lap 2!

Brianandhisbad55 · OTTAWA, ONT

Jimmy Johnson sure took a hard hit off the wall. Just saw Jeff Gordon blow up.

Lots of bad luck tonight so far. Hopefully things settle down.

VirgilHilts · BELWOOD, ONT

Holy fire on the track!!! Insane!

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

Now I have seen everything! Unbelievable!!! My guess is they will call the race. I dont think they will be able to race on that track.

RAT BOY · TORONTO, ONT

Nuts...

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

Awesome IF it rains... Blaney (the underdog) could win 1.5 million

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

Looks like they are going to finish this thing.
Attention! All drivers on the shuttle buss!

39poncho · BELLEVILLE, ONT

It should be a great dash to the finish. I think we havent seen the last caution yet.

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

Don't holler at me BUT I'd love to see 88 win wink

Brianandhisbad55 · OTTAWA, ONT

Riddle:

How many Nascar drivers does it take to set a jet dryer on fire?

It only takes Juan!!

Modfather · VICTORIA HARBOUR, ONT

Yes just Juan a hole. That sum bitch cost me watching the last of the race. There was no way I was going to make it until one or two in the morning. I guess we will see the replays. I also wanted to see what Earnhart was going to do on the last lap.
