Daytona 500

[ezgoinrob]

Who's watching and who are pulling for?

[ezgoinrob]

GO JR!!!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Lets get it on, brother!!!

Hopefully no dead spectators today.

I'd like to see Mark Martin win, sentimental wish I guess.

[wctriumph]

Yep. I am pulling (!?!?) for the little lady.

[OtterbatHellcat]

It would be great if Danica could win it, I'd be really happy with that.

Any bets on when the Big One happens? I say between laps 100 and 150.

[car-15]

I'm watching it moderation as I despise the cat and mouse drafting bs at this track, so I don't get into it to much.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Plate racing sucks, 15.

I've never really approved of the idea....I've been a fan since '85 or so, it was more fun back in the day.

[ray1970]

Probably wont watch. I've got better things to do with my time than watch a bunch of rednecks drive in circles. But, I'd like to see Danica at least finish in the top five.

Quote of the race so far... "Danica takes off from the pole" Bwahahaha

[jerrymrc]

I have been a Tony Stewart fan since way before nascar. Have a shirt signed in 95. Also a big fan of some of the underdogs but that is because of where they came from. JJ Yeley is a great guy as well and it is a shame that Mike Bliss missed the show.

And before the basher's start I will admit that some of the races are boring but please remember that most of the fans are also big second amendment supporters. [Wave]

lap 33 took out a few.

[wyome]

Go Jeff Gordon #24!!!!

[Ridge]

I'm rooting for Richard Petty.

Nope. The quote of the day was by James Franco; "Drivers, and Danica, start your engines."

I'll root for Martin until he wins The 500. Otherwise I like Joey Logano and Tony Stewart. My wife is from Daytona and I lived there a couple of years. Race week is a ball. The track is literally across the street from the mall and it is HUGE. I could hear practice/race at my apartment. Some locals decal their cars out and look like replicas of their favorite drivers. You can get on the infield cheap with an RV and stay all week.

I've only seen one race live and that was a Firecracker 400 race (Pepsi 400, Coke 400 etc) around the 4th of July. It's hard to see on TV but when cars/drivers are faster than others you can really tell. Tony Stewart was so fast that day. He eventually won. There's nothing like standing by the fence at the end of the front stretch and lean into it as the pack comes down at around 200mph. If you ever get the chance, take it. Daytona is way better live than on TV. Much more subtle and the camera doesn't really pick it up well.

[DomEOD]

Gordon!

I wouldn't mind seeing some racing happen though.. This has been a fairly boring 500 so far.

[ezgoinrob]

yep pretty dry so far.. hope this new car doesnt mean single file racing.. or they will start making changes to it as soon as tomorrow.

[Stevensje]

It would be great if Danica posed nude In Playboy.

[ezgoinrob]

It would be great if Danica posed nude In Playboy.

that might get more "pullin" for her!!

[car-15]

its always great to see the toyotas getting pit crew powered back into the garage.

[OtterbatHellcat]

LOL , 15..I agree.

I also agree that the majority of nascar fans are PRO A2 for sure.

[BPTactical]

The girls driven a good race-kudos to her.
6 laps

[car-15]

yep, she has a good chance, she is in 3rd with 1 left.

[car-15]

johnson wins she took 8th.

[BPTactical]

Bummer she dropped to 8th.
Lack of experience, I think she was waiting for yellow.

[ezgoinrob]

Gratz to Jimmie Johnson.. thought Jr was going going to get it.. just not enough track left... Great finish to a fairly boring race!

[DomEOD]

Damn damn damn! I saw Martin creeping into the front and was hoping for a move but he didn't get the chance.


But cheers to Hendrick for a 1-2 finish!

[wyome]

great race ending....plate racing blows

[jerrymrc]

Yep. Yeley was 10th. Good run. I can't wait to see the trucks run on the dirt this year.[Flower]

[Mtn.man]

Yep was hoping Mark would finally get it, he is a cousin of mine.

Danica did good then opened her mouth after the race. (the blame game geez)
I say paint her car pink and put rubber bumpers all the way around it.

[MarkCO]

She did a good job in what looked to be the best car on the track. Give her another 10 starts and she might be able compete for a win.

Wish the women shooters would take more pointers from the female racers and shun the "Championship" labels for a 50th place finish.

Really bummed that Stewart is starting the season like 40th in points due to another Buschead mistake. Good finish for Newman. Based on the cars Danica and Ryan had, Stewart probably would have been top 3 if he had not been wrecked. I'd love to see a 1-2-3 SH team finish sometime this year.

She'd put you in the wall in like 10 seconds and never ever blink. [Beer]

[Gman]

Danica did pretty well I must say.

...but her attitude has always been pretty ugly.

[Mtn.man]

A bitch is a Bitch.

[Mtn.man]

That is what she does best in NASCAR.

[MarkCO]

Danica did pretty well I must say.

...but her attitude has always been pretty ugly.

For being 5', 105 pounds, hot and female in the environment she works in...I'd say she has an awesome attitude. The vast majortiy of women would be in tears, an emotional wreck and screaming sexual harassment 5 times a week. The NASCAR garages are not drunken brawls per se, but they are not what anyone would call PC.

[sniper7]

Just got to watch the highlights. Airport was a freaking mess today....

[vossman]

Didn't hear her comments, will have to look it up. Not a fan of all the #10 hype although she was fast and clean today.

Just got off work, turned on the TiVo. My buddy Brandon Davis owns swan racing so I am pulling of mike Wallace although he's not the normal driver. Go Swan racing
