Too early? I don't think so. Not much to talk about when it comes to last weeks race. Moving on. I prefer Pepsi myself but I will have me some Coke Zero 400. I like the restrictor plate racing and Daytona is in my top 2 favorite restrictor plate tracks on the schedule. Wait, what?

Best part about this race, IM GOING!!!

Way cool, I have tickets in the Tower behind the start finish line, but, have sold them for the last 10 years or so, to the same guy. I want ever let them go. Just got tired of the ordeal of getting out after the race, getting in is a piece of cake.

Where are you sitting?

Classic DEI vs HMS
Jeff wins and throws Powerade off the car. Pepsi is king.
Awesome paint job

i think of fruit stripe gum when i see this car
 
I remember about 12 years ago +-, after the race Gordon was so wiped that he took down the top of his firesuit and had to set down when they interviewed him.

I remember that. But I thought it was at a road course? Whoops.

It may have happened at RC as well - not sure - but I believe the one I'm thinking of was the summer race as I remember thinking that Daytona in July is not for me :eek:
