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?

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
Dale Jr slams his pit crew (thought kevin was the only one?)

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.

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:
