Finally the Daytona 500 Race Thread

I dreamt about being in the 500 last night - but when I got to the track I was late for class and in my underwear - then the lions were chasing me :eek:
 
lol It just that 3 D-500 wins in a row was one hell of a wet dream.
I get to New Zealand for a few weeks a year, and they got some awesome go-karts there, that aren't lawyered down, thats about as close as I get to Daytona, but ,YUP, we can all dream...

Nice. I plan to go there some time. The landscape reminds me of Hawaii.
 
It really doesn't matter being behind on the outside at this point - at least you are in the pack.
 
I got a feeling things will heat up for that 200 grand at halftime, could be a wreck for that one.........

Think so? Yeah...maybe so....but 200K ain't that much for these guys...probably the TV time and comments are worth more (for the sponsor).
 
Thats my avatar, Wakai ki beach!! NZ is nice, just avoid Christchurch, the earthquake killed the city.

I knew it looked familiar. I had some good time on that beach. Have you been to Kaui or 7 pools on Maui? Or the "Toilet Bowl" behind Hanama bay? That place is a blast.
 
What if midway is run under caution? Just the way it goes, I guess.

Have not. Used to love the longboard, till they shut it down a couple years ago. But, hey,a lava flow, is a lava flow....LOL
 
It was good that Jeff used that "hand out the window" to warn the racers behind him that he was blowing an engine.

A move that he probably learned from Danica :p.
 
I like Jeff Gordon as a person and as a great driver but it sure is nice to see another Chevrolet out of the mix (and blow up).
 
Guess Jr is gonna have to push Kasey to the win now.
