My first car was an Ivory colored 1950 ford. They don't get much more like a tank than that.

Let's stick to cars with numbers, friends. Back on subject.

And preferably with the number being the actual number of days until the Daytona 500

In 1953, NASCAR began issuing staged publicity photographs of mock racing action to local newspapers. Cars were parked sideways on the track, wheels ****ed to the right to depict the action readers might see if they attended a NASCAR Grand National event. Here, the cars of Fonty Flock (#14), Herb Thomas (#92), Tim Flock (#91), and Curtis Turner (#41) sit idle on the track.

Is it me, or did this gen race car just look more "racey"?

I remember that race very clearly. When you look at the car in the Talladega museum, you wonder just how the driver survived.

Yes, Chex, it did look racier.

I wanted to know exactly how long it is until the 2014 Daytona 500, well here it is.

So it gets a little confusing as to the exact number of days.

Although the number of days until Daytona in that countdown clock will change at about 1 p.m. central time, I consider the number that was displayed this morning to be "the number" until midnight.

That's cool but I suspect that others will have another take on it, after all this is RFs.
