Expect the unexpected: It's the Daytona 500

JoeP@TeamBeckyD · 02-26-2012, 09:08 AM

The new-old thing for Sunday is a return of the pack.

It will most likely will lead to a bunch of cars
going crunch today, just as they did during
last week's Budweiser Shootout and
in Saturday's Nationwide race.

The unanswerable question for the drivers is when and where.
Avoid any of the big ones and you've got a shot.
Get caught up in the big crunch and
your day is over and it's onto Phoenix for the next ride.

A bunch of money is on the line:
Daytona's $19,142,601 purse is the richest of the season.

Fast drivers in fast cars chasing lots of money....
in unpredictable packs.

Can't believe I'm rooting for a Ford, but hoping Edwards wins.

(Is there a race? Seriously?? I though there might be, but wasn't sure as I thought it was several hours of the Danica Patrick Show.

)

1COR.1:18 · 02-26-2012, 10:33 AM

I use to cheer for Mark Martin. But I see he is driving a Toy.
So I guess I will cheer for #42 Juan Montoya.

Go Team Chevy.

Don't sweat it, I'm rooting for a Dodge. LOL

They're just a bunch of stickers anyhow. Not really ford, chevy or dodge.

Sooooo true....I remember when they actually looked liked cars!

I'm not much of a NASCAR fan since the death of Sr., but I do like Edwards class.

CruznSS · 02-26-2012, 10:50 AM

Will be interesting to see how many drop back to avoid the "Big 1". After seeing so many wrecked out yesterday, wouldn't surprise me to see 10 or 15 in a second pack just running laps till the end.
