Jimmy means into the wall...:watermelon: Kyle Petty fighting for the lead.

Harry Gant leads as Davey Allison pits.

Looks like Gordan is unretired.............again. LOL

From Jayski's;

#NASCAR radio channel asked how long would it take to dry track if rain stopped now and was given an estimate of 2.5 to 3 hours.

And it's still raining.

BTW - Kyle Petty just got wrecked out and is ready to fight. LOL

Ned Jarrett had a good day.

Dale Jarrett wins the 500. His dad, Ned, made the call;

"Come on, Dale! Go, buddy, go! All right, come on! I know he's got it to the floorboard; he can't do anymore! Come on! Take 'er to the inside! Don't let 'em get on the inside of you comin' around this turn! Here he comes, Earnhardt; it's the "Dale and Dale Show" as we come off Turn 4! You know who I'm pulling for, it's Dale Jarrett. Bring her to the inside, Dale! Don't let him get down there! He's gonna make it! Dale Jarrett's gonna win the Daytona 500!!!"
​

The next weekend at Rockingham, Ned reportedly apologized to Earnhardt for his obvious show of bias, to which an understanding Earnhardt replied, "I'm a daddy too."

The condensed version of the '93 500 was better than Darryl talking.

Baseball would be more fitting for your weather lately...who wants to be inside with those temps?

This is true. Mid 50s, sun and no wind equal no jacket......

More than a smile.

2nd wreck - JJ. Once again he DNF'ed the Clash. The 6th straight year!

Dale Jr is an excellent technical commentator for his limited time in the booth. He appears to be comfortable with it and Jeff can't get more than a few words in edge-wise.

Why wasn't Danica on his inside?
