What's with you guys? No thread? Man, I go away and plow all day and this place falls apart......:lol:

I started watching my dvr and saw they were showing last years race. Decided to go live and saw they're still in a rain delay. Is this delay after 30+ laps? I see they're going to start the race at 8:30ET...........

We can't function without you, Musky. :lol:

They ran 39 laps and the skies opened. So you haven't missed much.

BTW - I think JJ won last year and Danica maybe was 8th. :laugh:

Re: Daytona 500

Obviously! :eek: (GAs comment.....)

GA - You're still awake. Must be getting close to your bedtime........:D I hope I can stay awake.......

So what is MW doing in the booth when he's in the race? Conflict of interest...... Can't understand the love affair NASCAR has with that guy and his brother.

And, I also don't like the new way they show positions on the track. All that jumping around of driver positions drives me nuts...... I prefer the old ticker............

I prefer them using rain tires and get the show on the road. :lol: Or maybe the pace car will torch again. :flame:

Quite a few peeps were taken in by the replay of last years race.

I want to see the first car in the grass/mud tonight.

Re: Daytona 500

I don't like the flippy position board either. Might be better if they showed the top three cars on top of the flipper.

At least we are racing again. I am not a fan of the position board either.

Hopefully FOX will do away with it shortly.... I bet they'll get plenty of complaints...... I see Burton is going to be an analyst for NBC. Thought he might do something along those lines.... Go Newman, #31!

Half way - Is the rain going to hold off? A bunch of it to the west.

Glad they are getting it run tonight, work internet doesn't allow streaming video.

I think Kasey just got the dirty end of the stick, but not much he can do about it.

What is worst than the position board on the tv is watching the Fantasy Board with live updates...I have gone up and down that board so many times I feel like a yo yo

That just messed up a few of us. 12 cars or more banged up?
