Hey Musky, you get to plow snow???? Not for us ... rain ... 6:30 is appointment time for a couple who wants to get married ... might be a short counseling session!!!!! An hour delay on the start would be good! Priorities, man, priorities! :facepalm:

Hey 'Speck,
Nope. The last round went north of us. Waiting to see what happens this week. 100% chance of snow Tues. nite and Wed. For sure it will miss us now! I'm sure that couple wouldn't mind a short session too. Especially, if one of them is a NASCAR fan..lol

DW and Mikey have been mentioned. Another pair I don't care for. What's this boogity all about? Rolly eyes(wish my smilies would work more times than not)! DW complained how he wasn't selected in the second round for NASCAR's hall of fame. When he did make it in, he stated that's the model NASCAR should use for future Hall of Famers. Then he said what a great accomplishment it was, which it was, but shouldn't he let his peers say that?? Don't break your arm DW! Mikey is a team owner who needs to concentrate on the team and not so much of this calling the truck races AND NOW part of Fox's pre-race show. Now Fox has 2 Waltrips. Bleh...... JMO..(ooooo, that one worked).

Is the race going to start soon????????(another one)!

Beginning to feel like Rip Van Winkle.

I stopped having favorites when there were no more Pettys, Unsers or Andrettis in the field. I do like to see expert car control and recovery.

Maybe Danica will get good enough to make us shout. She sure is cute and tough but I have several grandsons older than her.

Looked at the radar, 7 looks iffy at best. Nascar ever had a midnight madness start.

KB is exciting to watch, Not the best driver for the sport, unless he matures. Like DW said there are very few drivers that could or have done what he did last weekend.

Danica is all marketing hype for Nascar. Follow the money. Advertising dollars and female consumers for Nascar IMO

Speed just gave an update. Sounds like the track is about ready to go. They are watching rain to the S and NW and there is a 25% chance tonite. Crews will be allowed in the garage shortly.

Cross your fingers.......

Lipp just in case you don't have Nascar on your phone, they are on the track right NOW.

Green, green, green! Sorry Lipp..........

And wrecking too. What 1 lap?

 

[WIMUSKY]

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

Ddin't take long, WRECK lap 2(maybe 1). Johnson spun. Looks like he's done. Danica, who was way back and tried to avoid, has some damage but can continue... Check that, Danica is in the garage at the moment. She initially went back on the track...

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

I noticed JJ pulled his hands off the wheel (twice) like Danica did in her big wreck the other day. Maybe she's showing the boys something. Until she did it I don't recall any driver protecting the pinkies.

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

wreck on lap 2 wow. wonder why dannica didmt listen to her spotter post wreck and go low :facepalm:

 

[WIMUSKY]

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

There is some side by side racing, but, nobody is pushing and seem to be content where they are, no passing. Let the ride around begin. Pit stops will be the next excitement...

 

[GA_Boater]

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

Yep, everyone is just cruising right now. Pit stops should be coming soon.

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

They tried and made the halfway point such a big deal for 200k, that's chump change for most of those guys. Labonte looked like he wanted a piece of it until he spun. That I understand, I'm sure he could use the money. Jury is out whether or not he lost it, or, was spun...Tough to tell.... I first thought he was spun.... Danica is back out loggin' laps..... Gordon blew up. Hendrick is having a tough nite so far...

It's go time . . . rain looks like 20 mins away, but they're getting cranked up.

Re: Waiting for the Daytona 500 . . .

If you said Danica Patrick would finish ahead of both J Gordon and Jimmy Johnson before the race started, you coulda cleaned up tonight.
