NASCAR - Daytona

Daytona night racing is some great racing. I didn't watch alot of the race because I was spending some quality with my sister-in-law and her hubby and my nephew and his new bride. We had the pleasure of being at their wedding. There are not too many things I will miss a race for, but marriage of a close relative in one of them. Congratulations David and Whitney...  It was a beautiful ceremony on the beach. We had a great time... Love you guys...

We did get the see the last 20 laps of the race and excitement was the name of the game during those last 20 laps... Let's see we saw Brad Keslowski spin out all by himself... 2 multi- car  wrecks, the first taking out 2 of the Gibb Racing teammates, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch... the second taking out Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and many others. Daytona is always an exciting race... I love how much racing goes on all during the racing and you never know what is going to happen.. Daytona never disappoints...

Congratulations Tony Stewart!!! You made those last couple of laps exciting ones... the pass you made on Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle was awesome.. you made it look easy...  the last big one happened behind you, while you were taking that checkered flag.. Looking good with 3 wins, securing you a spot in the chase...
