NASCAR- Daytona 500

NASCAR - Daytona 500 - rain delayed 6 hours and 20 minutes - I really love night racing... the resuming of the race started with more than 100 laps of green flag racing... then the wrecking began, right up to the last lap... 5 different incidents ...taking out 27 cars all totalled... 2 cars had engine problems, Truex Jr. and Bowyer and Stewart had fuel cell issues. The racing was good, edge of your seat, restrictor plate race. It was nice to see side by side all race and not follow the leader... It was some great racing when they weren't wrecking... Very glad to see the close racing again...

Congratulations Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Dale Jr. has made it in Victory Lane at Daytona for the second time, 10 years apart, may 4 is his lucky number? His car was strong and could stay out front. He was quite excited for this 2nd Daytona win. He even said it was better than the first one... Way to go Dale Jr., Steve LaTarte and the whole 88 National Guard crew!!!\\
