Krista Voda announces that this is the final afternoon Duels at Daytona. Beginning next year the Duels will be night races. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Night races at Daytona are typically BORIN!!! The fact that the most memorable thing from last year’s Daytona races was the exploding jet dryer incident. SAD!!! While that was a sight to behold, a unique occurance, it far exceeded the drama and excitement of the races at Daytona in 2012 (and 2011 and 2010 for that matter). This is not a great idea for these races. Continue reading “2013 Duels at Daytona”

I’m sitting here wishing, desperately, I could hear this team call the race on Sunday. Continue reading “My Ears Are Smiling”

On a cool and windy night the drivers head to the drivers’ meeting to prepare for the race formerly known as the Bud Shootout.
Jimmie Johnson is doing a half-marathon (13 miles) tomorrow to raise money for his charity – The Jimmie Johnson Foundation.
SpeedTV has the hokeyest voice-over on lots of stuff with the Sprint Unlimited. It’s like the ‘wacky’ TMZ voice-over guy doing NASCAR voice over. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TACKY!!! It is starting to feel like the people in charge of NASCAR programming on SpeedTV feel the same disdain about NASCAR as the anchors on ESPN. Continue reading “2013 NASCAR Sprint Unlimited at Daytona”

John Wes Townley has the pole for Venturini Motorsports and teammate Milka Duno has the spot next to him. Milka leads from the green flag, leading her first lap(s) in the ARCA series.
Caution on lap 14 for Julian Jousse who has been riding around with steam blowing out of the overflow valve for 11 laps. Eventually, predictably, he blew up. Continue reading “2013 ARCA – Daytona – Race 1”
