For the first time in recorded history, 49<\/strong> of the 50<\/strong> United States have snow on the ground. It started snowing yesterday during lunch and didn’t stop until sometime last night. And we’re not talking your typical Georgia dusting. This is how it looked<\/a> when I got home from work yesterday.<\/p>\n

NASCAR News – Jimmie won Duel Race #1<\/a> on Thursday and Kasey – my husband – Kahne won Duel Race #2<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0I was having a good fan day to say the least. \u00c2\u00a0Smoke came in second to Kasey!<\/p>\n

So the big race is tomorrow. \u00c2\u00a0Everything was rained out yesterday. \u00c2\u00a0The high in Daytona today is supposed to be in the 40s. \u00c2\u00a0Boy am I glad I didn’t get tickets for that race! \u00c2\u00a0Tomorrow will be in the 50s which isn’t a good temperature for chill haters like me!<\/p>\n

To continue…Due to rain yesterday in Daytona, the truck race was rescheduled for tonight. The Nationwide race was already scheduled for Saturday –\"\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0they just missed out on \u00c2\u00a0qualifying. \u00c2\u00a0So the cars lined up based on last season’s standings with Kyle and Carl up front. \u00c2\u00a0Menard bumped Chrissy Wallace in the first lap, spun her around and caused the first caution. \u00c2\u00a0When they got started again, another caution took out quite a few cars including Danica in her Nationwide series debut. \u00c2\u00a0This one caused by Bliss bumping someone. \u00c2\u00a0The rest of the race was relatively calm with a few small incidences until something happened between Carl and Bradley K (possibly side-drafting, possibly Carl making a really dumb move) and Carl tapped BooBoo’s bumper and he turned toward the wall then flipped. \u00c2\u00a0It was a mess – to say the least, but Jr came out okay. \u00c2\u00a0In the end the Nationwide Race<\/a> was a rather exciting finish with Tony Stewart holding Dewey Alligator off and winning.<\/p>\n

The truck race<\/a> was also a melee and Timothy Peters got his second career win as Todd Bodine crossed the start finish line sideways(literally). \u00c2\u00a0Johnny Benson is back this season. Ted Musgrave was inthe race (though he was taken out of contention in a wreck caused by Ricky Carmichael hitting Horny’s bumper turning him into the wall and causing a mess. Ricky was so sad and apologetic and Horny said he couldn’t be mad at him. \u00c2\u00a0Nelson Piquet Jr made his NASCAR debut and did okay. \u00c2\u00a0Jennifer Jo Cobb was caught up in one of the early wrecks and taken out. \u00c2\u00a0Not a great start to her Rookie of the Year campaign.<\/p>\n

Four Wallaces racing at Daytona: Chrissy Wallace will start 35th today in the Nationwide race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, and that will help her family make NASCAR history. Added with father Mike Wallace, cousin Steve Wallace and uncle Kenny Wallace, it’s the first time four family members have been<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
