What happened to strapping in and running 500 miles? Stages are a joke.

And we are racing again!!
Caution lap 59, 24 got punted out of the main group on the back stretch into the inside wall by the 47 of Stenhouse. Free pass to the 51.
I always watch the Daytona 500 with great hopes Nascar will gain my interest again. Daytona is such an exciting track. Then, after two or three races, it wanes and becomes the same boring deal its been for a long time. I hope the new rules package fixes that.
....And the excitement gets dulled by seeing we still have stages. Strike one, Nascar. They need to get rid of that dumb idea.
The good news...Love the sound of those engine sand seeing the bumper to bumper freight train rip around those turns!

Sorry I didn't have as much for this race. At work and just had to get my Ford and Mazda special and stock orders in before 4 my time
Did I mention anywhere else that I am the fill in parts manager for my dealer? Its actually pretty cool, but a TON of extra work.

Hoping Newman is ok. I remember the July Daytona race when Austin Dillon went into the fencing and Jr wouldn't do anything until he knew Austin was ok.

Dang prayers for Newman , very hard hit. The roll cage on the drivers side was severely bent in. Not the place you want to see a driver hit.
I've had enough of the green-white-checker finishes. Six of the last ten Daytona 500's have had them, and it always ruins the end of the race. Ending under caution was always OK with me, but NASCAR got a bug up its [censored] about having green flag finishes, basically fixing a problem that didn't exist. Many drivers have been injured and a lot of race cars have been torn up over the years. Enough is enough.
