Title: Daytona Weekend
Post by: Libertas on February 21, 2013, 06:55:21 AM
Ahh yes, the first sign that spring cannot be too far off (well, south of the permafrost line anyway!), the start of a new NASCAR season - DAYTONA!

Sunday afternoon the 2013 season roars to life.

Danica Patrick gets the pole.

Big crash in Nationwide race, NASCAR initially blocked eyewitness postings then reversed.

I could be wrong, but I swear they are playing the same spooky music introducing the Sprint Cup drivers that was used in the Omen!

WTF?!

Why pretend the crash never happened?  That's just bizarre, trying to blackout news of it.

Yeah, it was kinda weird.  But then again ever since the younger generation started taking things over they've been running from their rebel moonshine-runnin' bad boy past, another foolish knee-jerk response that backfired on them.

The big race saw wrecks but nothing on the scale of the previous day.

JJ wins and once again Dale Jr is the bridesmaid.
