My kids and their friends are at the race.
I had an opportunity to go but have had my fill of crowds.
Hoping Michael Waltrip or Jr. win today.

[Jeff]

I'll be rooting for Danica  ;D

[LAZERDAN]

That was a great clip, Alot of stuff I did'nt know.  We'll be watching our homestate  Boy            Matt #20    would like to go someday.   Lazerdan

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I'm pulling for the number.....not the driver......but the #3.

[Mooseherder]

They've had enough and are headed back. 
The Radar has Daytona and north to Georgia covered in rain with it moving south.
Doesn't look good for a few more hours.

[clww]

I'm hoping the race gets a re-start today!
I've been getting so built up for this race, I hardly slept last night. NASCAR racing is my sport.

[Mooseherder]

They are shooting for an 8 pm restart.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I watched the start of the race......then the guy shows up to fix my well pump....took all afternoon.
When I came in, I saw Jimmie Johnson cross the finish line.
So what was I watching???????

[pigman]

Last years race.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Last years race.

Now I feel stupid.  :D :D :D :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

What station will it be on tonight?

[Mooseherder]

I think FOX will preempt regular programming.

All you Fox haters go to bed now. :D

[red]

WWW.nascar.com says 8:30 pm.....but David already saw the finish

[thecfarm]

I thought it was kinda odd they was showing that race. Yes,it was a good race,and yes they needed a race to fill in,but why a race at the same course?? I bet ALOT of people just went to check on the race for a minute and did the same too. I went outside for a while and came back in and the wife said the race was back on. I came into the room and saw Danica was in 3rd place.     Than I came too.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Here I am.....all raced out and it ain't been run yet.  >:(

[clww]

The drivers just re-started their engines!

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

For you Northern folks.....The REDNECK OLYMPICS are about to begin.
Fill your bowls up with Grits and lets go racing Guys......boogity...boogity !

Post, Glad you got your well fixed.   I kinda dozed off and woke up to  last year's race.    :D

I wish I would have dozed off and woke up to last years well.  :D :D :D :D :D

[Jeff]

Yea Junior!

[sandhills]

Didn't get to see any of it after the rain delay and hardly any of the start do to cooking (hey, you gotta eat too), but in our little pool we pick numbers, lowest gets to pick his/her driver first and work up from there.  I got number 8 and picked Jr.  ;D, just wish I could've seen the end of the race!  Think I'll donate the winnings to next years meal  .

[thecfarm]

POSTON,we have one better.

The real olympics gave this guy a real hard time. I have no idea if they are having one this year or not.

[JohnM]

I'm pulling for the number.....not the driver......but the #3.

I'm not a huge NASCAR fan but I do follow it and got to see the race, thanks to it being a nighttime race. :D  But am I mistaken in thinking #3 didn't make many friends last night?

Glad to see Jr win, kept expecting 'something' to go wrong and thought the piece of tape was 'it'.  Bet he made the ppl in the pace car nervous! :D

[gspren]

  The race was worth staying awake later than normal, I wish David Ragan would have been up front but I'm OK with Jr winning.
