[speed3okie]

Man that was a nasty crash for Scott Wimmer

[devBrian]

What a trash race this has been.

31 blew an engine, wreck happened during commercial, as usual.

[speed3okie]

wow, waht a race, none of my picks did good tho, exept mark martin

[beanboy89]

Tony Stewart had the dominant car for most of Sunday, but it was Jeff Gordon who held off furious charges from Kurt Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on a green-white-checkered restart to win his third Daytona 500.

:D

Wow, that was a great race. One of the best 500's in the past few years.

[DreAming in DigITal]

Yea that was really a great race...I was hoping Tony Stewart would win, but it was great anyways. I just wish he would have spun out Jimmy Johnson for blocking him all the way up the track like that during the last 3 laps :angry: .

And none of my fantasy drives did any good except for Little E :argh:

[DreAming in DigITal]

Well Since I'm in a Nascar mood...I figured I'd post a few pics some of you might like.

I went to "The Richard Petty Driving Experience" last year in Charlotte, NC so here are a few pics that my girlfriend took:

This one is me getting into the car and getting ready to drive my "hot laps"....

[DreAming in DigITal]

And here is one of me climbing into Juniors car for my "ride along":

Note: All of these cars are real cars that raced and won at Lowes Motor Speedway, the winners are donated to The Petty Driving Experience.

That's pretty sweet. I won't even ask how much something like that costs.

[Steffan]

it a good race. I like the new rule with the cautions under 10 laps. I cant believe that Stewart didn't win. there's always next weekend.

It's not really a new rule. If you're talking about the single file restarts under 10 laps, that has been a rule for years.

And yes, there is another race next weekend, but 12 months until another Daytona 500.

[DreAming in DigITal]

/\ He may have been talking about the Green White Checker finish rule...

That's pretty sweet. I won't even ask how much something like that costs.

Actually is isn't too expensive...for the basic package it's around $300 and goes up from there to about $2,000 i think? The ride along is like $89, I think, thats where they take you on 3 or 4 laps with a real driver. If you do the higher level packages then you actually stay for several days to a week and race against others in your class...when I was out there, there were about 10 other cars on the track while I was driving.

They're at Fontana next weekend. And too bad it's a whole more year until the next Daytona 500. Until then, we have the Pepsi 400 in July, under the lights at Daytona to look forward to.

DreAming in DigITal: Woah, that looked cool. I want to do that sometime. A few years ago I was visiting Dover, and stopped by the track and I think the The Richard Petty Driving Experience was there doing lesssions. They let us inside the track to watch for a while to see what was going on.

[Toastyone]

Jeff Gordon?  You may exit now. :cool:

Anyway, I see Jimmie Johnson, an RCR car, or a DEI car coming out on top tomorrow.

What a great finish Sunday. Edwards really drove that thing hard those last few laps.
