Been a long winter. Glad to see the start.

If anybody is interested, the latest issue of Hot Rod magazine has many interesting stories for the 50th anniversary of the 426 Hemi that debuted at Daytona in 64. Including an interview with the 88 yr old guy who was head of the engineering team also a feature on Petty’s winning car.

and the print news take:

Richard Petty: Danica won't win:

The only way #10-Danica Patrick will win a NASCAR Sprint Cup race is if she's the only driver on the track, says the legendary "King" of stock car racing, Richard Petty. Petty, who visited Toronto Sunday for an appearance at the Canadian Motorsports Expo (for the live blog, please click here), answered quickly and decisively when asked if the former IndyCar star who's now a second-year driver for Stewart-Haas Racing would ever visit Victory Lane in the Cup series. "(Only) if everybody else stayed home," said Petty, who started his NASCAR career in 1958 in a race at the long-gone Canadian National Exhibition Speedway in downtown Toronto. Petty spent much of the time in a media scrum discussing how NASCAR has evolved over the years from "race time" to "show time" and he acknowledged that Patrick has been good for the sport in that respect.(full story at Toronto Star Wheels)(2-10-2014)

And just a few minutes ago on Racehub Larry Mac was asked "if Danica walked up to the King and said I have a Sponsor ready to sign, what would Richard say" Larry Mac with no hesitation said the answer would be "Where is the pen"

Personal note:

I was informed of this last night by a Buddy that watches nbc news that Richard had stated this. I told Him He was wrong it would have been Kyle.

He told Me I should watch the network snooze.

I just gagged...

Weather update:

No snow at the house but a few miles South it has been getting hit pretty hard.

Teams in the area are sending the Troops to Daytona ASAP to get them south of the weather.

Just saw Pics of Rousch Racing Shop and there is probably 2” on the ground. That is about 5 miles South from Me as the Crow flies.

SHR pit crews face off in preseason competition:

As the off season comes to a close and the Daytona 500 rapidly approaches, teams are doing all they can to show up to the first race of the season at their best. Drivers have been testing behind the wheel, mechanics turning wrenches in the shops, engineers working through data and computer programs to determine the ideal set-up. Each team is looking to bring their 'A-game' to Daytona to show off in a big way. For the pit crews, however, preparation is typically limited to workout routines and practice stops out behind the shop. While this is great for repetition and practice, the sense of competition is not always there. At Stewart-Haas Racing, however, the organization found a fun way to get their over-the-wall guys ready for Daytona by competing against one another. On Friday [Feb 7th], SHR held an internal "Pit Crew Throwdown" to see which team was the fastest crew in the bunch. The competition was stiff between the four teams. In the end, Hey Richard it was Danica Patrick's #10 team that took the title and the bragging rights heading into Daytona with a pit stop time average of 11.32 seconds.(images and more at FoxSports)(2-10-2014)
