I don’t know anything about Kasey one way or the other.
I DO know the #8 new driver will catch a lot of heck.
Besides that, KK doesn’t look old enough to drink. He is, but it would be bad advertising for Budweiser IMO to tempt younger folks. I know they drink anyway but they shouldn’t!! That’s how alcoholics are born, and it’s not a pretty picture if you’ve ever known one.
Daytona 500 to be moved to November? This week, sources within NASCAR told me [CTR] there has been closed door discussions to move the date of the Daytona 500, to November. Apparently, NASCAR is intrigued by the idea of switching the dates of the season ending Homestead race with the season opening Daytona 500. The allure of ending the NASCAR season and crowning a new Nextel Cup champion at the sports biggest race is something the France family is strongly considering. NASCAR and the International Speedway Corporation own both tracks so a change of date would be easy to accomplish. Each year since 1959, NASCAR has led off the season in Daytona Beach, FL with the sports biggest race, the Daytona 500. In 2008, NASCAR will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Daytona 500 on February 17th for what may be the final time ever in the month of February. Sources said the late Bill France Jr. was very much against moving the Daytona 500 and felt that it would hurt the integrity of the sport. NASCAR does not intend to have a final decision regarding the date change until the end of the 2007 season.(CTR-Captain Thunder Racing)(7-5-2007)
