Another bone to pick in a friendly sort of way.

I’m still not thrilled with the way things ended last week.

If Daytona is the “SUPERBOWL” of auto racing, then run the 200 laps to its completion, even if that means coming back on Monday to finish.

Also, if NASCAR is trying to reach out to the fans in these tough economic times and if they ask the same of the drivers then the races on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor day weekend need to be run to completion along with 1 other race, say at Tallegahda.

My thoughts. comments???

Time for the field to chase the DUCK, GO FLIPPER!!!!

If they had started the race earlier, they probably could have gotten the whole thing in before the rain came.

I swear to God, NASCAR is getting worse than the NFL with the overlong prerace stuff.

They couldn't race on Monday, because it would eliminate a day of going back to Charlotte and then trucking to California.

What I want to know is why do we need 1 hour and 20 minutes of pre-race fluff. I don't need to see a rock concert by some obscure band.

No argument from me...RUN the Race, get rid of this CRAP on TV for an hour+...

It SHOULD be...at the start:
10mins of pre-race, the starting grid, the anthem and START your Engines! total time...20mins MAX!!
