Daytona race thread is Up Ping!!!
After the Daytona 500, this is my favorite race!
Great work man!
They’re practicing on the road course at Indy tomorrow, getting ready for the pre 400 race, my buddy calls up and says let’s go.
I tell him it’s gonna be 100 degrees, I’m stayin’ home.
I’m a wimp in my old age....
TX for the heads-up - I'm only a half-assed race fan, but would like to catch this race if I can find the time.
I'm kind of wondering if Carl Edwards and his team can find the mojo they had two seasons ago - then seemingly lost completely last year.
- a p.s. to that - seems the other Ford driver I've cheered for in the past (Matt Kenseth) is current 'leader' - wonder how long that holds out! LOL
Jimmie Johnson gave an unannounced interview so we got up close and personal; JJ is Mrs. Happydogs favorite driver and I took this photo for her, honest.
The "Patriots" did a 20 minute show prior to the race. Their red, white and blue smoke is computer controlled.
We watched the '48 team gluing on the lug nuts. Glue goes against the rim with the nut on top then a touch of glue on the side. I round heavy cover is then placed over the top so the nuts can seat.
Inside of Joe Nemecheks car.
I was able to finally meet tube bender and he invited me to his house. He didn't know I took this photo; his house is the 2nd from the left...as you can see the deck is under construction.
I've got a couple more I'll post later.
I would have been first but the FR servers still have a cold...
Lining them up for the start. Gotta have the 48 in there.
Another dash shot.
The 48 crew had a concern about the cracks in the pavement of their pit and called a NASCAR official to check it out.
Speaking of pit boxes Matt Kenseth has the nicest set-up of all the cars.
Premier Sports booked us into a place on Round Barn Road. Named for obvious reasons. Notice the hot-air balloon off in the distance. We saw two turkeys and a deer in this lot later on in the day.
NASCAR announced 90 minutes before the race that #22-A.J. Allmendinger has failed a random drug test and has been "temporarily" suspended. He was randomly selected and tested following the Kentucky race and his "A" sample tested positive. He has the right to request that NASCAR test his "B" sample. Should he refuse to have the "B" sample tested, or if that test is positive, the suspension will become indefinite. Sam Hornish will replace him in the #22 at Daytona.

BREAKING....Breaking news: Just hours before the Coke Zero 400, NASCAR has announced that AJ Allmendinger has failed a random drug test and has been pulled from the seat of the No. 22 Shell Dodge. Sam Hornish Jr. will be his replacement, and had to fly to Daytona from Charlotte with barely two hours’ notice.
Rats I was at work and busy...didn’t get a chance to watch until almost the last lap. What a lap it was though. Tony S wins!
Bid on poor Joe’s house......
