To be honest, I'm more excited that the Daytona 500 is today because the stupid Daytona Day commercials will die in a hellfire than I am excited for the race itself.

 

[JohnBM01]

Well, it's here- the Daytona 500. No matter what you think about NASCAR so far this season or what is to come, the Daytona 500 is still the Daytona 500. So will the drivers play nice? Will the attrition be low? Or will this be the culmination of what brutality the Trucks and XFINITY series have shown this weekend? We'll find out as this race commences.

Good luck to all drivers and teams competing today at Daytona for the famed Daytona 500.

My picks for the Daytona 500:
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Chase Elliot
Clint Bowyer
Kurt Busch

 

[Northstar]

My prediction:

Danica Patrick wins the 500, than goes back to her usual performance until Homestead where she wins the championship. This causes the internet to implode causing the apocalypse.

WHAT THE ****!

 

[GTFan24]

Double Post whoops

 

[Kingofweasles]

WHAT THE ****!

I take it the "Boys, have at it"-style of racing is going to be dead and burried... Ah, who am I kidding?

 

[BKGlover]

WHAT THE ****!

I'm glad he's been paying attention to try and fix whaahhahahaahaaaha....sorry, I couldn't type that without laughing. Last I checked, all but two incidents these last two weeks have been directly because of blocking, it's been a lot of bump drafting into and out of corners with less stable cars. Christ, NASCAR Brass are ******* hopeless. Is there something setup like the Lakers did to where a sibling can take over?

[Blitz24]

Nascar wants the big one to stop happening on bump drafts make it simple: if you bump a car into a wreck you are parked.

 

[catamount39]

Anybody else getting an XFL vibe right now after the Monster Energy statement?

 

[Blitz24]

And NASCAR wonders why its stagnating. At least Formula One isn't dumb enough to make these decisions.

They're are really pushing how this is the most exciting thing you will ever see anywhere

They're hoping if they say it enough it will eventually come true.

Also, I have volume on the TV down, but somehow I still know it's some crappy country act singing.

Edit: ooh, they have 3 singers and one is even pretending to play a guitar!

I heard that Daytona 500 is no longer a 500. But more like Daytona 150 + 150 + 200

Are they going to be doing that in the cup series too?

 

[Northstar]

Unfortunately, yes.

Edit: Surely they could have found a spot in the Ford Meuseum that didn't have a C6.R in the background.

Danica already holding up the field

Danica already holding up the field

I think she was waiting for more applause.

 

[GTFan24]

Holy 🤬 these driver intros are absolutely awful

 

[Northstar]

Danica already holding up the field

She was there at least, unlike Kahne.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

Glad to see so much love for my three favorite guys, Joey, Kyle, and Brad. Yeah, I know a lot of you guys don't care much for them.

Kyle's fine, he's become more likable since his leg got busted.

 

[Leadfoot530]

What time is the green flag?

 

[Northstar]

What time is the green flag?

Roughly 1/2 an hour from now.

 

[Blitz24]

Prop bet: Checkered Flag for final segment falls before or after 9 PM ET tonight?

Let's have a drink contest for the amount of big ones that occur .

Yeah, from this to champ, what a year for Kyle.
