Daytona...............

Re: Daytona...............

We had Carne Asada and Chicken Taquitos which are my latest little gems. Yes, all agree the Gyro cam was the real star. I like Harvick so I was pleased, and he drove a heck of a race. Tony has been particularly stupid lately. I remember him messing up a few times toward the end of the season. Why in heck would you try that, and not wait on your spotter, 15 laps in?

Definitely love the new car. I am really curious about Phoenix, Vegas, Bristol and Fontana coming up. We'll know everything after that.

Re: Daytona...............

Tony shows his impatience and/or temper at times. It usually bites him. Although in this case it bit seven other drivers. Harvick did drive a smart race. We'll see how it plays out during the 500. 42 other drivers have to drive smart too. That may be impossible.

Re: Daytona...............

Qualifying on FOX as we speak. I believe that still sets the front row. Then the Duels on Thursday will set the rest of the field.....

Re: Daytona...............

Well so far, Danica has the fast time.

Re: Daytona...............

Danica fastest so far. Boss Tony #2. See how that holds up.

Re: Daytona...............

Danica, Newman, and then the Boss ... Stewart Haus Racing putting out some fast cars for qualifying.

I think her boyfriend, Ricky, is 5th......

Re: Daytona...............

The 24 almost caught the 10, but not quite. A few fast cars to go. The wind seems to a factor today.

Re: Daytona...............

Well Fox has called it, the Girl did it, congrats Danica for making history!

Re: Daytona...............

Danica gets to run in the Unlimited or what ever it will be called next year. Congratulations.

I hope she makes it through the Twins and can start up front.

Re: Daytona...............

Key for her and Jeffy is to learn as much as possible in the duals without tearing up their car. Last thing they want to do is wreck and have to start at the back!

And the Pens won, so it was a good afternoon.

Re: Daytona...............

A buddy of mine just called, he used to race Indy cars and drove in the 500 in the early 70's, now he wants to know if we can call her a "Pole Dancer"!

:laugh:

Re: Daytona...............

The new car needs to be driven differently than the "old" one. Danica seems to be one of the first to "get it right".

You go, girl.

Re: Daytona...............

The best thing about Danica's pole is that my wife and daughter are showing some interest in the 500. Maybe I will have some company besides my son on Sunday.

Re: Daytona...............

I still will be watching it myself. Maybe my daughter will watch a lap or two. Danica and Gordon really have nothing to prove in the Duals. They would be wise to stay back out of trouble so they don't have to go to a backup car Sunday......

Re: Daytona...............

I liked it when Gordon said he was the fastest guy today.

Re: Daytona...............

I liked it when Gordon said he was the fastest guy today.

He also said that's not always a good thing, and got a good laugh from the reporters.

Re: Daytona...............

Not sure if any of you watched the Winter Nationals yesterday. Antron Brown needs to count his blessings....
