Because the wife and I have been to the Daytona 500 before, and because we have a brother of a friend who is on a pit crew there, and because fball season is over, no Iowa bball game and the Avs hockey season was better during the lockout....we try to make it a point for this race every year to be our Redneck Sunday (cooler of cold ones next to sofa, kids running carefree, and pretending we understand and know NASCAR one day a year).
Was bummed when Stewart went out early, then "rooted" for Danica and Gordon or Martin to be the spoilers. Fairly boring race. Looking forward to golf.
