The Daytona 500 That Wasn’t 500
No one likes a rain shortened race, except perhaps the race winner. But when it’s the Daytona 500, it is especially aggravating. Somewhere I read the suggestion that the race should be run earlier in the day and taped if the networks want to show it later, during prime time. At least that way there would be a better chance for the whole race to be run. All in all, though, it was a pretty good week of racing leading up to the 500.
I was pleased to see Jeff Gordon running up in the front, and of course, winning one of the Duals. Hopefully that is a portend of things to come this season.
I should mention that Matt Kenseth won the 500. So I just did. And Junior? Sometimes he is his own worst enemy, although one of the pit issues was not necessarily all his fault. Why on earth the pit crew kept servicing his car when the official was telling them his car was over the white line? Where was the crew chief? Surely it is someone’s job in the pit box to be watching the line official!
