Few cautions run for way too many laps.

At least we won't have to worry about impending darkness stoppages like at Dega.

There was a time or two when it was shortened so as not to interfere with the Shootout pre-race though. Always something, apparently.

ARCA prediction: Gerhart pits early, wins.

Let me quote myself from last year's Speedweeks thread concerning the ARCA race:

The thing that bothers me the most about the ARCA races at Daytona is that they start it so damn late that finishing it before the Shootout can be a bit of a challenge. Why not start it at 2 or something?

Personally I'm hoping it's not a derpfest. You look at these things a little differently when you have friends running out there.

Nothing can ever be as bad as this, we think.

I would argue that the 1990 race was worse than that.

Been to the 400 (2007, the one where McMurray beat Kyle Busch by inches). Aside from that, the only thing I remember was how much of a nightmare it was leaving afterwards. Spent almost 3 hours just waiting for the shuttle buses to show up and take us back to the parking lot some 2 miles away.

good god that was terrible

The legends winter nationals are all next week… Thankfully it's only about 2 hours (I think) to Daytona. So I might drive over to the Duels Thursday and the 500 Sunday.

Our last race is next Friday, and they changed it to a night race… Go figure.

I'll guess I'll be watching a lot from the RV.

Mike Wallace's Daytona sponsor appears to have escaped from a windswept lunatic asylum up in the mountains.

http://www.wyomingbusinessreport.com/ar ... /140209985

"Pendleton added that she is "stepping out on faith" to borrow money from her bank to pay for the sponsorship, which is "nothing to sneeze at." Unker's logos incorporate the phrase "To God be the Glory," and that is exactly who Pendleton is directing the glory to with this development."

"she said she had been praying for opportunities, and Wallace was on her mind for some reason last weekend. "To reach out to Mike when I did was not planned – it was prompted," she said. "Turns out [Wallace] was down in North Carolina talking to God about bringing him a sponsor. We're on different ends of the same spectrum."

"Pendleton admitted she knows "nothing" about NASCAR"

Amazing the power "faith" has... I won't go into too much detail but I have a friend who has been sold down the river by religion, long and short of it is she believes prayer is the answer to everything, absolutely astounding what some people will buy into.
