I'll be in the pits this year, and if Gerhart wins I will streak across the infield grass.

You heard it here first.

I think 2004 was the last year the Dash series ran at Daytona.

ARCA race should be fun to watch.

apparently the new car is pretty unstable; after 15 laps they won't be easy flat

Races decided by a Last Lap pass: 1967, 1978, 2012

It's still missing a few bits since I don't have all the information I need for every race. I think the record number of lead changes, for instance, was 18 in 1985, but I don't have the lead changes info for all the races.

ARCA did use a bit of my research in one of their front page articles, namely about Bobby Gerhart. The man's got nearly all the ARCA records at Daytona:
http://www.arcaracing.com/news.php?contentid=14887

His stats, by year:
Spoiler:
1988: 13th, 80 laps
1989: 36th, 28 laps(engine)
1990: 14th, 79 laps
1991: 12th, 79 laps
1992: 22nd, 78 laps
1993: 32nd, 3 laps(accident)
1994: 35th, 24 laps(oil leak)
1995: 37th, 31 laps(accident)
1996: 10th, 79 laps
1997: 17th, 79 laps

It was odd last year how the ARCA race was one of the calmer ones of the week.

Does anyone know the green flag times? Can they be listed in the first post? I hate that the build up times are listed as start times. You could be waiting 2 hours for the 500!

Is there UK coverage this year?

Premier Sports has it again...and they've got 5 live truck races too (and all highlights).

Not sure if Motors has Nationwide...although I think I saw someone tweet that they did.

EDIT: Premier Sports website has all the UK start times. http://www.premiersports.tv/top/premier ... -schedule/

A little uncertain, but looks like I'll be going to this year's race with some friends.

MRN's site is streaming the 1987 Twin 125's in a few minutes:

http://www.motorracingnetwork.com/stream.html

I've seen plenty of bitching about NASCAR's Media Day. It sounds pathetic.

Oh yeah. And the media members have pretty much been telling the fans who don't care about Danica and Ricky, that they don't care about how much the fans don't want to hear it. That "it's a big story". Fuck the media.

And yet they wonder why so many media outlets no longer cover NASCAR....
