Alright! The Daytona 500 is today and will kick off Nascar's 2006 season. It seems like its gonna be another wild race with kicks and everything plus add Tony Stewart's quote earlier last week that ''Some one will get killed'' in the race due to bump drafting.
The following I feel have a shot and may play a factor in todays race and just maybe there during the last 10 laps.
Earnhardt Jr
Stewart
(Both Hendrick twins, you know who Im talking about.)
Carl Edwards
and My dark Horse Pick will be Michael Waltrip.
I hope its a classic race.
What time does the race actually start? I'm tired of all the excess frosting after a week of Olympic coverage.

Dola: 20 laps have been ran and we've seen about 8 laps and 12 commercials for CONVICTION.

Enough commericals NBC?

I think the plan is to show 5 minutes of race per 3 minutes of commercials.

I'm tuning in for the first time in years, but if the commercial pace continues, I'll be tuning to another channel.

The 24 has the lead, but Jr and Stewart have hooked up.

I cant get a feel for the race. Last time they were on from laps 33-37 then a 7 minute commercial break.

Man, I would be pissed if I was one of the sponsors of the cars....Hard to expose your brand if you can't get any airtime.

Another commercial break. This time after only 2.5 laps. They showed Bon Jovi more than the race today.

But they did throw the yellow so these guys could get their cars checked. No sense losing to "money" guys that early. :rolleyes:

Im about ready to just listen to MRN coverage instead of deal with the commercials.
FYI MRN radio is saying that mc murray is having trouble, guess he too hit the wall.

The outside line is finally moving! Looks like Kenseth has a strong car, unless of course everyone is holding back.

Harvick in the lead with racing spread out.

That was another close one. Damn lapped cars. Junior with the lead!
Good job by Harvick by giving Jr clearance to pass the O1 machine.

WTF is up with Tony? He complains about bump drafting, ''asshole competitors'' and he does stupid shit like knocking rivals out.http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/mad.gif

My dad was at the race, he's been going with friends for years, but I haven't been able to get him on the phone to talk to him yet. He'll be back in town tomorrow night though so I'll get a play by play then. I was going to watch the race, but ended up taking a nice nap on the couch instead :)
