2009 NASCAR running thread

Stewart did a great job to fend off the Shrub.

Best driving I've seen in some time.

 

The best part was that within 10 minutes of me posting that comment, Tony was being interviewed on Speed Channel about the tire failure on Newman's car.

DirecTV viewers may find this page very, very interesting. Cable and Dish Network viewers are SOL as usual.

Current weather conditions at Daytona Beach: Temperature: 63.5°F / 17.5°C | Humidity: 85% | Pressure: 29.99in / 1015.5hPa (Falling) | Conditions: Overcast | Wind Direction: North | Wind Speed: 5.0mph / 8.0km/h

Not promising. Be a shame if Big Bill France's oversight of the weather from beyond expired with the 50th Daytona 500.

 

They were running his comments on the crawl during the race yesterday.
Awesome.

 

with? or after?

This is 51, 50th anniversary. If you meant it expired AFTER last year's, then copacetic.

I'm unabashedly rooting for J-May to have a great race. Love him.

 

;D

 

I was just checking. Sorry.

 

Dammit woman, don't apologize while I'm being a goofball at your expense! It's rude!

 

May Denny Hamlin visit you in your dreams.

 

J-May?
Mercy.

 

Careful or she's gonna send Denny after you!

 

So what's the deal with the weather. The race is still an hour away, and 45 minutes in FOX hasn't said anything about it. Is it clear or what? Is Fox going to run their entire pre-race show and then the thing gets delayed?

 

Although written several hours ago, this will kind of give an idea.

I was watching the musical entertainment and you could see rain drops falling onto the camera lens, so it'll probably come down to a race-time decision.
