Daytona 500 Update 1

While I can't blog the whole race, as I work at 2:30, I will do the first hour or 2. At lap 3 Michael Waltrip is in the lead, with Dale Jr. in 3rd. Sadly, the major problem of Restrictor Plate racing, that they all get really bunched up, is once again an issue after only 5 or 200 laps. After 7laps Michael and Dale are 1-2, and they seem to be happy with this arrangement. Also, I found it eerie seeing that, as it brought me back 3 years ago this weekend. The great American race is on, and it is heating up. But, I add, there is still about 190 laps left and the winner is not yet decided. The racing has become a little strung out with the lead ten or so being single file, and then the rest or two wide behind them. No Big One yet, and hopefully this will be a super speedway race without one.
