NASCAR: 2004 DAYTONA 500

I cant wait for the race tomorrow, i think it will be a nice day dont worry.

Hope to see a few nice crashes, nobody getting hurt though of course. I remember that Newman crash that ProudA posted, that was wicked. I was glad he walked away, as much as i like crashes i hate to see injuries.

READY TO RACE???


I just checked out the garage cam again, it looks dry there but the skies look really nasty, like they're ready to open up any minute.

Work with us Mother Nature!

lets hope, we were talking about the weather in the fantasy thread. We were hoping it keeps up so im able to beat all of yous.

pre race show is on and IT ISN'T RAINING!!!!

Thats great, say Toejam you wanna do some commentary for the race?

i will try, i've got some chores to do today so will be on and off, have to drain a waterbed

Yahoooo! Today's the day! :bounce:

I do not think my already fragile marriage is going to survive this season, so I might as well enjoy the season!!
While I'm pulling for any car that says FORD on it, I pull for DEI cars, too. Just wish they'd go Ford!

Whos on the ford team?

bush has landed, the prerace ceromonies are almost over, AND IT'S SUNNY.....time to start the engines!!!!!!

2 F-15s and a B-2 WOO HOO!

Hey, he got it right. Hehe

TRD,
the nascar site now has the leaders posted where they had the the top qualifiers listed before the green flag

looks like mark martin has blown an engine on lap 8 setting up a scramble behind him, doesn't look like any other cars were seriously damaged,

appears that the viagra car will not be able to finish today!!!!!

Ok thanks Tj i will check it out..

Don't think i had him in my team,well i hope not lol!

at 20 laps dale jr is leading followed ty tony stewart, casey mears has pitted with a tire problem, is this the beginning of the tire story????

could be tire issues, Jeff Burton just lost an engine?

Back to the tires, Mears might not have had proper settings, I would imagine if your downforce on the front is not correct, you could go through tires fast.

I want to see them come up with a super speedway tire that allows for 60-70 laps of racing. But I prefer the racing to the pit strategies.

Seems like a good race, i should tune in sometime soon.

LMAO! I thought the same thing when I saw it was Martin.


Pretty good race so far, my favorite driver Rusty Wallace is in the middle of the pack, hovering around the 23rd spot.

Bobby Labonte is in the grass, missed the pit road.


Now that everyone's fantasy teams are locked, does anyone want to post their team?
