The weather is a bit spotty but that didn’t stop the fans of Nascar showing up for the Daytona 500! The race is still going on while I write this however it’s pretty crazy with an average speed of around 160mph! Do you think the drivers are trying to clock some miles early just in case the rain comes down? What do you think? Exciting no matter what the answer is.

The economy didn’t seem to effect the turnout at Daytona. All 200,000 of the seats sold out last night and only infield tickets were still available. I’m guessing that Nascar fans won’t be stopped from being at one of the most celebrated races on the Nascar racing calendar 🙂

I’ll be getting back to the action now and down some beers but I’ll leave you with some highlighted videos of some previous Daytona 500 races:
