55 cars. 4 divisions. Some of the best drivers in the world, and Jeff Gordon.

How long can I make it? How many names and car types can I butcher? Where is the Brent Musburger mults when you need him??

These questions and more will be answered 9ver the next 24 hours!
Happy new year, race fans!!

Jamie Little and her sweet, sweet ponytail is interviewing Indy car driver Tony Kannan. Now I know it is a big race if she is there. :bounce:

Drivers are strapped in and Dario Franchitti gives the command to start the engines.

54 degrees and cloudy in Daytona. Looks like it could be rainy later in the evening and at sunrise in the morning.

1st full course caution of the race. It only took 10 minutes for somebody to dump their Lamborghini off course into the wall of tires.

Wonder if Lance Briggs was driving, would he report it stolen?

Back to green flag racing.

Sad to see billboards have replaced the seating on the backstretch.

Will be judging for myself in person in 25 days.

Lead change!!!

Also, one of the BMW's is parked on pit road. Car won't move. That is unfortunate.

The fiancée is coming home from her fist job and then heading off to her 2nd job, all this on her "day off".

May have to curtail race coverage until later. Damn, now I remember why I didn't do any RaceLogs the second half of the season last year. :lol:

Scott Pruitt and his Lexus just went right into the wall thru the first corner section.

Looked like something broke and the car kept turning towards the barrier. Ouch!!!

He is ok and walked away from the crash. 2nd full course caution
