It also was announced that this win was Rick Hendrick's 10th Daytona 500 win breaking a tie with Petty Motor Sports for most all time wins.

I've never been to a Nascar race. I think I'd be game for going to one in late winter or early spring as a 3 day trip somewhere warm. Seems like it would be a good time.

I went to several at Kentucky Speedway and that's what got me hooked. They were always a great time. 

From NASCAR on NBC:

He’s still got it. 

Jimmie Johnson got his best finish since retiring from full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2020.

I didn't get to watch.  Really impressed with Jimmy Johnson.  P3 at Daytona is incredible.

He drove a great race at the Indy 500 in 2022 as well.

It is impressive but I am going to say it, he was lucky, lucky that so many people crashed.

I don't doubt you one minute, BUT that is what makes the race what it is.

You HAVE to have luck to stay in it to the end.

Right, that and it is Daytona which is much like Dega, anything can happen.

Yeah I wish I would have when they were still racing there. I just never really had the itch for it back then.

Bristol is a fantastic place to watch a race. 

Sit higher up at the start finish line or opposite the SFL.  You can see all the action from corner to corner with little to no head turn.  Same in the corners, sat here the last time I went.

"IF" you go to Bristol, take or rent a scanner, as once they say "start your engines", you're really not talking to the person next to you.  LOL

We have our first naughty little boy in 2025, from NASCAR on NBC:

After a major penalty for the No. 19 team, Chase Briscoe now has -67 points.

That’s right. Negative 67.
