Daytona, let's go away
Daytona (Ok, go men)
Daytona, let's go away
Daytona, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
This is your crew chief
The course is really tough
But it's a beautiful day
So good luck!
And they're under way
Yes, we're under way
And it's a beautiful day
Here at Daytona
You're falling way behind
Try to make a hole through there
You're lookin' all over the track
Now let's see some control
There's a crash coming out of Turn Three
You better watch yourself
Somebody coming up behind you
Somebody coming up behind
Watch out
Somebody coming, only seven more laps to go
Tu, tu, tu... Here we go
Forget about your attitude
Go, go, go
Better keep an eye on your time
Yeah, you're in the final stretch
Way to maneuver the car
Ah, you're lookin' good!
Yeah, you're good!

Speedweeks ain't just about the damn fendered cars on the big track in February :P

sure I'd love more on-track stuff at Daytona but I think in a totality PoV - Speedweeks is way better now these days. Only a couple days from the Roar through the 500 where there isn't any on-track activity happening in Florida (or Georgia), either it be big track, asphalt short track, dirt, the Rolex or even the pre-season drag racing stuff that popped up this year.

A couple of questions:

Why do they run shortened fields for the series that consistently get more entries than the limit? What is the purpose of the shortened field? Are the cars bigger than they used to be so there is not enough room to have 43 cars pit safely?

If the number of entries for the 500 is so low these days what is the point of the duel races? Why not just have a qualifying session determine the starting order? Or is it because another race means more opportunities to wreck cars that NASCAR can put in the adverts/highlight reels?

Also, why exactly is Greg Biffle allowed to race in NASCAR sanctioned events? Wasn't he found guilty of a gross invasion of privacy against his ex-wife that involved putting secret cameras in his house to film her doing things that I don't think I need to explain?

I have some bad news:

race day may be a total washout with rain projected to last all day until 10 PM local. Because Mother Nature just wants to support her favorite form of motorsport.
