He's a veteran racing a bunch of under 25 young guns.

The new rules package seems nice.

2014 Daytona 500: Aloe Blacc to sing national anthem

 

[Burhead]

Gerhart walls it, I love it.

 

[Burhead]

First fight of the stock car racing haha. Oh and I think I know why Gerhart wins all these races at Daytona, these dudes don't know how to draft.

one of the Busch Brothers has got this.


Kurt, to be exact.

Danica has actually made it 4 laps and hasnt wrecked yet. She has definately improved.

How in the actual hell did she just lose the draft? I switched over to the NBA all-star festivities for a couple minutes and come back to see she'd completely lost the pack.

because she depends on looks instead of talent?

Point taken, but did she hit the wall or something? There's plenty of drivers out there that don't have Cup talent that could stay in the draft at a plate track.

 

[bubbacurry1]

I think she just fell back, dunno what happened. She has made it back up to 3rd now. All the drivers around her have to be preparing for the worst.

 

[bubbacurry1]

well, there is one less threat.

JJs stuff is junk.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

JJ having inspection troubles.

JJ having inspection troubles.

What else is new?

 

[Crew]

Say what you want. ...that #3 is fast, shawty.

 

[Burhead]

You knew that was going to happen...

 

[Crew]

You knew that was going to happen...

yeah. ...I get that.

I'm not above a good conspiracy theory but if they were gonna fix it for anyone, why not junior?

 

[doozer]

Jesus if he puts that thing on the pole all we're going to hear about for the next week is the return of the 3.
