Daytona 500 Thread ("Official" or otherwise)
Because I think "Official" threads about anything on DU are silly.
Post your comments about the race, but perhaps it would be best if the "I hate racing" or "I don't understand the appeal" comments would best be placed on the other threads. The Start your engines command has been given @ 1:20. LET'S GO RACING!

First incident.
Multi car on the front stretch. (BTW, "Yellow, Yellow, Yellow" is what is heard over race control and almost every other radio channel on such an occasion.) |
