As I mentioned last week I am going to try to follow NASCAR this year. Yesterday was the Daytona 500 and fortunate for me but unfortunate for everyone else there was a six hour rain delay. This delay allowed me to actually sit down and watch the last 50 miles without interruption. I pull for Jeff Gordon usually but it was great to see Dale Earnhardt Jr win his second Daytona 500. I remember the day his Dad died at Daytona 13 years ago. I lived in Raleigh and had just got off a plane and was driving back to my apartment. It was one of those events that you will remember where you were when you heard the news. You could tell how excited Junior was with the win and made me think he may be the driver I end up pulling for. And nobody besides me knows this but Junior drives the #88 and that just happens to be my lucky number. Let's see if I can watch races in back to back weekends.
Until tomorrow,
Dave
