THAT is why we like Daytona

And THAT, is why DJ and I love the Daytona 500. WOW! Just like 100% of the announcers said " In have never seen anything like THAT happen before ". I case you missed it, with 40 laps to go there was a caution flag and all the cars were slowing down to a crawl (like 100 mph or something) and way in the back, all alone were two trucks on the top outside of the track, trailing jet engines that were drying off the track and one lone car . . . . that was having problems.

All of a sudden, in his words, "I was no longer in control and I became a passenger". The car loses grip on the track, spins out of control and rams into the back of one truck with the jet engine.

At that point all hell breaks loose as 200 gallons of jet fuel ignites along with the trucks HUGE tank of diesel fuel!

This is all happening just before we come back from a commercial. No one was hurt.



The race was finally won at 11:50 by local Cambridge dude Matt Kenseth.

OH - the action started in lap #2. The newest sensation on the track is Danica

Patrick. The first woman to race in NASCAR. A winner on the Indy circuit. this is her first BIG race, she is in the lime green car, watch what happens to her!



DJ and I both love watching the Daytona 500. It's a sign of spring coming. Next up is DJs second favorite sports event - The Masters!! I doubt there will be the fireworks in the Masters as there was in Daytona last night.

News on DUC computer. Seems there are people getting ripped off that I did not know about. Ch27 was going to do a report on DUC but the guy they were helping filed a law suit so they had to drop the case. I'll call Ch27 tomorrow so they can open the case back up.

Watch Ch27, maybe I'll be on it???
