Whoohoo!! After a rain delay, all day Sunday and Monday morning, Monday evening brought the first official race of the season, in Daytona!
Wow! What a start! And the excitement never stopped. The majority of my Fantasy Team was involved in a pileup at one point or another, starting with lap one. Thank you, God, for NASCAR's dedication to safety, because none of them were seriously injured.
The grand stand is packed, even though the race didn't finish until after 1 a.m. Yes, you read it correctly. There was a red flag stop when Montoya slammed into a jet drier, read jet fuel. Again, thank God no one was injured. Montoya was able to walk away, and so was the safety truck driver.
Carl, my favorite driver, started on the pole, and eventually was caught up in one of the pileups. However, he finished eighth. Well done! I was simply glad he finished in one piece. Top ten is great!
Only half my team finished. Wow.
Amazing.

Anne Baldwin married Samuel Chase in 1762. Thought she bore six children, two sons and four daughters, she didn't live long enough to se...
We never watch NASCAR really, but because it was on TV, Doug turned it on -- and saw the big blow up. Matt Kenseth was leading at that time, so he decided to stay and watch long enough for them to get rolling again. Matt's from our part of Wisconsin so we kind of like him. ;-) Yay for Carl finishing in the top ten (and in one piece) in spite of all the pileups! And for no one else getting hurt!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun knowing we were watching the same thing at the same time. LOL! Yes, Sometimes I'm easily amused. ;-D
