You have to go to a lot of races in order to get into it. My father loved it, and that's how I got into it. He started getting into open-wheel back in the 70s, then came over to NASCAR in the mid 80's. We've been to Daytona 4 times, Talladega twice, Dover, Pocono, Nazareth, and the Rock. Even went to Bertil-Roos racing school in PA, and I can't wait for August to go to Bristol for the first time. I tell everyone, it may be boring on TV, especially if you don't have a clue what's going on, but once you go to a few races, you'll be hooked. I am amped today! lol. Let's go Junior! Let's go Harvick!

Toyota looking strong. Junior's running well, Harvick's tight.

Gordon and Johnson might not even finish Top 20 what would the odds have been on that

I have been to Daytona. You can go from 30th to 1st in 5 laps. They are only apart 10-15 seconds.

I'm happy about that, hopefully it stays like this. Don't be suprised though if Gordon is like a snake in the grass come 5 to go if he's in the top 10. BTW, congrats on 1000.

AT least Gordon won't finish up there...he needs to get back out and help push JR to the win though.

Happy to see Gordon's done for the day.
Jimmie Johnson will give Junior the push, and you don't have to worry about him stabbing Junior in the back as fast as Gordon.

Only thing that might hurt JR. is Busch and Stewart will work together JR. needs Johnson to get up there I think Johnson is currently 10th

Looks like Jr will have to do this one on his own...don't think anyone can take Stewart and Busch without help
