Keith Browning Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would type more but I am 6 beers, 4 huge shots of Jagermeister into this race and covered in Red Hot and honey wing sauce. You might need to tell me who wins this Daytona 500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I saw it. I woke up from my nap on the sunny part of the couch. It is amazing how resurfacing the track has completely transformed racing there. Aside from that there has been a lot of great television surrounding NASCAR this past week. The Dale Earnhardt documentary and a lot of interviews with some of the great drivers from years past many of whom were racing before I was born. I wish NASCAR would do more of that kind of thing before we lose more of the old timers. I love the stories they tell... some of which helps bring into perspective just how far motor sports like stock car racing has come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Back in the day....... way back when.... HotRod Magazine was digest size printed on pulp paper... just in the process of switching to magazine format. They had a column called "The Roundy Round Corner" dedicated to the go fast, turn left crowd. We'd read all about Glenn Roberts, Marvin Panch, Marty Robbins, Leroy Yarbrough and Cale Yarborough - can't forget Lee Petty... too many great names. NASCAR wasn't quite so civilized back then and the cars were a lot closer to stock. A racer would run out of tires and mooch some off a guys car in the parking lot. Smokey Yunick had tried about every which way to stretch the rules real thin... including a 2" diameter fuel line. Ahhh, the good ol' days...
