The 52nd running of the Daytona 500 is today! The Superbowl of motorsports gets the green flag a 1pm eastern time. Let me take a few seconds to make some observations. NASCAR has made a few changes for this season and actually keep making changes all weekend long. One of the more practical changes is making the start times uniform. All east coast day races will begin at 1pm eastern. Many of the venues and tv kept changing around the start times to make an extra buck or whatever. The other two start times are 3pm and 7:30pm. 7:30 will be for all night races, and 3pm will be the start time for Western and Central US races. DVR's across the country voted to make that a done deal. For the superspeedways, NASCAR has now made a ruling saying that the drivers are allowed to bump draft and NASCAR won't be as involved in the policing of any incidents. The drivers need to police themselves now. I am in agreement with that. NASCAR is also doing away with the wing on the back of the Cup cars and replacing it with the old blade on the back deck. I think they are trying to alleviate all the flying cars they had last year, but Jr.s' Nationwide car rolled yesterday and it had a blade, so who knows what'll happen.
Well, I must get ready for Raceday, so I gotta run!
Alex and Zach both qualified for the state individual wrestling tournament by finishing 2nd and 3rd in their respective weight classes yesterday in the regions! Congratulations, boys!
