Anyone watching the Daytona 500?

If so, who is your pick to win? I'm going with Jeff Gordon.

I wish I could watch it, but I have to drive to Fredericton today..I might get lucky and catch the tail end of it.

I managed to catch the last 37 laps. Good finish.

I didn't get to catch the end, it was over by the time I got to Fredericton. I was listening to the broadcast on sirius radio and heard Gordon got smashed up pretty good..at that point I turned the music back on! haha

A lot of crashes at the end. They need to find a way to keep those cars cool while drafting for long stretches. Letting off the throttle to get airspace gets you smashed from behind.

I'm definitely not a fan of the style of racing at Daytona this year. The pairs of 2 is boring to watch, and dangerous with the speed differences between groups of 2.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that pairs was how the race was going to run. Don't care for that either.
