Looked more like 1 of those support races at the local track to me. 2 Cars attached together and going around the track joining up with other partner cars to swap leads with other partner cars in their little group...'course I was only able to catch about 20 laps or so....from about lap 50 down to lat 28.....Naw NASCAR jumped the shark for me when Dale Sr. died and possibly even before that.....Used to be a lot different back in the day. Dirtier, Gritier more connected to common folk on a personnel level.....Now these guys and their cars are like Hollywood Stars with all the paump and attitude to go with it......SPLASH...its over Rocky....On a positive note I was happy to see Mark Marten behind the wheel.....And was hoping he could of won.
Here is what I fell in love with as a kid. Mind you we never got it on TV until 1979 but used to listen to the live broadcast of the Daytona 500 on a Toronto Radio Station:[video=youtube;AibV8_0USBA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AibV8_0USBA&feature=related[/video]
