Yeah, I used to live in Palm Coast, FL (about 20 minutes from Datyona)...I was at the first night race at Daytona......Pepsi 400 held in October because of the fires in the area.....evacuated our whole county. Made it to the 500 once, the "Twins" a few times, and the Pepsi 400 3 times. Nothing like the pure horsepower you feel when the "pack" comes around on lap 2-3 (full speed)!!!!!! I watched the 500, but I've really fallen away from NASCAR...........like every other professional sport, it's all about the money anymore. I liked the days when you had independent teams runnin' cars (i.e.: Ricky Rudd and the Tide car). It cost millions now to field a team.....I think the "good ol' boys" are rollin' over in their graves!! And as far as Chevy, Ford, Dodge,Toyota????????...........those cars are RACE cars.......ain't nothing Chevy, Ford, Dodge, or Toyota about them (except, of course, the money). Local tracks (dirt, especially) are the way to go!! THAT'S what it's all about!!
