Five picks. Five points to win, one point for each accurate top-five guess.



Clarification for Scoring Does 1 point go along with the 5 points for a WIN
Example , I pick Joey Logano to Win . 5 for the Win & 1 for Top 5 pick ????

Figures. This is the first time in a long time I had planned to watch a race.

Still Waiting out Rain Delay . Dipstick can't you speak with your buddy Brian France and get this going .

We're done. Postponed til high noon tomorrow.

I say that every time it rains on a day when I need it to be sunny. Doesn't look good for the race tomorrow, they are calling for rain through Wednesday.

It'll be a Monday night or Tuesday race unless the front stalls (and someone was saying computer models indicate it might).

Tony Stewart for the win
Kyle Busch
D Earnhardt Jr
Jimmy Johnson
Danica Patrick Go Daddy:yahoo:

If anyone wants to change their picks, they have until Noon. OHG, if I was you, which I'm not, I'd take advantage. Danica will win the race to the motor home lot.

:rolleyes: I think it's the first time the Daytona 500 has been called due to rain in 50 years.

so did you guys sit around and watch it rain all afternoon yesterday?

I did...:stupid:

Heck no - Thing1 was gonna watch it, not I. I finished making my meatloaf for dinner and then took a nice little nap. :biggrin:

:rolleyes: I think it's the first time the Daytona 500 has been called due to rain in 50 years.

I thought they said it's never been called for rain.

so did you guys sit around and watch it rain all afternoon yesterday?

Kinda. I had the TV turned up loud enough so I didn't have to actually watch it. I kept checking weather.com hoping something positive would come of the weather. It might clear today though.

Doesn't look good for the race tomorrow, they are calling for rain through Wednesday.

Looks like Phoenix might be 1ST race of season .

Green flag postponed again. 7:00 start.

Working ! Have to DVR and hope I don't hear any feedback on race until after I get home at midnite . IF THEY EVEN GO GREEN FLAG . Haven't missed a Daytona 500 LIVE since 2001 and that was only one since early 70's

Winner so far - the rain.....

I think they should race in the rain. Fans would win.

Winner so far - the rain.....The rain has moved off with no more in sight. I was amazed the sent out the jet dryers yesterday and 10 min. later it was pouring. I could see on my laptop 900 miles away the radar showing the storms. Big dummys. :lol:

I think they should race in the rain. Fans would win.

But drivers and cars would probably die....

Ever been to a 500? I've been to two, and that's enough for me and mine.

A lot of fun, but always an incredibly long, tiring day.

From Tampa, it is about 130 miles to the Daytona Speedway. The first 128 miles take about 2 hours or so. The last two miles takes you two hours or so......and then the parking lot and walk to the track......

Then you hope it doesn't rain. We had great weather for both of our appearances.

Getting home is quicker, as long as you wait about 90 minutes after the race before you even start your car engine.

But the deafening, perfectly tuned-ringing roar of the cars and the wind blowing your hats off as you walk along the fance, four feet from, and window level of, the race cars blasting past you at 200 mph......

Priceless.

The rain has moved off with no more in sight. I was amazed the sent out the jet dryers yesterday and 10 min. later it was pouring. I could see on my laptop 900 miles away the radar showing the storms. Big dummys. :lol:

We had the same system, it moved out about 3 hours ago, sunny and 77 here now. Glad it's going to be at 7 so that people who had to work today can watch.

The dryers yesterday were a waste, that rain wasn't about to let up, it rained all night long and was still pouring when I got up this morning.

It is raining again at Daytona, and a good chance of rain in the 6pm hour.

Brian France had to make a decision & Dear Abby wasn't available :whistle:. NASCAR will pass the cost of the dryers to ticket prices :killingme

It's always amazed me that NASCAR doesn't run in the rain. Next month when the bikes run they'll have rain tires available

Her near miss down in the grass was amazing! Sorry to see her caught up in it so early.

Huh? Why would I cry? My guy was in front of it. :shrug:

obviously I confused you with somebody else... :jet: and I also remember somebody else who is most likely cussing right about now.

Yeah, I think Danica will be okay.

This isn't starting off very well....

Poor Danica caught up in it. I think she'll be ok though.

I don't watch NASCAR but I have a question. Does Danica patrick get all of this attention because she's a girl? I mean, has she ever won anything? Thanks for humoring me! :buddies:

She has a lot of "firsts" such as first to win in the indy series (in Japan), 1st woman to lead at the indy 500, best finish by a woman at indy (3rd), and best finish by a woman in nascar.

She has a lot of potential in nascar.

I can't believe they are still using those lame Digger cartoons.

Now that they got the adrenaline accidents out of the way, it's not a bad race. Last 10 laps should be interesting.

Meh. Thanks the the answer though.

There goes Gordon.

There goes my Jeff points. Not looking good for me.

There goes Gordon.

Very impressive how he got the guys out from behind him with just seconds to the blow up. Anyone else would have let it happen and who cares what's behind me....

:yikes:

I have a feeling this race might be over, that track is cooked.

That was ugly. I'm so glad everyone is okay.

The rain has moved off with no more in sight. I was amazed the sent out the jet dryers yesterday and 10 min. later it was pouring. I could see on my laptop 900 miles away the radar showing the storms. Big dummys. :lol:

Did they leave one of the dryers out on the track that everyone forgot about??

What else can go wrong with this race?

The emergency crews were not prepared for a JP-4 fire. CO2 and water just piss off jet fuel. They needed AFFF
(aqueous film-forming foam) to douse it, and had none.

All navy personnel understand what that is. Basic Firefighting 101.

Also the huge realization that those vehicles have no where near the protection for a raceway accident. 'Hey, these trucks don't race, they don't need door and passenger protection! Seat belts are fine!'

I suspect someone is going to re-think allowing those trucks on the track with 70mph race cars. That driver was very lucky to be alive.

Amen to that as well. Apparently, that vehicle was "blowing off" debris from the previous incident that caused the yellow flag.

That driver was going a lot faster than 70. He was trying to catch up with the pack, and something broke in his car.

NASCAR is SOOO Redneck they even have a name for their flashing lights??
"Drives have no issues seeing the Waylan emergency lights!!"

Hell of a lot of free advertising for TIDE!!

Is this an ARCA race or a NASCAR race? Stupid.

Where's the EPA??

Can't wait to see the fines the EPA hands out to NASCAR..

Imagine.. it's only a SMALL fuel spill.. 250, 300 gallons.. Just wash it down the drain, it'll be ok!!

Where the hell do they think all the fuel they just washed off the track went??

You think the distributors would be making emergency restocking runs to the race track at Midnight??

ARCA called NASCAR. They want their crashfests back.

Only Juan Pablo Montoya could pull that off.

1 lap and somebody spins out on the oil spill

I'm surprised they made it past the first lap in yellow..

Other than that, I can't believe I'm watching it..

Same here, but only 30 laps left.

FOX sucks.

FOX sucks.

Why is that?

Why is that?

They go two hours during a red flag commercial free and then four laps in to a green flag run, on come the full screen ads.

Now, under a caution, they're not using the time to get commercials out of the way.

Now that I've had 6 hours to stare at the cars...there are some really ugly cars racing this season.

I hope that's the last caution. I'm exhausted. :ohwell:

I've had relationships that didn't last as long as this race.

All respect I had for Greg Biffle, gone. Never even tried.

They orchestrated that with 20 to go. ####tiest race I ever saw.

If anyone wants to change their picks, they have until Noon. OHG, if I was you, which I'm not, I'd take advantage. Danica will win the race to the motor home lot.

Well, I got that one right :killingme:killingme
