The 2010 Daytona experience was a little weird. It was.

Don’t get me wrong. Weird can be good.

For example – did you think there was any way to make the Car Formerly Known as “Of Tomorrow” look uglier? That shark fin thing may or may not have made for better racing, but the cars looked like parade floats or something. Not a fan.

I am a fan of Danica Patrick and her fledgling stock car carreer though. Good start. Next.

Nice debut by Martin Truex Jr in the no. 56 NAPA Camry. That Jamie McMurray kid did OK too.

I wonder what kind of odds you could have gotten on Dale Earnhardt Jr finishing as the best of the Hendrick Motorsports drivers in the 500?

Potholes? You people haven’t seen potholes if you thought that little thing at Daytona was a pothole. Lake Lloyd is a pothole. And everybody watching that race living north of Cincinnati knew that cold patch wasn’t going to work to fix that divot for long. Let me tell you about potholes…

Sprint Cup round two is the Auto Club 500. Jerry Wilson - the Diecast Dude – will be there for On Pit Row. Watch this space, and the Twitterverse, for his updates. It could get interesting.
