NASCAR is a very under-appreciated sport. People ask me why I watch NASCAR and I tell them it's like a shot of adrenaline for 3+ hours. Pretty intense. There's something about this type of competition, too. All the cars are pretty much the same. It's not like one driver can have more horsepower in his machine than another....they're all pretty much identical with the exception of engines and manufacturers. Because of that, it's me vs. you - let's see who can go faster. How can you not like that?
Anyway, today are the Gatorade Duels. These duels are used to determine starting positions for the Daytona 500 which is on Sunday. Jeff Gordon is already locked into the 2nd spot in the 500, though, because of his qualifying time. Hopefully he can put on a good show in this duel, though.
Finally, JG dropped DuPont for his new sponsor, the AARP. Seriously? I'm just waiting for him to add Just for Men on his quarter panel...
7:27pm - Just wanted to see if I could edit a post....and I can. JG finished 12th. Had some trouble on the re-starts and a caution with 5 to go didn't help. At least he avoided a wreck. Sunday should be fun.
