Great Finish!!!



I'm not into racing, but I do usually watch the end of big races, including this past weekend's Daytona 500, which Gordon finished very strong to take home his 3rd Daytona trophy. This is being dubed as one of the wildest finishes in the 47-year history of the race, 4 lead changes in the final 9 laps and two crashes involving 17 cars in the final 20 laps. Your thoughts on this race?

I actually tuned in to the end of this race as well and wow what a finish! I thought it was pretty impressive how Dale Earnhart JR went from 30th place to 3rd place in the final 7 laps. It was funny because I told myself prior to the race that I was going to actually sit down and watch this thing. So I turned it on at the beginning and I was pretty pumped but then after about 3 laps I was bored and decided to tune into it at the end to see who wins. This is what I think about NASCAR or racing period: Great to watch the start and finish but what the hell do you do in between? I think NASCAR is on the rise in popularity but it's hard to root for any team or individual because there is no home team. So I guess that is what gets taken out of it for me.

I forgot about Earnhart Jr's run to the finish line, good example! I couldn't agree more that NASCAR is fun to watch from the beginnng and at the end. I've never been a fan of car racing, not really sure why. I don't even like to work on my car if I don't have to.

Tell you what is kind of fun and morbid to watch is those wrecks. I hate to see people being injured, but it's amazing how some people can actually survive, especially when their cars become airborn like in Formula 1 races.
