I Should Have Listened To My Son Regarding The Daytona 500


Last night at the dinner table, my son predicted that Trevor Bayne would win the Daytona 500 and we all laughed at his pick. We're not laughing anymore as 20 year old Bayne won the Daytona 500. Should have gone to the casino with his pick and would won have boat load of money.
It was another great 500 as the Wood Brothers, a team that almost went extinct a few years ago, went to victory lane. The team is so short of money that Bayne doesn't even have a ride for the whole year.
The race was exciting as there was close racing throughout the race and the usual accidents. Dale Jr. went out in the first green white checker. My pony, Clint Boyer and my other favorite racer, Matt Kenseth were taken out by crashes, and Boyer took 17th.
Paul Menard of Eau Claire WI. had a great race, leading a number of laps and finished 9th. Las Vegas native Kurt Busch finished 5th and Kyle finished 8th. Other Wisconsin drivers include Travis Kvapil at 32 and Kenseth at 34.
If this race is a sign of things to come, we're going to have a great NASCAR season and in two weeks, NASCAR is coming to Las Vegas for the Sams Town Nationwide race and Kobalt 400 Sprint car race. The trucks come in the Fall.
On to Phoenix next week and then Vegas. What a great Spring!
