Title: Daytona 500 2012
Post by CRXYONE on Feb 27^th, 2012 at 4:38pm

I have been trying to watch this years race since 9 a.m yesterday. They called it due to rain on Sun, most of today was a wash apparently, finally got going aroud 3 pm pst, and then with only 40 to go, under caution, one of my favorite drivers, JP Montoya, clips a jet dryer truck, while under caution remember, starts a huge jet fuelled fire, and now it is 7:30 pst, and it is red flagged! What a crazy race!

This race was a joke - should have been called with 40 laps to go when it started to rain again.

Race? I thought it was just a really bad formation driving exhibition. I'm not sure what was worse, the race itself or the way Fox presented the race.

Well the drivers were all correct, in the red flag interviews every driver predicted a wreck, I just didn't expect that many in the last 40 laps. Hope they all have spare cars for next weekend !
