Daytona 500 ends at 380. Shame on Fox! Shame on NA$CAR! if this race had begun just 40 minutes sooner, the fans would have seen the full race and we don’t know who would have won. The network was burning daylight for an hour and forty minutes past the time FOX started the broadcast. With chancy weather in the forecast, Brian France, Mike Helton and the boys should have kicked Keith Urban to the curb and moved up the starting time. It has been done before.
This years edition of the Great American Race was a stinker. No one outside the Roush-Sox headquarters will remember this one fondly. The money changers rung the last dollar out of the ad market. In an effort to make the race go into prime time on the east coast market, they gambled with the Weather Channel and lost.
*BTW for some reason, my media button is not working. I can’t post a dang picture. Gotta find out what is up with that.
So much for Grumpy’s rant tonight. The full post mortem on the Daytona 500 may come later.

Ditto….The race ending so quickly had nothing really to do with rain…it could have been done.
Run the dang thing in the rain anyway…that would add some challenges! Rolex can do it…NASCAR can do it.
I really feel bad for Elliott Sadler, he was leading with raindrops on the windshield. Harvick gave the #17 a big push to pass the #19 just in time to get the big trophy and check.
