If you missed the end of the Daytona 500, you missed one of the better finishes the sport has had to offer of late. With pundits predicting another romp by the Hendricks boys, only Junior made it into the top 10 (ninth).
The Toyotas came reeeeeal close to winning the first race ever won by a "foreign" marque, but despite leading most of the day Kyle "the Shurb" Busch and Tony "Smoke" Stewart ended up behind "ain't-won-since-95" Ryan "Rocket" Newman and perrenial "other" bad boy (usually playing opposite Smoke) Kurt Busch in good ol' American Dodges. It marked the first Daytona win for owner Roger Penske, as well.
The pre-race show looked kinda' stupid — nearly as bad as the Super Bowl half-time shows — but it is the season opener, so I'll cut NASCAR some slack.
Next Sunday, Fontana in California, the only track on the circuit that doesn't sell out.
Gah-damn Californians.

Tom Petty put on a great half time show for the superbowl. I have all his albums.
