Nascar won't be coming to Watkins Glen International in New York this Summer, another event casualty due to COVID-19. The annual event scheduled for mid-August has been moved to Daytona, Florida.
At about 11:15 pm last night I was laying in bed watching as NASCAR gave the green light to start the rain delayed Coke Zero 400 in Daytona. It was then that the announcers were talking to Carl Edwards through his in car headset about the race that was about to begin much later than expected...
Less than a month ago I wrote about how a local driver led the way in open testing sessions at Daytona International Speedway. Well he's done it again.
In an open test session for ARCA drivers last week at Daytona International Speedway, former Lebanon Valley Speedway and Orange County Fair Speedway pro stock driver Sean Corr led the way.
So this February I went down to the Daytona 500 and it turned out Jake Owen was also at the race to perform. I was stoked because I love Jake and his music: both are just fun and easygoing. I was very fortunate, however, because he invited me to come see him the night before the race where he was doing an acoustic show for Budweiser and his buddy, Kevin Harvick.
With all the crazy weather surrounding the Daytona 500, I didn't hear very much about the National Anthem during the Nationwide race on Saturday night. It kind of surprised me, considering it was one of the most unique versions I've ever heard...
With the 2013 NASCAR season coming to an end last weekend in Florida, it doesn't take long for race fans to direct their attention to the new year ahead.
The annual mid-season event of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series takes place in Daytona Beach tonight. Toyota teammates Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth will lead the field to green for the Coke Zero 400 just before 8:00 p.m.
Tony Stewart normally would have something to cheer about today. It was an amazing race at Daytona. Unfortunately he's probably not drinking the "bubbly" tonite. There was also a terrible crash that injured many in the stands.
