These new rules are garbage. Nascar "rule makers" are clueless.

In past Daytona races, if you “lost the draft” you would fall way back and eventually get passed by the pack and go a lap down. With these two car “packs” running so fast, could we see two car “packs” all around the 2.5 mile track Sunday? If Robby has a running mate, he could drop back half a lap and run there until go time.

TOG is at the track but unfortunately much of what we wanted to give everyone a "sneak peek" this week of the premium coverage but...we ran into a few snags. Pieces and parts didn't arrive in time. A couple of last minute infrastructure hiccups. TOG is also wearing more hats this weekend that we anticipated. Hopefully next week. It'll be well worth the $10 a month.

Bummer. I was hoping to sit in the lounge during the 500.

So who was spotting for Robby during practice? Get a wedgy from another spotter?

Nascar made this bed, I hope they are happy, butt buddy racing IS NOT racing!
