I will be in my garage working on my '69 Prix.....but with my door open I can hear all the action. One of the perks of a Daytona zip code!

I'll be DVR'ing the race as we'll be at the Minnesota Wild game. We have a partial season ticket (weekends only) and this was part of our package.
I"ll also be celebrating my birthday after the game at "Herbie's on the Park" (nspired by the legacy of Herb Brooks & the Minnesota Club, Herbie's on the Park is the quintessential social house) at the Whiskey and Wine with the Wild charity event hosted by Wild forward Zach Parise. I'll have to watch the race tomorrow when we get home from St. Paul. |

I will try to watch the race. Wife is not a fan so I will probably have to hide out in the bedroom. I always get excited for the 500, but by about the 3rd week of the season have little interest in it. Also, did they change something? I was watching qualifiers and they were driving supras and mustangs! I thought they were running 4 door cars. Bout time they got something realistic. |

Rules change over the off season, the Thursday night dual races there was very little passing except for the last lap. Sometimes when they make aero changes it takes the drivers time to get used to how the cars handle with a different aero package. Many times I've seen the 500 be much different than the preliminary races proceeding the 500. I hope it proves out like that today.

Shows how long it's been since I've watched a NASCAR race...I didn't know they were running Mustang bodies these days.

I watched the first half of that game on NBC's hockey night. They were down 0-4 by that time. Then my older brother came home so I switched it to the (once) great American race. The Rangers vs Penguins game was better. |
