There’s a word that begins with “R” that we don’t like to say at the racetrack….and it’s not RACE…. But, somebody must have said it aloud, because late this morning the "R" word appeared, and visited off and on all day.
But, that didn’t stop activity….
We visite
d Tom and Squirrel (the driver of the hauler) who keeps us laughing every time we see him. We also went to Victory Lane and s
aw the winners trophy…the Harley J Earl trophy awarded to the winner of the Daytona 500. It is named after Mr. Earl, who was a NASCAR commissioner, but also was an influential car designer, and is called the “father of the Corvette”.
There was a “Hot Rods and Reels” fishing tourney that started ea
rly this morning on Lake Lloyd—a charity event. For a donation, you 
get in a boat and fish with a driver for an hour. There were a lot of people to watch them launch the boats, and a cool little remote controlled camera that was flying overhead taking pictures.
In spite of 
the "R" word there was plenty of activity inside the track --turkey legs anyone??
Or, check out this ride…
The “Air Titan” (NASCAR’s new drying system) came out and dried the track, and the truck race went on, only an hour later than scheduled. Many were surprised they even got the race in. It was pretty boring for most of the race. There was one big crash that took out several trucks, but it got really exciting with about 5 laps to go, especially when Kyle Busch made a last second move to win the race in a photo-finish! (.0017 of a second between the first and second place!)
It was another good day that didn't get washed out by the "R" word!
