Daytona 500

[Homerunsox2005]

The first race of the season, The Daytona 500, is this Sunday. The Daytona 500 is the biggest race of the year, and everyone wants to have a shot to win it.

The late Dale Earnhardt Sr. will be remembered during the third lap, as it has been 10 years since the tragic accident. All fans at the race will be silent, and hold up the number 3 during the third lap during the race.

Is anyone going to watch the race?

I'll watch some of it, I never watch an entire race though....

Trevor Bayne wins it! Wow...I had never heard of this guy before today.....

I thought Edwards was gonna pull ahead at the end....

Wow! Their were so many wrecks! 16 wrecks, including that one multicar wreck in the beginning that took out probably like 6-7 drivers.

Is the Daytona 500 race the most dangerous? Because of all the wrecks.

Racing is such a boing "sport". If it can be called that.

I agree. But Daytona is different...somehow it's somewhat enjoyable.

was at a hockey game so i didn't watch it. i know the post might be late, but i had some major computer issues that forced to me to uninstall my browser among other things.

I saw this race man, it was awesome. Could not believe the rookie won it. As for this being the most dangerous race: I would say most likely. This is the race people always want to win, so sometime they go to great lengths to do it.

The safety measures implemented now have made injury something out of the past though
