I miss the Speed channel and Dave Despain. Always thought Wendi Venturini did a great job also. She still does

Agree. Hard to believe that the Venturini family sold their ARCA team.

I started looking at the time separation for commercials. Fox Sports is going to commercial every ~5 minutes…

That's rediculous!

I think you mean ridiculous, or at least I hope so.

Every single team that won during Speedweeks was involved somehow in the NASCAR antitrust lawsuit

Front Row wins the Truck race
RCR wins the O'Reilly race

and 23XI Racing wins the Daytona 500

I still haven't figured out how Byron managed to be on the lead lap at the end, let alone somehow being in the lead group at one point. If my counting was correct, he was involved in four different wrecks yesterday... at one point they had the right front completely off in the pits and were underneath the wheel well working on something, so I would have figured he'd at least lost two laps at that point.

I think he finished 12th, and I was happy to get that even after everything that happened.

Didn't mind seeing Reddick get the win, he really seems like a great dude.

I know it's a long season but for a couple of drivers, have a bad week at ATL and you are really in a tough spot.

It has started pouring rain here in Daytona about two hours and 15 minutes after the race ended.

Big play of the day: NASCAR moving #Daytona500 start time up to 2:15. If that race had started as originally scheduled we'd likely be slogging through a miserable "Could we restart?" rain delay. Big drops were already starting in Victory Lane and 20 mins later it was hammering.

Wow. Those are some great videos there, Glass and Wolfer.

*And did I see Byron just to the left of Reddick somewhere just into the beginning of that last lap? I have no idea how he could have been there at the end, but there he was. Gutsy performance to say the least.

(Hey, I have to manufacture something positive out of yesterday, for my guy).

Next race is Atlanta, Sunday, Feb 22, . Green Flag is at 3 PM

I was finally able to get a hold of my buddy who's brother in law works on the 45, sounds like everybody had a good time last night lol

There will only be 2 Ford cars in the NASCAR O'Reilly Series race at EchoPark Speedway this weekend:

Nick Sanchez (AM Racing) and Luke Fenhaus (Hettinger Racing)

OEM breakdown (39 entries)
- Chevrolet: 31
- Toyota: 6
- Ford: 2

What's happened to Ford in the junior circuit?

Ford hasn't put a lot of money into the series in some time. When SHR closed and Penske dropped their car, that was pretty much it. Trust me just cause there are a lot of Chevys, doesn't mean that they are all getting support. Toyota is really the only OEM that is just about all in with their cars. As a Ford guy I hate it.

So do I

.@NASCAR quietly introduced a new ultra premium hospitality concept last Sunday at Daytona called 1948 that will in some ways be its version of @F1’s Paddock Club, in what effectively becomes its top-tier ticketing option at a $10,000 price point per unit for a day. pic.twitter.com/P0G3xQ8eG3

Yep, TRD is pumping money into all the series, even down to the late model level. Been some crazy numbers thrown around the last few years for certain developmental drivers.

.@JoseCuervo is now exploring the potential of adding a team sponsorship to its @NASCAR mix after doing a league deal, per industry execs. https://t.co/WEeLuKs94w
