  9. 'Rolex 24 at Daytona' is a must add to your Bucket List

    Racing Gal &bull Jan 30, 2012

    I must admit, in all of my years of attending races and covering NASCAR events, yesterday was the very first time I have attended the running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway. But to be honest, the only reason I went was because I was given infield passes from a friend, which I thought was very sweet. So I asked Joe if he wanted to go. Although we only went on Sunday, it was something that I was totally NOT expecting. I had never seen the infield packed as it was for a non-NASCAR eventbut don't forgetour first… Full Story »

    Smoke caught lightning in a bottle with his incredible showing during the Chase -- five victories, including three of the last four races. It was one of the greatest stretch runs in NASCAR history. The odds of repeating that type of performance are stacked against any driver. Stewart will have a new crew chief in Steve Addington, who ranks among the best, but it usually takes a while for any new combination to jell.

    Typically, in this space, we'd be talking about the most recent on-track NASCAR dramas (thanks, Busch brothers!) from the previous weekend's racing.
