Spring Gonna feel like early spring this week with temps in the 50's

Dodge is rumored to be returning to NASCAR. First in the truck series in 2026 with the Ram 1500 then the following year with the Charger coupe in Cup and Xfinity series. It is unknown if they will go with a V8 or make a race engine with the new i6 engine.

A certain spray tan addict had to stroke his tiny ego and forced NASCAR to delay the start till he arrived and lapped the track William Byron winning back to back Daytona 500's was pretty cool.

Yeah that was crazy, that was such a once in a billion fluke how it got airborne. It's funny I read on the NASCAR subreddit someone commented every Daytona 500 they've been to a driver named Ryan had flipped, and they apologized to the 2 Ryan's in the race because he was were there lol.

Inspector

Yeah he was really motivated since he doesn't have a full time ride. Guess he's got another few starts this season and that's it. He should just go to truck series, he'd probably do better there.

What a joke. I turned it off for now, got sick of all the pandering and *** kissing. Was supposed to start early but now they'll be lucky to even beat the incoming rain on the radar.

Wow that Smokey Yunick prepared Fireball Roberts Pontiac had a very distinctive exhaust note. If he didn't have engine issues he would have won that inaugural 1959 Daytona 500, he was a lap ahead of Beauchamp and Lee Petty.

Interesting to see some teams pit crews in plaid shirts and jeans lol.

Auto

At 8:20am the 1959 Daytona 500 highlight reel will be on, at 8:30 1964 Daytona 500 highlight reel. Interesting to see how far safety advancements have come. They just did a safety bit on Richard Petty's Dodge Charger. Back of his seat is just a steel hoop with no foam padding.

The flu has hit my work hard the past few weeks. Made it kind of interesting as the boss sent the one coworker home. Other coworkers told me boss has never done that, even during COVID . We all think it's due to the one coworker recently finding out they have cancer and they're trying to work as much as they can before chemo treatments. Hope you feel better today Roger. Looking outside this morning I see we got more freezing rain and now it's snowing again.

If anyone wants to get their NASCAR fix in before the Daytona 500, @1:30pm eastern today, there's a free NASCAR channel on the free TUBi app. Race on now is the 1976 Daytona 500.

Is it spring yet? Kind of had my fill of all these freezing rain snow freezing rain snow freezing rain snow storms. Took 20 minutes to break into one of the cars Thursday morning because they were both encased in an ice snow ice blob.

Docks

Could be Kyle Busch's year, similar stats to Dale Earnhardt when he won his only Daytona 500. Winless season last year, 20th Daytona 500, RCR team. I'll be happy as long as it isn't a Toyota though lol.

On our way out the door this morning it was -3 degrees F wind-chill/feels like -15 to -20. The stray cats near work made it through, fed them and gave them fresh non frozen water on 1st break. This weekend will feel balmy in the mid 30's.
