I want to tell you all that this past weekend was outstanding!! It was the 50th anniversary of the Daytona 500 and I was very fortunate to be in attendance.There was an extraordinary amount of activiities and pageantry leading up to Sunday’s race. On Thursday there was the Dual Gatorade 150’s qualifiying races that were wery exciting to watch. The results sets the starting order for the Daytona 500.
Friday evening was the Silverado 250 for the Craftsman Truck Series. It was a very cool night race that is always a shootout! Then Saturday afternoon the Nationwide Series ran an exciting 300 mile race.
But Sunday was THE 50TH DAYTONA 500!!!!! All the past 500 winners gathered and were honored on the main stage in front of the finish line prior to the start of the race. There was names like Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Marvin Panch, Buddy Baker, Freddy Lorenzen, David Pearson, Jeff Gordon,Geoffy Bodine, Junior Johnson, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, the names go on and on!!!!! I had to pinch myself, I was there with all these legends of NASCAR!!!!!
