Nearly halftime at NASCAR as the boys visit Daytona for the second time this season. For my analysis of the first half of this season join me at:
This is the third of the four “wild card” races for our fantasy league. These 160 laps Saturday night under the lights will be just one big “Saturday Night Shootout”!! The double file restarts will also add to the excitement of the pack of 43 bumble bees swarming around the 2 1/2 high banks of Daytona!
The 13 of us have picked 8 different drivers to win, that means there just might be some shifting in the standings when the night is over and the fireworks have subsided. In light of his lack of performance this season, Dale, Jr. is longer the overwhelming favorite of the fantasy league to win at Daytona. However, he is still one of the favorites picked by 3 have picked to win the 2009 Coke Zero 400. The other favorite, picked by 3 as well, is none other thanTLVW (ol Kylie).
So Saturday night it will be time to light the candle. twist the wick, press the loud pedal, pull the belts tight, and let the big dog eat!!!
