In an awesome move, FOX has brought back its old/original NASCAR theme music.

NASCAR on FOX has 'new' theme music for 2016 season

Good article here. Fred Lorenzen's winning Daytona car from 1965 is still being raced, and Mike Skinner's still driving his 1995 Goodwrench truck.

As Daytona 500 Nears, a Super Fan Has a Connection to the Past

I predict Kyle Busch will win the Daytona 500 today.

Hamlin wins the Daytona 500 in the closest 500 finish ever. Wish Truex had won.

Would like to have seen Truex or Kenneth win over Hamlin.

Now onto the real season!

Johnson wins at Atlanta. I thought the racing was pretty good. Lot of room to get better but was kind of cool seeing cars sideways in the corners.

 

[Bama Ravens]

I didn't feel like it was really much better than last year. Maybe it was just because Johnson won...

Atlanta is now one of the most boring tracks on the schedule. Which is sad, I never missed an Atlanta race in the past. Since 2006 I haven't been back and sadly don't miss it. Time for Burton to repave the damn thing or make some changes.

I'd rather see him fix Bristol back to the way it was before Atlanta.

Btw, that Phoenix finish last weekend was close. Too bad I don't like Harvick or Edwards.

Also, we haven't mentioned that Stewart-Haas is switching to Ford next year. That means their partnership with Hendrick will end, as well.

Good to see Dale Jr. is getting back to his old, not in contention for wins, self. He had a couple of years there where he was abnormally winning a couple of races a year.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Honestly, this has been a crap season. Very boring.

NASCAR isn't even a shell of its former self anymore.

 

[The Dude]

I honestly haven't watched a full race all season. Didn't watch one lap of Texas. I think the racing is better, but just doesn't have the same appeal it used to.

 

[Bama Ravens]

The amount of people in the stands at Bristol is embarrassing. Hard to believe considering it was once nearly impossible to get tickets, even for the spring/day race.

 

[The Dude]

I blame half on NASCAR and the other half on Bruton for screwing up the track. Ever since he took banking out and made it progressive banking, the racing has sucked.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Kyle Busch 'sick and tired' of Bristol after crash

 

[The Dude]

he's a whiney thing but he's right!

Smoke will return this weekend at Richmond.
