Daytona 500 Jeff Gordon Wins
Daytona 500 what a race that was
Who knew who was going to win the great American race the Daytona 500. The first part of the race was a little boring but man what a show we got at the end.
I am not shy when I tell you that I am a Jimmie Johnson fan but the more the race went on I felt myself rooting for Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin.
Poor Dale Jarret couldn't do much as his car didn't feel like running today. Bobby Labonte had some bad luck when his engine blew early.
The crash of the day involved Scott Wimmer who walked away from a horrible crash where he flipped quite a few times.
Dale Earnhardt Jr took the lead late but couldn't hold up as Jeff Gordon blew past him after Jimmie Johnson gave him a push drafting his bumper.
A late caution flag lead us to a green-white-checker flag restart and everyone was bumping each other. It was an exciting finish I just wish we could not have any commercials on television for the last 10 laps. Who cares if they are under caution I want to see the end without watching commercials. Who pays attention to them anyway.
