Hey! I think we got a goodDaytona 500.Right? Sure, about four of you angrily emailed me during the final stage yesterday because they were in fuel-saving mode and just riding around, but whatever. You can't win 'em all.
But, I think this one checked off all the boxes. Big wreck, but no red flags (or trips to Halifax). It didn't end under caution. NASCAR actually let them race. Bubba didn't win and start WWIII.
All in all, I think it was a successful Sunday. Sure, I'd assume NASCAR would've much preferred Chase Elliott towin over Tyler Reddick– for multiple reasons – but I'm convinced Chase will never win this thing, so that's a pipe dream at this point.
Anyway, we'll get to it all, obviously. I also have some SOLID #content out of the Daytona 500 infield, Natalie Decker had an unbelievable weekend, Bubba was maybe the most dramatic he's ever been yesterday, and I'll go ahead and plug my Big J Dale Earnhardt story since the anniversary of his death is technically not until Wednesday.
Four tires, a splash of Sunoco racin' fuel, and maybe a little pick-me-up for Kyle Busch after he did one of the funniest (and saddest) things I've ever seen with two to go yesterday … Monday Morning Pit-Stop – the ‘Hey, Can You Guys Be Quiet, This Is A Working Press Box!’ edition – is LIVE!
Nobody here will understand that except maybe one person, but it's funny. I was scolded yesterday after the race by some Big J in the media center because apparently we were talking too loud.
God forbid we laugh in that hellhole. Sorry, pal. Sorry you can't work on your cute little story that nobody will read because some people are laughing on the other side of the room. Thoughts and prayers.
Amazing. What an industry I've chosen.
Anyway, let's dive in. I have to drive home this morning, so we're gonna be quick today.
Chase Elliottwill never win a Daytona 500.I'm convinced of it. He came close in 2017 and then ran out of gas with two laps to go.
