Daytona Finish Wild

If you're not a fan of NASCAR, stop reading. If you are, then you probably either are a happy or a sad camper today, based on yesterday's wild finish when hard charging Kevin Harvick beat NASCAR's most sentimental favorite Mark Martin, by a couple of feet to cross the finish line and win the prestigious Dayotna 500. It was wild to say the least, considering that behind the two side-by-side racers heading into the final turn, others were wrecking all over the place. I was hoping Martin would win, because he's an old guy (in NASCAR terms) and was driving the Army sponsored car. But, I was also glad to see Harvick win, instead of other drivers in the final mix at the end that I do not care for...Kyle Busch being one. But, it would have been great to see Mark standing on top of his car after the race, celebrating as the winner, as hard as anyone could possibly do. The nice part of all this is that the racing season has just begun. Hold on.
