What it proves
Yesterday, like millions I'm sure, I sat watching the Daytona 500 race which was basically a Toyota-fest right until the final lap when Ryan Newman driving a Dodge was helped by team mate Kurt Busch to win. Hendricks Mororsports drivers, other then Dale, Jr, were never a factor in the race, so throughout it looked like one of Joe Gibbs Toyota's driven by Tony Stewart or Kyle Busch (Kurt's little brother, and a driver I love to see lose) would be sitting in victory lane. But it was not to be. Right out of nowhere comes "Rocket" Newman and his team mate Busch the elder to surge past Tony Stewart and little Kyle. What that proves is you can sit and watch a NASCAR event for over three hours right up until the last few laps, and never really know for sure who will win.
