2025 Daytona 500!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Just wondering if anyone else is going to watch the race today… and if so what’s on the menu? Also, who’s your fav driver?

We are currently under a Winter Storm Warning… so going to let it snow and blow. Going to watch on a bit of delay as I hate commercials. We will likely start it here at 1 MST.

We have some snacks to munch on and will finish the rest of the Shepards Pie. Might try the smallest cut of Biltong too!

I used to be a hardcore Dale Jr fan… Nicole was the same with Jeff Gordon. I don’t think she has a fav now, but watches with me. If she had to choose I think she leans toward Michael McDowell. There’s a few I like, but lean towards rooting for Ryan Blaney.

Watching... Not cooking... Cocktail in hand... Listening to Scanner

Go Ross Chastain (local boy that I watched come up through) ... We call him Watermelon Boy

I like Ross as well. He’s a great driver and watermelon smasher!

I have to say, I miss Mark Martin… what a classy guy!

I was a Dale & Dale jr fan, but I have kept up with NASCAR for a handful of years now.

Watching and waiting for the weather to clear and hopefully they get the Race back going.

Not watching since Dale Sr has passed. The field just isn’t the same without “The Terminator “ I am braising a chucks in red wine and veggies though.

I'm hoping they get to run soon . Saw them line back up , went out and got firewood ,, and they were parked when I got back in . That has to affect the drivers .

Pot of chili on the stove . Boil some pasta , and grill some number 5 dogs .
Fire in the fireplace .
Go Blaney , or any of the Fords .

“The Terminator"

"The Intimidator."

Chuck cooked and eaten before lap 22. Love the Instant Pot.

I read that Trump showed up and ran the “Beast” limo as the starting pace car.

Yup. That's the way these super speedways are. The ones that can stay out of the wreck has the best chance to win. My driver was in a wreck early and finished 7th after it was all said and done

I became a Ross fan after I saw his rim ride of death.
That took huge balls and an all or nothing attitude, I love it.
But I'm a Kyle Larson fan for the same reason you're a Ross fan, I saw him race locally for yrs, they used to call him "Duck Bug" if you know, you know.
I left the house when the rain started, and I'm watching it now.

I'm pretty much a NASCAR hater these days, due to the pussification of the rules and the equal cars, half of the sport was watching teams dance around the rulebook, take Hendrix motors with Gordon, and Johnson, without their Chief's they wouldn't have half of the wins they do.


I never used to miss a lap of the races, now I have it on for the big races as background noise. It's more like NAPCAR most of the time these days, until the last 10 laps.
