Is it her or is it bad luck? Title: Re: Daytona 500 start reset; updated: Danica Patrick wreck Post by: Chechem on February 27, 2012, 06:29:05 PM http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/02/daytona-500-live-blog-nascar-night-start-danica-patrick/1#.T0wfkPWDmSo
Quote 7:24 ET: Fox is reporting that there's significant damage to the cars of Danica Patrick and Trevor Bayne. And Jimmie Johnson's left on the business end of a tow truck. He hasn't had much luck here since winning in 2006. 7:21: The early crash also banged up the car of defending champion Trevor Bayne. The irony is that the first Danica commercial is running on Fox minutes after she got caught in the crash...

LOL Guess I'll have to read ESPN to see if anybody won/it was ever finished/it was cancelled. :dunno: Title: Re: Daytona 500 start reset; updated: Danica Patrick wreck Post by: Chechem on February 28, 2012, 04:55:08 AM Found it: http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/7623500/matt-kenseth-wins-wet-fiery-daytona-500
Quote There was rain, fire, soap suds and fog in the most bizarre Daytona 500 in history. When it was all over, Matt Kenseth was the only sure thing. It wasn't even close. Kenseth capped a crazy 36 hours for NASCAR by winning the first postponed Daytona 500 in 54 editions of the marquee event. He held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle over a two-lap overtime finish in a race that was scheduled to begin Sunday afternoon but ended in the early morning hours Tuesday. "We had a really fast car and have fast cars in the past, and I figured out a way to mess it up," Kenseth said. "I am glad it all worked out." WHO? I should have bought a program. :( Title: Re: Daytona 500 start reset; updated: Danica Patrick wreck Post by: Chechem on February 28, 2012, 05:07:40 AM (http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/242475/2012-February-27-22-44-20.jpg)
