Who are you picking in the Daytona 500?

Breaking news to all the conformist lawyers out there…it's ok to like NASCAR now. It's (unfortunately) no longer a redneck, moonshiners sport. Vansmack is a fan, and he's far from being a redneck (he wears a white belt, for chrissakes). Tickets start at $80 a pop, so it's becoming a downright bourgeosie thing to do…
So anyway, it would be hard to pick anybody other than Jimmie Johnson. So that's who I'm picking.

Before the first race of the season, he's on probation!
God I love him!

Better than that, I wear European suits 5 days a week!
But I throw my jean shorts on and a tacky Smoke t-shirt for every Sunday race! Woohooo!
Smackette is having trouble getting used to her boy Kasey Kahne in the Bud Car. She's thinking of changing allegiances.

I'm reading this book, which sets the record straight on the origins of NASCAR. A good read.

This should be one of the more exciting seasons in a while. The influx of all the open wheel drivers along with Johnson going for 3 in a row (and having Junior on his team) should be fun watching.
I just wish they could do something to keep me interested once football season starts.

Junior's gonna go balls-out and try to win this one, just to prove himself all over again. He just may do it.
My SO is down there for the race - staying in the infield. I fully expect to see him on TV sometime in the next few days - beer in one hand, cell-phone in the other, yelling something entirely inappropriate at the camera.

I'm buying another toyota simply because Tony Stewart drives one. Unfortunately, my next model doesn't come in orange…

After watching the Duels yesterday, it's hard to disagree with that.
Of course, no one has ever won the Bud Shoot out, the Duels, and the Daytona in the same year…
