Welcome to the 2008 season and Speed Weeks at Daytona!!!
We start with the Shootout tonight, or perhaps we started last night with practice when the 2 and 20 started the season out right with some extracurricular activities. "What happens in the big red truck stays in the big red truck."
The COT is now the Car of Today; shut up and drive it. More than one of the cars (16,48,24,?) running in the shootout is a "short track" car... We will see if the COT has eliminated that terminology.
Jr. is in a green AMP or blue National Guard 88 car. Not sure I'll get used to that, but he can now focus just on driving, not on all the DEI BS. Mark Martin in a black number 8 and the Budweiser is #9... I'm so confused.
The Indy invasion... Is it 4 or 5 Former Indy 500 champions now driving NASCAR? The real challenge is for the predominantly "Good Old Boy" announcers to pronounce their names.
Toyota has come to play!
It should be an interesting season.
