The Daytona 500 finished with Matt Kenseth the winner. Rained out on Sunday, started on Monday and finished early Tuesday. Mitoosense has never been a big fan of Nascar, yet I found myself watching the Monday Night lineup. Hoping my girl Danica would do well I'm disappointed. Not that her performance wasn't stellar. Danica was simply a victim of a lap 2 train wreck when veteran Jimmy Johnson hit the outside wall spinning a color wheel of numbers about like first break in a game of pool. The highlight of the race occurred on a caution yellow lap 160 when a lone Juan Montoya hits the track jet dryer high in turn 3. The result was 200 gallons of jet fuel explodes into a fireball and a red light stopping the event. Out runs the fire department and then the safety crews cleaning the fiery spill. Two large fork truck speared the disabled safety truck and jet dryer off the $10 million dollar paving. Brushes, fire hoses, lawn spreaders and boxes and boxes of Tide laundry detergent was used to clean the mess.
The winner at 500 miles was Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth followed by bridesmaid heir apparent Earnhardt JR. My girl finished deep in the pack.
