The 54th edition of the Daytona 500 seems like it was written by Homer & directed by Peter Jackson. It was a true odyssey, both in time & action. It all began with the Sunday rain delay that carried over to Monday afternoon. The race's start time was moved twice, but I heard no one complain about dropping the green flag at prime time. When the cars did run, the racing was intense. Hell, it took only two laps for a multi-car wreck to happen. A crash that took out the Villain (Kurt Busch), the Young Gun (Trevor Bayne), old 5-Time (Jimmie Johnson), & the Sensation (Danica Patrick). Then throw into the crazy pot Juan Pablo Montoya's bizarre accident involving a jet dryer that engendered a wild fire on turn three. Absolute insanity! Does anyone remember Matt Kenseth winning the thing? This is why I watch racing! For the things you never think will happen. Thank you NASCAR for three days of craziness.
