Race to remember
I never really watch this sport but tonight Nascar was the prime time sport event. This race was a historical race in many different ways and had some crazy events during it. First off a Daytona 500 has never been delayed like it was. It was postponed from Sunday to Monday, then from noon to 7. This was because of the rain. It was also the first Daytona 500 ran under the lights. Then finally the race started. With Danica Partick being the 3rd female to start a 500. On the second lap a crash happened already. Jimmie Johnson the reigning champion was out of the race. Then with about forty laps left Pablo Montoya's car suddenly broke and ripped a hard right. Right into a drying truck which is filled with jet fuel. This fuel burned for awhile causing an hour delay for the race. Montoya and the truck driver were miraculously alright. There was 11 cautions throughout the race and there was one on the last 5 laps. In the end Matt Kinseth won his second Daytona 500. Congrats to him and glad everyone made it out alive.
