Who has won the most NASCAR Cup Series races?
Fans will be in the stands at NASCAR’s season-opening Daytona Speedweeks next February.


The Daytona International Speedway has started hiring 2,500 people to work the marquee Daytona 500 and additional events planned for throughout the year.

“The Great American Race will once again have the aura and atmosphere that fans have come to know and love. From the pageantry of our pre-race festivities to the rumble of 40 engines roaring around the high banks, it’s the biggest stage in motorsports,” track president Chip Wile said in a news release.

The Florida track did not say exactly how many people will be allowed to attend, but The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that 25 percent of the 100,000 seats were filled for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in August, which was held under coronavirus protocols. Current ticket holders will be contacted about changes to their seats as a result of social distancing measures.

Oh, joy. Some people will get to see in person a bunch of cars driving around in a circle for 500 miles.

I like to watch this kind of racing. Grand Pix. And the local Saturday night dirt track. Ain't no BLM car in either one of those. BLM couldn't afford or compete in Formula one.

Dirt track is just a much smaller circle.

Dirt track is just a much smaller circle.

But its local and more of a hobby to some.

   I just as soon sit around an watch ice melt .

I'd rather clean the toilet bowl than watch NASCAR.

With the new rules and tube frame cars I have little interest in NASCAR now.
I will, or at least would before this  year, tune in for the Daytona 500.
Five or six years ago when the Woods Brothers won with a one shot wonder, I was glad I did and I had not watched for years before that.
With their BS politics, may never happen again but it is just as much for me loathing for the France boy that took over after Big Bill.
