It was Valentine's Day 1963! During pratice for the 1963 Daytona 500 a car crashed in the third turn. It had hit the retaining wall, flipped onto it's top and slide down the track to the apron, where it erupted into flames. The driver was trapped. Tiny Lund and several mechanics where returning from lunch and saw the crash. They stopped their car, jumped over the fence and went to the drivers aid. They tipped the car over just enough to open the door and pull the driver from the wreckage. He was badly burnt, but at the hospital he ask his owner to let Tiny Lund drive for him, since he felt Tiny had saved his life. The owner agreed and Tiny not only raced the injured driver's car, but won the 63 Daytona 500!
Who was the driver that was burnt so badly? And who was his car owner at the time?

I'm having withdrawals this badly, ladies and gentlemen. You can just name the year or tell why. As always, sarcasm and bad attempts at humor are also appreciated.

Are there any Nascar fans out there who know if the annual Nascar Nextel Cup Awards that originally aired on November 30 will air again? I missed the original broadcast and was wondering if it will be rerun so I can tape it. I can't seem to find any information regarding it on the Internet.

If the Daytona 500 is the first race of the season, why is the Budweiser Shootout listed as the first race on the schedule?

I'm just wondering, if I was to make these in driver colors and sell them on Ebay, would you buy one?

If so, how much would you be willing to pay?

With all the attention on safety concerns today. Why not address the problem with the glareing / Blinding sun issue ??
Build some tall, wide billboards outside the track or something.

Driver safety has came along way in Nascar since Dale Sr. died. The cars are much safer, most all tracks have soft walls in the high impact areas. I like the fact that drivers are not being killed or seriously injured in these cars today.
There is still a risk of being hurt or killed in a Nascar stock car, but the chances of it are a lot less than in the past.
It almost always seems that the driver that is able to drive just on the edge of being out of control is faster. Do you think the drivers of today think less about injury than the drivers of say the 70's when on that edge?

Those poor people looked so miserable having to listen to David Spade and Kelly Clarkson. Did yall see Tony Stewart roll his eyes when she was singing? I always thought NASCAR was more rock n roll then that.

What the heck was that plaid nightmare? It looked like something off the rack from K-Mart. Anyone else notice this hideous design?

.....the car slowly turns into dust and the voice over say's "Toyota impacts nothing".?
It's a 'green/earth' commercial but I thought it was funny being a Stock Car fan didnt you?.....From a competition and durability standpoint.

I mean, I wouldn't mind having a Chevy sitting in the weed's for 40 year's in the back pasture or in the barn because my Grand kids would eventually pull it out and restore it after I'm gone!

I guess you can't do that with a Toyota. The Toyota shortly turn's to dust.

What's the best idea for a tent and keeping cool? There's a chance we might not get a camping spot with any shade. And what about keeping clean, the showers there are always freezing and always a long line. I know they have portable showers, but I think I would still feel weird being naked with only a tarp separating me and everyone else.
