I don't care what you think of NASCAR but a 20 yr. old rookie named Trevor Bayne beating the best drivers on earth in the Super Bowl of NASCAR.....ON HIS BIRTHDAY is pretty fuckin' awesome! :clap:

i am not a fan, but on his b'day, and as a rook? nice!

Well... I don't think the drivers in NASCAR (as a group) are "the best drivers on earth", though there are some fine drivers in Sprint Cup these days. But that takes nothing away from the fine drive of Trevor Bayne today. I'm not the world's biggest NASCAR or stock car fan. But that kid did drive one hell of a race those last few laps. He did everything right and nothing wrong. :clap:

I thought it was pretty cool that the kid didn't know how to get to victory lane and kept saying "Are You Kidding Me Right Now!?" over his radio.

In sports we are so used to seeing great veterans win championships and then immediately after, they are selling their merchandise. With this kid, NASCAR doesn't even have merchandise of his to sell! :1orglaugh

and he had the class to thank Jeff Gordon for coaching him all week and working with him during the duel.

Worst "sport" ever!

This was a really bad Daytona 500. Let's hope that next week's race is better.

Yeah restrictor plate racing is getting ridiculous! Everytime the speeds go up at Daytona or Talladega Nascar finds a way to fuck it up!!

Take the restrictor off and let these car race at 220 mph! Make the catch fence taller and reinforced and don't allow fans to sit in the fron 10 or so rows and then you don't have to worry about cars flying into the stands!

Mehhh...it might be some sort of accomplishment if winning restrictor plate races weren't basically one big crapshoot. Not that I want to take anything away from him, even though I am, but basically the kid was just essentially the one that ended drawing the right ticket out of the hat this time. It's nice in the same way that somebody poor winning the lottery is, not in a way that's like an underdog outperforming much better competition in an actual athletic event.

I don't like NASCAR at all, and even less in the past decade or so, but from flipping through the channels today it seemed like one of the more boring Datonas I can remember.

Good for him. Guess who just got a lead driver contract.
