Countdown to Daytona

We do it for the football games. Why not the Great American Race? It's also a good day to start it. (Sorry Bobby)

 

I've been waiting for some NASCAR talk. Bring it on....

 

I don't think you're getting it yet.

 

He's tore up. (Gotta start practicing the phrases)

The music is just awesome.

 

it's Santa!

 

Probably the most famous car to race at Daytona. This is Smokey Yunick's 67 Chevelle that he built to 7/8s scale.



Smokey Yunick

 

I believe the proper phrase is actually, "Wooooooo he done got tore up!"

 

How could you miss the opportunity to pimp such a sponser?

 

This one's not bad either.

 

Swervin Irvin

 

Although Ernie Irvin made the 36 famous, I always followed H.B. Bailey in the 36 car since he was from Houston. Bailey was an independent driver that built and owned his owned cars. I was always in a Pontiac which seemed to always be red. I believe he did a lot racing a Meyer Speedway in Houston. Other notable drivers such as Foyt and Terry Labonte raced at Meyer which was on S. Main.

I couldn't find his Cup car, but here's a Firebird he drove.

 

Thomas Mapother IV

 

You don't get it yet, do you?

 

He's a noob.

 

It would be a crime to pass up Harry Gant in the Skoal Bandit #33. Gant was always fun to watch on TV since he seemed to always take the high groove on the track, giving him the nickname Highlane Harry

 

Can't forget about the Tide Ride. Looking mighty tight getting into that corner.
