"LET'S GO RACIN' BOYS!!!!"
I tell you what...I am VERY excited for the "big race".But as the 2007 season starts, I admit that there are things that I love and thing that I HATE about the Daytona 500.
Love - That NASCAR is back
Hate - The celebrities who show up once every year and act like they've loved NASCAR or have followed racing their whole lives
Love - The tradition of the biggest race being the first race. (although I'm starting to feel like the race at Indy is JUST as big to the drivers)
Hate - All the BS pageantry. What's next; a swimsuit competition?? (although I wouldn't mind seeing Carl Edwards in his....)
Love - The lake where the rich and famous take their sponsored boats out for a ride
Hate - Speed Channel's NASCAR Race Day. 3 freakin hours of listening to Kenny Wallace and Jimmy Spencer. It's funny how never-have been's know SO much about racing yet they can't even make the field. Can we get some REAL experts who aren't as annoying?????
Love - The "cheating" issue; maybe it's me but this sport has been so watered down by Brian France...it's really nice to see something interesting going on.
Hate - The Dale Jr Show. Even if this dude is 10 laps down they'll still follow his car for 10-15 minutes. I don't give a shit where he's running. How about the others who are fighting for a top 10??
Love - The new Nextel commercial where Elliott Sadler approaches Jimmie Johnson to tell him about his driving and Jimmie phones in his Cup trophy. Now THAT is classic!!
Hate - The fact that they'll probably show that Jr Direct TV Hotpass commercial at least 50 times today.
Love - The way that ESPN is treating the Busch series AND NASCAR in general
Hate - That they didn't cut from commercials to show the wreck live
Love - The invocation. Something about it makes me warm and fuzzy
Hate - The anthem and wondering whose going to butcher it this year?
Love - That for two hours after every Cup race you can tune in to Sirius NASCAR Radio Channel 128 and hear the BEST show called "Post race with Packman". If you want to hear a show with brains and a TON of humor, check it out!
Hate - The fact that I DON'T have Sirius Satellite radio.
Enjoy the show!!
(BTW, my prediction is a past winner is going to win again today....)

Spencer and Wallace are great hosts of RaceDay. They are informative and entertaining and while never were great drivers, both were (and are)good drivers. No, you probably can't find anyone with better abilities on camera or behind the wheels for that show. Rusty is a close as you'll get and he got a job.
Give em a break dude, They do a great job. In fact the ratings success of RaceDay shows many enjoy the show.
