WOOHOO!!!! There are cars RACING at Daytona today!!!!! And I'm happy about that.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kind of excited that it's finally time for the Rolex 24. I think it's a great race, though not one your likely to sit and watch flag-to-flag.

And besides the race itself, it ushers in the start of the new racing season.

That means Nascar is right around the corner. I will watch here and there to see how the Nascar drivers are doing.

Who are the NASCAR drivers that are racing in it this year? I checked in real quick today and I didn't really find them talking about that. I know that Gordon was in it last year.

Juan Puablo Montoya,
Jimmy Johnson
Scott Dixon & Dan Wheldon (ok, they're Indy guys and not NASCAR guys - yet)
A.J. Allmendinger (won the outside pole)
Dario Franchitti
Scott Pruett
Kurt Busch (on a Penski team with Helio Castroneves)
Bill Lester,
John Andretti (with AJ Foyt IV)
Michael McDowell (he'll be driving the 00 after Dale Jarrett retires)
Boris Said

I might have missed someone, but that's most of them.

and FYI Patrick Dempsey (from Grey's Anatomy)

I watched some of this race for the first time because my man John Andretti was in it. I thought it was great. I loved seeing cars driving in the rain at Daytona. I think I might start following the Rolex circuit. Unfortunately I think the next race is not for a couple of months.
