3. For the briefest moment I read "Trump run over at Daytona today"...

I have not been THAT happy since Nov. 2016...

4. I'm glad that because of drumpf my husband won't watch the Daytona 500 for once.

Only good that drumpf has done since he took office.

14. He's keeping me from watching it for the first time in years.

Not that I'm a regular NASCAR viewer, but I usually watch Daytona.

17. Same w/hubby; he's a car guy & used to follow NASCAR more closely.

With Gordon gone, he quit watching so much and Daytona 500 has been it for a few years. Growing up in the South, I really dislike NASCAR and haven't watched more than a few min. with my husband in all these years. We're taking the dog walking on a nature trail for only the 2nd time today so it's a fantastic substitute for my usual Daytona 500 Sunday.

5. Leader Of A Dying Imaginary White Nation Pimps For A Dying Sport . . .

Appropriate.

If you follow sports or even just business news, you’d be hard-pressed not to see all the stories out there about NASCAR's dramatic fall in popularity over the past decade. From its height in 2005, America’s second largest sport has lost over 50 percent of its audience at live events and online.

NASCAR’s representatives and racing teams have chalked up this loss to everything from changing audience dynamics to schedule changes, all the while ensuring their sponsors (the life blood of the sport) that audiences are still there and engaged. Analysts attribute the loss to an overly long schedule, a misguided car redesign in 2007 that lowered the number of deadly but often exciting crashes and newer online entrants competing for audiences’ entertainment time and dollar.

12. NBCSports

It’s still on Fox (today) but when they went to highest bidder NBCSports they basically disappeared. NASCAR froze ESPN out of racetracks a while ago. Interviews outside the track. ESPN is losing money too but if it ain’t on ESPN it didn’t happen.

6. They are all there to see Trump, not the race, in his head.

I will watch only the end now.

7. Yep...the GOLFER in CHIEF went to Mar-a-logo AGAIN this weekend....

Now there are two big fat TFR's in place (temp flight rules) right over the top of WPB and Daytona.

9. What kind of golfer does not have a natural tan?

He is even a fake golfer.

[Ron Green]

8. Motor Sports really ought to die.

[Harker]

10. I suppose there might be electric car races one day.

I doubt that anyone would show up without the racket.

11. What, were the driving is the actual competition?

They had something like that in the 70’s. Everyone drove basically the same car. Drivers from NASCAR INDY even Formula 1. It died.

13. Change direction half way?

Make it less boring.

15. Change the oval to a figure-eight.

Way more exciting.
