I just arrived in Daytona a couple hours ago and just checked into my hotel room.  My plans for tonight consist of the Truck Series race and some behind the scenes gossip.  Fortunately I’m going to be hanging out with Todd Bodine and his crew for this race, so I’ll make sure I take as many pictures as I can.  By the end of the weekend I’ll have so much damn gossip I’ll need to make a new website to discuss all the drama and dirt that’s going on in this crazy NASCAR world. 

Just a little note as well… It was great to see Waltrip help out his team mate Dale Jarrett.  Dale Jarrett’s team owner Michael Waltrip did some serious drafting behind Dale to help secure him a starting position on Sunday’s Daytona 500.  All Dale Jarrett had to do was finish in front of the #00 car in order to secure his spot.  Dale Jarrett is planning on retiring this year and will be joining the commentators up in the booth.   Like I said in an earlier article, the Top 35 needs to be changed so that more teams can show up to a race and not have to worry about qualifying.  Fortunately Dale Jarrett who has been a three time Daytona 500 secured a spot but it was no easy task. 

Make sure you check back on Monday and see all of the pictures I post from this weekend.  I’m hoping to get a camera inside one of the driver’s meetings and see if they mention anything about “letting boys be boys.”
