Daytona 500


I am trying to get some things do around the house. I am really sorry about my blog. I am going to do a lot better in the future. I will be posting a blog on almost everyday until I get a little tired of writing. This blog is about the hot trends on the internet. It is really interesting to see the hot trends from google.


Today, the hot trends is the Daytona 500. I miss it because I had a drainage problem at my house. I had to get a drainage snake to fix the problem. Everything is work a lot better now. The smell was a little too much for myself.


The Daytona 500 is a huge race. The Roger Penske Dodges ganged up on Tony Stewart during a three-lap run to the finish Sunday, propelling Ryan Newman to victory in the 50th Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.


The victory was team owner Roger Penske's first at a restrictor-plate racetrack, and with Kurt Busch running second behind his teammate, it was the first time Penske cars have finished 1-2 in a Cup race.


Newman broke a 81-race winless drought with his 13th NASCAR Cup series victory. His previous win came in September 2005 at New Hampshire.


Stewart salvaged a third-place finish, with Kyle Busch finishing fourth despite leading 86 laps in the race's dominant car. Reed Sorenson ran fifth and Elliott Sadler sixth, followed by Kasey Kahne and Robby Gordon -- as Dodge claimed six of the top eight positions.


On Lap 195, Casey Mears, who was running fourth at the time, moved up the track across the nose of Stewart's No. 20 Toyota and slammed into the Turn 1 wall to bring out the seventh caution of the race and the fourth in the final 24 laps.


Jeff Burton had the lead on the final restart but was quickly shuffled back and finished 13th.
Busch was dominating the race in his No. 18 Toyota, having led 81 laps, when NASCAR threw the second debris caution of the afternoon on Lap 151. Busch restarted second behind Greg Biffle on Lap 156 but quickly regained the lead, pulling Stewart with him.


The first wreck of the day, when David Ragan lost control and pinched Roush Fenway teammate Matt Kenseth against the wall at the Turn 4 exit, brought out the third caution on Lap 161, and subsequent pit stops under yellow scrambled the field.


Busch was 11th when he restarted on Lap 166 and moved doggedly toward the front while Stewart, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, traded the lead with Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished ninth. When defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson got caught in the middle and went spinning after a tap from Sam Hornish Jr. off Turn 2 on Lap 176, all but five of the leaders came to the pits again.


Busch, however, slid across the front line of his pit stall on the stop and restarted ninth on Lap 181. Clint Bowyer quickly took the lead only to be turned into the infield grass by Juan Montoya on Lap 184.
