I'm enjoying this, it is actually more exciting than what it says on the tin. 
Daytona 500 time!

Depends what you think it says on the tin really....this is a pretty average 500 to be honest.
Mind, I say that....and Jimmie Johnson stacks it.
***edit***
Jimmie lost it, other guys went into him. DW reckons flat tyre, certainly looks like it.

Now doesn't look like a cut tyre. Just got loose off the turn.

Oh man....been here before. Mark Martin going for a Daytona 500 win. Really, really hope he can pull it off this time. Lord knows he deserves it.
Ooo....that was a hard hit.

Right, got it figured out. Reed Sorenson bumped into Carl Edwards. The field got balled up. Dave Blaney got forced down onto pit road, but had a flat tyre. When he came out, it wouldn't turn left and he skated right into the wall and Ken Schrader.

My tin is the inexperienced, uneducated Nascar tin. I think i fall into the bracket of "driving round an oval(ish) type track must be crap". Thanks to people like yourself i am being educated. Thanks.

No prob. I'll say this though - I never saw what could not be attractive about 43 stock cars weighing 3400lbs each with huge power being driven recklessly

Right, unofficially here's how it ended up:

No such luck...
If you can guesstimate me a finish time for the Five version I might well still be up though...

3:10am according to the listings.
If you do miss it, NASCAR.com will probably have the video of it online soon. They've got some of the other wrecks up already.
***edit***
I keep wondering if I should do a slightly more professional thread, along the lines of the old F1 ones that Flibster used to do. Probably not worth the time though, considering how the F1 fans slightly outnumber the NASCAR ones on this forum....
Maybe I'll try something out for the next race. That said, it's at California....and will be a fairly dull race if the last few seasons were anything to go by.

Well when the next race is on, let us know, i adore the Nascar series, but always have to settle for the crappy recorded shows, so now i can watch them live albeit a lap down on the real thing

Race is on the 25th. Coverage starts 3pm ET (so 8pm GMT) on Fox. Will probably have a thread going when coverage starts.
Tell you what though....good though that ending was, close as it was, it'll never compare to THIS.
Darlington 2003. Ricky Craven versus Kurt Busch. Epic.

If anyone wants to see it - the final lap of the 500 is up on the NASCAR.com multimedia section.

It's the one labelled "Harvick Noses Out Martin In Photo Finish" or something like that.
