2012 NASCAR Season

I don't think you could script any of what happened this weekend. It's speedway racing... which is just... weird.

Can't wait to get to some regular racing now.

As for the season, I think Stewart will be strong again. Wondering if the 48 can get back to his winning ways.

I think if you were in attendance at Daytona you would probably not appreciate the drama. The cleaning of the jet dryer aftermath was so tedious!

My thought when Jimmie went into the wall on the second lap was that he probably has a high chance of taking the championship. That boy has some determination in him!

Meh, the cynical conspiracy nut in me says most of the wrecks could be indirectly intended, if not actually scripted, just by policies and by making a point to the various teams that "Hey if we don't get enough wreck action out there you lose sponsor dollars".

But the big jet fuel flame wall could totally have been scripted. It happened while nobody was really racing, there was a jet dryer out there on the track and a lone car playing catchup. The result was an almost perfect wall of fire across the track, burning jet fuel and looking for all the world like a pyrotechnic display designed to entertain the crowd.
