This afternoon is the annual running of the Daytona 500, and there's a local connection: Unionville native Gene Nead is the crew chief for driver Michael McDowell (Team #98)! My brother, an avid NASCAR fan, will be watching the race on his colossal-sized TV, and I've assigned him the task of reporting any Gene sightings.
Later: McDowell, who started in 37th position, finished in the ninth spot, just behind Danica Patrick, who had the pole position. Jimmie Johnson won, followed by Dale
Earnhardt Jr. No Nead sightings.
I know that hoping that NASCAR has a crash-free season would be as pointless and unpopular as wishing that the NHL has a fistfight-free season, but I hope the injuries are minimal.
