Who are you picking in the Daytona 500?

Wow, your kickin' my butt.
 
 Has anyone else joined out there?  I noticed a few names I hadn't seen before.

sad to say I've literally been playing the racing fantasy challenges since I joined in 99/2000. I always, always, fuck myself over, because I keep a sentimental favorite on though.

I've finished first once a few years ago.  I believe thats the year Kahne first came out and I had him as my fifth driver and he didn't cost a thing.  Otherwise, I just plain suck because I don't watch racing enough.  I just play because most of the players are redneck friends of mine from Maine.

 Not NASCAR, but IRL (dude, I'm down with the acronyms, yo). Great debate going on Yahoo about Danica Patrick. Apparently she only weighs 100 pounds and some of the fatter drivers are bitching that she has an unfair advantage. Granted, she hasn't won anything yet, but whatevs, a good fight is a good fight.
 
 Even better are the fights over whether racing is a sport or not. Loved one yes-sport comment, which said "You try driving at top speed for 4 hours straight." Hey, I'm driving to Queens this weekend, so I must be an athlete like those guys, who sit for hours in their cars.

This one needs to go away.  It's been raging since she started driving, yet they fail to point out one flaw in there argument - she's not as talented a driver as the others in her class.  So regardeless of any perceived weight advantage, its clear that the weight advantage is not that great as she hasn't won a single race in 3 seasons!
