Daytona 500 is the most exciting track on the NASCAR circuit. It's also of the the world's ten most dangerous racetracks.
2010 Daytona 500: Jamie McMurray Wins -- McMurray held off Dale Jr. to win the Daytona 500. I agree with DW, "He looked like daddy coming through there." Jr moved up 10 positions in one lap -- going from 10th to 2nd. All Jr needed was 1/2 a lap and he would've won.

According to everything I could find they are saying he died due to injuries received in the crash. He was in a vegetative state after the crash.
This wreck actually was caused by a car not seen in this video. Before this video footage begins, Jack Ingram lost an engine and slowed drastically. #43 Freddie Smith (the car seen in the first ten seconds here) spins and is struck by #50 Joe Fresson. Fresson is the car that comes to a stop further down and nailed by #04 Delma Cowart, resulting in the fiery crash. Don Williams is in the #68 is the car seen at 0:20 going backwards from the wall.

Speed is airing a reflection on the 10th anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt in a one-hour special titled The Day: Remembering Dale Earnhardt Feb. 11 at 6:30.
Thought some #3 fans might be interested It will run right before the Bud Shootout selection show |

Wow ... Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica was seriously injured Sunday in a Rally car crash in Italy just a few weeks out of the start of the F1 season. Tough break. Kubica is rising star in Formula 1 series.

RedNeckRaider -- I get the feeling this is a Nationwide race at Daytona. Check out the car in front of Harvick -- Funny. Drama galore -- Sponsorship from Miccosukee Indian Gaming was terminated in all three of NASCAR's series in Feb 2010. The Indian tribe had been sponsoring Kyle Busch's truck & Cup driver Almirola. Miccosukee also had a contract to sponsor a driver in Nationwide full-time. It was crazy -- Teams were left without a sponsor for Daytona and beyond.
I'm mostly sure owner Jim Finch and Phoenix Racing took the "tribe" to court for breach of contract. Hopefully, it didn't wind up in tribal court.
