My Trip to Daytona


NothingIsEverything

1,798 views

So I went to Daytona to see the Coke Zero 400 Nascar race, and it was so fun, even with the rain delay. :3

 

A lot better than last year when it got pushed back a day and it still got rained out. This years race didn't start until 11:30 pm and ended at 3 am the next morning >.>

 

However, there was a nasty accident on the last lap at the start/finish line, the #11 of Dennt Hamlin gets pushed by the #4 of Kevin Harvick, Hamlin spins out and the #3 of Austin Dillion hits Denny at a weird angle and soars over two rows of cars and crashes into the catchfence. Austin's car goes from 200 mph to zero in a instant. What's worse, behind them, the #2 of Brad Keslowski spins out and slides into Austin's car. Luckily, Austin was able to walk away from the crash with just a bruised tailbone.

 

Some pics I took:

A ferris wheel that Toyota had. I didn't take a pic of it, but NBC had bumper cars as well

Carl Edwards' #19 Arris Toyota. Oddly enough, he didn't run this scheme at this race. He ran the Subway car instead.

David Gilliland's #38 Florida Lottery Ford. Also my current avatar. ^^ But I think it's bad luck because he spun out on lap 3 and got hit by the #32 of Bobby Labonte. :/

Sorry, had to do this.

 

Sounded like you had alot of fun there. I am not the biggest NASCAR fan, but it's always cool to see fans following their hobbies with such passion. :)
