That was the Daytona 200 yesterday. What a shambles! How did it get to this? Instead of a 57 lap endurance race we got a 27 lap race which was red flagged because of tire wear problems, which is a well known problem here, a restart of a shortened 15 lap race that is red flagged at the first corner, and finally completed amid dispute about the minor placings. Never mind that the eventual winner changed an engine during the red flag stop!!! And what does the commentator say about that? Congratulations to the crew for getting it done. Where else is this allowed? To top it off the NASCAR Channel, aka Speed, switched over to the the Camping World Series before the last restart and replayed it about 11pm EST. I guess they know how motorcycle racing rates. Enough said.
