The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season officially kicks off today with the 2012 Daytona 500. The weather is threatening with rain definitely in the forecast for today. Let’s hope we get a full, safe race in today.
The Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide Series both kicked off their seasons in Daytona with a lot of bent sheet metal. Neither race made it to the checkered flag before last-lap wrecks ended the race short of the finish line. Given the mess that the Sprint Cup drivers made of the Budweiser Shootout last week I don’t hold much hope of a clean-and-green Daytona 500.
I can’t wait to get the NASCAR Sprint Cup season underway. Let’s go racing!
