Daytona 500 ?
 
Steve, it's more like the commercial 500 for FOX. What a bunch of crap.
No wonder NASCAR has lost so many fans. I watch more and more Indycar
and Formula 1. I even go to fewer NASCAR races than I used to. I used
to go Daytona one year and Indy 500 the next. Now I go to Indy almost
every year. Maybe 6 or so NASCAR. And at the least 8 to 10 Indy car
races. What a bunch of crap.

I did like that one Coke commercial a bit ago. I guess one has to
understand that somebody has to pay for all of this, and I'm an over the
air viewer. But yes, there does seem to be a lot of commercials.

Commercials help 'pay the freight', so to speak.

My clients start gearing up for this a half a year in advance. With
endless revisions before the final to air. Some take Daytona 500 as
seriously as many take the Super Bowl.

By race time, I've done so many Daytona 500 spots, some for the
network, most for the local affiliates, I'm already tired of the race.

It's fallen into that group of programming that includes the Oscars.

I have been to Datona a few times before, mostly Daytona Beach. One time I drove right by the race track, there wasen't a race going on though. Google,,, Smokey Yunick and Daytona

Never been to a race there, but took the track tour a few times a couple of weeks after the race. I like the Daytona 500 as for me it's a sign of Spring, and we sure need it!

Yesterday or the day before, I read somewhere that more accidents happen at Datona race track than any other race tracks in America. I get an Comcast/Xfinity TV channel that has auto racing. But, I really like dare devil dirt track racing better... and Irish Road Bowling (Google Youtube it) and Irish trotting horses on the roads in Ireland and Greyhound dog racing and Rodeos, and my couch buddy doggy.
