Daytona "News" and Notes

(early this week!)
--Daytona marks the traditional mid-point of the season, as well as the point when people start complaining about how long the season is.
--The Pepsi 400 has, perhaps, best become known by the nickname Larry McReynolds has given it: "The resTRICKter plate race on the FORTH of JOOOO-ly".
--NBC takes over this week, ensuring us lots of awkward moments as Alan Bestwick throws it back to Bill Weber.
--Kenny Wallace is partnering up with Bill Davis on Saturady night. Wow--an alliance of such heavyweights could only mean one thing--a 31st place finish.
--Last year featured the valiant battle of Jeff Gordon against the "red team", showing that Nascar really had run out of interesting stories at that point.

ODDS:
EVEN--Casey Mears and/or Ryan Newman will be involved in "the big one".
20:1--Anyone will attend "The Bad News Bears" because Jeremy Mayfield ran a special paint scheme for the movie.
50:1--Richard Petty will pick a fight with Parnelli Jones.
