Daytona "News" and Notes



--Finally, real racing is back!!!

--Nascar is the sport with the shortest offseason, but after watching the same prepackaged stories on RaceHub for the umpteenth time, it seems like the longest.

--You know you're missing Nascar when you start complaining instantly after the Duels--oh, wait, that's the jaded media.

--Fox is using a "zip-line" camera for the first time, a remote-operated camera mounted on cables suspended over the frontstretch.  The XFL--its the gift that keeps on giving.

--Is it just me, or is Matt Kenseth's orange rear bumper kind of weird?

--Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. aren't Nascar's first couple--Elton Sawyer and Patty Moise were married and raced against each other, although it was in the Busch (now Nationwide) Series, and nobody cared.

--So according to Clint Bowyer, I could walk into a car dealership wearing a firesuit and be able to test-drive a race car.

--Which will be more--Carl Edwards sponsors, or Carl Edwards torn-up cars?

--Again, finally, real racing is back!!!
