 A February, 2011, press release from Daytona revealed that the move of the Daytona 500 to the final weekend of this February was done at the recommendation of Fox Sports, the broadcaster of the first group of races before TNT picks up the baton. The change was done not so much as to sidestep the ever-expanding NFL playoffs and Super Bowl, but to prevent the one weekend gap in March which the Fox Network felt that stopped the NASCAR TV ratings momentum! This year there will be NASCAR races every weekend through mid-November, with the exception of the Easter and Mother’s Day weekends.

Just ask those diehard NASCAR fans who purchased time shares during that week in order to attend the 500 how they now feel. Lots of loud and angry complaints. Not very happy.

 I’m sure as the changes were announced for this year in NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt and Jim Hunter debated the issue. As Speed Weeks arrived, the debate heated up.
“Tandem racing” grumbled Dale, “… not what the fans want to see”.
Hunter countered, ”NASCAR will adjust things so it’s not boring.”
After the Duels they both agreed it wasn’t as bad as they thought it would be.

 What a tremendous bit of driving by Trevor Bayne. Twenty years old, and he drove the entire race like a seasoned veteran.
He needs a solid drive for the rest of the year, and one can only hope that it all falls into place within the next week or two.
