2021 Daytona 500

[Skeet6]

I think starting the race so late is stupid - anyone could see the weather coming. But, at least we got to see Kyle Larson grovel and the repeated clip of MJ - "I don't write checks for losers"... then, a puff piece on the crappy Days of Thunder movie. Really? NASCAR has become a parody of itself.

Pictures from Twitter of the last lap crash. McDowell was in the lead when the caution came out. Thankfully all drivers involved are out of their cars under their own power.
