THE DAYTONA 500

Well the official start of the 2006 Nextel Cup Season is today with the running of The Great American Race, The Daytona 500. Will a Virginian bring home the trophy or will somebody else, I think the last few laps of this race are going to be very wild. Tony Stewart survived yesterday to win the Busch race, there was huge crash on the last lap of that with several very hard impacts. I have posted below the top 5 vote getters in my blog poll of who is going to win the Nextel Cup this season. The UVA basketball team took it on the chin again yesterday falling to Fla. St. 76-62, I think they might need Keith to travel to some road games with them. The Riverdogs didn't fair much better yesterday either losing to Kalamazoo 8-3, the Dogs were never in this one. The Dogs will return home friday and saturday night before hitting the road for another 4 weeks before they return home. It was 14 degrees this morning here in CH, by far the coldest morning we have had this year. We are suppose to start baseball practice monday, but the weather isn't looking to good for that, I guess we will have to wait and see. MICKEY
