THE DAYTONA 500, VIRGINIA COMPLETES SEASON SWEEP OF VIRGINIA TECH

Well they will run the Great American Race today at Daytona as the 2011 Nascar officially starts the afternoon at 1pm.  I am predicting that 1 of the Hendrick cars in the race will win it, I don't who but one will win it.  In yesterdays Nationwide race at Daytona Tony Stewart edged Clint Bowyer for the win and it was a photo finish. All the drivers in todays race will be looking to avoid the big 1 and I think they will be ok until late in the race when they start taking allot of chances.  The Virginia basketball team has had a pretty rough time as of late but yesterday the knocked off Virginia Tech for the 2nd time this season at the JPJ Arena 61-54, the Cavs lead by 15 with 11 minutes to go in the game before Virginia Tech cut the lead to 3 points before the Cavs were able to pull out the win.  The Virginia baseball team is now 2-0 after beating Auburn yesterday 13-2, the Cavs had 17 hits in the game.  The Cavs will finish out the Auburn Invitational today with a game at Noon against Arkansas State.  It was a very bad day yesterday for local firefighters with the very high winds and very low humidity, there were several major fires in the area yesterday taxing the resources of the big 3 localities in the area Chesterfield, Henrico and Richmond.  Well I have allot to do before the race starts so let me run.  MICKEY
