Cool pics.

Race was rained out but not before it went far enough to be official. Rain outs sure do take all the fun out of it!

Good pictures! Those were the days of Thunder!

It is probably a good thing the rain ended the race. It certainly saved more than a few torn up race cars and bruised egos!

Good stuff, those classics!

But what about the REAL days of NASCAR?

Like back in 1979, at the Daytona, when Cale Yarborough got in an infield argument with Donny Allison (while Richard Petty wins) and ends up beating Bobby Allison's a**!
