“Hey, did you listen to the 20-year-old rookie won the Daytona 500!?”
The phone call came from the crony final week inside of minutes of Trevor Bayne’s unlikely victory. I couldn’t even fake to be interested.
“Oh, was that today? I don’t really follow NASCAR.”
In actuality, not being from Virginia or North Carolina, I don’t even similar to NASCAR racing, most reduction follow it. That’s not to contend I don’t like any automobile racing- I do.

Amateur racers from around a universe braved -24 grade F temps (in convertibles, no reduction to see who could finish a three-mile course a many times in a four-hour time limit. It should come as no surprise to sense which a team from famously frigid Russia took home a prize
