I can’t believe this and they get away with price gouging. Makes you wonder who the owner is since he is unwilling to comment, probably is from the Middle East over here on a free ride. Sorry but this kind of thing just really upsets me and it effects all of us.

Gordon gets belated return to victory lane - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports
My hat off to Jeff Gordon and his entire team on a fantastic race yesterday. It didn’t appear at first that Jeff had what it needed to win the race but he got up to the front and never looked back. Oh there were a few flubs on pit row but the team overcame them and charged right back up to the front.
In the closing laps Kyle Busch could not keep Gordon from getting the lead back and taking home the win from Phoenix. I know there are a lot of Gordon haters out there but you know what, this guy still has what it takes to win races and perhaps this could be his season for the “Drive for Five”.

Oil price passes $99 per barrel - Yahoo! Finance
Oh great, here we go again with the rise in gasoline prices. With the problems over in Libya, the stock market is seeing its effect and all of us will be feeling it very soon. It is expected that gas prices will hit close to $5.00 a gallon by summer time. Sounds like we have to start looking at drilling our own oil and you know what that means right, we might have to start looking at Alaska or looking at alternate means of getting around because I don’t know about you but $5.00 a gallon is going to hurt the pocket. I do remember the rise in gas back in 2008 and that hurt but it did not last that long but it was under different circumstances. There are just too many “what ifs” about what is going on over in the Middle East.
What are your thoughts?

Fryer's Five: Bayne better off racing for N'wide title - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports
I agree with what Jenna says about Bayne in staying in the Nationwide Series. He needs to develop his skills in that series before stepping right into the big shoes. He has a lot of potential and with the right training he will definitely become a top level driver in the Sprint series. Keep an eye out for this kid in the years to come.

Trevor Bayne, you are not dreaming...
You just one the Superbowl event of NASCAR, the Daytona 500. This was the thing that NASCAR really needed after a disappointing season last year with attendance and in my opinion just the lack of fans not wanting to watch the races due to having the same winners week in and week out. Here we now have a kid, and yes a kid, only 20 years old comes out of nowhere and takes the checkered flag.
As I watched the tandem duo's all day during the race, I had my eye on this kid. I was very impressed with him and also Regan Smith driving the #78. These two were always there being the pushers vice the pushee and they were hooked up with some veterans during the race. Hard to believe that you would want someone with one of those dreaded yellow stripes on their bumpers behind you pushing going close to 200 mph but that wasn't the case with Bayne. Now Smith is not a rookie but he hooked up with Dale Jr who is very selective on his draft partners. It was unfortunate that Smith got caught up in that late wreck but was able to salvage it for a decent finish.
We did hear a lot of talk during speedweeks about Bayne but no one really picked this youngster to win the Grand Daddy of NASCAR events. It is a shame that he is not running a full season and is committed in the Nationwide Series because he gets no points in the Sprint Series but hey at least he got the $1.5 million dollar check. Hats off to Bayne and his entire team and it was so great to see the Wood Brothers in Victory Lane after 10 years since their last win. This kid will be flying high for quite some time and his name is now part of the history books as winning the Daytona 500, he definitely has some company in that department. He may not win another Sprint race this year but he can always say he was the winner of the 2011 Daytona 500.
Congratulations Trevor Bayne!!!
