The shortest race of the year 2 hours and 39 minutes was perhaps the longest for fans viewing on TV. California showed once again why it has been reduced to only one race.
Well the long awaited start to the season is in the history books. The racing was long hard and not overly exciting at times. History did indeed repeat itself. But not the history folks believed would repeat.
So, what did we learn at the Daytona 500? Well, we learned that if the rest of the races this season are comparable to the first, 2011 will be one hell of a year in NASCAR.
