wow.

update: the unofficial results from daytona now list jeff gordon as the 10th place finisher. the official results should be released by nascar sometime monday.

nothing else describes that finish. harvick and martin down to the line. kyle busch losing it off of turn four. car after car after car piling up. clint bowyer crossing the line in his jack daniel's chevy not only on fire -- but upside down.

can you freaking believe that? it was just simply amazing.

congratulations to kevin harvick, but you gotta feel bad for mark martin. he's now 0-23 at the daytona 500. but ya know what? look at that guy. 48 years old and gets out of that car with a huge smile in his face. good for him, and i'm super glad he's not retired.

as rusty put it on nascar now "but doggone, what a great race." it sure made up for the struggles that the 24 had.

gordon finished 12th, which was incredibly remarkable for running way down in the standings through the middle part of the race. we'll go get 'em next week.

pick em updates coming soon.
