Thinkin’ Out Loud: 2013 Budweiser Duel 150s at Daytona

Duel One – Kevin Harvick thought it was time to go, prior to the first green-flag pit stop of the race and he went, blowing by Trevor Bayne on Lap 37. That was pretty much all she wrote. The field spent the rest of the day simply trying to lap up Harvick’s beer exhaust, the Bud Chevy in another time zone just like the Sprint Unlimited Saturday night.

Duel Two – Jeff Gordon led. Then he sped… on pit road, so Kyle Busch pretty much took control from there. Kasey Kahne tried, and failed on the last lap to make a charge as teammate Matt Kenseth served as sacrificial lamb for Busch’s second career Duel victory.

Truckin’ Thursdays: Miguel Paludo on Offseason Fun and Prepping for 2013

I can’t believe how fast the offseason went by. I thought it wouldn’t be that quick but it really was. After Homestead, it was the first time since we moved to the United States that we didn’t go to Brazil right away. We applied for our green cards and you can’t travel until you receive the card. Well, you can travel but you have to get a visa and it takes a really long time. So we planned to be here in the U.S. for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It was nice to be here in a different situation — not just racing. I had my in-laws come in and Patricia was happy to have them here. We enjoyed Christmas and New Year’s Eve together at home. It was pretty simple for just ourselves with a nice dinner.

Speeding Through Summer: Danica’s Driving And Drivers Of Years Past

Can you believe it? The season officially starts this weekend with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, as well as the Nationwide and Truck Series running on Saturday and Friday, respectively. Though I’m sure we’re all happy to have all three series back, I can’t imagine anyone is still going through racing withdrawal. After all, there’s been a race on TV almost every day except maybe Sunday (three hours of qualifying should suffice), not to mention all of the practice sessions. But we’re officially getting underway now, and many of you have unanswered questions as Speedweeks heads towards its crescendo.
