Daytona 500 Celebrates 50th Anniversary
A very good friend of mine has scored tickets, from another very good friend, to the Daytona 500 and races leading up to that. This is the 50th Anniversary of “The Great American Race”. They chose to invite my wife and I to the sold out race. We are all very excited to be a part of the tradition and rich racing history of Daytona International Speedway.
Musical guests Brooks and Dunn will perform as well as Chubby Checker, Kool and the Gang and Michael McDonald. Richard Petty will be the honorary starter as Jimmie Johnson and Michael Waltrip line up first and second. A link to all of the contending drivers is here.
The US Air Force Thunderbirds will perform the flyover.
