"I'm a POT-HOLE"

GEICO ads, IMO, are among the most entertaining ever, one simple-effective-humorous-non-relatinng concept after another: the GEICO Gecko,the Cave Men (launched a sit-com didn't it?), the Waltons saying "good night", Charlie Daniels fiddling.............but a'int the GEICO "Pot-hole" the absolute timeliest NASCARtie-in (perhaps) EVER? ....."THIS is gonnna begoooood, here comes one............OH NO, did I do that???..........let me get out my cell-phone and call you a WRECKER.... (and 49 track workers w/full-face helmets on).....SHOOT.........I a'int got no cell phone.........'cause I'ma PotHole...........so.........BYE".

Mike Joy..........."TORRENTIAL rains.........caused the pot-hole" (apparently, Daytona's first)

DW.................."NOBODY is leaving........I been looking at the parking lot and nobody's leaving"

Associated Press: "'Everybody was disgusted', said 54-year old Craig Wood, who moved to the infield to watch after much of the grandstands filtered out. Wood was debating how long he would stay. He was with friend Chet Boraski, 64, but was getting hit with continuous text messages from others poking fun at the long wait. 'Hey old timer, you're going to have to take a nap to finish tis race', one read............'Guess that stimulus money hasn't come yet for Daytona' another wrote".

Just how GRIM was it? Associated Press: "Hoping for a spectacualar season-opener to re-energize the industry, the delays instead sent NASCAR chairman (little) Brian France into the broadcast booth to calm an agitiated audience............"

So............way to go DW on that objective journalism...........another great one in the books!

Did all those people realy leave i no i was geting anoing siting and waiting they might not could help it but that should never have hapend with all the hipe that went to that one race and all the BS coverege man i don`t no i gess we will see

The voice of the Gieco pot hole is Neal Boorts's co-talk show host (can't think of her name). For whatever reason she is the voice of the pot hole and DW is the voice of NASCAR. Hmmm? There's some symbolism there; a pot-hole and NASCAR, they both are sinking.The it was a very good race thanks to the drivers, NO THANKS to NASCAR

Remember ISC/NASCAR's great investment-update-project a few years back involving Daytona's Lake Lloyd? An up-scale boating/dockside/Caribbean theamed experience right there at the Speedway! But they didn't stop with that......nope, the fan-pit-interaction-experience where eager fans could view the teams working on the cars via a window in the garage area! Guess the updating committee forgot the on-track-pavement dated to 1978.

Hey Bobby. I loved how Darrell kissed up when Brian France was up in the booth. Its amazing how Nascar does it to itself again. It was actually a very good race until the pot holes. Why does it take 32 years to pave a track. I could see if Daytona didnt make any money. But please! One thing I noticed that Darrell's mouth was still bigger than the pothole. There isnt a hole big enough to match that one on his face.
