Sargeant out, Colapinto in

Williams F1 team drops Logan. The timing is odd; I thought this would happen before the Summer break or after Monza this weekend.

They ain't tied!!!

NASCAR officials award Bobby Allison with 85th Cup victory

Quote

NASCAR awarded Hall of Famer Bobby Allison with his 85th Cup Series victory Wednesday, amending the record books on a disputed 1971 race at Bowman Gray Stadium and moving the 86-year-old driver into sole possession of fourth place in the circuit’s all-time win list.

NASCAR CEO and chairman Jim France and vice chairman Mike Helton visited Allison on Wednesday to inform him of the recognition. The decision breaks a tie and moves Allison ahead of 84-time winner Darrell Waltrip in NASCAR’s history books, where the Alabama native now ranks behind Richard Petty, David Pearson and Jeff Gordon.

Allison received the trophy and first-place prize money in the Myers Brothers Memorial 250 race on Aug. 6, 1971, held at the quarter-mile oval in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Allison beat Petty to the checkered flag by a three-second margin.

I've been a Bobby Allison fan since I started following NASCAR in the early '70s. I never thought this day would come. I'm so happy for him, especially given all that has happened to him over the years.

Random Daytona thoughts - 

The 3 should have been retired a long time ago

Glad I missed all the nonsense that came before the flag dropped

Jimmie Johnson driving a Toyota hurts my very soul

FOX Sports has a quadzillion dollars and can’t figure out how to work their microphones

Looking at the list of Chevy drivers and I can’t find anyone to back

Unclear how they thought moving the start to 1:30 was going to avoid the rain

That wheelie crash was crazy, especially the in-car cam from the drivers view where you could see the track getting further away.

Also crazy is that kid winning by skating through a crash.  But whatever, a Chevy won woohoo, even if I give a side-eye to a 24 with that paint scheme.  And Jimmie finished third in his dastardly Toyota!  Not bad for an old guy.
