Many of the best drivers have never won that race. Drivers like Rudy Wallace and Mark Martin, who have both retired, and Tony Stewart, who is injured and retiring at the end of the season, come to mind. The Daytona 500 has produced surprise winners such as Derrike Cope and Trevor Bayne. Each year we wait to see if there is going to be a surprise, or someone who is a repeat champion. NASCAR began its season last weekend with the Sprint Unlimited. It seems like a long time has passed since the previous race ended in Miami last November; yet the season is back. Some people are probably not interested in NASCAR, though a lot of people sched- ule their lives around the races. Some people just want to see the Daytona 500. Certainly many will watch the many hours of coverage leading up to the event called "The Great American Race." It's usually an exciting ending. It will be worth checking out.
