Just like the title says, I'm not much of a "Nascar" follower. But having our very own Ricky Carmichael in the rankings to someday make it to the big show, has given me some interests in a sport that I wouldn't normally follow. Today, RC will race in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200, in Daytona, Fl. Speed TV will air the race LIVE @ 1:00pm PST. I was checking out the qualifiying stats and saw RC qualified 23rd with a top speed of 178.841 and a lap time of 50.324. Looking at the top qualifier he's only 9/10th's of a second off the leader. WOW, that's nothing in supercross, but in car racing I guess it means 23 spots off the leader or about 4mph slower. Crazy!
I'm looking forward to watching his big televised debut in 4-wheels this afternoon. I hope he does well and drives the wheels off that car, just like his Dirt Scooter days.
I'm guessing that this is his Monster Energy Chevrolet race car. GO RC!
