The Super Bowl is Sunday. For most, it signifies the glorious end to another football season and the dawn of a long summer without America's new favorite sport.
For me, it means it's almost time. It is finally February.
Every other sport has its biggest event at the end of the season. Fittingly, NASCAR has to do things a bit differently.
The last weekend of February marks the biggest racing event of the year. The Daytona 500. Nothing else on earth is like it.
40 V8 engines all firing for the first time since the beginning of a long winter. My heart is already racing in anticipation. The fanfare, the atmosphere, the name, the greats, the history, and the race.
If you have never watched a race, let alone been to one, watch this one. Get into it. Pick a car and root for it. Feel the excitement of a 5 p.m. traffic jam at 205 mph.
We are only four Sundays away. Get ready. Daytona is coming.
