As they dollied down the lines of each team, most players had their hands at their sides or behind. The only one I noticed singing along was Strahan. Kinda sad really.

Anywise, like I said, I was never really much of a race fan in general... it was sheer happenstance that I came across the opening sequence of the 500.

BMW is even fielding a bike this year, ridden by former local-guy-AFM-racer, NorCal's Brian Parriott. The third corner (I think) is always nasty since it's on the opposite side of the first two warmed-up tires and it's cold. Lotta bikes go down there, and also after coming off the banking onto the infield and going the other way. Two-wheels good, four wheels bad! :-) The real Daytona race to watch is the 200, the Bike race on Saturday March 8.
