Re: [ST] Daytona 200



I would have to agree with you.  And then they go to the "2 Wheel Tuesday"
shop and they have Ben Bostrom there.  And they are asking him what position
he is in at that point in the race and they have no clue.

I really like the Yamaha commercial with the guy hitting the golf ball and
then the one decorating the back yard.  Those were my 2 favorites.
