Enjoy the win and the pub Danica....Shirley Muldowney, Angelle Sampey, and many other NHRA racing women have been there and done that already.

Nice article.

Ashley Force beating her daddy is simply awesome as well.

That said, winning a 1/4 mile drag race doesn't quite compare to Danica's accomplishment.

Apples and Bowling Balls.

“That’s a man, baby!”

At least someone is adhering to the rules.

Was that supposed to be funny, Goobs?

Yes it was. Give me a few minutes. I'll have my troll swing by with a bwahaha and a RACK.

Actually it was fucking retarded....par for the course with you, however.

Wags, off this shit troll.

I don't consider Goobs to be a shit troll, and there's no such thing as bad traffic.

Deep down, Goobs is a motorhead. He's just too big a wuss to show it. C'mon Goob's... I know you gotta' be a closet Kenseth fan.

OUCH!! That's right up there with "You play ball like a girl!!"

I was a big fan of Earnhardt, Sr. Also liked Bobby Allison and Cale Yarbrough back in the day. I like to see the Wisconsin boys do well but I’m not a big Kenseth fan, and was never a big Kulwiki fan either. I like Tony Stewart and the Busch the Younger is a ridiculously good driver.

Wasn't it Yarborough and the Allison brothers who got in a fist fight on the apron after the last lap at Daytona?

Old Skool.

The most important race in NASCAR history. First flag-to-flag TV coverage of the 500. Here’s a write-up on the race:

This site has a couple of nice photos from the fight, as well a lot of other neat NASCAR shots:

Looked at the YouTube link, and of course once you start you can't stop and keep clicking on vid after vid.

So I pretty much relived every moment in 3's career... again. My favorite is after winning Daytona and every crew on pit road coming out to offer congrats. Still brings a lump to my throat.

Thanks for the links, Goobs.

Ditto....the highlights of 3s career still pump me up. He was THE MAN.

My Top 5 favorite race car drivers of all time, regardless of style of racing:

1a. Dale Earnhardt
1b. John Force
3. Greg Anderson
4. Ayrton Senna
5. Mark Martin

From the mid 80s to the mid 90s, I used to regularly set my alarm clock Sunday mornings to get up and watch Formula One. It was then dominated by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. I was watching the morning that Senna bought the farm at Imola. Much like Earnhardt’s crash at Daytona, I didn’t think it looked that bad at first. Senna was the last driver filled in Grand Prix racing, BTW.

Wikipedia has a lengthy piece on Senna’s death:
