Harvick edges out Martin to win the Daytona 500


In a finish that would have been rejected by a Hollywood hack as too contrived, Mark Martin was nosed out by 0.02 seconds by Kevin Harvick to win the Daytona 500. It was Martin's 23rd attempt to win the NASCAR classic and his best chance since leaving Roush Racing last year after a twenty-year partnership.

My NASCAR fantasy team was cremated after Kurt Busch crashed into race leader Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin was forced off-track by Jimmie Johnson, and Kyle Busch wrecked on the final turn. Still, the new batch of TV commercials were pretty good.
