r/NASCAR Reddit.com User /u/ZappaOMatic – 2012 Daytona 500

Has to be the 2012 race. It was the first NASCAR race I watched in its entirety and was definitely a chaotic one with the rainout leading to a Monday night start, followed by the crash shortly after lap two involving Johnson, Ragan and Kurt Busch. And of course, Montoya’s jet dryer incident. I was really rooting for Dave Blaney to win. I remember sitting in my chair, tracking the red flag after my mom took over the TV because of the lack of racing.

Nothing against Kenseth, but I had been hoping the race would end with Blaney winning.

Next: Jonathan Pilat
