Last year, on Tuesday after he won, Ward Burton came into the place that my daughter works (Natural Gear). When the owner brought him around to introduce him to my daughter, she looked at him and said, "Oh, hey". That was it.

Later, she told my son-in-law that "some guy named Ward Burton had come in to the place". Then, she asked him, "Who is Ward Burton?". Son-in-law came unglued! "Ward Burton!! Ward Burton??!! He just won the Daytona 500 on Sunday! Did you get his autograph?" You know that answer, already.

Same daughter didn't believe George Straitt was on the other end of her telephone until his manager let him sing to her to prove he was who he said he was. This was after he told her he was George Straitt, and she said, "Now, what the hell makes you think I'm gonna believe you?" Let's just say that just because you are a celebrity, you ain't gonna make any points with her by just using your name. She isn't liable to believe you.

As to who wins today.....let's just say that the weather is gonna play a big part and wait to see if they finish it, or not before they call it.
