Show and the race

This past weekend the Detroit
Autorama was held and many of
awaited word on the Ridler Award
winner.

The Ridler Award is a coveted
‘Best of Show’ award for cars
making the debut on the show
circuit at the Autorama.

Eight cars were in running this year, but of course
only one can win.

That car this year was a custom
1955 Thunderbird.

The other car news of the weekend
was the Daytona 500 which was delayed
because of rain.

The first Daytona 500 was held on
February 22, 1959, and this was the
first rain delay in the events
history.

The race which ended early this
morning is sure to be remembered
for years to come. We are still
watching the video of Juan Pablo
Montoya skidding into the jet dryer
and igniting 200 gallons of jet
fuel.

When all was said and done, Matt
Kenseth won the race. And that is
a couple of events for gearheads
that are now in the history books.
Comments are always welcome.
