For those of you that have digital cable and access to the NASCAR in-car pay-per-view, they are having a free all access pass this sunday for the Daytona 500. Gives you access to 7 different cars simultaneously...looks to be very cool...

That's pretty slick...I wonder if Directv will offer it? Off to DTV's site to find out.

No digital cable here

Adelphia offers it. I just see no need to pay the extra $10 or whatever a month for it. Only 2 channels I'd watch in the package. Discover Wings, and ESPN News

Dude if you go to the BY400 Race let me know. I'd love to catch that race. My uncle goes to the 500 and 400. I've never been to a race.

Only reason I watch baseball is if I'm playing fantasy. Which I haven't done for the last 2 years. SG fantasy baseball league?

I play softball, so that keeps me interested in baseball more..But I've been a big Cubs fan since I could remember. My grandma got me hooked since I was a little sh*thead, hehe

SG fantasy baseball? Im up for one!!!

I've been toying with the idea of going to the 500 again this year...I definitely plan on going to the brickyard...and the US Grand Prix is in June this year, instead of September...I've never been to an F1 race, so that'd be pretty cool to go to as well..

If you guys want to get together for the race, let me know...my mom lives less than 3 miles from the track

My wife and I usually go to brickyard 400 for last few years anyway. We usually get tickets from her work or from her old boss who we are still friends with. We usually sit in Penthouse paddock overlooking start/finish line.

I'd be up for a SG breakfast/tailgate meeting before the race, I wouldn't mind sitting with everyone but we don't pay for our seats and therefore don't really have control over where they are.

Before they reconfigured the track for the F1 Grand Prix race a few years back, they had a nine-hole golf course in the infield...
