About last night
Diecast Dude apparently stayed up late to watch all of the Pepsi Parade, which ended shortly before sunrise. It apparently affected his mood, which is somewhere between surly and cranky.
The Scotsman liked winner Tony Stewart's post-race impersonation of Helio Castroneves. (Said Stewart: "I'm too damn fat to be climbing fences.")
Me? I dozed off right before the green flag (sue me -- it was late and I was tired) and woke up with 17 laps left. I didn't need to have seen the previous 150-some laps to know that Stewart pretty much was having his way with the rest of the field. I'm glad as heck to see someone who's not carrying the Roush or Hendrick flags is making his way to Victory Lane for a change.

You watch a delayed boring parade, you get surly and cranky... not to mention irritable.
But still lovable. :-)

The four wide pass for the lead was worth staying up for.

About all I saw of the race was that four-wide pass, which *was* pretty incredible.
The next plate race, at Talladega, should be a lot more interesting because it's during the Chase. I think the Daytona race suffered because too many drivers who were too aware of their Chase prospects were driving too much like their grandparents.
That and the fact no one could figure out how to pass Stewart.
