From the season finale at Holmstead-Miami Florida, to the beginning of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Season in February at Daytona Beach in Florida is the shortest off season in professional sports, but let me tell you, none of us can wait for DW (Darrell Waltrip) to say the second most famous words in racing...'Boogity, Boogity, Boogity...Lets Go Racin'

And those words will resound all over this Sunday when the Great American Race, 'The Daytona 500' starts another long season for NASCAR fans!

For the first time in the history of the grand old race, a woman, Danica Patrick, will sit on the Pole to start this years race! Off season rule changes, and new cars will make this first restrictor plate race fun to watch! The bond between country music and NASCAR fans will be evident when the Zac Brown Band will perform a pre-race concert at Daytona International Speedway! The race coverage will begin at 1:00 PM on FOX! Also, don't forget to get up to date everyday as John Williams bring us The Racing News weekdays at 7:10 AM on The Q-106.5 Morning Show with JR Mitchell!
