Micheal McDowell starts 39th out of 40 cars at THE DAYTONA 500 today.... which isn't a big deal... until you consider THIS crash he was in, back in 2008.  Just one of so many stories that make up an event like The Daytona 500... an event I have watched since I was about 10 years old.  So... we are off to the races... for the 2016 season!  And... best of luck to Micheal McDowell !!!  - SteveCorneliussen.com
