It's Daytona and, yes, it IS a big deal
EDITOR'S NOTE: New ThatsRacin.com blogger Dennis Terry of Dale Earnhardt Inc. reports in. Terry, a former teammate of Over the Wall's Trent Cherry, will be a regular contributor in this space. So look for him this season.

Ask around the garage and one of the most exciting events that crew members experience is our fist trip to Daytona. Driving down into the tunnel and emerging out the other side into the world center of racing not only marks the beginning of a new season but serves as a reminder of the racing history that Daytona has been a part of.
For me this trip marked the beginning of a new season with my new team. A lot of new faces and names, but the same race day excitement along with the hassles of getting fitted into new uniforms, working out the bugs of our radios and figuring out the new pit boxes which get more complex by the year. All of the little things that will become routine for the rest of the season.
We finished 10th in the Gatorade Duel and will start in 19th on Sunday. Not bad at all for a new team in the Daytona 500.

DEI looked good. And yes, even for the fans, Daytona is an impressive sight. You just remember you have work to do and don't be looking at the girls!

Daytona is a big deal and a place that I'd love to go to someday. It would be a far cry better than here in Ohio where mother-nature can't figure out what season it's going to be...lol.
I hope your transition to the new team is going well and you have a good race on Sunday. Congrats on the good finish in the 150's too! Have a great weekend!

Trent I hope you are well enough for the plane ride but guys are the biggest babies. Quit whining and focus on getting better. I feel sorry for the people on the plane that have to share that bathroom!
Go Jr.!!!

Dennis, I didn't post it earlier, but WELCOME. Sad that you've left the 12 team, but Truex is good...that from a fellow Jersey-an!!!!
