The week that was @ The Marbles

Did you miss a story or two from the first week of the season here at The Marbles? No sweat, we've got you covered. Here's what graced our (web)pages this week:

• Wait, a 20-year-old kid won Daytona? And he got to pose with a Pam Anderson impersonator? What a lucky lad!

• Dale Earnhardt Jr. was running fairly well, but alas, his Daytona day ended five laps too soon.

• The Daytona 500 was not a good day for some of racing's most famous names.

• Come this summer, NASCAR is going to save the world in Transformers 3.

• Michael Waltrip got things going early in Daytona with a wreck that took out a third of the field. Awesome.

• Oh, and Mkey got dinged for that mysterious missing spoiler in the truck race, too. Whoops.

• Carl Edwards went and threw himself off a building. Lunatic.

• Anybody who shows up in Vegas and wins the IndyCar finale gets a cool $5 million. I'm in.

• Politics intrudes on racing, as Bahrain protests cancel the F1 season opener there.
