Default Better to watch from home

Sorry, I had to chuckle because you can't make this stuff up. A friend of ours went to the Daytona as well. He goes every year. He had to change his plane ticket, which he was charged 500.00 more to do so, so there's 500.00 more dollars he had to spend, plus extra food and hotel. He told of his experience much as you did except he wasn't on a bus. I caught a bit of it on tv where they were cleaning up the firey crash. Of course they could have run Sunday night but the Oscars were on and they didn't want to compete with that. Sorry for your troubles but lesson learned. I try to avoid anything with crowds that massive. Sounded like a real cluster.
