I'm Fixing A Hole

Ex-AKGov. Palin goes to Daytona. Go here for the links; we've stolen the best stuff already, like this image, titled by the "Bree Palin" website "Do they have a wax museum in Daytona Beach?"
& these words, from the Orlando Sentinel:
Q: How do you feel about being here?

A: This is awesome. It’s an All-Americana event. A good, patriotic, wonderful event that’s bringing a whole lot of people together. I think it’s good for our country.

Q: This is a good base for you, being in Florida, a swing state, right?

A: Haven’t thought a darn thing about the politics of this. I’m thinking about this good, active, speed-loving event that a lot of Alaskans, too, are really into. We’ve got our snow-machine races up there, and this is of course on a much greater scale same type of sport though same type of breath taking speed loving All-American event that we like to see up north.
In the slightly more real world:
Perfectly normal for crashes to slow down the competition at the Daytona 500, but the race has been halted and drivers taken off the track for a second time today for an entirely different problem.

A pothole in the pavement has stopped NASCAR's signature event again with 39 laps remaining.

NASCAR's season opener was initially stopped with 78 laps remaining so crew members could patch up the pothole. After a 1 hour 40 minute delay for the initial repair, racing continued until there were 39 laps remaining before the red flag came out again.
Such a "patriotic" event.
