I remember watching at home on TV and commenting that those were prime seats to be empty.
Our first time at Daytona in 1993 we watched the Twin 125's from one of the towers in turn 4 and they are excellent seats.

Correct, those high up turn one seats were under construction as was the whole facility was getting a major updating. By next year the whole facility is going to be revamped.
It appears the grandstands are going to be much taller than most of the old facility giving a bunch more visibility to those seated there. My major gripe is your too damn close to the person sitting next to you. Think about how spacious your average tourist class seat is on a plane these days, that about sums it up. I'm fairly broad shouldered and it wasn't very comfortable for me when everyone was seated. The actual seats are the seat and back from a steel folding chair welded to the grandstands.
Most of the race the touring princess lived up to her name hanging out most of the time in the back of the pack, no aggressive driving and that's how she finishes races if she doesn't crash. It was a very solid 28th place attempt most of the race. Attrition was the only way she improves position. Hopefully this will be her last season in Cup. She truly is outclassed by most any other driver on the track.
Bobby LaBonte in her car would be a great match up, the #32 car he was driving was severely under powered and obviously a low dollar effort. She needs to be out of a good car, and drive a low dollar effort car because it fits her driving style perfectly. No need for top equipment for a third rate driver.
If she had to drive a low buck car she might actually find out how good she has it where she is presently. Put forth a real effort to actually try to get a top 5 finish.
Naw, what was I thinking, that won't ever happen................
