DAYTONA BEACH, FL—Construction crews working to patch the rippled and broken asphalt of Daytona International Speedway reduced traffic to a single lane during last Sunday’s Daytona 500, resulting in average speeds of 35 miles per hour. “It’s bad enough that they can’t get this fixed during the week,” said race winner Jamie McMurray, who finished in just over 15 hours. “And NASCAR doubles the fines for speeding in work zones, so there was nothing we could do.” Disagreeing with McMurray was Emilio Ramirez, operator of the No. 0563 Rolaids/Chick-fil-A Caterpillar road grader, who earned time-and-a-half for the race and called the event a “rousing success.” – TheOnion.com
