The dawn broke on a perfect day to race
Anticipation and excitement filled the place
The stands jammed with fans from near and far
The buzz was the long winter and dodges new car
Visions of Talladega burned into their brain
Today was gonna be a 3wide 36car train
Passing was plentiful this DAYTONA was among the best
No single driver or car could out run the rest
How great is this, they’ve run all day in a pack
Till less than 30 to go, 18 cars littered the track
All walked away, 30 minutes of clean up, we’re back to green
Watching the greatest Daytona we've ever seen
Swapping the lead, tradin paint all the way
If it goes like this to the end, what a great day
Now 1 to go Mikey leads, Jr’s drafting, #3 car covering the rear
Fighting off any who dare come near
Coming into turn 3 the wolves make a final run
BIG DADDY'S blocking like any dad would've done
A touch of fenders, THE MAN IN BLACK is in the wall
As his car settles in the grass, his boys take it all
Now when I’m old telling this tale on my front porch
This was DAYTONA 2001 we all watched the INTIMIDATOR pass the torch
