Plenty of NASCAR drivers and other industry executives started dancing on stage during the NASCAR Awards in Nashville. Flo Rida invited them up on stage, and the dance part began.
A tweet I never thought I’d make. @official_flo has invited a lot of men from the NASCAR world up on stage to dance.

Top Daily Downforce Tweets
Fans debated on The Daily Downforce’s Twitter account whether or not Danica Patrick belongs in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. While her stats will not get her in, will her historic impact on the sport get her into the race?

We also asked fans what race every NASCAR fan needs to see before they die. Would it be one of NASCAR’s “Crown Jewels” or another race that you find fun?
