And the Winner Is...

Meows from Mudpie!

Well the Daytona 500 is over, and what a wild ride it was!

It started with a pawsome Presidential visit, then got delayed for 24 hours because of monsoon rains. Once racing finally got underway on Monday there were a bunch of scary wrecks that for once our guy Harvick managed to miss and wound up finishing 5th, and finally a horrifying crash that we feared Ryan Newman may not have survived. Mommy kept saying the whole atmosphere at the track looked just like when we lost Dale Earnhardt 19 years ago. Latest reports say Ryan has serious but non-life threatening injuries so we're praying for a positive outcome.


And now onto the winner of my Mudpie 500 Zoomies Event! The eventual winner of the race was Denny Hamlin, who no one chose. Second place was Ryan Blaney who also got no love. But third place, the #17 car driven by Chris Buescher was chosen by...

*drumroll please*


Concatulations to Miss Ellen and the lucky kitties of 15 and Meowing! Keep an eye on your inbox for a gift card from us.

Many thanks to everyone who participated with their predictions, and I'll be zooming along until next year's Mudpie 500!

Mudpie, I’m sure your zoomies are much safer than that race was. Congratulations to 15 and Meowing!

I saw that horrific crash on the news. I hope the driver will be OK.
I can't believe I guessed correctly, I just went with 17 because my hubby likes that number from the Star Trek ship :)

The injuries may not be life-threatening, but that man isn't going dancing anytime soon, that's for sure. Very scary stuff.
Concats to Ellen and the kitties!

Hooray for Mom Ellen, she deserves the win! We hope Ryan will be totally okay, that was quite the crash. Way back in the day the Dad got to drive Dale Earnhardt's car around the Daytona track prior to the big race.
