Why it’s a beautiful day at Daytona 500

The Daytona 500 is the Great American Race and it attracts great American women.

I have gone to Instagram to show you some of the beautiful women who are there Sunday or beautiful women who may be watching the race on TV.

Model, actress and blogger Jordan Fish is Denny Hamlin’s longtime girlfriend. Hamlin won the 500, surging from fourth place on the final lap to beat Martin Truex Jr. in one of the most thrilling finishes I have ever seen.

I put myself together today ??

Danielle Trotta caught my eye while she presented a story in her role with the Fox broadcast team covering the race. Danielle is better looking than either of the Waltrip Brothers.

Happy Daytona Day!! #Raceday @fs1 10amET

FNN reporter Jenny Rosario with wrestler John Cena.

Danica Patrick is one of the drivers in the race. I hoped she would last longer than one of my dates. My dates are usually over after just 30 minutes. Danica lasted longer but finished 35th because of this.

A decade of danica and @tissot_official ads is fun to look back on!

There is more than one Miss Sprint Cup. Julianna White is also a Miss Sprint Cup. She is a Jersey girl living in Charlotte. Julianna was Miss New Jersey USA in 2011.

My pick to win the #SprintUnlimited is our reigning @NASCAR #Sprint Cup Series Champion @rowdybusch! -JW

Miss Sprint Cup Julianna White away from the speedway. I would like to be Julianna’s Mr. Sprint. I think photographer Christopher String shot most of these pictures. Christopher is a lucky man.

Tia McDonald, Miss Florida at Miss US in 2014, posted this photo from the speedway on Saturday and said she was back at it with Monster Energy. I wonder if she is there Sunday. I will keep you posted.

Back at it with @monsterenergy ?

Here are more photos of Tia and they have nothing to do with Daytona. The photos do give “my monster” a lot of energy.

So excited to get out of cold to work in Jamaica!? #cruisin #shootin #norwegian

Racing fan Tay Ferreira is also from Florida.

I think Karen Montejo is a Joey Logano fan. Logano finished sixth.

I think Mckenna Bleu is a Carl Edwards fan. Edwards finished fifth.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Hannah Ferguson and Erin Heatherton took part in the “Jeff Gordon Daytona 500 Kickoff Celebration” on Fox and Saturday night.

Gordon, a four-time Sprint Cup champion and three-time Daytona 500 winner, made his debut as a Fox race analyst Sunday at what turned out to be an epic 2016 NASCAR season opener.

I would prefer to analyze Hannah and Erin.

Thank you everyone for my #happy #birthday #wishes and #love ❤️?❤️? Sneak peak @toripraverswimwear 2016
