Yes, ladies and gentlemen, one of the other "first signs of spring" is upon us, as the 2011 Sprint Cup season will kick off tomorrow afternoon with the running of the Super Bowl of racing, the Daytona 500. Our friends at the mothership have been tracking the proceedings of the entire race so far, from qualifying until today, and have been doing an outstanding job of it. If you want lots of good details about this year's race, be sure to check out our friends from The Sports Network.

NASCAR is primarily considered to be a southern sport, but we here at SB Nation Minnesota know that it has plenty of fans everywhere, so we're going to give everyone a place to find out more about the race here on our site. I'll also effort to put some updates of in-race action up here on the site during tomorrow's festivities.
