Susie: Welcome everyone to Advanced Sports Today! I'm Susie Speed, and we're coming to you live from Daytona International Raceway. Today is NASCAR's big race, the Daytona 500, and I'm talking to rookie sensation, Barbecue Bill Archer.
Bill: Well, hello there little lady, glad you could tag along with us today.
Susie: Bill, all the buzz is how fast you've been driving here this week!
Bill: Oh yeah, I've had a real lead-foot this week, driving the Sienicki Polish Sausage sponsored car #99.
Susie: You've had some heady speeds during qualifying, up over 200 miles per hour.What's the key to your success?
Bill: A good start, Susie! That's how you win races, and that's how we start our day! I just had a big breakfast with some of our car #99 sponsor's Sienicki Polish Sausage. Now I'm full of gas, and ready to go!
Susie: Full of gas, eh? Well, save it for the race, Barbecue Bill. Now, you come from a fine pedigree of race car drivers. Your family has a strong history here at Daytona, and now you're the up and coming star.
Bill: Well, my daddy, Dollar Bill Archer was able to win the Daytona 500 eleven times, so I'm gonna do my best today to take the checkered flag, and make my daddy proud!
Susie: You certainly are a chip off the old block, with your racing skills. You even drive the same car that your father did. Is the car ready for today?
Bill: You bet, Susie. The Sienicki Polish Sausage sponsored car #99 is so fast, well, I'll tell ya, it's a given that I'm gonna win today. No doubt!
Susie: Well you sure are confident Barbecue Bill. Good luck!
Bill: Thanks Susie! Gotta go!
Susie: We'll see you after the race! Live from Daytona, this is Susie Speed
