DAYTONA BEACH FL (2-9-10) - The 47th annual Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona Int'l Speedway has come and gone. There were so many stories surrounding this year's race - from ARCA's amazing ratings boost (AKA Danica Mania) to Nelson Piquet's precarious debut. From Gerhart's record sixth triumph to Mark Thompson's comeback runner-up run. Not left off the storyline list was the eventful run from 15-time AMA Motocross champ Ricky Carmichael, who battled and bounced off Danica in the closing laps to finish seventh.

Ricky, how are you feeling the morning after your race last night?
