What Do People See in NASCAR, Anyway?

Damn! I spelled "their" wrong!! Thanks for bolding that Grizza.

I was building to a crescendo and I f***ing spelled "their" wrong.

I usually don't pick on spelling errors, that one is a bad one though, usually only with WR. He sucks at spelling. And he is a kicker.

As the RVs motor into Dover, and the good people of Slower Delaware head for the hills, I renew my annual question: what is it about NASCAR? Fast cars chasing each other around a track is like watching paint peel. Is it the morbid expectation of a pileup? Is it the lure of broads and beer? Is it the mass redneck social magnet? I just don't get it. Your thoughts?

I watched it when it was on Wide World of Sports, Agony of something because we had 1 American Channel, 4 Canadian Channels and 1 was French. Life in Cold Dakota circa 1969.

Send her to Europe (again), put her in F1 (any team) and she finishes in the bottom 3rd every race. She's not fit to lick Michael Shumacher's left nut.

But boy would I like to kiss her on the mouth!

Before or after she licks Schumacher's left nut?

Preferably before, but I'll bring some Listerine along just in case.

I'd like to go to a race just for the experience, but I won't watch NASCAR on TV. Live dirt track racing is kind of fun though.

Agreed. I enjoy the regular schedule at the two local dirt tracks here and the occasional visit from the World of Outlaws or URC sprints. Driving a sprint takes serious balls. Those things are scary fast on a 1/2 mile track. I make it a point to sit a long way from the fence at those races.
