NASCAR! People who don't watch NASCAR really don't get it and probably never will. I enjoy watching NASCAR a lot. I am completely intrigued by the mechanics and aerodynamics of the sport. I am probably much more in tune with that aspect of the sport than 99% of the people in the stands. It amazes me that 43 cars can race for 4 hours, travel 500 miles, and have the 1st and 2nd place cars finish within 2/100 of a second of each other! Considering that they stopped for fuel at least three times and used up 10 or 12 sets of tires. Amazing! To think that you can put a couple of pieces of tape on the front of the car and actually increase the speed of the car.
What can I say? I'm a gear head at heart. I am not the beer drinking, raging fan that you picture. Actually I don't drink at all and never have. The only thing I do is smoke a little crack on the weekends. Just kidding about the crack!!! I like to tell people that because they don't even think that a "Dumb Ole Dirt Farmer" even knows what crack is. As a very young child I followed NASCAR and subscribed to NASCAR Magazine when I was very young. Then as I got older I really didn't lose interest, I just ran out of time, so there was a long period of time that I barely followed the sport, just catching a headline here and there. But a couple of years ago when the rest of the world discovered NASCAR Racing I started watching again. These days I have a little more time than I did previously, but not that much more. I actually tape the NASCAR race on Sunday and then it takes me most of the week to get it watch.
