So let's see.... beating College games, the PGA and the NBA. But oh, NASCAR will always take a back seat to them, ok. That's just Vegas, a boring track in my opinion. Wait til we get to Bristol next week.
First I have been a NASCAR Fan for 30+ years. They are loosing me fast. Thank GOD for Carl Edwards to pull out this weekend. Rules on top of rules. No speedometer but radar to track the speed. Who say's the radar is right. The big effort to make the PC people like NASCAR. Screw them The best drivers have to be out there not the best Woman or Afro American or what ever. Heavy handed NASCAR will be the end of the sport. Lets let them race and get rid of DW saying how great NASCAR is and they never do no wrong and the rest of his buddy's in the booth. Well thanks I feel better. OH yes please don't label me as some southern Redneck have not seen many up here in Boston!
