A lot of my friends are discovering NASCAR and becoming race fans. In fact, the most influential athlete in America was announced the other day – and it turns out to be a NASCAR driver. Wow – when I was a kid no one I knew ever watched NASCAR races – ow it seems that everyone is watching.
My idea of racing is drag racing – not going around and around in circles for 4 hours. I like a good drag race – it’s fast and dangerous and exciting to watch dozens of pairs of racers each hour take off and have a winner within a minute or two. Race a half mile and hit 100 mph? Now, that’s racing.
