NASCAR! Leave the Boys Alone!
Okay, now you done pissed off all us Southerners who were looking forward to the Talladega race this weekend. Dale. Jr. has lots of fans around here, and there will be many unhappy people at that racetrack on Sunday. I sure wouldn’t want to be a Nascar official on that weekend! (Maybe they should attend the race in disguise!)
When I started watching Nascar twenty years ago, I was a Dale Earnhart, Sr. fan; therefore I moved my alliegence over to Junior when his daddy died. Twenty years ago, racing was really fun to watch, but like everything else, they’ve ruined it with all the rules and regulations. There was nothing as thrilling as seeing Dale Sr. do his little “tap” on the rearend of somebody’s car, sending them up the track enough that he could pass and take the lead. But, of course, somebody had to whine and now it’s no longer as interesting.
Well, I’m sure not going to be watching any racing this weekend. (I hope it rains on the next six racedays!) Remember folks, the racing started down here in the South with all the moonshine runners. Go pick on some golfers or football players and leave the Nascar drivers alone!
