For Dad

I would like to start by saying that I have absolutely no interest in NASCAR or stock car racing in general for that matter. I get what it takes to be a driver, the endurance and athleticism it requires. I also get the excitement it has being at a race, as with any sporting event. What I don't get is how you can sit and watch 40 guys chase each other on T.V for 3 hours. It seems like a huge waste of time. Its not like there is a whole lot to miss. So and so leads, so and so crashed. Hey NASCAR guy...get a radio, you'll get more accomplished on sunday.

That being said My Dad and most of the rest of my family do not share my sentiment. They are hard core race junkies, so this section is for them and those like them. I will post a few Nascar related articles through out the week. I will also post other racing related news like NHRA(which I rather enjoy) standings and such. I may also throw in some MX or other racing.

So Dad this one's for you.
