Okay, so there are all these cars going around and around in a circle for hours. Sometimes they run into each other. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they change their tires. Why is this so fascinating? As the girlfriend of a Dale, Jr. fan, I've been forced to endure many many hours of Nascar related television. Here is the best thing about Nascar - the commercials. The Nascar drivers have to be some of the most good-natured people in sports. These guys are not afraid to make fun of themselves. On the contrary, they seem to love it. The commercials with Michael Waltrip especially are great! The only other professional sportsman who even comes close to him is Peyton Manning (I ADORE his commercials.) Another thing I've noticed about the Nascar drivers - they really appreciate their sponsors. Again, Michael Waltrip is a great example. Every single time this man is on tv, he makes a point to mention at least 10 of his sponsors. They really get their money's worth out of him.
But I digress. My point is that Nascar is inscrutable to me. And don't say, "You've got to go to a race to understand." I've been to a race. It was boring. And LOUD. And smelly. And did I mention LOUD? And about an hour before the race ended I got a piece of debris (tire?) stuck in my eye and spent the rest of the day with a permanent wink/scowl on my face. So from now on I will stay away from the racetrack, thank you very much. I'll probably still watch the races with my boyfriend, but I will be reading or folding laundry or something while the actual race is on. But I will DEFINITELY watch the commercials.
