ABSO-FRIGING- LUTLY!

Note:
I really do respect the drivers and the builders for what they do... but,

I have friends who are big NASCAR fans so I try to watch it... even been to a race in Fontana. It just comes off as a big burbling mass of look alike cars constantly changing position. And whoever happens to bubble up to the front of the pack on the last lap wins... hardly exciting to watch.

I have to disagree with Jeff (P-O-P) NASCAR may have started out in the south but now has become mainstream big time, when I went to the race most of the crowd was upper middle class families.

I can remember watching the old NASCAR with Richard Petty and the big old sedans. Now that was some exciting racing!
YMMV
