Went to Daytona to watch the 500 but got there the wrong day and watched the Busch 300. Thank goodness we did: it was simply the most boring motor race I've ever seen, and the pre-race commentary was frankly laughable, eg,so and so uses such and such car polish so will be faster than the other cars.
It was difficult to tell what car marque each car purported to be from as they were so bedecked with decals and livery as to camouflage the shape(I was well aware that they were tube frame specials and had little if any relationship to road cars).
Went to Mooresville on business about 2003. Was impressed with the scale and organization of the place, but the actual engineering was as crude as anything seen in a racecar shop in England in the early 1950's.
