  Yeah, I know this is in the wrong thread and that this is a old joke but what the hell: "If you want to watch a Nascar Race just throw a handful of Skittles in the toilet and flush it".                               Bob

NASCAR's been tanking for me for years.

They want me back as a customer?  Put 'em on a 1/2 mile dirt track, make the cars look like something I could go out and buy, and put a cap on sponsorship dollars.

Oh, and keep the knuckleheads behind the steering wheel and away from the cameras.

away from the cameras! LMAO

short story...had a un named top fuel Harley rider, that was a media hog / motor mouth. when we had him as our pilot the only rule was, he was only allowed to talk [to anyone] when the bike was running and the throttle wide open!

The truck race on the dirt at Eldora was a race!

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

If you think that you're obviously one of those that watched the replay of last year during this year's rain delay.  :evil: :-D :-D

Could have been written tongue-in-cheek. Trent is too smart to fall for the Fox Sports scam.
