I'm not a die hard fan, but I will check out a race when its on. I tend to get a kick out of those who talk down about NASCAR, it shows a lack of understanding on how hard it is.
You get these open wheel guys who think they can just storm in and win, they usually end up as field filler, on the hook, or Danica Patrick.
I wish they would take Smoke's muzzle off and let him really speak his mind, he's about as close as you will get to a throwback old school racer. Dude has won in open wheel, dirt track, and NASCAR.
