Hey, not much to say. Dale was my guy. Liked Tony Stewart, too. Really loved to watch a good NASCAR race back when Earnhardt was alive. I feel fortunate that I got to see Dale race at Talladega. Between his death and NASCAR'S car of tommorrow and allowing Toyota to invent a push rod V8 just for their money, I have lost interest. Shame too, I was a fan since my grandfather was building stock cars. The sport is just too gentrified now.. I might as well watch Fomula 1.

I think many guys "our age" feel the same. And it seems the more "they interfere" in an effort of equality. It just stifles the overall effect. And it is still true, no matter what venue you watch, speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go? The small guy is still always the small ( slow) guy. I will tune in to NASCAR just to catch the last 30 or so laps. Same with NHRA, I may watch - but I have no real involvement anymore. I much prefer to watch the sportsmen races, a lot more relate-able. Another thing that is still true, I just cannot enjoy the big 3 sports. Football / Baseball / Basketball. there's just to many self centered cry babies in there.
