Try as I might, I just cannot understand the NASCAR phenomenon.

I once found myself coaching a Jr. High track team for awhile.

My "coaching" consisted of saying "bear to the left and get back as fast as you can".

I just don't get it. A 200 MPH road trip to nowhere.

To nowhere? Those guys are doing 200mph to increased sales for automakers?

Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday. That’s all it’s ever been.

It may look like NASCAR drivers are just turning in left circles, but those cars are on the absolute edge of control and actually sliding around the track. Just controlling them is intense enough, having to navigate other cars while doing so is what makes nascar exciting to me. Open wheel bores me because they are such high down force vehicles that given high enough speed they can actually be driven upside down.
