Fuck NASCAR. Fuck them for the opportunities they squandered, the classic tracks they left and the aero-dependent monstrosities that they turned the cars into.

I'm definitely looking forward to it! It's a very different schedule from the first year I really started watching all things NASCAR coverage in 1996... http://www.theautochannel.com/news/events/daytona/news3502.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; 3 days of ARCA practice and quals, ...
