My dad phoned me about watching the NASCAR in the 70's special. He got all nostalgic upon seeing Bobby Isaac said that was his "Favorite driver" growing up,. Told me about how he missed the 70's era of the sport, and even painted his slot cars/hot wheels like the Petty Superbird apparently as a hobby. I do think this is funny because it counters the narrative NASCAR has that the people outside the south only cared about NASCAR after 1979, etc FuzzySkinner fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Jun 30, 2017 |

It just feels like NASCAR has always been a thing "nationally" if one has some sort of interest in cars. I imagine if you were the sort of person that read stuff like "car and driver", enjoyed slot cars, models, diecasts...whatever. The odds are good that your attention would probably watch stock cars on ABC's "Wide World of Sports" or hit the local short track to see modifieds, etc. I think perhaps the "treating a driver like he was a n NFL franchise" sort of thing came with a wave of fans from the 'burbs in the 90's perhaps? Maybe that's what NASCAR goes  over.

This isn't the first time NASCAR has had an "outsider" involved in broadcasting. (Sir Jackie, Hobbo. Even though both have been involved in both auto racing and american auto racing)

I'm cool with him, it just seemed random. Also, I am attending exciting NASCAR Xfinity Series racing tonight, let's go a Spencer Gallagher. My friend flew Allegiant down to get here, so you owe me that much.  E- Steady, moderate rain, yet we stay green.

Rutlege Wood was making fun of (I believe) David Pearson last night for having a smoke after a race. He did it in the most cringeworthy way..I'm just posting to say, gently caress Rutlege Wood.

NXS is tomorrow at Noon on CNBC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJaD9voCzE They could've tried to dry it tonight because it's not raining here now. I'd have rather done that than sit in the sauna tomorrow.

No. William Byron was just screaming about Logano and Dillon locking bumpers for an entire lap. E- There's no pit box 13 here. 12-12A-14. Are people still scared of the #13? CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 1, 2017 |
