NASCAR: Daytona Q–Day

NASCAR starts today. Daytona being the first stop. Daytona begins qualifying today for the 50th running of the Daytona 500. Today they are having something called a shoot-out.

They have not even started the race and the kids are already fighting. Busch and Stewart got into on Friday night, no doubt they wanted to make good on the promise of the NASCAR chairman for more emotion.

Open-wheel racing is having issues, and a merger may be too little and too late. Even the Canadians are doing NASCAR. Jacques Villeneuve is moving to NASCAR and taking a big risk. Yea, of getting beat up over his name.

Toyotas are kicking ass again this year, and some want rule changes. I say, make a better car. What bunch of cry babies. This is NASCAR for cripes sake. However it is a bit sickening to have your awards banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC. WTF? Why not the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia? Not good enough for you?

Oh yea, NASCAR has a “king”; great.

The one good thing going is the punch count in the Busch Stew art frackus. These two spent much of last season on probation. Hopefully they won’t start whining about ’sucker punches’.

Maybe some day NASCAR will get away from this idiotic system they have and go back to the old NASCAR which is better. This is what happens when you let metrosexual ad execs makes decisions about a man’s sport. Think about it, if a mama’s boy like Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson can win the Cup; is it really a sport?
