I gotta say it .. I know I shouldn't ... but like it or not, there are a boatload of F1, IndyCar, etc. drivers who want a NASCAR Cup ride ... and of those who have gained a Cup ride, none have outperformed even the young Cup drivers. Call it the World of Left Turners if you'd like, but ....

I heard that shopping cart racing is on TV today ... gotta go and find it!

There are some but I don't see a "boatload" of them. When you see a lot of them, let me know so I can sell my TV to avoid seeing it.

Well, not a boatload, but at least a washtub's worth!

NASCAR proves today, yet again, why they have nothing on anyone else. Yes, it takes ***** of steel to race in the rain. And they did it. But first of all, they said a 3 minute stop for tires, install wipers and brake lights. Well, 3 turned into 5. Then into 15. And when they finally restarted it must have been damn near 40 minutes later. What is the point in "racing in the rain" if you're gonna take half an hour and try and dry the track? Are we drag racing now? Then have about 5 recon laps behind the safety (sorry, pace) car. Then the real BS is revealed. The teams have no control over when dry and rain tires and switched. What the f%#& kind of stupid *** idea is that? At this point, I gave up and switched the channel.
