Bubbie’s sink into his lazy boy and reaches down with his right hand and fumbles for the shifting lever. Feeling the familiar wooden handle he rears back, gives ‘er a rip and launches himself into race watchin’ position. It’s the Busch race at Daytona; the first of the season and the day before the big one. From Bubbie’s view he’s noticed a few poignant observations that maybe y’all can help clarify.
Mark Martin: didn’t he retire? I thought he had his final farewell tour?
Dale Earnhardt Jr: Why is he the most popular driver when he drives around in the middle of the pack in 18th to 21st place?
I heard them announcers talkin’ about Fords, Chevys, Dodges, and even Toyotas, but I didn’t see a one; I saw about 40 NASCARs. Aside from different paint schemes, they’re all the same car. Hell, they could be showin' us a replay of a race from 3 or 4 years ago and we might now even notice.
Hey, you know what would be cool? If we did get some of those manufactures vehicles and let some good mechanics fine tune them and then race them around those NASCAR tracks. We could call it Stockcar Racin’ and them blue-collar guys that had the mechanically best car and a great driver that day could race hard, compete and win some fans. Now that would be some kinda fun!
