Just A Bunch of Crackers Turning Left....

The NASCAR phenomenon continues:

They ran the Daytona 500 last Sunday afternoon and the New York Times even covered it. It was not so long ago that the Times would have considered stock-car racing unworthy of its attention; but there is no denying NASCAR these days. The Daytona race — broadcast on Fox — pulled higher ratings than the NBA all-star game. What was once the pastime of moonshine-running rednecks has gone mainstream. NASCAR is even listed on the New York Stock exchange.

As they say in the south, "Son, we ain't trash no more."

I've known some rabid NASCAR fans---this sport is still on the rise.

Something the NBA, MLB, and the NHL might well keep in mind as they watch their audiences erode.
