They seem like such snotty Starbucks drinkin New York/Hollywood types to me. I'm not even from the south but I pretty much love all the so called "redneck stuff".
At least they are not stuck up.
Also, I love Nascar for its tight racing and usually exciting finishes. Of course there are a few bummer races, but you have that with all racing. Personally, I don't really like the high tech indy car stuff, but I mean, these things are supposed to be close (even though they are not) to your average car. Indy cars are supposed to be the top of the line speed machines that push the envelope of technology. Nascar would suffer if it tried to go that route cause part of what makes it so cool is to watch em rub and bang and keep racin.
I pretty much like anything with an engine in it that goes fast, so I love sprint cars, stock cars, indy cars, dragsters, etc... give me one, i'll drive it!
