Without NASCAR there’d be nowhere to use RV roof decks.
And we wouldn’t know whether we should buy Huggies or Tide or Vagisil or whatever.
I used to love NASCAR, way back when it was reasonably close to what it’s very name says it is.
Drafting was invented when Junior Johnson’s ‘59 Chevy couldn’t keep up with the ‘60 Pontiacs and he figured out how to get behind one and use it for a windbreak. He was really driving a real ‘59 Chevy, racing against real Mercurys and Plymouths and such.
Now, the cars are literally identical and have absolutely nothing to do with stock cars other than what grill stickers they wear to “represent” a certain car. There’s so much money and corporate sponsorship that you can’t really even identify with it.
It’s boring... and I’m a huge gearhead.
I bet kids are gonna grow up thinking “stock” means full-race. If they haven’t already.
