Today is the Daytona 500. Normally I'd be very excited about it. However, NASCAR seems to have lost its appeal for me. There are no true differences between cars anymore, the drivers whine about everything, and the commentators can't seem to string a grammatically correct sentence together. After a couple hours you begin to feel dumber for having watched it. This is no comment about the ability of the drivers, or their sponsors, but when you're appealing to the lowest common denominator, you begin to lose some of the other parts of the fan base. Give me back the days of Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough...that was racing.
