I'm a little tardy to this party, but.....



I grew up in a NASCAR household as the only football/baseball fan. Every Sunday I watched my dad "search for holes in his eyelids" while 36 guys on TV drive around in circles for hours.


I did grow to appreciate the sport after do many years of exposure to it.


I never was a Jeff Gordon fan. Actually, I couldn't stand the little guy, seemed a bit light in his loafers to be part of the weekly redneck round up. Strangely enough, upon hearing of his planned retirement, I am saddened riser what I view as the last of the great drivers of my generation.


The guys that are on the track these days are just a bunch of hot tempered kids playing with someone else's money.
