I also like NASCAR, even though I'm a "liberal" who lives in NYC.
I used to watch NASCAR when Richard Petty was its star. I watched the Indy 500 every year, too. I watched it very often on "Wide World of Sports" in the 60s and 70s. I also like drag racing.
Did you get to see the 1979 Daytona 500 during the Presidents Day blizzard?
Petty won, Yarborough got into a scrap with both Allison brothers and NASCAR began it's slow march towards that period of absolute ubiquity we remember from the early 00s.
