I’ve bashed NASCAR enough, I figure. They must be doing something right. It is admittedly the most popular motorsport in America today.
Still, in the midst of their effort to stay on the air while it rained on Daytona, postponing the 500 for hours, I was happy to watch supercross on NBC while Fox showed last year’s race.
But I swear, every time I switched over to Fox to see if the rain had let up, it was another feature, another ad, another segment telling us all how great NASCAR is, how it’s one step below the church and how it’s as patriotic as the Lincoln Memorial.
Enough. Frankly, this is the sort of stuff that gets beyond tiresome. And I would have been watching supercross even if it had been sunny and hot in central Florida.
