Reply #27: NASCAR is for the mechanic in the family

God obviously has put His blessing on NASCAR because He designed "racecar" to spell the same backwards and forwards. Just like "Madam, I'm Adam".

If you like to take apart and rebuild V8 motors, you're probably be a fan of NASCAR. If you like to take a $20 dollar bill and put a bic lighter to it to watch it burn, then you've met one of the minimum qualifications for becoming a stock-car race driver.

I'm a 4-cylinder kind of guy, haven't ever figured out how impoverished Southern rednecks can afford to drive gas-guzzling V8s, let alone race them at 10k RPMs around the track with race-fuel that costs approx. $10/gallon. You will spend $200 and burn up a motor for a one-time thrill on Sat. night. And this is amatuer-level racing. It isn't real NASCAR stuff which is major bucks to invest in the car.

I can barely afford to drive my 4-banger to work and back. At posted speed limits. Prayers can not hurt for the traffic, I encourage you to pray before driving on interstate highways every day. Praying before a NASCAR event is not a bad idea, people have been known to crash and burn on the track.
