I'm much more into the Izod Indy Car Series. A friend of mine has a cousin who was the crew chief for the #78 Simona DeSilvestro team, so I kind of got interested that way and usually root for her. You have to be sick in the head to run one of those cars though. lol

Felt bad for Truex, he should of won, but Rowdy's pit crew got him the win on pit road with 20 laps to go.
Lot's of drama for Chocolate Myer's to talk about on Sirius on Monday.

Just in case this ISN'T a rhetorical question:
National
Association of
Stock
Car
Auto
Racing
The largest spectator sport in the U.S. Forty three cars making 800 horsepower each on a circular track with speeds often at or near 200 MPH. Think of the chariot scene from Ben Hur, but running 400 or 500 miles rather then ten laps. Great fun. I'm a Mark Martin fan. He's younger than me but I like him; he's a good kid.

I can see why Nascar and boiling might go hand in hand, lol. Watching sap boil and seeing how fast you can get it to go and watching how fast cars can drive around in circles :). And then there's always the dangers of things getting out of control :o
