There's no doubt about it. NASCAR is one of America's most popular sports. Millions pack into racetracks across the country. The industry itself generates billions.
But I'm sorry. I just don't get it. I don't see the excitement of watching a car go round-and-round the track. I'd rather do something else with my Saturday afternoon.
That's a GREAT analogy (though it may not work for a Nascar fan)! I have absolutely no interest in American Idol, but some people obviously love it. I love motorcycles, but most peoples eyes glaze over when I start talking about the Aprilia Tuono.
I have an interesting perspective, because I hated Disney World when I went there in 1973 and I hated Disneyland when I went there in 1975. When I went back around 1996 it was driving me crazy. Everything was Disney. By the end of my trip, I couldn't wait to see anything non-disney and use a toilet that didn't flush itself.
. . . but when I got back to the real world, something clicked and I began to miss the idea that people could be nicer and things could be cleaner and better. It was like a switch flipped and I went from hating it to loving it. Maybe if I had been a little older or a little younger when I went back, maybe if my son had been a little older or a little younger, maybe if I didn't have a son or didn't have a wife, the switch wouldn't have flipped and I'd still be one of them.:lookaroun
