I hate NASCAR.  Hate it.  I can see cars driving anywhere and at any time.  The last thing I want to do is watch 500 miles of it on a track that goes nowhere.  Yes, I have heard it all, "It's the environment and the people surrounding the race", and "THEY ARE JUST SO FAST, IT'S AWESOME".  I get it.  Not to knock these...drivers?  I certainly can't call them athletes, though what they do is very dangerous.  But I just feel that it takes no athletic skill to drive a car at high speeds.  Maybe I just haven't done it, but I feel that it has more to do with mental awareness and attentiveness.

On Sunday afternoon, I rediscovered my Southern roots.

OK, I lied.  I was born in Rhode Island and grew up in Massachusetts.  I fit in south of the Mason-Dixon line about as easily as Charlton Heston at a vegan convention.  But for one day, I was Southern.

Since Dale Earnhardt died racing at the Daytona 500 in 2001, the pressure cooker on Dale Earnhardt Jr went up by about a million times. This is a story about truly living in your father's shadow...
