NASCAR used to make sense; the Busch Series and the Winston Cup. Beer and cigarettes. NASCAR. There was a fluidity to it. It used to make sense. You watched/read/talked about a Busch race and what did you see? Guys in cutoff jean shorts and mesh muscle shirts drinking Busch beer. It used to make sense. Attend a Winston Cup race? Clouds of tobacco smoke mingling with the smoke from screeching tires - it made sense.
What is there now? The Nationwide Series and the Sprint Cup.
Neither of which makes sense as the principal sponsers of NASCAR racing - an insurance carrier and a wireless company? Not to mention the fact that Sprint is also a kind of racing car - the kind of car on which many of today's NASCAR drivers cut their teeth. The same drivers that now race for the Sprint Cup. Seems just a tad incongruous to me - yes, I know it is just a battle of semantics - for more on such matters, of course, see my other blog!
