Nascar, The Great American Past time. Generally the first thing most non Nascar fans think about when someone starts talkin about the races is a bunch of drunk Redneks watching cars go around in a circle. Well on the most part they are right, but a lot of people who aren't Redneks enjoy the sport too. All I can say is that I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday after noon that watching a bunch of millionaires ramming each other on a speedway. Nascar is No 1 when it comes to the amount of people who attend the races and watch it on TV. Pro Football came in a close second. So that right there should tell all the non Redneks that there are more of us than they are of you.
The best way as a Rednek to enjoy
the races are as follows:
Buy the complete package. This gets you in the gate for the
qualifying, the Busch race, and this coming year the Nextel Cup. Be
sure to get the infield passes, (Depending on the speedway) so you can camp
in the infield. Some of the best parties I ever went to when on after
the cars stopped.
So if you want to be a Rednek racin fan like the rest of us, here's what you do. Pick you a driver. I have included a chart of all the drivers, sponsors, and car #'s at the bottom of this page. Paint that drivers # on the side of you car. Get yourself 3 cases of beer and head on out to the race track. I'll be waitin on ya in the pit, so we can get in a fist fight as we argue over the restrictor plate rule. I'll see ya there.
Here are some great photo's from some racin events all across the U.S.
