As an avid stock car racing fan I find it difficult to get through those weekends without NASCAR cup coverage on the television.Once spring is in the air and the racing season begins I get all pumped up over who's going to be dominant during the season and what drivers' ego may get rattled that week... or what bonehead's going to wreck the leaders race car and a chance at a win.
A lot like a soap opera isn't it? Can't wait to see if one of our favorite racer like Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be sitting at the top of the points chart that week.
I hate it when NASCAR takes the weekends off to celebrate Easter and Mother's day...no offense please, and we don't get to watch the best in the stock car (or any other form of racing for that matter) business battle it out at the race track.
Even though I watch the stock car race live each week, I do like to plug in the VCR and tape the sports event at the same time and save them for those Holiday weekends without a scheduled race. I save the most memorable ones.
Does anyone else do that?
One of the most memorable races for me was when Dale Earnhardt finally won that elusive Daytona 500.It's a moment in NASCAR history to watch over and over again.
Just seeing all those pit crew members line pit road and victory lane patting , shaking hands congratulating him and showing so much respect for the man we all loved to hate.
Another one for the memory books was a race I actually attended at the POCONO speedway.
Davey Allison got into one of those really scary car wrecks flipping end over end down the back stretch around the tunnel turn on the high speed flat track.
Boy,I miss those guys.
Anyway...that's how I get thru those weekends without Stock car coverage.
Any other race fanatics have a collection of memorable NASCAR races on their VCR?
How 'bout you ? .......Leave me your comments and have a HAPPY EASTER!!
