yes, I think it is a way of life , I love NASCAR! I started watching it in 2006 because my step dad and his friend Chuck went to a car show and meet David Reutimann and became friends and gave them pit passes to the Craftsman truck race at Gateway and now David Reutimann is our favorite driver and is Chuck friend . And I went to that race and I have meet and talked to him about 5 times and have been hooked on NASCAR ever since.Driving that race car is a lot of hard work and at that amount of speed and avoiding crashes. I don't like people who bad mouth NASCAR either.
