It's just really funny to me.. I mean, it's not like he's calling me out, but in a way I feel like it.
All star race was crazy, but I guess not that impressive to Kermit since tons of SCCA guys race for 1 million dollars all the time... oh wait. No they don't.
I'm not hating but I'll share some experiences here...
Tonight, at Charlotte's Speed Street, I MC'd for our trackside Live show... I stood on stage in front of 10,o00 people and got the crowd pumped up before I introduced our hosts. 10,000 people in the middle of downtown charlotte all going crazy for Speed and Nascar.
It was incredible... I was on my game and the people were fired up. Why ? Because they have passion about something.
If you've never been to a race before, you commenting on it is like me talking shit about the Space program that NASA puts on. What the hell do I know about it ?
The sport is crazy for sure. The speed, the rumble of when a car passses you at 200 mph... it's insane. and if you've never been inside for a race you probably aren't going to get it.
The corportate side of NASCAR is obvious. Like many other things in our culture, Cash RUles Everything Around Me (CREAM) and in our country if there is good money to be made all the big dogs want it and that's exactly what's happening.
We are owned by Fox, so in the end, it's their call. But what has put us truly on the map is the EXTENSIVE Nascar coverage. Does that mean I don't want to see more F1 or American Le Mans series? Hell no.
Dig it though... Two Wheel Tuesday, Build or Bust, Unique whips... we've got tuns of shows for other stuff too.
Plus premiering June 29 is an all new show called "Pinks" which is a show where people talk shit, they race, and if they lost the race, they lose their car. Real life, real cars and it's awesome.
But like others said, you can either start your own motorsports network, you can realize that since it is a motorsport and you're an auto-enthusiast that it's ok to support it even if it's not your #1, or you can go get on www.SpeedTV.com and join the insider message boards and start preaching what you want done.
Either way, in the end, you don't really know that much about Nascar or the skill that is involved in the sport. Did you know that more and more guys who become crew chiefs have degree's in Mechanical Engineering? You probably did since you know tons about the sport![]()
