No, I am not a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan. As a matter of fact, this blog is starting to have a anti-NASCAR feel to it.
Don't get me wrong. I love racing. I was raised on racing. But, NASCAR is not racing, it is a 4 hour commercial.
There is no greater beneficiary of the giant commercial that is NASCAR than Dale Earnhardt Jr. Think about it, you may love the commercials Peyton Manning is in, and he may work as a very effective spokesperson for your product. But, Jr. brings an obsession. He has throngs of fans willing to buy the crap from his toilet if he told them they should.
He does this through his marketability, not racing ability. Lets face it, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, and honestly? Probably half of the drivers who crawl into a race car on Sunday are better drivers than Jr.
That does not matter in a world where fans lack intelligence (For the record, I have the right to slam white southern/redneck men, everybody knows they have the right to attack their own people/heritage). Jr. won a race today by pure luck and now his fans are bracing for the dominance he has never shown. The dominance that they claim will be there.
Me? I'll keep on laughing (under my breath, drunk rednecks are dangerous) as better drivers continue to show their superiority.
Bottom line? Local Saturday night short track racing is better than NASCAR.
