Yep. Love wasting racing grade fossil fuel and putting unnecessary emissions into the air; love the smell of race car emissions and burning rubber in the morning, afternoon and evening!

Just like I did not watch the Olympics. Will turn on the television for The Walking Dead though (I know gun porn).

My dad loved stock car racing. I could never get into it.

A NASCAR race probably pulls 20 million viewers. If 25 percent of them are watching the race instead of using two-stroke engines, that means a NASCAR race actually conserves resources and reduces pollution.
