conflicts of intrest
chaz enlightened me on a front page article in the washington post's style section.
i must say i am offended by the way the post is portraying the NASCAR fan as a drunkin redneck "hootin and hollerin" all day with stringy hair and bloodshot eyes. but on the other hand this does happen on some of the more grass roots tracks like Dover. and to be completely honest most of the article seems like a detailed account of my trip to Darlington's "Lady in Black" a couple years ago. view the similarities below...
- camping out the friday before? - check
- cap and coke? - crown and coke, but... check, check
- slight rain? - check
- drunks driving trucks through the fields spraying mud? - check
- shouts of "Yee Haw"? - double check
- stringy, shoulder-length black in need of shampoo? - sans the shoulder length, check
- hotdogs on grill? - check
- 4 ft long cooler stocked with budlight? - odly enough no... it was natty light
wonder if the guys they interviewed had a blister on their index finger from opening beer cans for 3 days straight? i did...
and this quote is just spooky
Three men on a beer run drive by in a golf cart, almost tipping out the guy seated in the rear with his arm around a life-size blow-up sex doll. "Can I borrow her a minute?" someone yells out.
