Well, I hate NASCAR probably much more than you do, because living SO CLOSE to the track, I have to deal with the annual redneck fiasco up close and personal. Chaw spittin', shirtless, mullet headed, budwieser swillin', Lynard Skynard listenin', Klan lovin', inbred dickwads who love to piss on my trees. Although I have seen some nice boobies from time to time... but I digress.
As much as I LOATHE that stuff, THIS: "and if it's one of the better-known ones, they can beatify them to Elvis-Diana Sainthood (tm)." ,was mean and uneccessary. I still felt bad when Dale Earnhardt died, and honestly, the fans of that "sport" loved him as much when he was alive as after he died. No one ever talks of him as being a "saint" either.
Also, there are alot of us here who aren't into the track. So don't go basing the entire state on one small part of it.
