It had been years since I had watched da Daytona. It had been more than just years that the whole thing had been watched and yesterday wanted to see the start and ended up hanging out at a friends for maybe 50 laps of the 200 total. We know how bad this sport needs taxpayer funds and here are some of the things noticed.
There is at least one military car team and has been for some time. Don't know the specifics and don't give a shit.
Rednecks were everywhere.
The invocation was done by a black man and he was the only one I saw and there were people everywhere.
jeebus and praying were mentioned more than once.
Three people said the traditional start your engines hooey but not before there was a plug for their movie or TV program or some damn thing like that.
Some young women who is somebody to these rednecks screached out the anthem.
The track surface had been redone so instead of pack racing as is the norm is was cars doubling up on each as that was the quickest way to get around. It was very odd.
The same rhetoric about this and that from the mouths in the booth and those that crashed. The same shit that has been said for years and years.
There was and has been been a very accomplished young women that made the field as well. Watched this for over two hours and her name was not mentioned. Maybe they did when she led later on.
I found this to be even worse than ever before and the major reason for that is the corporate influence on this sport. There is not one good thing about it. Not going any farther than that except to say this is probably one of the better reasons why I dislike corporations so much.
HERE"S THE MEAT FOLKS
Prior to the start the altercations that have happened on the track and between drivers and teams was framed almost identically to the way "professional" wrestling is done.
I found this so disgusting I vowed never to watch this stupid ass cuntry bumkin fucking redneck nonsense ever again!
Yea the repug politicians in DC sure luv them some racing now don't they and you do too cuz it's your money. Enjoy!
