Over here in America, NASCAR is huge!!! You don't have to be a so called "Redneck" to love Auto Racing! It has the most spectators that attend a sporting event with the most money, companies, fans and people involved!!! Some would like to say football or even baseball is bigger, (you would think) but it really isn't. Some people don't consider it a sport, those people really don't know much about Auto racing!!!
I go to 2 of the Nascar races every year. My favorite is down in Dover Deleware at "The Monster Mile". 1 mile of oval track, 35 degree banked turns, 165 mph on the straight-a-ways, 130 mph in the turns, all packed into one mile!! It is pretty exciting. Dover Air Force Base is close to the track. Before every race here in America, The United States Air Force always does a "Fly-By". Incredible to see and hear these jets scream by. The entire place shakes. You can almost feel the heat from the exhaust of the jets.
The "Super Speedways" as they are known like Talladega and Daytona is "white knuckle racing" at its best. Full throttle, Onstant 200mph of pure sheet metal, Cars 3 wide. One slip up and its all over.
The 2003 season just started Feb 16th. There is a race every Sunday all the way to October. The teams and drivers are at a different track each weekend until they visit all on the curcuit. Then they go back to each track for the other half of the season. Each track is visited twice.
