After so many years, and even at times this season, being unable to pull myself away from a NASCAR Race just to get some chores done, there I was last night trying to force myself to watch it to the end. 

This problem is not the result of my driver not finishing well, or the racing being any worse than it has been in the last few years, and certainly not because I necessarily wanted to do make such a large dent in my “honey-do” list.  No this time it was just because I was tired to watching it. 

My declining interest closely parallels so many others who once held strong interest in this sport.  Most notably my younger brother, who just as I had for many years, tried to live and breath the sport of auto racing for 52 weeks a year, regardless of how many weeks they actually raced. 

Enter Brian France.  Rest in peace Bill France, Jr., your presence kept this sport going.
