My kids like Nascar and I can't figure that out. I don't really get it. They don't get into it enough to follow particular drivers or care all that much who wins, but they seem to like watching it. Personally, it's not really my cup of tea, but it's fine that my kids like it, I guess.

I come from a town where people put out American flags and Nascar banners during the summer. There's a dirt track that holds races every Sunday night about four miles from where I grew up. On muggy nights, the sound from the track carried all the way to my house and I could hear the cars racing as I went to bed as a kid.

And still, I never got into it.
