Anyway, I'll still watch maybe 8 races this year. Probably not start to finish. I'll probably DVR them, then skip over the endless cautions, maybe zoom forward to make the cars go 400 miles per hour. On the other hand, I'll watch every single Formula 1 race. F1 has much less passing, but the cars are cooler, the courses more exciting, and the races shorter.
But if you have nothing to do Sunday, I do suggest watching a lap or two of the Daytona 500. In small doses, it can be interesting. Beer helps. Daytona is a high-speed traffic jam, there's always close racing somewhere. And at the very least, it gets people who say "they just go in circles," to realize how hard it is to be that good at driving. Even if they still find watching it to be dull.
I want to pick Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win this one. He's got a fast car. Unfortunately, he always finds a way to lose. I'm going to go with Regan Smith, who I know next to nothing about, have barely heard of, but who had a fast car in the qualifying races yesterday. And the Championship will be won by Kyle Busch.
