Withdrawal Symptoms Setting In For This NASCAR Junkie
Starting to get a runny nose
Legs and arms starting to ache
Feels like the flu, but I know what it really is.
Withdrawal Symptoms
No, not for Dope, but for NASCAR!
Classic withdrawal symptoms realizing there will be no NASCAR worth watching.
Sure the Nationwide series goes to Mexico City Saturday, but road racing doesn't really count.
The only comfort I have is that when the Sprint Cup schedule does resume, we will be in Talladega and that being one of my favorites, I take great comfort, because 'The Big One' always looms. And that race, quite frankly, is about as good as NASCAR gets.
Not that I am a freak for crashes
But damn, thats what I call a wreck
The Big One
start drooling, just thinking 'bout Talladega.
But what do I do for this withdrawal pain? Here it is Wednesday and the next race isn't for 10 days. What will you folks do, fellow NASCAR Fans.
I am open to ideas. Any port in the storm.
Help me with my withdrawal.
I need a NASCAR fix fast!
ZuD,
Don't think of this week as a "week without NASCAR." NASCAR is still happening, all the time, 24/7. Sure, there isn't an actual "race" this Sunday, but every other facet of the sport is happening, right now. This week, stories and conversations that we simply don't have time for will take place. The network of NASCAR die-hards should use this time to address topics that sometimes go overlooked due to the demanding schedule. Do something surprising this Sunday ZuD. Step away from your TV and go get in a racecar. Go to your local track, or get in a simulator, or even get in a GO-KART. The sky's the limit my friend.

Shush Robert
Don't let the folks here in on it!
The UP should remain unknown to the rest of the world
Paradise is near there
But it's Paradise cause no one knows about it...
Mums the word!

For one, I will be watching the Mexico City race. Think about it, there are only five road course races in the entire world where you can see 3400 lb cars that are not designed for road racing careening around the corners, and bouncing off of each other. The field is just as tightly packed as it is at Talladega, and the big one is just as likely to happen. I mean, it can be fun watching six or seven cars doing a surealistic ballet in the gravel.
Other than that I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

Three times a day til April 27, take the loudest appliance you have and lock yourself into the bathroom with it. (Me, I'm taking the vacuum into the shower stall.) Crank that sucker up as far as it will go, scream "Talladega" til you're hoarse and whack the appliance against the wall till it sounds like car parts sprinkling all over the pavement. Dunk your head under the spigot and pretend it's hillbilly champagne showering all you as you do burnouts in Victory Lane. File your teeth in the mirror and pray to the spirit of the Intimidator that every Sprint Cup driver gets so riled up that they howl at the moon every night until the next race.
