I am a huge Nascar fan but over the past few seasons, we have taken to calling it Napcar&#8230;since you can start the race, see about 50 laps or so, then take a nap, and wake up for the last 50 laps and you will be able to get the gist of the race. Used to be a big fan when the teams were allowed to be innovative (read cheat) and the cars were not identical. Loved it when, I think it was Curtis Turner, took his 67 chevelle race car and cut 8 inches out of the center to make it narrower and thus faster. Back then, and into the 70&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s, it was always interesting to read about the sport and who got caught; then you could marvel at their creativity. Now people get caught for a bolt missing from an oil tank or being off from one of the templates by a 16th of an inch&#8230;just not the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;this weekend was pretty terrible for the good guys&#8230;the Wings lost two and then Michigan State went down&#8230;but congrats to Butler..hope they win it all.
