Am I alone in thinking NASCAR and Professional Wrestling have striking similarities? Lots of hype? (I know I've I mentioned this before but I'm old so stuck on this.) I got yelled at in IM and told I was jealous of Danica because I said that it was oddly coincidental that Petty, who has a respected history in the sport and has no reason to make waves decided to speak out about her ability to win a race "only if everyone stayed home" last week and then she was in the top 5 for a few laps at Daytona where she happened to be second for a bit last year also.

I smell a rat--a publicity rat--drivers instructed to let her "show" to stir things up and then the race becomes a race with her finishing at 27 or so. (This very jaundiced old bat does think that the best driver eventually wins but keeping the action and interest going until a few races before the final cut makes ratings and sells tickets. I like Martin...he's also old.)
