NASCAR and ArmchairGM: An Exposition

Larry the Cable Guy demonstrates a few reasons why we don't see more NASCAR articles here at the 'Chair.
Larry the Cable Guy demonstrates a few reasons why we don't see more NASCAR articles here at the 'Chair.

The Daytona 500 has come and gone and with it has gone America's interest in NASCAR. After the race the talking heads that support racing were going on and on about how all the story lines aligned perfectly to boost America's love of racing. I don't know about any of you, but I haven't heard (or cared to hear) jack squat about people driving in ovals since the day after the "Super Bowl of NASCAR."

Therefore, I feel it's time to further expound my comment from an earlier article and present to you...

The Top 25 Reasons NASCAR Fans Don't Write Articles on ArmchairGM!

25. Too tough to type when holding a beer and a cigarette.

24. Boycotting Armchair because (insert driver) doesn't have as good as bio page as (insert driver).

23. Too busy watching the latest Larry The Cable Guy DVD to write an article.

22. Wanted to contribute to ArmchairGM but couldn't find the screen on their Lazy Boy.

21. Have to take their keyboard back to Walmart because the keys were put on with the letters all jumbled.

20. Couldn't figure out how to wikify "dem der drivers."

19. Focusing their time on trying to be the next contestant on their favorite reality show, My Name is Earl.

18. Most trailer parks don't get that intranater thang.

17. All the tobacco spit makes the keys stick.

16. Boycotting all forms of media until Junior is made a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.

15. Can't type after losing fingers in an unfortunate Lawn Boy + Beer equation.

14. Too busy uploading the episode of Cops they were on to Youtube.

13. Don't want to share a website with those snooty F1 fans.

12. Still dealing with the tragic loss of their uncle-brother-dad-grandma.

11. Looked at their "What Would Junior Do" bracelet and decided they were too freakin' sweet for Armchair.

10. Global Warming.

9. Tried to create an article on Armchair but the ad free environment left them scared and confused.

8. Still recovering from $1 Draft Night at Bobby John's Place.

7. Too busy celebrating the fact that their son is the first in the family to get a GED.

6. Scared and intimidated that their articles won't live up to the expectations set by the Cricket World Cup preview.

5. Still working on their critical analysis of their favorite inspirational drama, Joe Dirt.

4. Wants to get a computer but trying to figure out their new-fangled VCR first.

3. Needed a computer, bought a carburetor.

2. So many AA meetings, so little time.

1. It just takes too dang long to write an article when you keep instinctively turning your chair left.

This blog really sucks. Maybe you should stick to serious subjects.

I agree with the Anon, Seepie... NASCAR is NOT a serious subject. It's not your fault the subject matter for this blog sucks. I do however enjoy the plethora of generalizations...

I'm a NASCAR fan and a Junior fan, but I think if No. 16 ever happened, I'd have to boycott both -- possibly permanently.

On a more serious note, I think an article like this speaks to a widely-held view about NASCAR. Sure, it's America's most popular form of motorsports and it's the second-largest spectator sport behind the NFL, but general Americans fell it's still the sport of good ol' boy redneck moonshiners, and I don't see that changing any time soon, even with the sport's gradual commercialization. Yes, there are races in the Midwest and two near Los Angeles every year, but to general sports fans, NASCAR's on the fringe -- some don't even consider it a sport (which is a completely different argument). With ESPN again investing air time and massive dollars to the sport, will that change? Hard to say, but I don't see NASCAR being the kind of sport discussed by nearly everyone the way the NFL, NBA and MLB are.

I was watchin the most recent race in CA, forget what it was called, but it was interesting. There were 15 laps left and it was a pretty close race, then there was a crash which was cool. Then I watched the entire second half of the UNC vs Maryland game before the race even started back up again. Seriously, if they want to keep casual fans like me, they need to get the races started up again more quickly.

I'll never watch or be interested in racing because I'd rather go out and drive myself than watch other people do it. I don't find the mechanical aspect of cars interesting, so I don't have that motivation either.

I will proudly proclaim that ArmchairGM.com could use, nay...NEEDS to have some quality NASCAR representation.

It IS a major sport (whether our pride is too great to allow us to be lumped into the stereotypes or not).

Somewhere, I know there's a really classy, Dom Perignon swilling, linguistically comprehendable, non-rednecked NASCAR fan...

I agree with Manny. I am a really classy, Don Perignon eating, linguini swilling, red headed and perty NASCAR fan. I speak English, several southern dialects, can count to 10 in Spanish and write in fluent typoneese. I even have a fairly readable NASCAR blog with no ads. The driver's have to get their horoscope's somewhere.

Ok...so I'm not a redneck, I have a little class, who is Larry the Cable guy? My pc is a monster with a 320 GB Sata hard drive, 2048 MB and a graphics driver that would rally any F1 car and is completely wireless, oh did I mention it even has a remote? I am a retired competition water skier and spent years with the National Ski Patrol...typical NASCAR fan?? Oh...and my NASCAR blog is fun to read
