As many have said before me, this is no race fan.:34; This is a person who doesn't have the intelligence God gave little apples or knowledge of racing to see greatness. I am a race fan who enjoys all types of racing. I also can see driving talent and recognize outstanding achievement. I hope that some day she gains some common sense and realizes what these drivers do to entertain us.
Doubtful, but I guess I can always hope.
Very real explaination there. Probably why people hate Stewart the way they do. He is successful in everything he drives (well mostly everything). When a driver gets to be that good people want to see the do bad.
However, cheering for some to wreck or when they wreck is totally 100% unacceptable no matter what. Now, when they spin out and hit nothing or get spun out and hit nothing there are some drivers I do chuckle at because they have such an ego (Danica) that I can;t help but get a kick out of.
