Sorry, didn't mean to make ya' mad. LOL. My use of the AD-HD thing is meant as a figure of speach only meant to represent the shorter attention span and the higher degree of close action desired by younger audiences. In addition, what consitutes enjoyable race viewing is obviously in the eye of the beholder. That having been said, I find a higher percentage of the younger fans of all forms of auto racing to be more entertained by the much more manic action on the shorter tracks. For years one of NASCAR's hottest tickets were Bristol.

The appreciation for the finesse and the need for smooth and calculated driving maybe isn't as enjoyable as it once was. But, then again, maybe I'm wrong.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
