Like most on here, I prefer my sprint car racing without wings (As illustrated by the fact that if Haubstadt doesn't rainout tonight, I'll make the 175 mile drive there instead of the 60 mile drive to Pevely.) But I don't think wing fans are "brain washed", nor am I "disgusted" by their choice.

Honestly, as someone who watches both varieties of the sport, this sounds kind of condescending to me. We're still something of a niche sport, can we afford to be snobs about which type of sprint racing we support?

And by the way, I saw a pretty **** good wing race last week at Jacksonville between Brian Brown and Danny Smith.
