Since so many of you in this thread have referred to NASCAR, I want to share what has become a pet-peeve of mine this summer. When has it become the in thing to have your obituary read "NASCAR FAN"? I have lost count on the number of obituaries I have seen posted in The Palladium-Times the local Oswego, N.Y. paper stating "NASCAR FAN". It was alot! So, I found myself asking what is up with that? Oswego residents have the best supermodified track in the country within their city limits and their obituary reads "NASCAR FAN". Go figure!

It isn't just the Oswego paper, Patti. You'll see it here too. This, the home of several sprint car drivers, both past and present.
I gave up trying to get co-workers to go to a sprint car race. They would rather talk NASCAR racing if anything. In my office there are about 3 very casual fans, 1 of whom is from Bedford originally. Huge Kinser fan, but seldom goes to any race.
